Ji Weitian stood at the door, lowering her head to rummage through her bag for the front door key. Just as she was about to say the key was missing, the door opened from the inside.
A small, soft, glutinous figure stood at the entrance.
A snow-white lace top matched with denim overalls, on her feet were a pair of duck slippers, adorably cute.
Looking up, there were a pair of big black grape-like eyes, a small nose, a cherry-like mouth, and fine, soft hair draped over her shoulders, making her small face look only palm-sized, appearing only three or four years old, like a miniature version of Ji Weitian.
The big eyes blinked, yet there was a slyness in them that didn't belong to her age.
In her arms, she hugged a chubby cat, with Ji Weitian's house key hanging on the cat's paw.
One person and one cat looked together at Ji Weitian, who was standing outside.
With a childish voice, in a tone as if she were a little adult, she reprimanded Ji Weitian, "Mommy, you forgot to bring the key again."
Seeing her daughter, Ji Weitian's joy was suddenly anchored by this remark. She looked down at the key on the cat's paw, stunned for a second, then loudly exclaimed, "Fatty, so that's why my key is missing from my bag, you stole it away!"
"Meow—" said the cat that was pulled out to take the blame, letting out a wronged meow before dropping the key and running away.
Ji Weitian swiftly picked up the key, put it in her bag, and picked up Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling at the door, showering her with kisses, "My little darling, I missed you so much! I haven't gotten used to not having you nagging me these past few days."
The little princess with the serious face finally couldn't resist the longing for her mom and reached out to hug her neck, "Mommy, I missed you too."
This sentence tugged at Ji Weitian's heart painfully.
She gave her daughter a couple more kisses before carrying her inside the apartment.
"Mommy brought you a gift that you'll surely like..." Ji Weitian began to say but suddenly remembered she was in such a hurry to get back to see her daughter that she left her luggage at the Ji Family's place, and the gift for Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling was in that luggage too.
"Mommy, did you lose my gift again?" In the blink of an eye, Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling, who was nestled in Ji Weitian's arms, was now pouting and wriggling out of her embrace.
Crossing her small arms, she unhappily sat on the sofa, picked up the little notebook behind the sofa, and made a note against Ji Weitian, "This is the one hundred and eighth time you've lost the gift you bought for me!"
Ji Weitian said, "I didn't lose it... just forgot it…"
Oh no, the little princess was angry, and the consequences were severe.
But the gift was at the Ji Family's, a distant water source couldn't quench a nearby fire… got it!
Ji Weitian lowered her head and searched through her purse again, found a bank card, and handed it to her, "This is the bonus I received from my business trip. Can it replace your gift?"
The little Dumpling, who was just a ball of fury, now eyed the bank card in her hand, her eyes lighting up. She feigned reluctance and said, "I will reluctantly forgive you this time, but only this time!"
After speaking, she took the bank card from Ji Weitian's hand, tucked it into her own little pocket, then scooped up the cat beside her and turned into the room to find a computer, planning to transfer all the money on the card into her little treasury... in one go!
Ji Weitian was mercilessly abandoned in the living room. Just as she was about to follow, her phone rang at that moment.
Picking it up, a steady voice came through the other end of the line, "Cindy, I've dealt with the people tailing you. Do you need me to check who they are?"

PS: This book has a lot of new attempts, and the later parts will become increasingly exciting. I want to write it well and meticulously, so there are many times when the manuscript is written and then deleted, deleted and then rewritten... striving for every chapter to achieve the best effect and to please everyone.
As for the update time, I plan to set it after midnight. During the new book period, there will be at least four chapters daily. If there are special circumstances, I'll inform you in advance in the comments section.
A new week has arrived, and on account of the two adorable little treasures, how about sending the new book to the charts? Ask for five-star reviews, comments, and recommendation votes—
