It was nearly eight o'clock in the evening. The night was as dark as ink, and a gentle breeze seemed to caress the whole world.

A figure rode a bicycle, speeding through the night like an arrow released from a bow.

After Liu Sulan finished feeding her daughter Tangtang, the room was warm and quiet.

She gently patted Tangtang, intending to turn off the light and drift off to sleep with her child.

Just then, a soft knocking sound suddenly rang out on the window.

Liu Sulan's heart tightened suddenly, and her first thought was: Could there be a thief?

But she quickly shook her head, saying that she had lived near the school for many years and had never heard of any thefts.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, two meows came from the cat.

Liu Sulan couldn't help but smile, already having the answer in her heart. She immediately got up, tiptoed to the window, opened the whistle inside, and slowly pushed the window open.

Sure enough, that familiar face, the one she had been longing for, appeared before her eyes.

The person who came was her husband, Yu Chengyuan. He had a gentle smile on his face, which looked especially kind in the moonlight.

Yu Chengyuan resembled the figure in a TV drama who protects his lover; though he didn't speak, his eyes were full of affection.

"Wife, are you surprised? Are you overjoyed?"

Yu Chengyuan asked with a grin.

Liu Sulan was both surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but scold her, "Why didn't you use the main entrance? You scared me!"

Yu Chengyuan lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing his sleeping parents-in-law inside, and said, "It's too late, and I'm afraid that going through the front door will wake up our parents."

Now, just like when we were dating, I meow like a cat, and my wife will know he's coming as soon as she hears that sound.

Sure enough, his wife quickly realized it was him.

After saying that, he nimbly jumped into the house.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Yu Chengyuan tightly grasped Liu Sulan's hand, his eyes filled with longing, and said, "Wife, I miss you and the children. I feel so empty after not seeing you all day."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sulan felt her heart flutter like a deer's, both happy and shy, her cheeks flushing red like peach blossoms in spring.

The two sat down together and began to chat in hushed tones.

A knock came at the door shortly after. "Sulan, are you asleep?"

I think I heard someone talking.

It was his mother-in-law's voice. Yu Chengyuan quickly shut his mouth and dared not speak again.

"Mom, no one is talking. You must have misheard."

I just got Tangtang to sleep, now I'm going to sleep too.

That was probably a stray cat meowing outside.

Liu Sulan was so frightened that she kicked her husband off the bed, afraid that her mother would come in and see.

Yu Chengyuan's foot hit something hard, and he groaned in pain, but dared not make a sound.

It would be embarrassing if his mother-in-law came in and saw him.

However, he quickly cooperated with his wife and imitated a cat's meow twice, "Meow...meow..."

When Yvonne Yung heard the cat meowing outside the door, she didn't suspect anything and muttered to herself: Where did so many night cats come from?

Then she added, "Sulan, Mom's going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too."

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to sleep right away."

Liu Sulan quickly responded.

After listening for a while and hearing that there was no more sound, Liu Sulan pulled her husband up.

He quickly apologized, "Sungwon, I'm so sorry, did you hurt yourself just now?"

"I was in a moment of panic and used a bit too much force."

"It's okay, honey, I'm tough, it doesn't hurt at all."

I was so scared just now! Thank goodness Mom didn't come in. If she had come in and found out, I would have been so embarrassed.

Yu Chengyuan said in a low voice.

"What's shameful about it? Even if they find out, it won't be shameful."

But it must be so tiring for you to come so late and then ride your bike back later.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Liu Sulan thought that her husband must have something to ask her since he came over so late!

Yu Chengyuan smiled and said, "Wife, it's nothing. Didn't I just say that?"

I just miss you and the kids.

By the way, the crib we made for the child is finished, and our new bed is also finished. I'll come pick you and your child up tomorrow.

My older sister will come too. She said I'm not very good at taking care of children as a man, so she can help take care of you and the baby.

Liu Sulan smiled and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

"My dear sister, you're so kind."

Then, Liu Sulan asked with concern, "By the way, how is your brother-in-law's marriage going?"

Go investigate Hao Xiaohe, how is she doing?

Yu Chengyuan looked somewhat helpless and sighed, saying, "My brother's marriage fell through. That Hao Xiaohe isn't a good girl."

Before she got engaged to her older brother, she had an affair with a married man while working at a hair salon, and now they have a child together.

She actually thought about marrying my brother while still having a child, and even wanted my brother to raise her and that scoundrel's child. She's really dreaming.

Liu Sulan sighed upon hearing this.

Thankfully, I did investigate, otherwise my brother-in-law would have been in big trouble.

If they get married, it's a lifelong commitment, and the issues surrounding the children will be incredibly complicated.

The two chatted back and forth, immersed in the warm atmosphere, and before they knew it, almost an hour had passed.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with only their voices and deep love flowing in the air.

"Honey, I haven't kissed you in so long, can I kiss you?"

Just a kiss, and I promise I won't do anything bad.

Yu Chengyuan held his wife in his arms, but a fire was raging in his heart.

Come to think of it, it's been a really, really long time since he's last been with his wife.

Although we can't touch her yet, kissing her on the lips should be fine.

Just consider it a treat for him.

Liu Sulan nodded shyly, then tilted her head back and offered her red lips.

The two kissed for a long time before reluctantly parting.

It was almost nine o'clock when Yu Chengyuan checked the time.

Reluctantly, he got up, gently kissed Liu Sulan's forehead, and said, "Wife, it's getting late, I have to go. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Liu Sulan nodded, her eyes filled with affection, and said softly, "It's dark outside, be careful on the road."

Watching Yu Chengyuan's figure disappear into the night, Liu Sulan closed the window, returned to the bedside, and looked at the sleeping Tangtang with a happy smile on her face.

She's going home with her baby tomorrow.
