After their bath, Su Yijia was utterly exhausted. Thankfully, her grandparents were early sleepers, heading to bed before 10 p.m. So, when Qin Kaize carried her through the living room, there was no embarrassment.
However, just as they settled into bed, someone called out for Qin Kaize from outside the courtyard.
Su Yijia, who had been ready to drift off to sleep, immediately opened her eyes. She tried to get up, but Qin Kaize gently restrained her. "It's late. You should rest. I'll go check it out."
But Su Yijia was insistent on going with him. "That's precisely why I need to come with you." She grabbed a shirt from the side and looked at him firmly.
Since Qin Kaize hadn't returned to the team yet, it couldn't be work-related. Given the urgency of the call, it must be something involving Uncle Xia.
"Fine, change your clothes. I'll find out what's going on," Qin Kaize conceded, not wanting her to go out in such light clothing or worry alone at home.
