Unfortunately, Ning Xixi with her head bowed didn't witness this scene.
By the time she looked up, Ji's mother had already switched to her usual warm and amiable smile, "Xixi, Yemo fell ill, and the company is a bit busy, so Yebai went to handle it. It's also a good opportunity for him to hone his skills."
"Is that so..."
Ning Xixi understood that in a major family like the Ji Family, the expectations for the heir were very high. On the surface, they were the favored children of heaven, enjoying a life beyond the reach of ordinary people. But in reality, the burden they carried was often much heavier than that of many others.
"Oh, don't be upset." Ji's mother pinched her cheek, "Hmm... Recently, Yebai has been well-cared for; he feels great to the touch~"
"Auntie, stop teasing me..." Ning Xixi said shyly.
