Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 912: Change Of Schedule

While Yue Ling busied herself with her subordinates at De L'amour, Grandfather Ji had dropped Ji Jingxu at school. He sat in the backseat of the white Rolls Royce and watched the boy walk through the gate entrance of the school.

When he sees the boy meet up with Zhuang Li, a faint smile curls on his lips. He remembers how the two young boys stood up for one another, and it brought him down memory lane of him and his friends.

How he misses the old times with his friends...

"Chairman."

Before his memories could trail too deep, the voice of his assistant brought him back to reality.

He didn't answer but watched as Ji Jingxu disappeared from his sight. He looks away, and a stern expression washes over him.

"Go. Time is not on my side."

Zhong Yang stares at his boss from the rearview mirror and nods his head once. There was no need to ask further questions as he knew where to go.

As the white Rolls Royces drove away from the school, Ji Jingxu stopped in front of the school doors. His head slightly tilts to the side before turning back to look in the direction he had come.

Zhuang Li noticed this and stopped in his tracks too. He turns around to look at his friend, then follows the boy's gaze.

"What is it? Did you forget something?"

Ji Jingxu lightly shook his head. However, the space between his eyebrows creases into three tight lines.

"Inu wasn't in the car."

Hearing this, Zhuang Li frowns in puzzlement. He looked at his friend and pursed his lips.

"Inu? Who's that?"

"Jie's baby."

Ji Jingxu subconsciously answers as he stares at the school gates. He was confused since Inu was staying with them and the Samoyed never left his grandfather's side.

It was as if the two were connected at the hips. However, he had only realized that the little guy was nowhere in sight.

Unaware of what was going on in Ji Jingxu's head, Zhuang Li's jaw dropped to the floor. He stares with wide eyes at his friend.

"Y-your sister has a baby? Since when?"

Ji Jingxu came to his senses when he heard the question. He rolled his eyes and wanted to say something but caught himself in time.

He turns around and continues on his way to his classroom.

"Inu is my Jie's dog. He is family and our Ji family's baby."

The words escaped his lips and he thought about his sister's unborn child. If the tragic accident didn't happen, he would have had a nephew or a niece.

As he walked towards his classroom, he concluded that Inu was left at the Ji Mansion. This is the only reason why Inu wasn't with his grandfather.

Oblivious to the things that were going on, back at Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home, the aloof man had stayed in the study room since his wife left for work.

He sat behind his desk with eyes on the monitor and fingers typing away on the keyboard. His usual stern expression was replaced with one of seriousness.

The clicking of the keyboard that echoed inside the room soon comes to a halt.

He lets out a sigh and leans back on the chair. His arms fold over his chest, and he stares at the monitor screen covered in codes.
