Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 533 - 456: Daughter and Dad Bonding (Second Update)

Chapter 533: Chapter 456: Daughter and Dad Bonding (Second Update)

"Really? That’s great!" Huo Li was originally an atheist, but as long as it ensured her child’s health and safety, she’d believe in anything.

Yi Luowa wanted to stay a bit longer, but Yi Weiyang noticed it was getting late and urged her to leave several times. Reluctantly, Yi Luowa finally followed Tong Airui and left the hospital.

"Heading back now means we’ll get back to the camp gate just as the shift ends," Yi Luowa muttered in the car.

"You actually know it’s late?" Tong Airui gave her a sarcastic hum.

Yi Luowa glanced sideways at him, "How dare you hum at me! I didn’t delay you—you’re the one who didn’t want to leave!"

"Could I even leave? If I left, you’d have stayed at the hospital all night!" Tong Airui gave another dissatisfied hum.

Yi Luowa reached over and tugged at his ear, "Huo Li’s been so nice to me. I stayed to take care of her, and you dare to complain?"

Tong Airui winced in pain, gritting his teeth, "Would I dare complain? I was even thinking—if you stayed to take care of Huo Li, I’d stay to take care of you. If the kids are with their mom, I’m at ease. But you living alone outside? That makes me worry."

"Pfft." Sitting in the front passenger seat, You let out a laugh, "Mi Chenxuan, your fourth brother sure knows how to talk!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Mi Chenxuan chuckled, "He’s so smooth because I’ve taught him well."

You pouted in discontent, "As if! You’ve never talked to me with such a nice attitude. You’re always yelling at me!"

"Don’t go badmouthing me in front of your sister! When have I ever yelled at you? I’ve practically worshipped you." Mi Chenxuan coughed lightly, "Fourth sister-in-law, You’s exaggerating. I’d never yell at anyone—you know that too."

Yi Luowa flicked his forehead, "If you dare bully You, I’ll slice your melon of a head right off."

Mi Chenxuan shrank his head in mock pain, "Fourth Brother, my fourth sister-in-law is threatening me!"

"Serves you right!" Tong Airui laughed and pulled his wife into his arms, "Let’s head straight home."

Yi Luowa froze, "You’ve been out half the day—you’re not going to check in?"

"If anything had come up, they’d have called me already. It’s this late, and my phone hasn’t rung once."

Mi Chenxuan laughed, "Yours may not have rung, but mine’s been going off all afternoon. Nothing serious though—they’re all just checking in on my fourth sister-in-law. My second uncle and Colin even called. They said to make sure you spend quality time with my fourth sister-in-law. They’ve got things covered over there."

Tong Airui frowned slightly, "Why didn’t you report this sooner?"

"You jumped in the car and started sweet-talking your wife. When was I supposed to report anything? Honestly! Hurry up and get Yuan Hang back—I’m done chauffeuring you! Usually, I only take calls from my mom and my wife, but ever since I became your driver, my phone barely survives the non-stop calls about all sorts of trivial nonsense!"

"If they don’t ask you about these trivial matters, are they supposed to ask me? If you don’t like being my driver, no problem. Go join the peacekeeping force. I’ll arrange for you to go somewhere for three years—maybe longer—so you can’t come back."

You whipped her head around to look at Tong Airui, "Brother-in-law... Fourth Brother, Mi Chenxuan was just joking!"

Tong Airui tightened his expression with a hint of discontent, "Whether he’s joking or not, you need to get your titles sorted out. Stop calling things willy-nilly."

You gave an awkward chuckle, "Fourth Brother, I’ll only call you Fourth Brother from now on—promise no more weird titles. And please don’t banish Mi Chenxuan for years. Otherwise, who am I supposed to have babies with?"

Mi Chenxuan chuckled and lightly turned her head, "You silly thing, Fourth Brother’s just scaring you!"

"What if he’s serious?"

Mi Chenxuan said firmly, "There’s no ’what if’!"

