Over the past few days, Mu Qianli worked during the day and returned to Pei Jinxi's house at night. Sometimes she got home early, and sometimes Pei Jinxi did.
If Pei Jinxi stayed up late, she would sleep in their bed by herself.
This went on for a week, until Mu Qianli finally received a call from Mu Zhenghua.
She hesitated at the sight of the number, but eventually picked up, resigned.
"Father..."
"Don't call me dad, I'm not your father."
"Then... Uncle, what's up?"
"..."
Mu Zhenghua took a deep breath, again infuriated,
"You... When exactly will you come home? Or do you not plan to come back at all?"
"I thought you'd be mad if I went back."
"You will come back today, or else don't bother coming back ever!"
He hung up after finishing his words.
Mu Qianli had no choice, and finally entered the house that evening.
"Father..."
Mu Zhenghua sat on the sofa, looking at her. He took a deep breath and finally didn't explode with anger, but waved her over next to him instead.
