Next morning, after Gu Ningyue and Ji Qianqian had breakfast, Lu Qingqing called, saying she would come by around five in the afternoon to take Ji Qianqian back.
Ling Tianyou hung up the phone. At first, Ji Qianqian was all smiles, then she looked at Gu Ningyue with a hint of sadness.
Gu Ningyue noticed this and asked, "Qianqian, what's wrong? You're going home soon, aren't you happy?"
Ji Qianqian blinked her bright, watery eyes, the bright red mole under the sunlight seemed particularly alluring: "I can't bear to leave Sister. Can Sister come home with Qianqian?"
Gu Ningyue said, "No way! Uncle doesn't agree; why don't you ask Uncle?"
Ling Tianyou paused as he was putting on his suit jacket, "Can we talk without blaming?"
Gu Ningyue laughed, "Are you leaving?"
Ling Tianyou nodded, "I haven't been to the company much lately; there's a lot going on at work."
Gu Ningyue said, "Will you be back for lunch? If not, I'll take Qianqian out to eat."
