It was very late, but Bai Erya was still awake, waiting anxiously.
At the slightest sound from outside, she would immediately rush to the window and look out.
But each time, she was met with disappointment.
Seeing this, Wu Mengchan couldn't help but console her. "Sister Erya, don't worry. Uncle Bai's business was probably just booming, that's why he's delayed. I'm sure he'll be back in a little while."
Bai Erya felt a little more at ease upon hearing this, but her face remained full of worry. "Mm, I'm not worried... but it's so late. He should be back by now."
It was already the early hours of the morning. In the past, no matter how good business was, he would have been home long before now.
But now there was still no word from him, so of course, Bai Erya was frantic.
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, seeing that her father still hadn't returned, Bai Erya finally couldn't wait any longer. She threw on a padded jacket and headed out the door.
