“Okay . We’ll call them right now . ”
Huo Mian let go of her caution about her father’s work and Lu Yan .
Picking up her cellphone in excitement, she called her father first .
She heard two rings and then was cut off .
She put down her phone in disappointment and thought her father was probably busy with work in his lab .
“Mom, what’s wrong? Grandpa didn’t answer it?” Little Bean lifted her head and asked innocently .
“Your grandpa must be busy . ”
The moment she said the words, her phone rang . Seeing the strange number, she answered in excitement .
“Hello?”
“Mian . ”
Hearing Professor Lu’s old voice call her name, Huo Mian got emotional again .
“Dad,” she said chokingly .
“Mommy, calm down . ” Thoughtfully, Pudding put her little hand on her mother’s knee to comfort her .
“Mian, you seldom call me . What’s up?”
As a father, he always thought of his daughter no matter how far she was .
“No, nothing . Dad, I didn’t talk to you for a long while and I just… missed you . I hope I’m not disturbing your work . ”
“No . It’s just a phone call . It’s not a big deal . ”
Professor Lu didn’t tell his daughter that constant calls would indeed expose his whereabouts . But for him, talking to his daughter was more important .
“Dad, how are you doing lately?”
“Good, very good,” Professor Lu said .
“How about your health?”
“I’m very healthy . Don’t forget I’m a doctor . ” Professor Lu’s voice sounded amused .
“Dad, you must take care of yourself . The weather in the States is unpredictable . You must dress warmly . What’s your favorite food from here? I’ll mail them to you . The delivery services are very fast . ”
“No . I’ll go back when I have time and I’ll eat my favorite food then . ”
“Okay, okay . Oh, by the way, do you have time to talk to the kids? They miss you so much . ”
Huo Mian was so emotional that she almost forgot that the twins also wanted to talk to their grandpa .
“Yes, I do . ”
Hearing the mention of his two granddaughters, Professor Lu felt even warmer inside .
“Sis, you first . ”
Surprisingly, Little Bean let her sister to talk first . Huo Mian realized that Little Bean was thoughtful, too, and she always let her elder sister take the first turn on big issues .
Shyly, Pudding took the phone and said sweetly, “Grandpa . ”
“Pudding . ”
“Grandpa, how did you know I’m not Little Bean?”
“Your voices are easy to recognize . I’m not befuddled with age yet . ” Professor Lu laughed .
“Grandpa, I missed you so much . Please take care of yourself . ”
“I will . I’ll listen to you . Pudding, you’ve made lots of money lately in the stock market . ”
“Grandpa, you’ve been following the developments of the stock market in China?” Pudding was excited .
“Yeah . Pay attention to Wanhong Tech . You’ll be pleasantly surprised . ”
“Wanhong Tech . I heard its chairman is on the run since he’s involved in fraud… Does it mean… he company will be restructured?” Pudding murmured to herself .
Professor chuckled but didn’t speak .
Checking the time, Huo Mian reminded her in a low voice, “Pudding, let your sister talk . ”
Reluctantly, Pudding handed the cellphone to Little Bean .
“Grandpa, I missed you so much . ” Little Bean’s voice was resonant probably because of her bigger size .
Huo Mian laughed out loud .
“Whoa . You have a big voice… Little Bean, have you done experiments lately?”
“No . Mom doesn’t let me touch chemicals, saying they are either toxic or explosive,” Little Bean complained with a pout .
“Your mom is too cautious . When your auntie was your age, she could make more than 10 kinds of simple bombs,” Professor said with a chuckle .
