It was hard to imagine a four or five-year-old child having such a cold temperament. Qiao Zhan couldn't help but wonder if someone had irked her by eating her ice cream or something.
“Hello. You are?” he asked, preventing the pretty woman from entering.
The beauty replied, “I'm Lu Jingyuan, the owner of the inn.”
That's the name of the inn's owner, all right. However, Qiao Zhan still refused her entry. “Sorry, you can't come in.”
“Why not?”
“When we rented the building, we made it clear that no one is allowed to enter, not even you. You may be the owner of the inn, but before our time here is up, you can't stay here. It's written clearly in our contract. Feel free to take a look at it again to refresh your memory.”
“Is there really a clause like that on the contract? A staff member showed it to me back then, but I didn't pay attention,” responded the woman.
“Yes,” Qiao Zhan replied firmly.
“Very well.” The woman promptly turned around and left.
Her reaction confused Qiao Zhan. “Wait. Just like that? You're leaving?”
She turned her head back. “Didn't you say you won't let me in?”
“Oh, uh, there's a girl here saying she's your daughter.”
“Yes.”
“You're not taking her with you?”
“Where is she?”
When Qiao Zhan twirled around, he noticed that the girl from before was already gone. “She was still here just a moment ago.”
