Jiang Yimian looked at the phone screen, a little hesitant.
But thinking of her daughter's immature face, she glanced in the direction of the bathroom again, bit her lip, and pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call was connected, my daughter's surprised voice came from the other end: "Mom, where are you?"
The little guy's tone was full of longing, which made Jiang Yimian feel sour in his heart, but he still held back his tears and said softly: "An'an, mom will go back tomorrow. You must listen to Grandma Li tonight.
Do you know?"
"Is Mom really not coming back today?" The little guy said, almost crying uncontrollably: "But...but I miss Mom."
Hearing this, Jiang Yimian looked at the bathroom again and said quickly, "Mama will go home tomorrow and buy a doll for An An. An An will be obedient tonight, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually decreased.
Immediately afterwards, the bathroom door was gently opened a crack.
Jiang Yimian's heart suddenly rose, and he hurriedly warned her, and hung up the phone before her daughter could say anything else.
Zhao Jingyan walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas, with water droplets still on her hair. He walked to the bed, his eyes resting on her mobile phone with the screen still on.
Jiang Yimian felt his gaze and subconsciously turned down the phone, her fingers trembling nervously.
I hope in my heart that my daughter will stop calling me.
But her phone vibrated again, which made her heart skip a beat and her face turned pale.
"Why didn't you answer?" Zhao Jingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her inquiringly.
Jiang Yimian slowly raised her eyes to meet his gaze, moved her mouth, and was about to say something when her phone was suddenly taken away by him.
"Give it back to me!" She quickly stood up and wanted to take it back, but it was still a step too late.
Zhao Jingyan had already pressed the answer button, glanced down at Jiang Yimian who looked anxious, and pressed the hands-free button again.
Soon, my daughter's cry came again on the phone, and her little voice said vaguely: "Mom, I miss you..."
When Zhao Jingyan heard this childish voice, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he quickly thought of a result in his mind.
A result that made him ecstatic.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yimian aside. His heartbeat accelerated, his fingers unconsciously closed, and the fingertips holding the phone turned white, and his breathing became rapid: "Who is it?"
If you listen carefully, you can see that there is a hint of excitement in his voice, and he seems to be hiding the panic in his heart.
Jiang Yimian's hand hanging by his side kept shaking, his eyes were red, his mind was extremely blank at this moment, and he didn't respond for a long time.
The daughter's soft and confused voice came again from the other end of the phone: "Mom, didn't you hear that?"
Zhao Jingyan's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at her with hot eyes, with a bit of expectation and desire in his eyes.
"I..." Just when Jiang Yimian was about to say something, the voice on the other end of the phone interrupted her again.
This time it was Grandma Li's voice: "Mianmian, An'an missed her mother, so she dialed a number while I, an old woman, was not paying attention. I'm so sorry to disturb you so late."
Hearing Grandma Li's voice, Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief. He softened his voice and said warmly: "It doesn't matter. Grandma Li, you and An An should go to bed early."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you and you should go to bed early." After Grandma Li said this, she hung up the phone.
