Chi Baiyi seemed to be deep in thought.

Nowadays, people almost never communicate via text message, so it's possible that Zhao Lan didn't see it.

“Let’s try calling her again,” Chi Baiyi said.

Chi Cheese nodded in satisfaction.

Chi Baiyi dialed Zhao Lan's number again.

The phone rang a few times before being disconnected.

Chi Baiyi looked at Chi Naoqi.

Chi Nao said somewhat angrily, "Why doesn't Sister Zhao Lan want to see us? We're not bad people."

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao shared the same doubts.

Zhao Lan's reluctance to see them was so strong that it was somewhat incomprehensible.

Maybe kids these days are just too individualistic.

Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao thought so, but Chi Naozi didn't think so.

The more Zhao Lan refused to see her, the more suspicious she found Zhao Lan.

Ten years later, the yellow mask with a red dot between its brows that appeared in the fire is now in Zhao Lan's hands. But she has absolutely no desire to see them.

Isn't she suspicious?

"Dad, can we stay here for one night and try again tomorrow?" Chi Nao looked at Chi Baiyi expectantly.

Chi Baiyi stared at her intently for a few seconds, his eyes deep, and then agreed, "Okay."

Chi Cheese smiled happily.

She glanced at Qin Yuanyao, then at Chi Baiyi, signaling her father to quickly ask her mother if she wanted to live with them too!

Chi Baiyi "..."

Chi Baiyi remained silent for a few seconds before asking Qin Yuanyao.

"Are you going back together tomorrow?"

Qin Yuanyao actually wanted to take the high-speed train back to the city by herself tonight.

She's useless here, so there seems to be no need for her to stay.

Before she could even speak, Chi Nao was already looking at her expectantly.

"Sister Qin, why don't you stay with us too? We can go back together tomorrow!"

"I……"

Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to suggest that she wouldn't stay, Chi Naoqi continued, "Tomorrow, can you help me persuade Sister Zhao Lan? I really want to see that mask!"

Unable to resist the little dumpling's soft and adorable pleas, Qin Yuanyao softened and agreed.

Waaaaah, who can resist the adorable plea of ​​a human baby?

So they drove to the nearest five-star hotel.

Chi Baiyi requested a presidential suite.

Qin Yuanyao thought to herself, "Rich people are really different. They just ask for the most expensive suite." Then she said to the front desk, "I want a standard room."

Chi Baiyi glanced at her, puzzled. "You don't need to book another room."

Qin Yuanyao's eyes widened in surprise.

ha?

What does that mean?

She doesn't need to book a room; does she mean she should stay in the presidential suite with them?

Is it appropriate for her to stay in the presidential suite with them?

“The suite has three rooms, and they are all some distance apart,” Chi Baiyi explained.

Qin Yuanyao breathed a sigh of relief.

So that's how it is.

In other words, although they share a presidential suite, they can actually avoid disturbing each other and enjoy a high degree of privacy.

Then she really doesn't need to book an extra room, which saves her some money.

Qin Yuanyao readily accepted.

After checking in, as she took the elevator upstairs, Chi Nao suddenly thought to herself.

"Dad, I didn't bring any pajamas. What am I going to wear to bed tonight?"

After Chi Nao's reminder, Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao both thought of this problem at the same time.

They didn't bring any change of clothes.

Even if their clothes can be sent to the hotel for dry cleaning later, what will they wear after the clothes are sent for dry cleaning?

There was another moment of silence in the elevator.

Qin Yuanyao said, "There should be a shopping mall nearby. It's 9:40 now, and the mall closes around 10:00. We should be able to make it to the mall to buy pajamas for Cheese, right?" She added, "And I'll buy myself a change of clothes while I'm at it."

Chi Baiyi originally wanted to leave this matter to her bodyguard.

Hearing Qin Yuanyao say that, he obediently replied, "There's still time."

So they pressed the elevator button on the first floor again and took a car to the nearest shopping mall.

This is just an ordinary shopping mall; there are no luxury brands.

They went to the children's clothing section first.

Seeing the dazzling array of beautiful and adorable children's clothes, Qin Yuanyao felt her heart soften.

"Sister Qin, can you help me pick out some clothes?" Chi Nao said to Qin Yuanyao with a smile.

Qin Yuanyao was now in a dilemma.

She felt that this set was suitable for Chi Cheese, that set was suitable for Chi Cheese, and that set was suitable for Chi Cheese.

In the limited time available, she picked out seven or eight outfits, so many that she couldn't carry them all in both hands.

"I think these outfits are all pretty good. Which one do you like?" Qin Yuanyao showed the clothes she had picked out to Chi Naozhi.

Chi Nao tilted her head and made her choice, "I also think they're all beautiful. Sister Qin has such good taste!"

"Then we'll take them all." Chi Baiyi's words resolved the dilemma between the two women.

Chi Cheese "..."

Qin Yuanyao "..."

Chi Nao smiled and showered him with compliments, "Daddy, you're the best! You love me the most!"

Chi Baiyi "..."

Unmoved.

After taking care of Chi Nao's clothes, Qin Yuanyao originally wanted to go buy her own, but because Chi Nao insisted on going with her, Chi Baiyi had no choice but to follow.

However, when they arrived at the store, Chi Baiyi waited outside while Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao went inside to pick out clothes.

"Sister Qin, you picked out the clothes for me earlier, let me pick them out for you this time," Chi Nao said.

"Okay!" Qin Yuanyao replied.

However, she regretted it the next second.

Chi Nai pointed to a red satin slip dress and said to her, "I think this one is quite pretty."
