Chapter 24: She Also Wants To Take Care Of Jiang Qi
On weekends, Zhi Qi went back home.
Her home was in the East District, quite a distance from the university town. Zhi Qi didn’t call the family driver to pick her up, but instead, she rented a car back early in the morning.
It was almost a two-hour journey, and it was after nine o’clock when Zhi Qi entered the door and found silence inside. As she was taking off her shoes, Mei Ran came downstairs wearing silk pajamas. The woman must have just woken up, her fluffy hair was not meticulously tied up as usual, and her eyes were sleepy.
Seeing Zhi Qi, she immediately became alert.
“Darling? When did you come back?” Mei Ran hurried downstairs to Zhi Qi, her eyes holding a hint of surprise. “Why didn’t you tell Mom, so Uncle Liu could pick you up.”
Uncle Liu was the family’s driver.
“No need, it’s troublesome,” Zhi Qi muttered, walking to the sofa and sitting down. “It’s the weekend, so I came back.”
“You still remember to come back, you ungrateful child.” Mei Ran quickly asked the housekeeper to bring over the chilled bird’s nest drink from the refrigerator, but couldn’t help but complain. “You haven’t been back for almost a month this time. Are you so busy with your studies?”
At Mei Ran’s words, Zhi Qi almost choked on the bird’s nest she was drinking. A hint of guilt flashed through her lowered eyes. Actually, this month, she wasn’t as busy with her studies as before. She had just spent this time… chasing stars.
