The peeling walls revealed marks of damage.

When the two of them first entered the elevator, the lights flickered, giving the place an eerie vibe.

The atmosphere felt weird in the small space.

Qin Nanyu was known for his quiet demeanor, if he did speak, the words were rarely sweet.

Ji Weitian knew better than to start anything with him. She found a corner to stand in and stared at her toes.

If she didn’t stop throwing that shoe earlier and flung it at Qin Nanyu’s gorgeous face, where would she be now?

She did not dare to think about it now.

She was deep in her own head when a cool voice cut in.

“Have you heard of the ghost in the elevator?”

Ji Weitian: “???”

Ghost story? What ghost story? What does he want now?

She asked herself three questions; she couldn’t squeeze out a smile. With caution, she replied, “I don’t want to hear it.”

“No, you do.” Qin Nanyu interrupted her and walked closer. Seeing her flustered expression, he thought that walking her home was not without its entertainment value.

A dark smile hung on his lips, which opened slightly.

“Did you know… once upon a time, there was someone who liked to work late and to take the elevator home. One day, the minute he walked into the elevator, the lights flickered, just like now, then…”

Before he finished the story, someone covered his mouth.

Ji Weitian flew toward him, her hands held tightly over his mouth. “Don’t say anymore. I don’t want to hear it. If you have the time for ghost stories, go tell fairytales to Ruirui. You look so scary, I bet you have never told your son any bedtime stories.”

She blurted out, giving him a whole lecture.

Qin Nanyu was shocked by her admonishment. He squinted his eyes.

He actually had never told a bedtime story to his son. With his son, he’d probably have an aneurysm doing storytime.

She didn’t know anything but acted so self-righteous.

Did she really think that her made-up story of being a single mom made her a parenting expert?

Ji Weitian didn’t notice his condescension.

She looked even more condescending than him.

She carefully said, “Chairman Qin, I know you’re wealthy, that you can give your child a good life. But I hope you know that you can’t buy childhood. Time spent with one’s parents matter more than anything.”

Qin Nanyu chuckled, “You’re telling me how to be a parent? You are not a parent.”

She stuck out her chest. “Who says I’m not a parent?”

Her daughter is four-years-old, probably the same age as his son. They were both single parents, why does he think he could look down on her?

If they had to compare themselves as parents, she thought she was much better than him.

When she realized she was actually trying to educate Qin Nanyu, she pursed her lips and stopped. “Why am I telling you this? You don’t look like a responsible dad, or you wouldn’t have lost your baby mama.”

“Baby mama” seemed to have triggered Qin Nanyu. His eyes became grim.

“Ding!” The elevator signaled its arrival.

Ji Weitian didn’t wait for him. She strode out of the elevator and looked down for her key.

It was late. Was her baby already asleep?

Before she got the key, the door opened from the inside.

“Mom– ”
