Ji Pianran had originally gone to work, but she had already sat down in the office.
However, there was always a faint sense of guilt that constantly haunted her.
She then couldn't help but think that she had already promised her daughter twice before that she would take her out to play when she was free.
However, she had never managed to do so.
Later, she also promised to accompany her daughter to the kindergarten group outing today.
However, she got up early in the morning and missed the appointment again.
When thinking about the disappointed look in her daughter's big eyes when she saw her off in the morning,
Ji Pianran felt as if there were thorns growing under the chair, and no matter how she tried, she couldn't sit still.
She threw the pen in her hand aside in a state of agitation, and then stood there in a daze for a while.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stood up from her chair.
She reached out and picked up her handbag, which was sitting next to her, and got up and walked straight out of the office.
'Manager, is there anything I can help you with?'
As Ji Pianran had just left the office, the female secretary at the desk opposite hurried over to greet her.
Following her, she asked softly as they walked out of the office.
'Oh, nothing, just go and help me fill in a leave of absence report later.
Just say that I have some family matters today, and that the two meetings in the afternoon be rescheduled for tomorrow.'
Hearing this, the secretary couldn't help but look up at Ji Pianran with some concern before continuing.
'But Manager, your schedule is already full for tomorrow, and if you add two more meetings...
Won't that be too much for you?'
Ji Pianran waved his hand dismissively, and the high heels on his feet made a clicking sound on the polished marble floor.
'It's okay, it's just a little overtime. Just do as I say.'
'Yes, manager.'
The secretary nodded, while quickly stepping forward and reaching out to help Ji Bianran press the elevator button.
When Ji Bianran got closer, the elevator doors slowly opened at that moment.
The timing was impeccable.
Arriving at the underground parking garage on the first basement floor, Ji Bianran sat in a brand new high-end Mercedes-Benz.
She wondered if she should go now, at the last minute, to join the kindergarten outing.
Although it was a last-minute change of heart, her sudden appearance
might even be considered a surprise for Gu Chen and Tang Tang.
After all, it was still morning, and Tang Tang's outing would last all day.
The more Ji Pianran thought about it, the more she felt that this was a great idea.
The only drawback was that she had no idea where the outing was going to be.
But it doesn't matter, she can just ask at the kindergarten. It's no secret.
Thinking this, Ji Bianran reached out and started the car.
But the next second, her movements froze in place.
Because she realised that she didn't know where the Little Sun Kindergarten was either.
Since her daughter Tang Tang started school, she hasn't been there even once.
But such a small mishap is not going to defeat Ji Bianran.
She gritted her teeth and opened the bag she had with her and took out her phone.
She started to look through the phone book.
Although she didn't know where her daughter's kindergarten was, she could just call the teacher, right?
Unfortunately, after looking for a while, Ji Bianran threw the phone down in some frustration.
She realised that she had never saved her daughter's teacher's phone number either.
'Am I really a failure as a mother?'
Ji Pianran leaned a little weakly against the driver's seat, and she could no longer hold back her doubts about life.
She began to try to remember every detail from the past, and then she despondently realised:
Apart from knowing that her daughter was currently attending kindergarten, she knew nothing else.
She had even almost forgotten some of the information that Gu Chen had told her before.
'Do I really have to call my husband?'
Her eyes were a little lost, because she was going to give her husband and daughter a surprise.
If she called, would it still be a surprise?
More importantly, there was a voice in her head that kept echoing.
It was as if if she really made the call, she would really become an incredibly failed mother.
Ji Pianran put her hands on her head and tried her best to calm down.
She felt that there must be some details that she had overlooked, and there must be another way to solve this problem.
She gripped the steering wheel of the car with both hands, just like a well-thought-out detective.
She began to recall every word that Gu Chen had said to her after they had decided to settle in Sichuan.
After thinking hard for a long time, a thought suddenly occurred to Ji Pianran.
She slammed the steering wheel, and the car's horn sounded.
'Yes, I remember now. My husband told me before that he keeps a backup phone book in the bedroom drawer.
There is also a backup phone book, and it seems that he previously signed a contract with the kindergarten's administrative office.
But what exactly was it for?'
Ji Pianran thought for a while, but she couldn't remember, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
At the same time, a rather excited smile appeared on her face.
'Never mind, as long as the phone number of Tiantian's school is written in there.
Hmph, it's just a trivial problem like this, do you think you can trap me?
Ji Pianran was overjoyed at the moment, while thinking about how she should appear later.
So that Gu Chen and her daughter would think that this was a surprise she had prepared long ago, and not a last-minute decision.
At the same time, she drove the car to her family villa.
Unfortunately, the good plan Ji Pianran had thought of with all her might was destined to fail today.
Although she returned home early today, she couldn't compete with Gu Chen and Tang Tang, who returned even earlier.
And just as she took out the key and pushed open the door to the villa,
the first thing she saw was her daughter, who should have gone to the kindergarten group outing long ago.
At the moment, she was happily riding on Gu Chen's back, giggling non-stop.
From time to time, sounds like 'giddyup, giddyup, little horse, hurry up' would come out of her mouth.
Gu Chen was lying on the ground at this time, with a red ribbon tied to her forehead, shaking her head as she crawled forward.
She also made strange sounds like, 'ah~uh~ah~uh~'.
Ji Pianran's head was filled with a series of big question marks.
At the moment, she really wanted to say, 'Who's horse would make such a noise?
However, at this moment, Gu Chen, who had been lying on the ground shaking his head and acting as a mount for his daughter,
also seemed to feel that there seemed to be an additional gaze next to him, and he quickly subconsciously turned his head.
He saw Ji Pianran, who had also returned early, staring at himself and his daughter in disbelief.
The situation was very awkward for a while.
