Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 391: Shu Yan received a call from someone unexpected. (2)

Shu Yan started making a cake after she had washed her hands. She knew how to make basic ones from the past and had also paid for some classes a while back. She could successfully make a cake now.

Shu Yan went to take a bath after the cake was ready. She applied some nice makeup, pulled out a box from her drawer and put it inside of her purse and left for Xiazhuang Village with the cake.

The door to the old lady’s house next door was opened. Shu Yan recalled Feng Zeyu telling her that he had bought the place.

She walked over and saw Feng Zeyu there cleaning up a chicken.

“You’ve cleaned the place up? Are you going to stay here from now on?”

A bright smile appeared on Feng Zeyu after he saw that it was Shu Yan. “We have always kept this place tidy. I just cleaned it up this time so I can stay here. I’ll just open up a door in the yard so it will be even more convenient taking care of grandma.”

Grandma strongly insisted on staying over on this side. In her opinion, Feng Zeyu was already seeing someone and might be getting married soon. She wasn’t his real grandmother and they should not be living together.

Feng Zeyu had to take care of his comrade’s grandmother and Shu Yan was not related with her, he couldn’t possibly ask her to take care of grandmother with him. Since his house was right next door, he figured he could take care of grandma and Shu Yan…… should they get married, could stay over on this side herself.

“What’s that in your hand?” Feng Zeyu took it from her and put It down.

Shu Yan chuckled lightly and pulled out the box that she had prepared a while ago and handed it over to him. “Happy birthday.”

“How did you know that?” He never told anyone that it was his birthday today. He only planned to have dinner with Shu Yan today and had no intention of telling her that.

Shu Yan glanced over at him. “I saw your identification card when we went on a trip together last time. I wasn’t sure if you are going to celebrate it but I figured you are going to when you called me yesterday.”

Feng Zeyu’s lips curved upward uncontrollably. She had it memorized from just seeing it. She was paying attention to him.

“My mother’s place only goes by the lunar calendar so that was the one that she put down for me on my household register. That is what’s on my identification card. She used to celebrate it with me at our home town.”

Feng Zeyu couldn't help but recalled his birthdays when he was a child. His mother would fry him an egg along with a bowl of noodles. That would be his best meal of the year. He could still remember the taste of it even now. His grandmother also celebrated his birthdays with him after he came to City Nan. Nobody else remembered his birthdays since his grandparents had passed away.

“I celebrate my lunar calendar birthday as well.” Shu Yan smiled and said, “What did you buy for dinner? Let me go help.”

“No, I get it. I asked you over as a guest.” Feng Zeyu shook his head.

“You are the birthday boy today. You shouldn’t be the one cooking. Go and have a seat.”

Even though she said that Feng Zeyu wasn’t allowed to help out but he still helped with rinsing and preparing the vegetables. That sped Shu Yan up a lot.

Shu Yan phoned the chauffeur and had him drop the children off at Xiazhuang directly.

When dinner was almost ready, Shu Yan went over to invite the grandmother over to join them.

Old grandmother was particularly happy when she saw Shu Yan. “I’ve already eaten. You should enjoy yourself tonight. Yu never told me his birthday. I would have celebrated with him otherwise all these years. Okay, hurry back now. I really had already eaten.”

The old lady barely had any teeth left and couldn’t really eat. She was, however, glad that Shu Yan had asked.

“You can always eat a little more. At least sit with us.” Shu Yan extended her invitation sincerely.

The old lady was adamant about not joining them so Shu Yan had to have Feng Zeyu come and invite her.

“I’m old and I eat early and go to bed early. I’ll pass. You hurry back and be nice to her.” The old lady chased Feng Zeyu away with a big smile.

The two kids had come and, even though JingJing still referred to Feng Zeyu as Uncle, Tianbao was already referring to him as Dad.

“Daddy, I got another little red flower today.” Tianbao pulled out his little red flower and showed it to Feng Zeyu.

“Oh yeah? What is it for?” Feng Zeyu asked him tenderly as he took Tianbao’s backpack from him.

“Because I was the best kid in class. All the other kids were chatting in class and I was the only one who didn’t. So the teacher gave me a little red flower. Only three of us got it and I was one of them.” Tianbao was particularly proud of himself.

“Our Tianbao is getting mightier and mightier. Our wall is running out of room to put up Tianbao’s little red flowers,” said Shu Yan as she walked out with the dishes.

Everybody sat around and Shu Yan picked up the glass. “Let’s toast for Uncle Fang’s birthday.”

“Thank you.” Feng Zeyu was particularly touched.

They were half way through eating when Shu Yan went into the kitchen to prepare the noodles, one strand per bowl. “Come and get your longevity noodle. Remember to not bite on it!”

After dinner was finished bustling with noise, Shu Yan and Feng Zeyu cleaned up the living room and kitchen. Feng Zeyu would look over at Shu Yan from time to time and his heart bubbled.

“What are you looking at?” Shu Yan gave him a crossed eye.

After dropping Shu Yan off their place, Feng Zeyu couldn’t wait to go back home and open up the present that Shu Yan had given to him. He unwrapped it and it was a watch.

If he remembered it correctly, the one that Shu Yan had on was a matching one to this. He had no idea exactly how much it cost but it looked expensive. Granted, by the time they got to where they were, the cost really was not an issue. What mattered was the thought behind it.

This watch made a matching pair with Shu Yan’s one. Feng Zeyu laughed like fool as he stroked the watch on his wrist.*

“Hi, this this…… Shu Yan?”

Shu Yan received an unexpected call today.
