Gu Xinzhou then obediently climbed onto the bed to catch up on some sleep.
Song Zhen helped her close the door.
"Song Zhen!"
Gu Xinzhou suddenly called out to him.
He opened the door slightly and peeked inside, "Hmm?"
Gu Xinzhou hugged the blanket, blinking her innocent big eyes at him, "Are you busy today?"
Song Zhen, "Is there something?"
Gu Xinzhou, "You also didn't sleep all night. If you don't nap during the day, how will your body handle it?"
Song Zhen laughed, "Alright, I'll try to come over earlier to sleep with you."
Gu Xinzhou, "..."
He closed the door and left.
She was utterly speechless!
What she meant was that she could nap in the morning, and he could nap in the afternoon!
She didn't mean for him to sleep with her at all!
Gu Xinzhou exhaled in annoyance.
Indeed, men!
They just can't be treated too kindly!
Elsewhere,
The dining table was filled with a breakfast meticulously prepared by Lan Baozhen.
This was McDull's first time inviting a good friend over for a meal, and she couldn't let McDull down.
So much so, that when Gu Yibo and Qi Lei saw it, they both exclaimed, "That's a lot!"
McDull and Little Xiahua sat side by side, with Lan Baozhen, Gu Yibo, and Qi Lei sitting on the row opposite the children.
Lan Baozhen looked fondly at the children across the table, "Let's eat!"
Little Xiahua cheerfully reached out her hand to pick up the utensils, but McDull had already speared a plump, juicy siu mai with his fork and handed it over to her plate, "Little Xiahua, try this. It's really tasty!"
Little Xiahua, "Thank you!"
She then scooped some corn kernels into McDull's bowl, "McDull, you eat too!"
McDull then inserted a straw into a yogurt for Little Xiahua, "Little Xiahua, drink this! It's delicious!"
Little Xiahua also grabbed a youtiao for McDull, "You eat too!"
The adults opposite them couldn't help but laugh joyfully.
Gu Yibo helplessly said, "You two, eat your own food, stop offering it to each other, otherwise you'll waste time and be late for school."
Lan Baozhen sternly scolded Gu Yibo, "What are you doing? Kids eat slowly, why are you rushing them! It doesn't matter if they're late to kindergarten, it's not like it's elementary school!"
Gu Yibo, "..."
Before Gu Xinzhou returned to China, he felt Lan Baozhen was very affectionate toward him.
Every month when he stayed in Wan'an Town, Lan Baozhen would specially prepare delicious dishes for him.
But now?
His son-in-law had fallen out of favor.
Feeling gloomy, his phone suddenly rang.
He saw it was a call from Gu Xinfei and nervously glanced at Lan Baozhen before stepping aside to answer.
Gu Yibo, "Xinfei, what is it, calling so early in the morning."
Gu Xinfei got straight to the point, "Dad, I've bought a ticket to fly to New Zealand this morning; I'm already on my way to the airport. I opened a new bank account yesterday, and I've sent the number to your phone. Remember to send me my living expenses today, otherwise I'll definitely starve!"
Gu Yibo clearly hadn't expected Gu Xinfei to leave on her own so soon.
He was taken aback and quickly asked, "Isn't it, Xinfei? Didn't dad tell you that I'm working with an agent to find you an overseas university where you can continue your studies? Don't you want to pursue your master's degree anymore?"
Gu Xinfei, "Just remember to send me the money! I have friends over there, but I can't possibly live off them for everything!"
Gu Yibo, "Your friend's name, address, I've been asking you for these for days. Why haven't you given them to me yet?"
Gu Xinfei, "The signal in the taxi isn't good. That's it!"
Gu Xinfei hung up on Gu Yibo's call.
When Gu Yibo called back, the phone was turned off.
