"That's right!" Li Si chimed in, but Leng Mochen instantly sensed the insincerity in her voice.
He cast a meaningful glance at the two of them. "The company will be very busy today! Let's go another time! Kiddo, don't you have a class this morning?"
"Li Si, didn't you just say earlier that you didn't have class? What's going on?" Mrs. Leng immediately asked seriously.
Li Si smiled awkwardly. "It's not a mandatory course. And since Auntie is here, I wanted to spend some quality time with you. Plus, it's your birthday today! What? You don't want me here?"
"Oh, you cheeky thing! Then spend some time with Auntie and go explore North City together!" Mrs. Leng said knowingly with a smile. After all, she was getting old—it was clear these young folks brought such energy.
"Sure! I'll be your tour guide!" Li Si said with a bright smile. She sneaked a playful glance at Leng Mochen but quickly withdrew under his proud and piercing gaze, retreating in mock defeat.
