She turned and walked towards the main door.
After she ended the call, Jiang Shaomei hastily returned. She said to Xin Yanting, “Yanting since your friend is here, you should stay in the capital city for two more days. I’ll head back first. There are tons of work waiting to be done at the office. I have to rush or I’ll miss the flight.”
She walked to the sofa and picked up the large bag she was carrying earlier.
She smiled and said to Jesse, “Jesse, you can stay here for two more days. I’ll make a move.”
Jesse stood up and bowed at Jiang Shaomei. “Goodbye.”
“Mother.” Xin Yanting stood up and followed her to the main door.
Jiang Shaomei turned around and looked into the house. Jesse was still standing at the sofa area. She retracted her gaze and smiled and Xin Yanting. “Bring your friend around the capital city and enjoy yourself. I’ll get someone to fetch you after.”
Her smile had a hidden meaning behind it.
Even the most foolish of people could tell. Xin Yanting pressed her lips but she didn’t bother explaining. She replied, “I’ve got it. I can head back myself, you don’t have to worry about me.”
It had been a long time since she returned home. She hadn’t had a meal with her father and mother in a long time.
She was originally eager to head home and have a good reunion with her parents.
But Jesse turned up all of a sudden and she couldn’t ditch him in the capital city.
The capital city! She didn’t want to stay in this city. Its air and… people were toxic.
The car she left at the Jiangs’ four years ago was no longer working. Xin Yanting drove Jiang Zhuoheng’s car and brought Jesse around the capital city.
Their plan was to visit the scenic spots and historical sites in the capital city.
After visiting three locations, it had already turned dark.
After a whole day of sightseeing and driving, Xin Yanting was tired and hungry.
She saw a newly opened shopping mall from afar. It looked popular and an advertisement that read ‘Food Haven at B1’ caught her eye.
It was as though her wish had come true. Her eyes brightened and she turned to Jesse. “Jesse, let’s go for a meal.”
“Okay,” Jesse agreed as he nodded, showing her an ‘OK’ sign with his fingers.
Xin Yanting had already driven in the direction of the mall. Jesse knew that she had already chosen a location and his gaze swept over the advertisement as well.
His eyes brightened. “There’s a cinema and a skating rink too.”
Jesse pointed at another advertisement and said to Xin Yanting excitedly.
Xin Yanting glanced in the direction he was pointing and smiled. “The skating rink there is meant for kids. You definitely won’t like it. Let’s not waste our time there.”
She was dead beat. She just wanted to eat and return home, so she could have a good sleep.
Jesse’s spirit was dampened. Indeed, he wasn’t interested in a small skating rink.
He thought for a while and said, “Let’s watch a movie then.”
Xin Yanting frowned. “Energetic, aren’t you?”
Jesse smiled and replied, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The men in China like to take girls out on movie dates.”
Xin Yanting smiled. She didn’t nod or reject his request.
After all, he had traveled all the way here. She had to be a good host.
The good thing about watching a movie was that it didn’t require much energy—she just had to sit there. Besides, if she didn’t like it, she could sleep as well.
