Chapter 1575 - 1577

A phone call came just in time from back home, asking what Pingping and An An picked during the grab-the-birthday test.

Of course, Gong Ruini honestly described the scene at that time and took the opportunity to report that An An could talk but was lazy to speak.

On the other end of the line, Zhan Jing and others became excited immediately and asked to speak to An An.

Gong Ruini really didn’t understand why, even after she’d told them that An was a girl with a temper who didn’t like to talk.

Helplessly, Gong Ruini could only hand the phone to An An, indicating for her to speak with grandma.

Gong Ruini thought her daughter would certainly just speak some random alien language like before.

Unexpectedly, An An took the phone and said, "Hello, Grandma. Hello, Grandpa."

Gong Ruini was truly dumbfounded beside her; what was going on? Wasn’t she too lazy to speak? How did she suddenly start talking?

And her voice was so sweet, calling out uncle, aunt, and everyone.

"I think An An seems to be judging people before talking to them." Gong Ruini nudged Zhao Xuran standing beside her, quite displeased.

You claim you’re too lazy to talk; come on, girl, at least keep a consistent stance.

Zhao Xuran was also stunned but, of course, felt very unsettled inside, "Oh my daughter."

"Why did she only call ’Dad’ once and nothing more?" Listening to his daughter constantly calling everyone, some didn’t even know how many times she’d repeated, and still insisted An An keep speaking.

This time, even the always-doting Zhao Xuran was angry, "You ungrateful brat."

Aside from this term, he really didn’t know how to comment.

Gong Ruini laughed, and it was a very happy laugh, "So what do you plan to do?"

What to do? Zhao Xuran thought for a long time, feeling truly torn.

If it were a boy, and he dared to be so over the line, he absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to take action, but this is a daughter, a delicate little daughter.

"Let’s see if she continues to greet people so warmly afterward." Zhao Xuran still tried to fight for some chance for his daughter.

Hah, expecting An An to greet people warmly; Gong Ruini really didn’t have high hopes. Would An An really take the initiative to greet people so warmly? Gong Ruini thought the chances were not very high.

Why did their daughter suddenly become so warm? The only one to ask besides Zhao Xuran was him, "Do you think An An’s insistence on not speaking might also have something to do with Pingping?"

Pingping shouldn’t do such a thing, plus An An could talk, shouldn’t they be able to chat together?

Gong Ruini thought for a long time, choosing not to delve into the complexities here, "By the way, about our travel plans, when are we telling our parents about them?"

Although there is still some time before the summer vacation, they hadn’t mentioned their family travel plans to those back home, who only knew they were going on a trip.

As for this, Zhao Xuran looked upward, unable to tell Gong Ruini that, if they mentioned it, the chances of success would be very low.

"Is something wrong?" Seeing her man constantly pinching his nose, Gong Ruini was nervous, worried the whole plan might be ruined.

Shaking his head, "I will handle this." Having promised his wife, and she specially reading many books for this, it could be said their itinerary in Europe was perfectly arranged.

Once, Zhao Xuran saw the densely written notes Gong Ruini had made, really listing all the places she planned to visit this time.

"There really won’t be a problem?" Gong Ruini confirmed again, "I’m really going to book the tickets and finalize the itinerary."

"But I feel like we really don’t need a plan." Suddenly stopping, Gong Ruini said, "I mean once we get to Europe, we’ll just wander freely, stop wherever Pingping and An An like."

It’s not like they’re in a rush, Gong Ruini remembered that this time they might spend two months in Europe, which meant they had ample time, so they might as well take it as it comes.

More importantly, "We must satisfy our little lord at home."

In the past, when Pingping couldn’t speak, they could ignore his opinions, as they couldn’t understand him anyway.

But now this child could speak so fluently; it’s not that they want to deceive him, but no matter how they tried to beguile, he insisted on his original opinion.

This really left Gong Ruini feeling powerless; to prevent the little master from causing a fuss, a travel plan according to his wishes was necessary.

"That works too." Anyway, Zhao Xuran had no objections, "I have no objections. I’ll carry the money, and I’ll follow wherever you go."

Traveling is a time to relax; Zhao Xuran was truly dizzy seeing all those tightly written notes.

Many times, he wanted to say there was really no need to be so rushed; it wasn’t like they couldn’t come out to play, they had plenty of time to travel in the future.

"Ni Zi, you really don’t need to rush, we will have time to go out and play." Zhao Xuran felt guilty because originally, in Gong Ruini’s plan, he was supposed to accompany her on a great tour around the United States.

And now they were basically stuck in New York, rarely going out, not just because of the children being young, but also due to him working hard on financial studies.

There’s plenty of time for travel; regarding this, Gong Ruini held a cautious attitude. No matter how sweetly it is said, only when it gets done will she know what’s real.

Gong Ruzhi listened to the children talking on the phone, eagerly anticipating his sister’s reaction, but upon looking up, he found the two of them whispering to each other.

Please, you already show so much affection every day, how come you haven’t had enough yet.

Gong Ruzhi carefully tugged at Gong Ruini’s sleeve, motioning before she made a sound, pointing at Pingping who was speaking, signaling them to listen.

Listening for a moment, it really infuriated Gong Ruini.

With arms crossed, staring at a certain clever little fool thinking he was speaking quietly about them, thinking they wouldn’t hear.

Gong Ruini hinted at Zhao Xuran with her eyes, didn’t this feel familiar?

Zhao Xuran raised an eyebrow, realizing just how capable their son was.

"Seems he needs a good lesson." He never knew Pingping had so many opinions on them.

"It seems we really have been too lenient with them." Children liking to complain was understandable; they just wanted another shoulder to lean on.

"Indeed." Though Zhan Jing and them wouldn’t reprimand Gong Ruini on the call, they might suggest softly not to pressure the kids too much, or the like.

"What do you think will happen when Pingping learns to make calls?" Gong Ruzhi thought days like those were not far off or, perhaps, that day wouldn’t be too late.

Pingping himself would make calls? Goodness, Gong Ruini was shocked; if it indeed went like that, would they ever have peace again?

"No way, we need to restrict international calls." Otherwise, how could it be acceptable for Pingping to easily access the phone?
