Mrs. Xia informed Mr. Xia that Xia Man would be returning home.
Mrs. Xia teaches high school and finishes late, while Mr. Xia has a more relaxed job and finishes work earlier. Moreover, Mr. Xia can take leave if there's nothing urgent, so Mrs. Xia asked him to return home earlier to make dinner for Xia Man.
Mr. Xia's feelings were complicated.
If his daughter were coming home alone, he would be happy to go home and cook.
But the main issue was that his daughter was bringing her boyfriend home this time, which displeased Mr. Xia.
His daughter is so young; such a small girl shouldn't be dating! She can start dating after graduating and working for a few years; there's no rush.
Regardless of his complaints, Mr. Xia took leave and went to the market to buy groceries, preparing dinner early.
Xi Jingchen and Xia Man were in a hurry, and since Xia Man didn't nap, she fell asleep on the plane, only waking up at the airport.
