On the second floor, the lights in the study were still on, but there was no one there.

Li Xuewu took a look and saw that the light in the master bedroom was turned off. Reflecting the light in the study room, he could clearly see the person lying on the bed.

Gu Ning sleeps silently and softly, just like the wind at night.

Li Xuewu quietly picked up his underwear in the cloakroom and went downstairs.

Qin Jingru just returned to bed when she heard the movement in the living room again. She sighed helplessly, put on her slippers again, and walked out to take a look.

The wall lamp was on, and the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

She was Biao, not a low IQ. She knew that Li Xuewu came downstairs to take a shower because he was afraid of disturbing Gu Ning who was upstairs.

But... the bathroom downstairs was always used by her and the old lady at night.

It's not that she blamed Li Xuewu for waking her up, but the clothes she changed out of taking a shower tonight were still in the bathroom.

She planned to wash it together tomorrow, but she was lazy tonight because she was tired, and she didn't expect to bump into this person.

The bathroom door was closed, and Qin Jingru did not dare to go in and get her clothes, but she was also afraid that Li Xuewu would see it, which was such a dilemma.

When the water movement stopped, Qin Jingru quickly closed the door, as if she was afraid that Li Xuewu would see her.

Li Xuewu took a shower quickly, changed his underwear, wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out.

When he saw the light in Qin Jingru's room still on, he couldn't help but twitched his lips and went upstairs without paying any attention to her.

Qin Jingru waited for the sound of the door closing on the second floor, then hurried to the bathroom, but saw that her clothes were covered by his clothes.

She also thought that Li Xuewu must have seen it just now, so she covered it up with clothes because she didn't want to be embarrassed.

But doing so made her blush. After all, she is a girl, and even the most shy people can be shy.

Li Xuewu didn't know that she was shy, so he just thought she was lazy.

Turning off the lights in the study, Li Xuewu walked into the bedroom under the moonlight and got on the bed lightly.

I thought Gu Ning was sleeping peacefully, but as soon as he lay down, he saw Gu Ning looking at him with her eyes open.

"Didn't you sleep?"

"Have a nap, what time is it?"

Gu Ning closed her eyes again, her nose twitching a little, obviously dissatisfied that Li Xuewu came back so late.

Li Xuewu gently hugged Gu Ning and said softly: "It's past ten o'clock, go to bed."

Gu Ning did not expose this man's words. She found a comfortable position in Li Xuewu's arms and said in a lazy voice: "I will go home before ten o'clock."

"knew"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and agreed. He had known it would be twelve o'clock.

Now he is discovering more and more how powerful this little wife is. She is a hard knife at work, but a soft knife at home.

Even though I knew he was lying, I didn't ask him why he came back so late, or what he was doing, let alone what time it was.

I followed his words and made the rule of going home at ten o'clock.

People like Li Xuewu are those who take the easy way rather than the hard way. Gu Ning has said so. What else can he do? The only thing he can do is to go home before ten o'clock.

The gain outweighs the loss. Li Xuewu, who was lying on the bed, looked at his little wife carefully. Why didn't he see that she had such a scheme before?

Gu Ning actually slept peacefully. Unlike the previous times where she woke up all at once, she quickly fell asleep with Li Xuewu by her side.

Gu Ning fell asleep, but Li Xuewu couldn't sleep.

Go home at ten o'clock?

It’s ten o’clock! The nightlife has just begun!

Who said marriage is the grave of love?

What you say is so reasonable. Once you get married, there is no nightlife at night, so the love outside is just like entering the grave!

Regarding love, Li Xuewu can only pay tribute to it with nostalgia.

Until morning, Li Xuewu yawned and walked down the stairs, and was scolded by the old lady again.

"No matter how young you are, you can't drink like this. Drinking alcohol at night is the most harmful to your health. It will make you sick when you get older."

"knew"

Li Xuewu agreed with a wry smile, rubbed his face, and secretly glanced at Gu Ning at the dining table. Seeing his young wife drinking porridge calmly, he replied a few words to the old lady.

Qin Jingru served Li Xuewu some porridge awkwardly, and almost knocked the bowl on the table when she handed it over.

Li Xuewu glared at her, and she was so frightened that she even hid in the kitchen.

When the pickles were brought out again, Qin Jingru saw Li Xuewu being continued talking by the old lady, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

But when she sat down, she saw Gu Ning glance at her again.

This glance lasted only a moment, but Qin Jingru almost jumped up.

Suspicion? Exploration? Or...

Qin Jingru was a little confused by these two people, and she didn't know which hand she should use to hold the chopsticks.

