Chapter 162: I WILL BE BACK SOON
Jiming Ge~ How are you?" Ning Mei answered the call cheerfully.
She heard a low chuckle and Ning Jiming answered, " I am good. How are you, Xiao Mei? "
Ning Mei nodding her head replied, "Yes. Yes. I am also good. Is Grandpa well ? "
"Yes. He is well too. He just missed you a lot. " Ning Jiming said.
"So you don’t miss me?"
"Silly girl! Who is the calling right now’?! If I didn’t miss you would I be the one calling? "
Ning Mei bit her lip suppressing a laugh and said, " Alright. Alright. I admit defeat. Don’t be mad. And how is everything going on... ? .... "
The brother and sister talked for a while and then Ning Mei said, " Jiming Ge, pass the phone to Grandpa. I have something to tell him. "
Ning Jiming kept silent to a while and then said, "Xiao Mei, I would have passed it to grandpa, but he is not here. He is sleeping right now. Should I call back when he wakes up. "
Ning Mei made an knowing face on the other side of the phone. She knew the old man was sitting right there listening to them talk. He did not want to talk to her. Or in better words, he does not want her to know that he secretly listens to them talking.
And this time, Ning Mei did not let him get away with it. She decided to expose him this time. So she said , " Bahh! No need to lie. I know he is sitting near you. Just pass him the phone or actually better just put the call on speaker, if it is already not. I need to speak about something really urgent with him. "
There was no sound from the other side of the call, which Ning Mei took as a sign that Elder Ning was listening to her. Still to make sure, she asked, "Hey. Hello? Is anyone there on the other side? Jiming Ge, can you hear me? Is Grandpa listening to me? " Ning Mei asked a series of questions together in a spoiled child’s voice.
On the other side, Ning Jiming cleared his voice and said, "Umh. Yes. Xiao Mei. Grandpa is here and ... listening. And you voice is clear. "
Ning Mei smiled in contentment and then said in a very sweet voice.
"Hi. Grandpa. How are you doing ? Jiming Ge said you are fine. But I know you are not taking proper care of your health and delaying your medicines. Now, I Know, I know, I am also at fault. I am not there to remind you about that and all those things. Anyways, but still, Grandpa, I miss you a lot.
I know you don’t want to talk to me. It’s okay. You have all the reasons to be upset with me. I don’t call regularly, I did not even come home for the past three years, I don’t allow you to talk about me in front of anyone. I am so sorry about that but believe me, when I say that it is only helping me become better. And it is also helping so much in my plans in the future. "
Ning Mei for a moment stopped, expecting any response from the other side. But when she heard nothing, she continued her monologue, "I really miss you Grandpa. And I also miss Jiming Ge. I also miss our home. But you know what?! I have a good news for you both! I will be returning back soon! "
As soon as these words left her mouth, Elder Ning could not control himself and said hurriedly, "Really?! When ?! Should I tell Jiming to book the tickets? Tell me when are you coming back ?! " Ning Gongxue said so much in one breath in his exitement.
On getting the sudden response from her grandpa, Ning Mei giggled and said, "Yes. I am really returning. And I have missed you guys so much. And grandpa and Jiming Ge, this time , I will have so many surprises for you guys. And I mean it when I say that you won’t be disappointed by me. You would not be disappointed by you decision on keeping me away.
And Grandpa, please no need to book tickets now. Because I still got time. I will be returning back and meeting you on your birthday. Okay?"
Ning Gongxue was happy and satisfied that he got to talk to her after so long and that his grand daughter was doing good and will be coming back soon. But he still complained, "Ny birthday?! Xiao Mei ! My birthday is still there months far ! What if this old man expires before his birth day? "
Ning Mei then consoled Elder Ning like a child, "Dear Grandpa, what’s the behaviour? You are not allowed to say such things! You still have to live long. You still have got so many things to do. You have to witness my achievements. Attend my wedding . Play my kids ! Ohh my goodness, so much work ! And you are speaking about dying.
Okay. I am at fault of being late. You scold me as much as you want when I go back. You would also be allowed to pull my ears . Happy?"
Ning Gongxue harumped and said, "That I will do for sure. No one can stop me. "
The Grand father and grand daughter duo chatted for a while and after that his hanged the call.
After hanging on the call, Ning Gongxue looked so much happy and content. He had a huge smile on his face while he held the phone and stared at the screen.
Ning Jiming looked at the old man side eyedly and said, "You never look so happy when you talk to me. "
Elder Ning looked at him unbothered and said, " I get to see and hear you every day. "
Ning Jiming was rendered speechless with this. Then he asked, " Why are you smiling so much? "
On hearing him question, Elder Ning took a deep breath and said, "I was thinking about our Meimei getting married and having kids. How wonderful it would be, right.
Thinking of it, the little girl grew so much and so beautifully. "
