Hearing the seriousness in Chi Mingwei’s tone, Chi Jiao said softly, “I went to have dinner with my classmate last night. It snowed after dinner, so I slept at my classmate’s place. I told our butler at home beforehand.”
Chi Mingwei was usually quite busy. He had specially instructed Chi Jiao to look for Butler Zhou if she couldn’t contact him for anything.
Chi Jiao did call Chi Mingwei last night, but his phone was switched off.
“The driver who brought you home has already reached the entrance of your school. Come back quickly. Daddy will be waiting for you at home.” Chi Mingwei’s tone softened after hearing her explanation.
Chi Jiao gave a faint sound of acknowledgment.
After hanging up, she thought for a moment before texting Quan Jue.
Quan Jue didn’t have WeChat. She asked him to register for one, but she wondered if that person listened to her.
“Brother Quan, I have to go home first. See you tomorrow.”
After sending the message, Quan Jue responded instantly.
Chi Jiao had especially read some books previously and researched on the study of romance.
Not being overly clingy to the other party was one of the rules.
Distance created beauty. She should give Brother Quan more space.
This study of love was even more profound than her experiments.
…
It was rare for Chi Mingwei to have dinner at home. Zhu Limin cooked for him personally and even called Chi Yan to come back for dinner.
“Mom, I’m with Yunhan,” Chi Yan said.
Standing in the bright kitchen, Zhu Limin glanced at the maid beside her, before saying in a low voice, “Then bring Yunhan over for dinner.”
“Is Chi Jiao not home?” Chi Yan asked.
“So what if she’s home or not?” Zhu Limin’s tone was filled with nonchalant mockery. “You can just bring Yunhan back.”
It was because Chi Jiao was home tonight that she hoped Chi Yan would bring Lan Yunhan along.
She wanted to let Chi Jiao see who had a higher status in the family.
Chi Yan immediately understood what she meant and smiled sweetly. “I understand.”
With that, she hung up the phone and looked at the man sitting in his office chair.
Lan Yunhan was currently reading some documents with his head lowered. He was dressed in a dark blue suit, which made his skin look even fairer. His serious expression at this moment looked very charming.
Chi Yan’s heart softened. She smiled and said, “Yunhan, my mom asked us to go home for dinner.”
Lan Yunhan looked up and placed the documents on the table. “I haven’t visited Uncle and Auntie in a long time, either. Let’s go now and choose a gift for them first.”
Chi Yan liked his meticulousness. Her smile became even more brilliant and charming.
The two of them walked out of the company building arm in arm. Chi Yan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to him, “Oh, right. Jiaojiao will be home tonight as well. If you go back with me, will it make her unhappy?”
Lan Yunhan glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Seeing her worried frown, he sighed helplessly. “Yanyan, sometimes you should learn to think for yourself and not think too much for others. You can’t force things like feelings. There’s no fate between us. This has nothing to do with you.”
Chi Yan lowered her eyes to hide the glint that flashed past them, keeping a worried look on her face. “How is it not related to me? She’s my younger sister, I can’t not care about her. If she really likes you, then I…”
“There are no ifs,” Lan Yunhan said resolutely and decisively. He looked at her with an indestructible gaze. “Yanyan, feelings need to be consensual. I don’t care what she thinks. I only want you.”
