Chapter 428: Escape from Home

"What, there's nothing!"

The little girl was so surprised that she jumped up, almost falling off the couch.

But why? She hadn't heard any sound at all. When she pushed the door to enter, shouldn't there have been the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and turned? But just now she didn't hear anything, her mother seemed to float in like a ghost.

Never underestimate the vigilance of children. Most of them, at some point during their growth, have sneaked off to watch TV when they were supposed to be doing homework while their parents were not at home, right? Kids always have secrets they want to keep from the adults, and without enough caution, they would have been caught long ago.

Anyway, as soon as Zhu Qingyue heard her mother's voice, her subconscious reaction was to quickly put down the handset and look behind her, seeing her mother approaching with a plastic bag.

"...Mom—"

Zhu Qingyue was about to say something when the woman walked past her without glancing at her.
