It was a sunny autumn afternoon.
Wang Zhicheng was tending to the herbs in the garden when he received a call from overseas.
Seeing the phone number of the caller, the rake in Wang Zhicheng’s hand fell to the ground.
It’s been years since he’d received a call from the madam!
The woman’s voice was the same as before, but it hid a strong emotion. “Don’t worry, madam. Everything’s been going well for miss recently…yes, Blue Whale is treating her well, she has even made a few friends. Sir has been more attentive to her too…”
Xu Mingzhi did not want to hear about her ex-husband, “alright.”
Wang Zhicheng pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time. In an almost pleading tone, he tried again, “have you been busy recently? Will you come back to see miss? She must have missed you!”
Xu Mingzhi hesitated, “no… I’m relieved to know that she’s doing well…”
“Madam!” Wang Zhicheng still wanted to convince her, but she already hung up.
“Old Wang, don’t be silly,” Aunt Zou said, “Madam Xu is doing so well overseas. Why would she come back to see miss? If she really misses her, she would have brought her along!”
Wang Zhicheng turned to look at her and said coldly, “get lost.”
Aunt Zou froze.
Did he really think that he was Madam Xu and Su Ji’s loyal dog?
Wang Zhicheng clutched his phone. He felt terrible when he thought about how Ning Lihua and the others had been ridiculing Su Ji every day.
He knew that the truth wasn’t what Aunt Zou had said!
Madam was definitely still thinking about her daughter!
Every time she came back to China to see her, Wang Zhicheng would see her crying secretly in the car when she was leaving.
Even when she quarreled with her ex-husband, she would not cry. The only time he saw her cry was when she was leaving Su Ji.
But Wang Zhicheng really couldn’t understand. If she cared so much about her…
Why didn’t she come to see her?
Why didn’t she bring her along?

In the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday, and the Little Genius Kindergarten was welcoming its annual school anniversary performance!
As expected of an elite kindergarten in A City, it was held in a luxurious stadium.
The children sat neatly below the stage, wearing the yellow school uniform. From a distance, they looked like tiny beans.
The children who attended this kindergarten were all from rich and powerful families, so usually there were many children who were absent during the school’s events. Most of them would go overseas with their parents for the holidays.
However, everyone was present today!
Not only were all the children present, even their parents were here!
Because Su Ji and the others were performing!
At this moment, the host, who was dressed like a sunflower, was standing on the stage. Su Ji and the other two were already backstage, ready to go on stage.
As the principal was going to give a speech, they still had some time.
Su Ji still remembered the original dance that she was going to perform at Old Master Pei’s birthday party.
It was not suitable for the event at that time, but it was for the current occasion.
Pei Xi had prepared their dance costumes and the three of them wore similar outfits. The styles were slightly different, but they matched each other very well.
The outfits were white and looked very pure.
Two of them would wear short skirts, and one would wear long pants.
Su Ji wanted to pick the pair of pants, because the skirts were too short.
If she wore the skirt, it would be the same as not wearing anything.
But before she could get it, Meng Na snatched it from her.
“Su Ji! I’m allergic to dresses! I’d rather die than wear dresses!”
Su Ji looked at the short-haired Meng Na. She had never seen her in a dress before.
Pan Lian advised, “Nana really can’t wear a dress. You should leave the pants for her.”
She didn’t say that for Meng Na. She just wanted to see Su Ji in a mini-skirt!
Hence, at this moment, there was commotion backstage.
Su Ji was wearing a white mini-skirt, and her pink eye makeup outlined her beautiful eyes. Her soft lips looked like jelly, and the swelling at the corner of her mouth was almost gone.
She looked completely different from her usual cold and elegant appearance. At this moment, she looked like a pure innocent girl.
Her legs were long and slender, and her waist was so small.
“Baby!” Pan Lian drooled, “you look so good in this outfit! Is my nose bleeding?”
Su Ji flicked her hair back, “if you like it, I’ll wear it for you every day in the future~”
When Pan Lian heard the teasing tone in her voice, Su Ji’s innocent look crumbled.
“The moment you open your mouth, you’re no longer innocent.”
Meng Na put her hand under her chin and looked confused, “this dress and today’s makeup are all very soft and innocent, but why do I feel like something is off when Su Ji is wearing it…”
The two of them walked around Su Ji for a long time before Pan Lian suddenly screamed, “I know! It’s the hairstyle!”
Su Ji’s hair was usually very casual. Basically, she looked the same as she did in the morning.
However, her face was too beautiful. Not only did she not look messy, she also had a kind of effortless and charming beauty.
However, at an event like today, they should change it!
“Then, what hairstyle do you think I should change to?” Su Ji furrowed her eyebrows.
Meng Na glanced at Pan Lian, who said darkly, “based on today’s theme, it must be…double ponytails!”
“…”
But before she could refuse, Meng Na and Pan Lian pressed her down on the chair.
Pan Lian loved to study all kinds of hairstyles, and within a few minutes, they tied up two ponytails.
And looked at Su Ji in the mirror.
Amazing!
Meng Na’s eyes were wide open. She was a straight woman, but she couldn’t hold it in!
Su Ji was silent for two seconds and made a retching gesture.
She wanted to take them off, but Meng Na and Pan Lian stopped her.
“No! It’s really pretty!”
“Just pretend like you’re acting in a movie.”
“Aren’t we looking for inspiration for the theme song? You should try to immerse yourself in another role!”
“Why don’t you tie your hair into two ponytails just once? Besides, there are only children below the stage, and there are no outsiders…”
Meanwhile, Pei Huai, who knew that Su Ji would be performing today, was accompanied by Shen Mu as the Pei Xingxing’s family, walked into the venue…
