Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were never required to be on night duty. Normally, Lixia and Liqiu would have already retired to their rooms for a break at this hour.

The two maids exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Just go, I’ll wait for my husband.”

Her tone dripped with disdain.

With nothing to discuss or attend to in Shao Yunduan’s absence, what was the point of staying there?

Lixia and Liqiu smiled and departed.

As the night wore on, Qiao Xuan sat quietly under the soft glow of the light, eagerly awaiting Shao Yunduan’s return and the future they envisioned together.

That was the sight that greeted Shao Yunduan as he pushed open the door.

In the dim, yellow light, there sat a woman radiating grace and tenderness.

She turned at the sound of his entrance, an immediate smile gracing her face. Her pale complexion seemed to glow, and her eyes sparkled with brightness.

She rose to her feet, her waist slender and her eyes shimmering. Like a peony blossoming under the moon, she exuded elegance.

Shao Yunduan stood awestruck by the scene before him.

“Darling!” Shao Yunduan’s heart melted, and he rushed forward, stumbling slightly.

Having consumed a fair amount of alcohol to ensure his father-in-law got drunk, he was now feeling a bit intoxicated.

Qiao Xuan’s spirits lifted upon seeing him finally return.

She had not been mistaken about him!

But upon closer inspection, this man appeared far from normal—tongue-tied and stumbling. He resembled a man under the influence.

Qiao Xuan greeted him and assisted him in getting up, immediately detecting the strong scent of alcohol, which she didn’t particularly appreciate. Nevertheless, a surge of happiness filled her heart. Guiding him to a seat, she asked, “How much have you had to drink? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No, I’m fine!” Shao Yunduan replied, seated on the couch and leaning against her. He smiled and said, “Officer Qiao drank even more!”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh and sigh simultaneously. “Let’s not talk about him. I’ll get you some water. Drink some water and let’s go to bed. We can talk in the morning.”

“Okay…” Shao Yunduan mumbled, still relying on Qiao Xuan for support. He seemed quite intoxicated.

He had been struggling to stay awake, but upon seeing his wife, his vigilance waned, and he gradually succumbed to the effects of the alcohol.

Qiao Xuan guided him to the bed. “Darling, wake up. Let me help you lie down.”

Shao Yunduan nodded drowsily, briefly opened his eyes to glance at Qiao Xuan, then lowered his head, allowing her to guide him forward. Once he was lying down, he grasped onto Qiao Xuan’s hands and muttered, “Darling, I didn’t pay any attention to that woman. I didn’t do anything to betray you…”

Qiao Xuan’s heart melted, and she couldn’t help but break into a bright smile.

“Really? That woman is so beautiful. You don’t find her appealing?”

“Darling… beautiful… I like…” he trailed off, closing his eyes, his breathing deep and steady. It was evident he had fallen asleep.

Looking at him, Qiao Xuan couldn’t contain her laughter. She playfully pinched his cheek.

It was incredibly easy to pinch.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively glanced around before leaning down and planting a quick kiss on his cheek..
