Checking One's Mind

Upon learning that Grandma Gong could still accompany them for a while longer, much of the sadness dissipated.

Zhouzhou was also delighted, anticipating the sweet taste of the cake soon to be savored, her eyes squinting with joy.

Grandma Qin chuckled at her, shaking her head helplessly, while Grandpa Qin indulgently watched his granddaughter. After a while, Grandma Qin spoke, "Then we'll be on our way."

"Not staying a bit longer?" Gong Sheng reluctantly glanced at them, saying, "We haven't properly thanked you yet. How about I treat you to a meal?"

Before they could respond, Zhouzhou waved her hand, "No need, no need. I have to go to school."

She had paid the tuition fee, after all. Skipping a class would be a waste of money, her father's hard-earned money, to be exact.

Hearing the little girl's earnest words, a smile flickered in Qin Lie's eyes, and Ye Lingfeng, rubbing his chin, nodded approvingly at Zhouzhou. She was indeed doting on him; he was truly her beloved father.
