The night was getting quiet while a vast sea of stars filled the sky.

Maple Residence was getting quiet as it was shrouded in a gentle light.

Wang Hui went back to the Mu Residence after dinner. Because Mu Yinan had caught a cold, she was worried and wanted to take a look at him.

The two maternity matrons went to sleep after a day of work as well, but Xi Xiaye was still thinking about work. She went to the study room to do some work from Fuhua after she put her sons to sleep. When she glanced at the clock, she noticed it was already almost 10 p.m.

He was not home yet.

Xi Xiaye frowned. He had been coming home late recently because he had a lot of events to attend at night even though he was sick.

"Mother, are you not going to sleep?" Mu Zirui rubbed his eyes as he stood by the door.

"Xiao Rui? Why are you still awake? Didn't Aunt Wang put you to sleep?" Xi Xiaye extended her arms to him and signaled for him to come over.

Mu Zirui walked over quickly. "I woke up to get a drink, then I saw that your room lights were still on. Is Brother asleep?"

"Yeap, he's asleep. Let me get you some water. Sit here." Xi Xiaye smiled and patted Mu Zirui's head before going to fetch him a glass of water.

"Thank you, Mother! Mother, is Father not home yet?" Mu Zirui drank half the glass, then he curled up on the sofa beside Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and picked up her phone on the table. "Your father's company has been very busy lately. Here, help me call your father and ask him when is he coming back. Also, ask him if he drank." She punched Mu Yuchen's number in and handed the phone to Mu Zirui.

"Oh! Okay!" Mu Zirui grabbed the phone and put it beside his ears. Mu Yuchen then picked up the call.

"Xiaye?" His voice sounded a little hoarse.

He got a childish sounding reply instead. "Father!"

"Xiao Rui?"

"Father, Mother is asking when will you be back, and if you drank tonight," Mu Zirui grabbed the pillow beside him as he asked.

"Where's Mother? Hand her the phone."

"Oh." Mu Zirui turned towards Xi Xiaye. "Mother, Father said..."

However, before Mu Zirui could finish his sentence, Xi Xiaye was already walking into the bedroom. "Tell him if he drank and isn't coming back anytime soon, he's sleeping on the sofa tonight!" Her slender figure then disappeared into the bedroom.

"Oh! Okay, Mother!" Mu Zirui replied to his mother before talking on the phone again, "Father, Mother said if you drank and you're not home within half an hour, you'll be sleeping on the sofa. She's taking a shower now!"

Mu Zirui had not been going to kindergarten in the past few days and stayed in Maple Residence for the past week, so he noticed his mother's habits. She would always take half an hour to shower. She would also be unhappy if she did not see his father by the time she was done showering.

Mu Yuchen frowned as he put on an awkward smile when the call was cut off. He shook his head helplessly.

He could not do anything even if he slept on the bed as well! Every night, he had to sleep in the study room after she fell asleep!

What a nightmare!

It was almost 11 p.m. when he arrived home. He noticed that the lights in the study room were still on, so he took a peek inside and saw her sleeping on the table.
