Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Mo took the hairdryer and dried her daughter’s hair.

Xiao Ke’s hair was thin and soft, and perfectly smooth.

In less than ten minutes, it was all blown dry.

Xiao Ke sat next to him and said, “Daddy, did you and Mommy have a fight?”

Actually, she did not really understand adults’ feelings. She just felt that what those sisters said today made sense.

Why didn’t Mom and Dad talk much? Was it because of the fight?

Xu Mo smiled and said, “No, we just…”

He suddenly couldn’t say it. How could he explain it to his daughter?

It was only because they had not seen each other for so long that they had nothing to say?

Or were they still strangers who had nothing to talk about?

Xiao Ke blinked, trying to hear what her father had to say, but he didn’t say anything for a long time.

She asked, “What is this? Have you made up?”

Xu Mo scratched his head and smiled. “Nothing. It’s already very late. Go to sleep.”

He had nothing to do during the day tomorrow anyway. He would think about how to improve their relationship.

He picked up Xiao Ke and gently placed her on the bed to cover her.

The air-conditioning was powerful, and the temperature in the room was just right.

Although she was sleepy, Xiao Ke remembered what she had to do and tried to keep her eyes open.

Xu Mo was about to go out when he heard Xu Nanjin’s voice from the bathroom. “Xu Mo, can you ask Xiao Ke to help me get my pajamas?”

Xiao Ke was about to get up when she remembered what her sisters had taught her. She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Xu Mo answered and opened the wardrobe to search.

Nothing on the hanger. His gaze drifted downward.

He saw a pile of underwear and pajamas.

Just as he was hesitating, Xu Nanjin urged, “Xu Mo, can you hurry up?”

In that case, he could only quickly find her pajamas. He folded them and went to find Xiao Ke.

But when he turned around, he found his daughter asleep.

The sound of running water in the bathroom had stopped. It looked like he had to do it himself.

Standing in the doorway, he said nervously, “Xiao Ke’s asleep. I’ll give them to you.”

After a moment of silence inside, she said, “You can just reach in with your hand. I’ll fetch them myself.”

“Okay.”

Xu Mo opened the door and reached in.

But after a long wait, no one fetched.

He took a careful half step inside and asked, “Can you reach this?”

Xu Nanjin hid behind the shower curtain and stretched out her hand, but she couldn’t reach it.

The big towel that wrapped around her covered too little of her. She didn’t dare get too close to the door.

Seeing Xu Mo take a step forward, she jumped into the bathtub in shock.

Her heart pounded and her face burned.

If Xu Mo took another step, he would see her naked.

She didn’t dare make a sound or reach for her clothes. They were in a stalemate.

Xu Mo thought that something had happened to her. Could she have fainted from exhaustion?

While he hesitated, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Hearing the sound, Xu Nanjin stuck her head out.

When she saw him come in, she nearly screamed and immediately covered her mouth.

Xu Mo saw the curtain move and quickly turned around. Her clothes were placed in front of the shower curtain. “Your clothes.”

Xiao Ke had already sat up in bed. When she saw her father enter the bathroom, she hurried over.

She slammed the bedroom door shut.

Xu Mo wanted to leave, but Xu Nanjin had yet to take her clothes.

So he urged, “I can’t see anything. Hurry up and take it.”

“Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke has closed the door for some reason.”

Xu Nanjin was extremely flustered. She held herself tightly. Hearing Xu Mo’s words, she finally reached out her trembling hand.

When she got the clothes, she didn’t know what to do.

He was still standing outside, with only the shower curtain between them. And it was translucent.

Xu Mo reached out to open the door. Xiao Ke shouted from outside, “Daddy, don’t come out.”

Her sisters had told her to create more opportunities for her parents to be alone together.

She thought now was her best chance. ‘Dad can’t come out so soon.’

Xu Mo smiled helplessly. He didn’t expect his daughter to pretend to be asleep, nor did he expect her to create an opportunity for him.

But he would pursue his wife himself.

He said patiently, “Let Daddy out. Mommy needs to get dressed.”

“Do you remember what Mom said about girls showering and boys not being allowed in?”

Xiao Ke was stunned. How could she have forgotten that?

She was a girl, so her father didn’t go in to bathe her.

Her mother was also a girl, so her father couldn’t go in either.

Thinking of this, she quickly let go and said anxiously, “Daddy, come out quickly. Boys can’t go in.”

Xu Mo smiled. His daughter was so easy to fool.

He turned around and saw Xu Nanjin sticking his head out. The two of them suddenly met.

She blushed quickly, then shrank.

She was too fast. Xu Mo only saw her flushed cheeks and dazzling fair skin.

He said, “I’m going out. Take your time to get dressed.”

He opened the door and walked out. He saw Xiao Ke looking at him anxiously.

“Daddy, come out quickly. Mommy will be angry again later.”

Xu Mo carried her back to the bed and asked, “Does Mom get angry often?”

Xiao Ke nodded, then shook her head sharply.

This puzzled Xu Mo. He smiled and asked, “Is Mom too fierce? She doesn’t want you to tell the truth.”

“It’s okay. Mom can’t hear you right now. Just tell Dad quietly, okay?”

Xiao Ke pouted and thought for a moment. “Mommy has a good temper. She doesn’t get angry.

“But Mom said she’d have a fit if any of the boys saw me in the shower.”

So that was the case. Xu Nanjin was very careful about protecting his daughter’s safety.

Xu Mo sat in front of the bed and turned off the headlights, leaving a small light on.

Patting her little hand gently, he said, “If Daddy finds out, he’ll be angry too. Go to sleep.”

Xiao Ke stretched out her hand and yawned. She was getting sleepy. She couldn’t take much more.

She opened her mouth and whispered, “But Dad just saw Mom take a shower…”

She fell asleep before she could finish.

Xu Mo couldn’t help but kiss her cute sleeping face.

She was so cute when she was pink and chubby. He could never get tired of her.

He glanced at the bathroom. Why wasn’t Xu Nanjin out yet?

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, “Xiao Ke’s asleep. I’m going to take a shower.”

Three bedrooms, one living room, and two bathrooms. A lot of awkwardness could be avoided.

Hearing Xu Nanjin’s soft grunt, he left.

Only when she heard the sound of water did Xu Nanjin dare to walk out.

When she saw the pajamas Xu Mo had brought for her, she didn’t dare to go out at all.

There was clearly a more conservative set of pajamas at the top. Why did he choose this one?

She closed the door quietly and picked up the blower.

However, she was afraid of disturbing Xiao Ke, so she could only go to the living room.

She found a shirt and put it on. She plugged the blower in and prepared to blow dry her hair.

Xu Mo took a shower very quickly and went out in his cool clothes.

He thought Xu Nanjin was in her bedroom, but she was drying her hair in the living room.

Xu Nanjin raised her head when she heard the voice. When she saw Xu Mo dressed like this, she panicked and her face turned red.
