Ji Pianran was supposed to be at work, and indeed, she had already settled into her office seat.
Yet a faint sense of guilt continued to envelop her heart.
This promptly led her to think involuntarily of the two times she had promised her daughter to take her out for fun when she was less busy.
But she had never managed to follow through with it.
Then, she had promised to join her daughter today for the kindergarten's group outing.
However, when she woke up early this morning, she had broken the promise again.
Thinking about Tangtang's disappointed expression in her big eyes when she said goodbye to her this morning,
Ji Pianran felt as if there were thorns under her chair, making it impossible to stay seated anymore.
Her thoughts in disarray, she tossed the pen in her hand aside and then zoned out for a while.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she abruptly stood up from her chair.
She reached out for her handbag next to her and stood up to walk out.
