Zong Jinghao ignored Su Zhan’s nosiness and gave his daughter some instructions before returning to his room.
After contacting Guan Jing, Zong Yanxi proceeded to buy them flight tickets.
Even after Guan Jing boarded the plane, he didn’t know what was going on.
“Yanxi, where are we going in a rush?”
Zong Yanxi was reading the address Gu Xian sent to her earlier when she heard his query. Without looking up, she responded, “You’ll find out when we get there.”
“You’re being mysterious, aren’t you?” Guan Jing leaned back in his chair and asked, “Is it a good or bad thing?”
Zong Yanxi thought about it before answering uncertainly, “Uh, it’s good? Not entirely good, though. It might be a bad thing…”
“So? Make up your mind.” Guan Jing straightened his back. “Why are you stammering?”
“I’m not stammering. I just don’t know how to explain it to you. I think the person involved should be explaining things to you instead of me.”
There was no need for her to reveal the truth to him right now.
Guan Jing waved his hand dismissively at that. “Forget it. You got this number from your dad, so it must be something important for him to reveal this number to you.”
Zong Yanxi glanced at him as a tinge of sorrow flashed across her eyes. “Uncle Guan, is there anything you find memorable in your life?”
The man squinted his eyes as he recalled his first half of life. After a long silence, he responded, “Not really. There is something I regret, though.”
“What is it?” Zong Yanxi questioned.
Guan Jing drawled, “It’s about a woman.”
“A woman you loved?” Zong Yanxi pressed on.
The man refused to divulge further. “Stop being curious about an adult’s life.”
She pouted in response. “I’m also an adult now.”
“You’re still a kid to your parents.” Guan Jing covered himself with a blanket and announced, “I’m going to take a nap.”
At that, Zong Yanxi stopped disturbing him.
The plane soon landed. The moment they got off the plane, they saw Gu Xian waiting at the exit.
He waved lest Zong Yanxi missed him. “I’m here!”
