"Where is everyone? Why is there no one at home?" Xia Li's voice carried over.
"Is Dad not home?"
"No. I haven't seen Dad. Where did you guys go?"
"Xiao Hong gave birth, we're all at the hospital."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"We were just talking about you when you called. I was wondering why I didn't see you."
"I was asleep. Which hospital are you at? I'll come over now."
" it's too late, you don't need to come."
"What are you saying? Xiao Hong gave birth to Xiao Bao, I have to go see him."
"Then come over. It's the same hospital where Ilana had her first baby. Twelfth floor."
"Which room?"
"Let me ask." Guo Xuyang looked at Li Minxi and asked, "What's the room number?"
"Room number one."
"Room number one. When you get here, just ask at the nurse's station."
"Okay. I'm coming right now."
Guo Xuyang hung up the phone and said, "Is it too late to inform the family now?"
"No, it's not. You should call Xiao Hong's family now," Wu Shangqing said.
"Make sure you explain that the road is long, so you won't be coming in person to deliver the good news. Don't let her family blame us."
"I'll ask Xiao Hong," Guo Xuyang said, looking at Xiao Hong, only to find she had fallen asleep again.
"Let's wait until Xiao Hong wakes up. I don't have her parents' phone number either."
"As a son-in-law, that's all you are.
By the way, do you know Dad's phone number?" Li Minxi asked.
"Yes. What's up?" Guo Xuyang was confused by Li Minxi's remark.
"I mean my Dad's phone number. Do you really know it?" Li Minxi repeated.
"Uh, uh, I haven't called Dad yet?"
Guo Xuyang couldn't help but touch his nose.
"It's fine as long as Dad knows my number."
"What if something happens to me, how will you tell my parents?" Li Minxi persisted.
"Isn't Li Minyu here? I have Li Minyu's number.
She can tell the family then."
"You're truly a useless son-in-law," Li Minxi said resentfully.
"It's all my fault. When we get back, I'll save all your parents' phone numbers to my phone."
Guo Xuyang said sheepishly.
"Really, you've been married for so long, and she's had a child for you.
You still don't know Xiao Hong's parents' phone number.
You're truly useless."
"You're blaming me? I'm out running errands all day. You guys are together often, do you know her parents' phone number?"
Guo Xuyang was a bit indignant.
"Of course.
Xiao Hong hasn't been home for so long, if she doesn't call her family, what does that make her?
Besides, even a married daughter is like spilled water, she shouldn't lose all contact with her family.
Moreover, Xiao Hong only registered her marriage abroad, and her parents here don't acknowledge it.
Otherwise, do you think Xiao Hong has been reluctant to go back?
She was afraid her parents would drag her to the hospital to have an abortion if she went back.
She stayed to protect your son."
"Then give me her parents' phone number, I'll call them."
"You need to think carefully about what you're going to say. Also, her parents probably won't say anything nice when they receive your call. You need to be prepared to endure that," Li Minxi instructed.
"Of course. Xiao Hong has already given birth to a son for me, so I have to listen even if her parents scold me."
"It's good that you have this attitude. Don't hang up if they scold you a few times.
If you do that, Xiao Hong will truly never be able to go home again."
"It's not that serious, is it?"
"It's not that serious. You'll know if you try making the call later.
For Xiao Hong's future happiness, you have to be patient."
"Alright. Give me the number. If it gets any later, they might be asleep."
"Remember what I said." Li Minxi said while handing Xiao Hong's parents' phone number to Guo Xuyang.
"Got it, stop nagging. I'll go out to make the call. Don't wake Xiao Hong up," Guo Xuyang said and walked out.
