"My mom also told me to return to S City. Although there's no throne to inherit at home, my parents have worked hard their whole lives and have some resources. If I go back, I wouldn't have to be so exhausted."
As Zhang Xueli spoke, she sighed, and her exhaustion was evident.
Ye Chaochao didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her, "As long as you follow your heart, that's enough. I will unconditionally support you!"
Zhang Xueli smiled, still tired but a bit relieved. "Let's wait until the end of this year to talk about it."
After dinner, Ye Chaochao purposely ordered a small cake, and they blew out the candles together before parting ways.
Just as she got in the car to go home, Ye Chaochao's phone rang. She looked at it and saw it was Ji Yanlin calling.
Ye Chaochao hesitated for a moment, then answered the call, "Hello."
"Have you finished eating?" Ji Yanlin asked.
"Yes," Ye Chaochao replied.
"Where are you staying tonight?" Ji Yanlin asked.
