Chapter 2188: A Sudden Need
“I don’t need it. I have my own money.” Wan Dou refused to accept it.
“Take it. This is a little token from me. If you don’t accept it, I will feel terrible.” Wen Zhehan smiled. His sincerity was irresistible.
“Okay, I’ll keep it first.”
Wan Dou decided to keep it as an emergency fund.
“Okay, you should rest early. Good night.”
“Good night.”
After closing the door, Wan Dou looked at the bank card in her hand and sighed softly in her heart.
She sat down on the bed and called her parents.
Mother Wan was still not used to her new home. When her husband was not around, she was alone. There was no one to talk to.
She sat by the phone in the living room and waited for her daughter’s call. As soon as the phone rang, she picked it up.
“Hello, is this Doudou?”
“Yes, mom. Have you and dad had dinner yet?”
“Yes. Your dad is on the night shift. I’m at home alone. How are things over there? Are you used to it? Did Mrs. Wen and the others make things difficult for you?”
“No, I’m fine here.”
Hearing her mother’s concerned voice, Wan Dou felt a little heartache. In the past, she had always felt that her mother was especially naggy and always wanted to stay away from her.
But now, she felt like she couldn’t hear enough. She hoped to hear her mother’s voice often.
“That’s good. Your father and I can rest assured now. Oh right, you’ve already returned to the Wen family. Did Mr. Wen say anything about you and Chenguang?”
Mother Wan asked worriedly.
“Not yet. Let’s wait a little longer! We’re not in a hurry.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Call us if there’s any progress.”
Wan Dou and her mother chatted for a while. After hanging up the phone, she lay in her new place. She was actually suffering from insomnia.
She thought of Mu Chenguang and wondered what he was doing. She opened the chat interface and was about to send him a message when she realized that he was typing. Moreover, his message was quickly sent over.
[Honey, are you asleep?]
[Not yet! What about you?]
[I’m not sleeping either. I’m thinking about you. Are you back at the Wen family home? Are you used to it?]
[Pretty good.]
They chatted with Mu Chenguang until it was almost midnight.
Wan Dou lay down and turned over for a while. After a long time, she finally fell asleep.
…
The next day, Wan Dou woke up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
When she arrived downstairs, she realized that everyone was already eating breakfast.
Wen Shiyu saw that she was late and said, “Why is Sister Wan Dou only here now? Did the servants forget to wake her up? The breakfast is getting cold. Let the kitchen prepare another one!”
She was obviously trying to remind Wen Zhehan that Wan Dou had woken up late and asked everyone to wait for her.
“Sorry I’m late!”
Wan Dou came over and apologized.
Wen Shiyu thought her father would say something, but Wen Zhehan only cared about Wan Dou. “Did Doudou sleep well last night?”
“It’s okay. I had some insomnia at first, but I fell asleep later.”
“Yes, I didn’t ask the servants to wake you up. I wanted you to sleep more.”
Wen Zhehan saw a servant bringing a new set of food and urged, “Okay, get ready for breakfast! After breakfast, go out with your auntie.”
“Okay.”
When Wan Dou began to eat, Wen Shiyu and Li Meien did not speak anymore. After breakfast, Li Meien said, “Okay, Doudou, get ready. Come with Auntie!”
