Chapter 1610: 1609 Give them a surprise
10 AM.
The flight Bai Xiaoxiao was on arrived in G City. As the plane descended and the familiar city ca into view, her emotions surged like a rising tide.
Accompanied by the familiar scenery were mories of the past.
The joyful ones, the sad ones, all have beco part of the past.
Thinking of how Ranran must be waiting at the airport now, Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips tightly together, disregarding the emotional turbulence in her heart, and took out a mirror to check her face.
After getting off the plane, she took out her phone and turned it on.
What followed was the sound of incoming ssages.
A naless number slightly pricked Bai Xiaoxiao’s recently cald heart.
She halted her steps.
Passengers behind her walked past, while Bai Xiaoxiao held her phone tightly, hesitating whether to check the ssage or not.
Just as she considered opening the ssage, her phone suddenly started vibrating urgently along with a crisp ringtone, startling her into a slight shake.
The thought of checking the ssage dissipated.
She furrowed her brows slightly, pressed the answer button, and spoke coolly, “Hello!”
“Xiaoxiao, are you busy?”
In her ear ca the warm and joyful voice of ng Ke.
Bai Xiaoxiao responded with a hum and walked forward slowly, “What’s up?”
“Is calling you without a reason not allowed? Xiaoxiao, why is it a bit noisy on your end? Am I interrupting your work?”
“I just got off the plane.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered as she replied softly.
Before coming back, she hadn’t inford ng Ke because she never took the initiative to call him.
Nor did she want him to make a special trip to the airport to pick her up.
But now, with ng Ke coincidentally calling at this mont, concealing her return seed inappropriate.
“Just got off the plane? Xiaoxiao, did you go on a business trip?”
ng Ke hadn’t expected that Bai Xiaoxiao had returned to the country.
“No, I’m not on a business trip. I ca back to the country, just got off the plane and haven’t left the airport yet when your call ca in.”
“Ah, so you’re back. Is soone picking you up? Wait at the airport for a while; I’ll co to pick you up now.”
On the other end, along with ng Ke’s voice, was the sound of him getting up and moving his chair.
Bai Xiaoxiao was slightly startled and quickly said to stop him, “ng Ke, you don’t need to pick up. Ranran knows I’m coming back; she’s already waiting outside.”
“Oh.”
On the phone, there was a mont of silence.
When ng Ke’s voice returned, it carried a trace of undisguised disappointnt.
Naturally, he felt sowhat uncomfortable that Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t inform him about such an important matter as returning to the country.
Bai Xiaoxiao lightly bit her lip, “I wanted to surprise you all with this trip back. Besides Ranran, even my parents don’t know.”
“Even Uncle and Aunt don’t know?”
ng Ke’s voice seed to recover, and it carried a hint of amusent.
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed twice, “Yeah, so don’t tell my parents. I want to surprise them when I get ho later.”
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you at ho. Don’t co back too late.”
“Hey…”
Before Bai Xiaoxiao could voice her objection, ng Ke had already hung up on her.
Looking at the ended call record, Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows. She saw that there were only a few people left in the baggage claim area ahead, so she quickly put away her phone and went ahead to retrieve her luggage.
Outside airport security.
Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen were there with Momo, Xin Xin, and Ziyi, waiting with the three little ones.
And of course, there was Qing Feng and Qing Yang, the temporary babysitters.
“Ranran, Xiaoxiao’s coming out.”
Mo Xiuchen, being tall, had the advantage in the crowd, so he was the first to spot Bai Xiaoxiao, who was trailing behind others, pushing her luggage with one hand and carrying her bag with the other.
“Ah, I see her too.”
Wen Ran followed Mo Xiuchen’s gaze and indeed saw that stylish and fashionable figure.
“Xiaoxiao!”
She waved and called out to Bai Xiaoxiao, who was getting closer.
As their eyes t, a delighted smile blood on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face, and as soon as she erged, Qing Feng went up to take the luggage from Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao stepped forward to tightly embrace Wen Ran.
“Ranran, did you miss ?”
“Of course I did, I dread of you night after night. If you didn’t co back, I’d be falling ill with yearning.” Wen Ran’s teasing carried a trace of an odd emotion.
“Silly girl, your husband is right here. I dare not make you sick with longing for .”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice also held a bit of choking emotion.
It had been almost two years since the last eting.
Although they sotis saw each other via video chat, the videos couldn’t compare to this mont of holding each other and feeling each other genuinely.
Wen Ran released Bai Xiaoxiao, “Don’t cry, soon Ziyi and the others will start making fun of you.”
Though she said that, her own eyes were also moist, and her gaze sparkled, teary.
Beside them, Mo Xiuchen considerately handed each of them a tissue, “You two should stop shedding tears here. If you want to cry, do it slowly when we’re at ho.”
“Who’s crying? Ranran, we’re not crying, right?”
Bai Xiaoxiao took the tissue and wiped Wen Ran’s tears.
“Godmother.”
A tender voice sounded beside her, Bai Xiaoxiao looked down and saw Momo’s bright eyes looking at her curiously.
It was Mo Yang who first called her.
Ziyi and Xin Xin were also standing beside them, seeming to wait for her to finish hugging their mother before calling her.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t even bother wiping her tears, quickly squatted down, and reached out to touch Momo’s little face, “You’re Momo, right?”
“Yes.”
Momo, Xin Xin, and Ziyi were about to celebrate their second birthday soon, and they spoke earlier than other children their age, having moved beyond single-syllable words.
“Godmother!”
“Godmother!”
Ziyi and Xin Xin spoke in succession, but their expressions differed greatly.
Ziyi’s personality was very similar to his father’s, Mo Xiuchen, so even when happy, his small, handso face held a restrained smile, elegant in temperant.
Unlike Xin Xin, whose eyes squinted with laughter.
Excitent was written all over her fair little face, unabashedly.
“Ziyi, Xin Xin.” Bai Xiaoxiao hugged them each in turn, and once Ziyi pulled away from Bai Xiaoxiao’s arms, he stood beside Mo Xiuchen, gazing up and calling softly, “Daddy.”
“What is it?”
Mo Xiuchen bent slightly and held Ziyi’s small hand in his big palm.
Ziyi pressed his lips and said softly, “Godmother’s perfu sll.”
A trace of surprise flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes, while Bai Xiaoxiao widened hers in astonishnt, “Ziyi, you don’t like the perfu godmother wears?”
She sniffed herself again; it wasn’t unpleasant.
This was a scent she liked, yet Ziyi’s little handso face showed disdain and dislike.
Wen Ran looked between Ziyi and Bai Xiaoxiao and explained with a smile, “Xiaoxiao, Ziyi doesn’t like the sll of perfu. No matter the perfu, he doesn’t like it at all.”
Bai Xiaoxiao bent down, frowning at Ziyi, “What will you do when your girlfriend wears perfu in the future?”