You turned back to glance at Tong Airui and saw him smiling, her heartbeat finally easing up.

You pursed her lips and blinked at Tong Airui, "Fourth Brother, you’re the kind of person that makes people love you and hate you at the same time!"

Tong Airui curled his lips slightly, "I don’t need you to love me—you just focus on hating me. Your sister can handle the loving part."

Yi Luowa laughed and playfully punched him, "Stop messing around. Don’t you need to call Dad?"

"Once we caught the guy, our involvement ended. As for the rest of the headache-inducing work, Dad and Captain Muta will handle it."

"Buzz buzz..." Tong Airui was still talking when his phone rang.

Yi Luowa glanced at the number and laughed out loud.

Tong Airui pinched her nose before answering, "Dad, do you need something?"

"Where are you?" Long Che’s voice sounded displeased.

"... On the way home." Tong Airui was baffled—what’s this about? Why is he upset?

"Don’t dawdle—hurry back. I just called home and heard Sangyu crying terribly. It’s so distracting, I can’t even focus on business with Captain Muta."

Tong Airui raised his eyebrow slightly, "We’ll be home in five minutes."

"How’s Luowa doing? She’s not scared, is she?"

"She’s fine."

"Buzz buzz..."

Yi Luowa saw Tong Airui staring at his phone in a daze and playfully nudged him, "Got scolded? Sulking?"

Tong Airui shook his head, "I was just thinking—when will I reach Dad’s level? Prioritizing the kids so much he neglects serious work. Seems I’m pretty unqualified as a father."

Yi Luowa pouted, "Don’t be too hard on yourself. I haven’t reached that level either."

Mi Chenxuan laughed, "It’s not happening this generation. Wait till you have grandkids—then you’ll be like my uncle. It’s called ’skipping generations’ when it comes to affection."

"I was so busy with Huo Li earlier that I didn’t even call Mom to let her know everything’s okay!" Yi Luowa suddenly remembered and hurriedly searched for her phone.

Tong Airui grabbed her hand, his voice deep, "I already called her. But I just called Mom—not Dad. I assumed since Park Shunyan was caught, Dad would know you’re okay, so I didn’t bother calling him. Turns out, before hanging up, he specifically asked about you. Now I feel—not only am I not a good father, I’m not a good son either."

Seeing him grow increasingly upset, Yi Luowa clasped his hand in return, "Let’s both make an effort from now on. Whether there’s something or nothing going on, let’s communicate more with Mom and Dad. Even if they complain about the calls, deep down, they’ll still be happy."

Tong Airui silently nodded.

You, having listened to their conversation, quickly pulled out her own phone.

Mi Chenxuan gave her a suspicious look, "What are you up to?"

"I haven’t called my mom and dad for days—I need to call them now."

Mi Chenxuan shook his head with a helpless laugh, "We’re almost at the house—how much can you chat right now? Call them after dinner; I’ll talk to them too."

"You’ve matured!" You puckered her lips and giggled.

Mi Chenxuan chuckled and smoothly drove into the gate.

Uncle Che wasn’t lying—Sangyu was indeed crying. When Yi Luowa entered the house, Tong Yao was pacing the living room, holding the baby.

Even so, the little one kept sobbing, her big teardrops trembling on her long lashes.

Yi Luowa quickly removed her coat, washed her hands, and took the baby from her mother-in-law’s arms.

Once Sangyu was in her mom’s embrace, she calmed down for a while, but soon started grumbling again, on the verge of tears.

Tong Airui frowned and turned to his mother, "She’s still crying even in Luowa’s arms? What’s going on?"

"You go hold her." Tong Yao nudged her son, wanting to see something.

Tong Airui cautiously took the baby, and Sangyu stared fixedly at her father’s face. Within moments, she began to laugh with delight.

Yi Luowa glanced at Tong Airui, "What’s on your face? Why is she laughing just by seeing you?"

Tong Airui kissed the baby’s cheek with a grin, "She’s daddy’s girl—isn’t that sweet? Jealous?"
