Two days later, Da Bao went to pick up Nuonuo from school. As the car left the school gate, it drove in the opposite direction from home.
"Brother, where are we going?"
At work, Da Bao increasingly exhibited the decisiveness and boldness of his father. But in front of family and Nuonuo, he remained the gentle and considerate Da Bao. Typically, he would drive Nuonuo home after school unless other plans were discussed with her ahead of time, rarely making decisions for her without her input.
"Zhao Hao and Wei Qi invited us to have dinner. I've already informed Dad and Mom. If you're tired, sleep for a bit. I'll wake you when we arrive."
Nuonuo responded with an "okay" and didn't ask further. She adjusted her seat back, closed her eyes, and drifted off to chat with Zhou Gong in dreamland.
