But What Can We Do?

Just as Little Juan decided to drag her brother out to play, Jie went to check up on his dearest wife. When he entered the room, Xu Mey was talking to someone on the phone. He went to the closet to change his clothes and when he came out, she was still busy on her phone. She wasn't on a call now but she was texting with a grin on her face.

"Baby..." he called out softly.

"Hmm..." she hummed in reply distractedly.

"I'm gonna take kids out for ice cream, come with us."

Xu Mey shook her head immediately. "Can't do, Ah-Jie. I have so much to do now. I just talked to mom and she said that we should hold a party in celebration of this good news. So, I suggested doing everything here at our place. Now, I have to call the event organizers and arrange everything. I have so much on my plate."

"...Weekends are family days," reminded Jie in a soft voice.
