"That's perfect then, our darling Tianxin is also going back to Z City tonight. Her dad and I just received a call to attend a meeting in N City tomorrow. Since you're also going back to Z City, why don't you take Tianxin with you? It'll save us a round trip." Tianxin's mom continued to smile with a benign expression on her face.
Chen Yiran blinked in surprise, his deep eyes shifting to gaze at Tianxin.
Tianxin was clearly more startled than Chen Yiran. She stood there for a while before finally responding, frowning and shouting out loud, "Mom! So you guys are just dumping me?"
"What're you talking about, child?" Tianxin's mom glared at her, then turned back to Chen Yiran with a polite smile, saying, "You, Chen, are going back to Z City anyway, so giving her a lift should not be a bother, right?"
"Hmm, not a bother." Chen Yiran continued to smile.