Li Xuewu listened to the old lady's nagging, sipping the porridge, rolling his eyes, and asked: "Where is Li Shu? She hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Still talking~"

When the old lady saw her grandson changing the topic, she glared at Li Xuewu and said, "I saw you didn't come back last night, so I didn't sleep. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I just stared in confusion. Why don't I still sleep?"

Li Xuewu gave a bitter smile, and the old lady kept nodding at him both inside and outside her words. The central thought was about returning home late.

It is a taboo for this man to stay out at night, and it is also poison to a marriage.

The old lady has been her home all her life and has never encountered any kind of situation.

I have lived for more than half my life and have never encountered anything like this.

It is the man who makes a good family bad, and it is the woman who makes a man bad. She does not want her grandson to take this path.

The old lady woke up when Li Xuewu came back last night, but she didn't come out because she thought her grandson wanted to rest. This morning, when she saw that Gu Ning came downstairs by herself, she knew that her grandson was angry.

Isn't that what it does for an elderly person to live with a younger person?

No matter how many excuses and reasons Li Xuewu had, he had to be scolded by the old lady today. One was to warn Li Xuewu not to cross the line, and the other was to give Gu Ning an excuse to scold Li Xuewu and tell his grandson's wife to calm down.

Some ignorant old people prefer to help their children and grandchildren and blindly suppress their daughter-in-law, which leads to conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

There are also ignorant men who cannot do or say things that are the cause of estrangement between husband and wife.

The morning meal was eaten several times. The old lady ate on time and did not wait for Li Xuewu and the others to eat first. After eating, she did not get off the table, just waiting to lecture Li Xuewu.

Gu Ning came down first, but didn't eat. She didn't use her chopsticks until Li Xuewu came downstairs.

Qin Jingru was frightened. Because she was hiding from Li Xuewu about what happened last night, and because she was suddenly suspected by Gu Ning, she finally had a meal. The atmosphere at the table was very depressed because of the old lady's lecture.

Finally, Gu Ning and Li Xuewu had finished eating, the old lady stopped talking, and Li Shu started making trouble again.

This was the first time Li Shu cried and cried here. The old lady hurried back to the house, and Li Xuewu and Gu Ning followed her in.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Li Shu sitting in his car and crying. He was so pitiful.

The old lady went to hug him and coax him, but Li Shu saw Li Xuewu and stretched out her little hands to grab him.

Li Xuewu walked in awkwardly, stretched out his arms to hug his daughter, and coaxed her along with her babbling.

Seeing that Li Shu's crying was fading, the old lady glared at Li Xuewu again with dissatisfaction, and then went out again.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, helped Li Shu change into small clothes, and without saying anything to Li Xuewu, she went out to get ready for work.

Only Li Xuewu and his daughter were left staring at each other, especially when they saw her tearful eyes, holding his arms and babbling and complaining about why he came back so late last night.

In fact, Li Xuewu didn't understand what his daughter was talking about, but he never cried in the past. Today it was so annoying and she came directly to him. He couldn't even think about it.

Li Xuewu wanted to laugh out loud. He was scolded by Gu Ning last night and scolded by the old lady this morning. He thought the trial was over, but he was scolded by his daughter again.

Li Shu had caught Ba Ba, and she wanted to wash her face, drink milk, eat, and ordered Ba Ba around the room.

Neither the old lady nor Gu Ning said anything about taking over or helping, and they even looked at Qin Jingru not to ask her to reach out, so it was almost time to go to work before she was let go by her daughter.

After eating a full meal, Li Shu no longer bothered anyone. She just sat on the sofa and played with her toys, raising her head from time to time to say a few words to her father.

Li Xuewu changed his clothes, drank tea with a tea cup, sent Gu Ning away and waited for the car to pick him up.

When the old lady saw Qin Jingru going to wash clothes, she came over and sat next to Li Shu. She looked at her grandson and asked, "Xiao Ning is angry?"

"No, really not"

Li Xuewu took a sip from the tea cup and said: "I was at the club last night. It was already very late after the show ended. I talked to them some more. It's not peaceful recently and I'm a little worried."

The old lady also understands that her grandson has many things to do and is under a lot of pressure, but what can an old lady like her who has lost her abilities care about, and it is not about family harmony.

"Everything must have a degree. Going too far is never enough. Even if you have calculated everything, there is always something you have to lose."

The old lady looked at her grandson and asked: "The most precious thing to you should be your family. Losing your family is like a tree without roots. What can you do no matter how beautiful you are?"

"Well, I know, I won't do it anymore"

Li Xuewu solemnly nodded in agreement again and promised: "Just this once, I won't stay up late again."
