"What have you been busy with lately?"
"Reading, painting... Oh, right, I've started learning a new piece these past few days. I'll play it for you when we meet."
"That sounds great!"
She agreed promptly but felt a pang of sadness at the thought of their uncertain next meeting.
"It's getting late. Mommy, you should rest early. I'll call you another day."
Although reluctant to hang up, she knew the little guy should be in bed by now, so she immediately responded with a smile.
"Goodnight, handsome boy."
"Goodnight!"
There was a faint sound on the other end of the phone, and then Huangfu Jue's voice came through.
"I just watched your TV program; you were fantastic!"
Gan Yuan immediately smiled, "Thanks a lot!"
"How have you been feeling these days? Any pregnancy symptoms?"
"Much better, now I eat and sleep like Little Pig."
She tried to keep her tone light; he had children to care for and a lot on his plate. She didn't want Huangfu Jue to worry about her any further.
