Eventually, it got too late, so we could only go back to Li Garden for dinner.
Before heading back, Chu Liyuan had already called Jin in advance to have her prepare the meal.
Just as Jian Dan stepped through the front gate of Li Garden, she was instantly surrounded by the four kids.
"Why haven't you four gone to bed yet, being up so late?"
"Of course, we were waiting for you!" The look in Jian Xiaokai's eyes was full of meaning as he stared at Jian Dan.
"Waiting for me?"
"Yeah! We were about to give up and head back to our rooms around ten, but then Grandma received a call, saying mom was coming home, so of course we had to wait."
"What's going on?"
"Have you forgotten about what we told you the morning before yesterday?"
"Really? Since we went to bed early yesterday, we didn't see mom, but today we finally did, so naturally, we won't miss this opportunity."
Jian Dan furrowed her brows, thinking for a moment, before she remembered they did talk about something that morning.
