Deep Confession over the Phone and Daily Trivia

Beep... Beep... Beep... Her cell phone rang. Another unknown phone number? She hesitated a bit because she was afraid it was a call she didn't want to answer. But in the end, she still picked up.

If it was Xu Dingyuan again, she thought she would say some things clearly, even if they were unpleasant, so that they could both forget the past. The road ahead was still long. She didn't want to go back. If she had to expose Weixin's father, she really would.

"Hello? Baby?"

"Oh, it's you..." She had thought so much. It turned out to be the father of her son!

"Are you asleep?" Ken's magnetic voice came through the cell phone, softening Zhuang Bao's previous struggle.

"Not yet. What do you want from me?" Zhuang Bao asked him directly.

"I miss your voice."

"Come on, don't be so cheesy. My voice isn't gentle. You hear it every day. Do you still want to hear it?" Zhuang Bao really had no sentimentality.

"No. Your voice is just right for me," Ken was simply being stubborn with her.

"Then next time, when I'm giving a report, please record it with a recorder. You can listen to it as long as you want."

"Baby, why haven't you improved at all? I'm saying sweet words to you. It's okay if you're not intoxicated, but you're being cold and making me sad. Boo... I'm really pitiful," Ken clung to her and was very smooth at being stubborn.

"Do you have something to say or not?" Zhuang Bao completely ignored his cheekiness.

"Not fun at all. Well, I wanted to ask if you're free on Sunday night," Ken had to get to the point.

"No," Zhuang Bao answered without thinking because she had just accepted Anna's invitation. She was going to watch Anna's show with Weixin and was still rummaging through her wardrobe for what to wear.

"Ah, why did you reject me so quickly?" What was wrong? Ken felt very uncomfortable.

"I have an appointment with someone else," Zhuang Bao certainly wouldn't tell him that she was going to a fashion show, lest he follow along. Then Weixin would be exposed.

"Um... Can I know if you're dating a man or a woman?" Ken asked uneasily. He really could be defeated by her! If it weren't for their intimate relationship, he really would have thought they were just a boss and an employee.

"A woman," Zhuang Bao was too lazy to be wordy and didn't have so many thoughts.

"Good. Otherwise, I'd go and follow you to see which wild man you're dating," Ken joked, feeling relieved. But in his heart, he knew he might really do it.

"Are you crazy? How could I go on a date with a man with my son?" Zhuang Bao chuckled because his attitude made her feel valued.

"What about me? What about me? Is there a possibility that you'll bring your son to date me?" Ken asked her.

"That depends on whether my son wants to see you or not!" Zhuang Bao told the truth.

"What about you? Will you go on a date with me?" Ken wanted to know if he had any status as a lover in her heart.

"Isn't it enough to see each other in the office every day?" Zhuang Bao also thought that they had sex every day! Wasn't that enough?

"Not enough. I want you by my side all the time," Ken asked sincerely.

"That would be so boring. Do you really have to tie yourself to another person? How unfree would that be," Zhuang Bao thought it was okay like this now. There was no need to be together every day.

Ken paused for a moment and still decided to tell her his feelings: "The moment I met you, I gave my freedom to you."

"You're talking nonsense again! We met seven or eight years ago! You've still been free until now. When did you give it to me?" Zhuang Bao said with a smile, but she was still secretly happy about these words because what woman didn't like to hear such things.

"I gave it to you. I gave my whole heart to you at that time," Ken said firmly.

Zhuang Bao was a little unbelieving and a little more willing to believe. Yes, he had left her a son he didn't know about. Was this really God's will? Was that why she met him again? Was that why she unconsciously forgot Xu Dingyuan? Was that why she clearly knew she had moved on? Because God made her meet him again and let him ignite the little desire in her heart with his boundless enthusiasm?

She didn't know! She was really confused! She couldn't respond to him correctly at this moment.

Not getting an answer from her, Ken continued, "So all these years, I've never had any fixed girlfriends, and I've never been as distracted by other women as I am by you. It seems I've been waiting for you to meet again for no reason. I don't know what would happen if I hadn't met you again. But thank God for the arrangement that let me meet you again and let me know that my wandering around all these years without emotional stability was to meet you again! Because I had already given my heart to you. I didn't know this before and never thought about it. But now that I know, of course, I won't let you face me indifferently. I will use everything I have to win your future."

Zhuang Bao's heart was touched by this confession, but she was still rational and didn't want to be confused like this. "How can you be so sure? How can you say that you're tying your future to mine like this?"

"Didn't I tell you, baby?" Ken said very clearly and slowly, word by word, "That's because I love you. I love you from the bottom of my heart for no reason."

It was too sudden! Zhuang Bao could hardly resist. The way of life she relied on, the protective shell she hid in, now seemed to be collapsing a little bit, being removed bit by bit by him...

"Baby, I love you!" Ken felt completely relaxed. "There may be many difficulties in the future, but please believe that I really love you and I will always be here."

"…" She really couldn't say anything in response to his naked enthusiasm.

"Baby, are you still there?" Ken didn't get any response from her and almost thought she didn't want to listen.

"Um..." Zhuang Bao made a sound.

"Baby, now I just want you to relax and enjoy my love. That's enough! I don't ask you to respond equally quickly. I just want you to get used to my existence and let me participate in your future..."

"Wait! You're talking too fast. I can't understand for a while," Zhuang Bao called a halt. "We've only been together for a week or two. I can't be like you, but I will think about it carefully."

"Thank you for giving me a chance, baby!" Ken didn't want to push her. "It's late. Go to bed early. Can I come to see you tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? No! Weixin has a whole day of extracurricular study. He's busier than me," Zhuang Bao remembered her son's music class. "I'm afraid one day he'll ask me to learn the jazz drums or the trumpet."

"Is he very lively?" Ken guessed.

"Not really. He just has a strong learning ability," Zhuang Bao relaxed when she talked about her son and talked more. "I don't know how to teach him anymore. Fortunately, he can communicate with me about what he wants and what his thoughts are..."

"I see..."

The two adults just chatted on the phone, talking about daily life. By the time they said good night, they had been talking for an hour or two. No wonder Zhuang Bao felt her ears getting hot.

When she went back inside, oh! The big one and the small one were still at war.

She had to speak up and stop them! Otherwise, Anna definitely wouldn't make it to the final rehearsal tomorrow morning, and Weixin would oversleep and miss his piano class. But the two of them were in the heat of battle and couldn't listen! So she resorted to a trick. She walked to the main switch at the entrance and ordered them to save the game and stop immediately. Otherwise, if the power was turned off, everything would start over!

Amidst sighs, the big one and the small one had to stop and made an appointment to continue the unfinished battle next time.

Anna even shouted that it was only a little after twelve o'clock and Mommy Bao'er was too strict.

Fortunately, her son was sensible. He saved the game before Zhuang Bao cut off the power and also advised Anna to follow Mommy's rules obediently. Otherwise, when Mommy was stubborn, she wouldn't talk to them for many days. He remembered it vividly and didn't want to experience it again.
