Fu Yisi, as usual, washed up and then returned to his study to work, as if the words he had just spoken were merely Ji Sang's misperception.
It left her alone, feeling an itch in her heart.
At ten o'clock, their usual bedtime, Fu Yisi was still not back from the study.
Ji Sang was also wide awake because of Fu Yisi's words, her thoughts like a tangled ball of yarn that had been sitting for a long time, unclear and unable to be unraveled at the moment.
Just as she was about to go to the study and ask for a clear explanation, Ji Sang received a call from Mr. and Mrs. Ji in Singapore.
If Ji Sang had a bit of childish pride in the private room earlier for having rendered Qin Wen speechless with a single sentence, now she truly behaved like a child.
She could let down all her defenses and laugh freely in front of her parents.
