Assistant Chen had been stretched thin for a while, working as if she was two people. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore, and knowing that her situation was improving, she made a direct call here.
The only issue was her request for him to persuade Xu Jinzhi to spend just a little more time on work.
But with Sui Sui still crying in his arms, and now struggling to get away upon seeing Xu Jinzhi, Xie Yanchuan couldn't attend to Assistant Chen's request.
Xie Yanchuan also felt a bit guilty; although his intentions were good, Sui Sui's sobbing was just too pitiable. He couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far?
Sui Sui had already struggled free and then stumbled toward Xu Jinzhi.
Cradling Sui Sui, Xu Jinzhi asked gently, "Why is Sui Sui crying?"
With her arms around Xu Jinzhi's neck, Sui Sui's already feeble crying grew louder as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.
Xu Jinzhi understood none of the words Sui Sui was uttering between sobs, except for "Dad."
