"Xiaoqiao, I have to go out suddenly and might not be able to return for a few days." His voice carried a trace of weariness, "Just stay at home these few days, it's a good chance for mom and dad to help take care of Chengcheng."
He didn't mention leaving when he departed, now he suddenly calls to say this, clearly it was a hastily made decision.
"Okay..." Gu Nanqiao didn't ask further, "How many days will you be out?"
She knew he was busy, though he seemed idle most of the time, but at night, she often saw him having meetings and dealing with documents in his study until midnight.
Business trips were quite normal, although she was somewhat reluctant to let him go, she couldn't really prevent him.
Huo Jingting didn't respond immediately but hesitated for a while.
Eventually, he ambiguously said, "I'll try to come back early once I'm done with my tasks."
