Xia Enruo whispered something in his ear.

"You really have a lot of energy."

These almost flirtatious words made Gu Shaoxuan a little embarrassed.

Why is she being so naughty today?

"You're waiting to go home."

Gu Shaoxuan lowered his head and said softly.

Xia Enruo snuggled closer to him and stopped talking.

Ge Qiuqin remained silent for the entire afternoon, not uttering a single word.

The youngest daughter came over; she was hungry.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

She hugged her mother and said.

Ge Qiuqin suddenly realized that it was already very late and it was past dinnertime.

"The fourth child is hungry. It's Mom's fault for missing the meal."

She had just gotten up when Zhang Zhicheng led his younger brother home from school and pushed open the door to come in.

"Mom, why haven't you cooked yet?"

"Eldest son, Mom will make it right away. You take care of your younger brother and sister."

The fourth brother gestured to his older brother to lower his voice, indicating that he should stop asking questions.

Zhang Zhicheng led the group into the house, closed the door, and asked them a question.

"Little sister, tell me, what's wrong with Mom today?"

"Mom, I'm not happy."

The fourth child said in a childish voice.

"Unhappy? Third brother, tell me what's wrong?"

Zhang Zhicheng then asked his younger brother.

“I saw Dad on the street today, but Mom said it wasn’t him. We walked all the way here, and Mom came back like this.”

The third child was still young and couldn't express himself very clearly, but Zhang Zhicheng could sense that his mother must have seen something, otherwise she wouldn't have acted this way.

“None of you can mention this. It makes Mom feel bad. Let me talk to Aunt Xia and ask her about it.”

The three children nodded in response.
