After everyone left, Ji En picked up Ji Aier and left the restaurant. Li Ge had already parked the car outside the restaurant waiting for him. When he saw Ji En coming out, he got out of the car and opened the door for Ji En.
Ji En carefully placed Ji Aier on the back seat and then got in himself.
Li Ge closed the door, got in the car, and the car drove quietly on the road with the light snow falling.
Ji En let Ji Aier lean against him so that she could sleep more comfortably and wouldn't vomit due to her body being curled up.
He knew that Ji Aier had never known how to play finger-guessing games or dice games. She had deliberately played dice today to liven up the atmosphere at their table. But her skills were really poor. Even when he let her win, she still lost. And she was trying to act brave. She couldn't drink but still imitated others and finished her glass every time. As he expected, after a few cups, she had already started to lose consciousness.
Although he had never deliberately done anything, wherever he appeared, the atmosphere always became very tense. It seemed that he was as terrifying as Satan.
Ji Aier slept quietly, and Ji En could feel her heartbeat. He sniffed the faint fragrance of her hair, which was the smell of the shampoo she had always used and never changed. She was such a person. Once she decided on something or someone, she would stick to it persistently.
If he hadn't hurt her so deeply before, she would still be as gentle and obedient to him as she used to be. She would stay quietly in the Ji family, not going anywhere. Every day, he would be the first to have the three meals she prepared for him and wear the clothes she picked for him. But now she had become independent and strong. Although she still had the habit of evading reality, she had learned to resist.
When they got back to the Ji family's residence, Ji En carried Ji Aier back to his room and covered her with the quilt. Then he went to his son's room to check on him. His son was already asleep. When he was about to leave, he saw a sticky note on the door, which said:
Please kiss Mommy for me and tell her I miss her.
Ji En tore off the sticky note and whispered to his sleeping son, "Your mommy will have breakfast with us tomorrow."
This morning, Ji Aier had even climbed over the wall and left without having breakfast just to go to work. And they had a dinner party in the evening, which meant Minze hadn't seen Ji Aier all day, so he missed his mommy.
Ji En returned to his bedroom. Ji Aier had actually kicked off the quilt, and more than half of the quilt was on the floor.
Ji En walked over, covered her with the quilt again, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out after the shower, he heard his phone ring with a text message. He walked over and checked the message. It was from Xiao Yu. It seemed that he had just returned to his apartment not long ago. The message said:
Sister-in-law was nice to you tonight! Keep it up! And by the way, there's an important meeting tomorrow morning.
Ji En replied in a good mood, "It's you who should keep it up!"
Because the girl Xiao Yu liked was Xin Ye from the design department, but the other party didn't know it at all. It was rare for Xiao Yu, who was usually straightforward and decisive, to stumble in love, and he was so miserable that he didn't even have the courage to confess.
After turning off his phone, Ji En lay down beside Ji Aier. This time, Ji En didn't need to do anything. Ji Aier automatically leaned towards him because on such a cold day, his body was like a heater and the best thing to keep warm.
In her dream, Ji Aier hugged her beloved pillow and slept soundly.
