"Of course, I wanted to surprise you!" Da Bao patted her head, started the car, and drove away.
A few minutes later, the car turned in the opposite direction of their home.
"Brother, aren't we going home?"
"Didn't you finish all your exams today? I'm taking you out for fun!" Da Bao said earnestly.
"But... Mommy said she'd make dinner and wait for me at home!" Nuonuo was torn, wanting to spend quality time with Da Bao but not wanting to ruin Mommy's plans.
"I've talked to Mommy; she's also having her own quality time with Daddy tonight, so don't worry about them." Da Bao understood the little girl's hesitation perfectly.
Nuonuo showed a relieved expression, bent down, and rummaged for snacks in the glove compartment.
"How did your exams go? Alright?" Da Bao glanced at the little girl munching on chips, his face showing a helpless yet doting smile.
"Well, probably good. I'm not sure about math, but I think I'll get excellent grades in the other subjects."
