9 Call Me Dad

After few seconds, the receiver of the call answered the phone. The voice sounds powerful but it wasn't authoritative.

"Hello? Is there anything that I can do for you, son?"

"How are you, Uncle? It's been a while."

"I'm good. I'm good. I'm taking the medicine that you sent me last time and it really helps."

"That's great. If you have any problem or concern, just let me know and I'll handle it for you."

"Yes, I'll do that. Anyway, when will you stop calling me Uncle? I told you to call me Dad but you never listen."

Alexander remains quiet for a while…

The man on the other line sighed, "Don't worry, I understand. Anyway, why did you call? Is there something wrong?"

"Hmmm, I just want to inform you that Zyrin is back."

Mr. Zhang gasps, "Is that real? When did she arrive? How come she didn't inform me about this?"

Alexander knew that Mr. Zhang will ask those questions…

He didn't respond immediately and waited for him to ask another series of questions.

"Did you fetch her on the airport? Is she staying with you right now? Do you think she's staying here for good?"

"Uncle, she's staying at Jiayi's place, right now. I don't know about her plans yet but I'll convince her to stay."

Meanwhile…

Inside Jiayi's VIP Suite, Xyrin decided to call her assistant.

"Find a place for me. Make sure that the place is convenient for our ZX's boutique. And don't forget, it should be spacious… the upper place of the building will be my home for now. Thank you." She said and hung up the phone.

"Hey! Don't tell me, you're not planning to stay with your parents?"

Xyrin and smiled to confirm what Jiayi said.

"You're impossible! Why not stay in my place, then?"

"As much as I want to, I can't."

"Why?"

"Will you be able to endure my parents' nagging voice every day? Will you be willing enough to answer their calls whenever they please?"

Jiayi laughed heartily.

"Of course…" Jiayi replied and continued laughing.

"Really?" Xyrin asked smilling.

"Of course! Of course, I can't!"

And they both laughed crazily.

"I knew that you'll say that," Xyrin said in between her laughter.

"Anyway, will they allow you to stay somewhere else, given the fact that you're already gone for three years?"

Xyrin was about to answer Jiayi's question when the doorbell rings.

"Who could it be? I didn't ask for a delivery." Jiayi asked, almost complaining.

Despite her annoyance, she opened the door and was surprised to see who's outside her doorsteps, "Uncle Zhang!"
