Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Father-Daughter Pact

Xu Ya was surprised to see Yun Shifei return so early. "Weren’t you supposed to go with Sisi to the basketball game?"

"A classmate said he wanted to watch it, so I gave him the tickets," Yun Shifei replied.

"How could you do that? Your sister will be upset when she finds out you didn’t go. Don’t do this again in the future," Xu Ya frowned, clearly disapproving of Yun Shifei’s behavior.

"Okay," Yun Shifei responded, lowering her gaze, looking very obedient.

Xu Ya didn’t dwell on it and said to Yun Shifei, "Wait for Sisi to come back before eating dinner."

"Alright, I’ll go upstairs and do my homework first," she replied, still calm and compliant.

In the past, if Yun Sisi came home earlier than Yun Shifei, Xu Ya would eat with Yun Sisi first. But when Yun Shifei arrived first, they would wait for Yun Sisi.

This kind of unfairness, even though Xu Ya treated her much better now than before, still existed in the small details.

Yun Shifei went back to her room, spread out her textbooks, and started working on her homework slowly.

English and Chinese were her best subjects. As for the others, especially science, they made her want to fall asleep just looking at them.

Among the liberal arts subjects, geography also gave her headaches.

Ugh... Hopefully, I can keep up with private tutoring later.

She frowned as she worked on the problems, barely completing her math homework, when she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Turning around, she saw Yun Tiancheng standing in the doorway.

"Shifei, doing your homework?"

Yun Shifei nodded.

"Look what Dad bought for you," Yun Tiancheng said as he took out an exquisite box from his briefcase.

Yun Shifei opened it, and it was a whole box of chocolates!

The colorful packaging lay neatly in the box, looking exceptionally elegant.

Her eyes lit up, a little surprised. "For me?"

"Yeah," Yun Tiancheng said gently, patting Yun Shifei’s head. "I saw it in the store today. I couldn’t tell what brand it was, but it looked quite unique. Try it."
