Gu Luosheng sat obediently off to the side.
All she had to do was wait and let Xia Zhiyun handle what came next.
And Gu Luoxi really did... look every bit the well-behaved child.
"Mom, is there something you want to tell me?" Gu Luoxi blinked, looking at Xia Zhiyun expectantly.
Xia Zhiyun gave a casual hum. "There is something I wanted to discuss. Have you... got any plans lately?"
Gu Luoxi tilted her head and thought, then spoke with a hint of embarrassment. "I've been pretty busy lately. The company has packed my schedule, but if it's something you need, Mom, I can cancel my work commitments. Family matters are what's most important to me."

Xia Zhiyun pressed her fingers between her brows. Hearing Gu Luoxi call her "Mom" over and over was downright unbearable.

What Xia Zhiyun meant was, You can leave now.
Unfortunately... Gu Luoxi pretended not to understand.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?
