Ji Weitian glanced at the smug Ji Kaisui, her eyes narrowing as a trace of sarcasm flickered beneath them.
"Since Chen Xu is so great, why don't you go?"
Ji Kaisui was about to argue with Ji Weitian when Su Sumei stopped her with a look.
"Weitian, get a good rest tonight and don't disappoint your dad tomorrow," Su Sumei said as she pulled Ji Kaisui away.
Ji Weitian was fuming when her phone suddenly rang.
"Ms. Ji, your plane landed at five in the afternoon. It takes an hour by taxi, so you should have been home by six. Why is it now a quarter past nine and you're still not home, and you haven't even called to say you're safe?"
Hearing that deep yet pretentious mature childish voice on the phone, Ji Weitian finally remembered what she'd forgotten, "Baby, I was wrong!"
The deep-voiced little princess sighed, "See, without me around, you can't take care of yourself at all."
Ji Weitian guiltily coaxed, "Mommy got delayed with something urgent. Sweetie, be good and sleep with grandma tonight, okay? I promise I'll rush back to be with you tomorrow."
"Mommy, I'm four years old now!" the little princess seriously emphasized, clearly dissatisfied with being called 'sweetie.'
Ji Weitian could almost visualize her daughter holding up four fingers at the phone, pouting as she stressed being four.
During her time abroad, Ji Weitian missed her daughter terribly. Although she wished she could immediately fly back and embrace her daughter's soft little body, she could only keep sending kisses over the phone to ease her longing.
On the other end, Ji Xingyao still spoke like a little adult, "Without me by your side, you have to eat on time, don't stay up late, and don't kick off the covers when you sleep..."
Ji Weitian was used to her daughter's advice. She nodded like a pecking chick, instantly swapping roles as if she were the one who needed looking after.
After hanging up, Ji Weitian felt a wave of sadness.
It seemed she needed to quickly settle the blind date arranged by Ji Mofeng tomorrow and hurry home to reunite with her daughter.
Ji Weitian stayed at the Ji Family residence for a day. The next morning, the butler appeared promptly to wake her up.
Her eyes were bleary as she scratched her head and couldn't help yawning. She had stayed up responding to an important email and had only slept at dawn, so being woken was bewildering.
"Miss, President Ji instructed that the Chen Family is very prestigious and has many rules. Since you're used to being lax, you should arrive earlier at the restaurant to make a good impression," the butler reminded her formally.
"..." Ji Weitian finally remembered she had a blind date today.
Her eyes brightened as she got up to get ready.
For the first time in her life, she applied makeup seriously and changed clothes. Before leaving, she covered her face with a mask and followed the driver out.
Avoiding everyone, she sneaked out quietly.
As soon as she arrived at the upscale restaurant where they were supposed to meet, Ji Weitian saw a dignified and tall figure enter the restaurant before her.
Qin Nanyu?
Were her eyes playing tricks? How did she run into that jinx here! What a small world!
