He walked while taking off his suit jacket and undoing his cufflinks, a slight furrow appearing between his brows, seemingly impatient.
“Young Master, your report just now was fantastic; several top media outlets have already covered your speech,” said Mr. Li as he took his jacket, smiling.
“Boring,” He Jingyao uttered, his thin lips parting slightly.
Mr. Li reassured, “I know you’re impatient with attending such summits, but there’s only one more day left tomorrow; please bear with it a little longer.”
He Jingyao let out a breath and started undoing the button at his collar: “How are things back home?”
“Don’t worry, everything is normal,” said Mr. Li.
...
“Normal?” He Jingyao gave him a cold glance.
Mr. Li, perhaps knowing what he wanted to ask, smiled slightly and said, “The Young Mistress attends classes or self-study at school every day; all is well, don’t worry.”
All is well... how ‘all is well’ indeed!
“Book the flight first,” He Jingyao looked at him discontentedly, “Mr. Li, you’re truly becoming less competent at handling things!”

Su Zixi got up, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and as usual, went to the library for self-study. But after half an hour, her phone rang.
Su Zixi took it out only to see an unfamiliar number.
Her heartbeat quickened suddenly, she couldn’t help thinking it might be He Jingyao... So without hesitation, she walked out of the library and answered the call with a “Hello.”
“Zhixi,” however, the voice on the other end was both familiar and foreign, “You’re in Yanzhou City, aren’t you?”
Su Zixi was startled and after a few seconds tentatively asked, “Su Guo’an?”
“I’m your father!” Su Guo’an instantly became angry.
“Oh, I remember that I have already dissolved our father-daughter relationship on the household registration,” Su Zixi said coldly, “Mr. Su, may I ask why you are calling?”
“You...” Su Guo’an was very angry, but recalling Su Zixi’s current status, he had to restrain himself, “Your sister is getting married today, it’s very lively. Are you coming? Lianxi said the Ning Family also sent an invitation to the He Family.”
