Chapter 305: Can't Raise a Storm

When they went down from the building, Ji Suyun's eye sockets were clearly red, and Fu Sijue, being very considerate, didn't ask anything.

"Shen Shu just called; something seems to have happened again over in Haicheng, so we should hurry back."

Ji Suyun, who had just steadied herself from grief, paused.

"Can't Shen Shu handle it?"

Before they left, they had specifically told Shen Shu that unless it was an especially urgent matter, there was no need to contact Fu Sijue.

Lu Xiwán was worried; Ji Suyun's emotions were unstable, and after learning the Ji Family's story, she couldn't feel comfortable just leaving Ji Suyun behind.

"It seems we can't."

Fu Sijue thought for a moment before answering, and Lu Xiwán clearly sensed Ji Suyun's mood dip for an instant.

But she recovered quickly.

Ji Suyun smiled at them, "If you have urgent business, leave right away; you can visit me whenever, don't let me hold up your affairs."

She skillfully concealed her inner disappointment, and Lu Xiwán pulled Fu Sijue outside to discuss.

"Aunt Ji wants us to stay here with her for a while, is that not allowed?"

Even just a few days wouldn't make her that despondent.

Fu Sijue: "Shen Shu is pressing hard; it was hard to explain over the phone. How about we take Aunt Ji back with us?"

"The Ji Family has plenty of affairs in the Imperial Capital, and there's no one to share Aunt Ji's burden."

No matter what happens, Ji Suyun would have to decide alone, and sending her to Haicheng is too risky.

Realizing there was nothing else she could do, Lu Xiwán sighed helplessly and formulated an answer in her mind.

When they went inside, Ji Suyun was already gone.

The Steward thoughtfully explained, "Miss said you were leaving, so she personally prepared a farewell meal for you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiwán felt conflicted.

They had originally agreed to stay a few more days in the Imperial Capital, but now it was a sudden reversal; Ji Suyun must feel deeply upset.

At mealtime, Xi Xi and Yao Yao were groggily summoned, then learned they had to return to Haicheng immediately, and they snapped awake.

"Didn't we agree to stay a few days?"

"What on earth is happening?"

Facing their questions, Lu Xiwán explained helplessly.

Lu Xixi carefully hugged Ji Suyun.

"Will Xi Xi miss Aunt?" Ji Suyun said with a smile in her eyes, holding Lu Xixi reluctantly.

What she said before was true.

She truly wanted to keep both children by her side.

But after seeing Fu Sijue's icy expression, Ji Suyun withdrew her thought.

Lu Xixi, counting on her fingers seriously, said, "From Monday to Friday I'll miss Aunt Ji."

Ji Suyun was very surprised and poked her chubby little face with her hand.

"Saturday and Sunday I won't miss?"

Xi Xi again nodded solemnly, her voice bright as she replied to Ji Suyun, "Saturday and Sunday are statutory holidays, Xi Xi also needs to rest!"

Now even the stern Steward standing nearby laughed.

Lu Xixi is a real happy‑go‑lucky; wherever she goes she can make them laugh.

Ji Suyun pretended to be hurt, "But if Xi Xi doesn't miss me, I'll be very sad."

Lu Xixi's eyes flickered, and she quickly thought of a good idea.

She pulled Yao Yao, who was sitting beside Lu Xiwán, down and forced him in front of Ji Suyun.

"When I'm resting, Brother Yao Yao can think of Aunt for me!"

Yao Yao: …

Can he even refuse?
