Hearing that Cheng Ruan had taken Miaomiao to the KTV, Wei Ziqi was a bit eager. He had never heard Miaomiao sing before.
After gathering all his friends, Wei Ziqi proposed taking Miaomiao to the KTV again. However, Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan strongly opposed it.
"What's wrong? Did something happen when you went to the KTV last time?" Wei Ziqi asked, looking a bit confused.
"No, nothing happened. It's just... it's too late today. Yes, it's too late. It's not convenient to go again. If we go now, we won't have much fun." Cheng Ruan quickly came up with an excuse.
Wei Ziqi glanced at his watch. It was only 7 p.m. How could it be too late?
"Ah, right! We haven't had dinner yet. Didn't you say we could stay at your place tonight? So we'll have dinner there too. If we go to the KTV and come back, dinner will turn into a midnight snack. If we eat first and then go, we'll probably be back in the middle of the night. This time really isn't suitable. We can go another time." Yao Mingxuan quickly added.
Wei Ziqi still felt confused and didn't know what the problem was. But what the two said made sense. It would take a long time to go back and forth. It would be better to go tomorrow.
"Let's go tomorrow then. We have plenty of time during the holiday anyway."
Wei Ziqi nodded slightly in agreement. Hearing that they would go tomorrow, Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan looked utterly desperate.
"Places like that aren't for kids like us. Once is enough for an experience. Maybe we should wait until we're older." Yao Mingxuan still tried to struggle.
Wei Ziqi frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "You're not afraid I'll scold you, are you?"
"No, of course not. Lao Wei, you're so nice. You definitely won't scold us."
"Judging from your reactions, I can tell. You even secretly took Miaomiao there last time and deliberately didn't take me. Although I'm a bit serious, I'm not a complete old - fashioned person. We shouldn't go to strange places randomly, but this is a place opened by your family. It's okay to go and see the world. You don't have to avoid me like this. I haven't been there either. Let's go tomorrow."
Well, it seemed they couldn't avoid it.
Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan nodded listlessly, agreeing to the plan.
Knowing that Miaomiao would go to Wei Ziqi's home to play today, Lin Yao specifically gave Wei Ziqi's mother a day off.
Normally, Lin Yao didn't give special privileges to Wei Ziqi's mother in the company. And Mrs. Wei never took advantage of the relationship between her son and Miaomiao for her own benefit. Moreover, she was very motivated and eager to learn. A few years ago, she made a name for herself in the logistics department. Then Lin Yao gave her a chance to study. Mrs. Wei didn't disappoint. She studied day and night. She also did very well in the most profitable sales department. Later, because of her strong ability and good character, she was transferred to the president's assistant department and had become a top - level employee in the company.
Mrs. Wei had suffered because of her lack of education before. She didn't have the opportunity to study. Now that Lin Yao had given her this chance, Mrs. Wei, with her perseverance, seized this hard - won opportunity and strived to climb higher.
With a mother like this, Wei Ziqi couldn't be bad either. This was why Lin Yao was relieved to let Miaomiao play with Wei Ziqi all the time and even didn't object when Miaomiao stayed overnight at his home.
It was the first time for these little friends to visit Wei Ziqi's home. Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan were full of excitement. They were all from wealthy families and had never experienced the life of an ordinary family living in a small house and eating ordinary meals. This novel experience made them feel really fresh.
It was common sense even to Miaomiao that one shouldn't visit a friend's home empty - handed. Wei Ziqi knew this was a matter of etiquette, so he didn't stop the little friends when they went to choose gifts.
None of the three little friends was short of money. The gifts they bought were very expensive. All Wei Ziqi could do was shake his head and sigh in helplessness.
Finally, the little friends carried big and small bags to Wei Ziqi's home. Over the years, with the hard work of the mother and son, their life had become quite prosperous. They had long since moved out of the former chaotic alley and into a high - end apartment.
The three - bedroom house was just big enough for the little friends to stay. Wei Ziqi and Yao Mingxuan would share a room, while Miaomiao and Cheng Ruan would stay in the guest room.
As soon as they arrived at Wei Ziqi's home, the first thing Miaomiao did was rush to Wei Ziqi's room.
The three little friends were extremely curious. They really wanted to see what Wei Ziqi, who was always strict with himself, was like at home.
When they opened the door, they saw a neatly arranged room. There was a wooden desk, which looked quite simple. There was a pen holder and a laptop on the desk. Above the desk was a wall - mounted bookshelf filled with all kinds of reading materials. Besides study materials, there were also many magazines and even novels.
On the right side of the desk was a transparent floor - to - ceiling cabinet filled with certificates and trophies, all of which were Wei Ziqi's achievements over the years.
The excellent top - student didn't even need to display his certificates neatly. They were just piled up casually. First - place certificates at the provincial and municipal levels were everywhere, and some were even at the national level.
"My god! If I hadn't seen so many trophies and certificates today, I wouldn't have realized you had participated in so many competitions and won so many awards."
Yao Mingxuan stared at the cabinet in astonishment. If he could bring these back home, his parents would be overjoyed and would immediately agree to let him go to study in the imperial capital and join Miaomiao.
But unfortunately, he didn't have such a high IQ. He could only focus on taking over the family business.
"Lao Wei, I didn't expect you to read novels. Isn't this the romance novel I read??!!" Cheng Ruan exclaimed, immediately noticing the novel "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me" sandwiched on the bookshelf.
"I flipped through it a few times. When I was short of money before, I thought about writing novels to make money. You girls like these and are willing to spend money on them. But later, my mother's salary got higher and higher, and I didn't need to find part - time jobs to make money anymore."
Wei Ziqi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles was a good thing. He liked reading and would read at any time. Since a book could be published, it must have its value.
Miaomiao, who had been silent since entering the door, didn't pay attention to the cabinet or the bookshelf at all. Instead, she walked directly to the desk and opened the drawer.
Actually, Miaomiao's original intention was to find something to eat. Mrs. Wei still needed some time to cook, but her stomach was already growling. Usually, she kept her snacks in the drawer of her desk. Wei Ziqi knew this, so Miaomiao subconsciously thought Wei Ziqi had the same habit.
"Don't open it!"
Seeing Miaomiao's action, Wei Ziqi's pupils dilated. He took a couple of quick steps and tried to stop her, but it was too late.
