Seeing her put down her chopsticks, He Jingyao's gaze dimmed: "Zhixi, what's wrong?"
She bit her lip and looked at Gu Bingjun: "Dad... are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Bingjun was feeding Xiaobao spring rolls. He paused upon hearing this, looked up at her, and smiled: "What are you talking about? What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
Zhixi nodded absentmindedly, then looked at He Jingyao again.
He Jingyao smiled and rubbed her head, saying: "Don't overthink it. I think your dad just feels lonely by himself."
Zhixi finally gave a shy smile, bowed her head, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating.
After dinner, Gu Bingjun held Xiaobao on his lap and continued discussing the economic situation with He Jingyao, who was very cooperative.
Although Zhixi couldn't fully understand, she listened very attentively.
As time was almost up, Gu Bingjun stopped talking, took a sip of water, looked at Zhixi, and said, "Isn't it time for you to rest?"
