The sight made Ji Yao blush slightly, and she cleared her throat softly.
"Thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know when I could find suitable domestic help. After I move abroad, I'm afraid I'll need you to help with many things, especially concerning my mother."
Qi Huai'an took a sip of his drink.
"Don't worry, your mother is like my own, and your child is like my own flesh and blood. There's nothing to worry about. Don't fret over it too much. You just focus on making strides abroad, and I'll take good care of Mom."
Ji Yao felt a bit embarrassed by his stream of words but still nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, and I really appreciate it. Rest assured, as soon as I return to the country, I will repay you. I won't let you help for nothing."
"Repay?" Something about that word seemed to touch Qi Huai'an, and he muttered it under his breath as he looked down.
