Xue Rui didn't answer. Instead, he shook his head with concern. "My dad is too relaxed about this. How could he not have come?"
Ren Qunfang started nagging, "I told him not to come. Next time you pull a stunt like this, give us a heads-up. You're a grown man now, stop making us worry..."
"Alright, Mom, I know. I was in the wrong this time. I wanted to come back and give you a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be a scare instead..." Xue Rui admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude.
Ren Qunfang quickly forgot her earlier displeasure. She knew her son was just bantering to smooth things over, 'but what can you do? She loved hearing it. Who wouldn't want to feel cared for by their own son?'
"Xixi, Auntie will take you home first," Ren Qunfang said, walking over to get the car.
Xue Rui stood where he was, scanning the area. Knowing his dad, he refused to believe the old man hadn't shown up.
