Xi Xiaye cursed on the inside, but the man behind her had already taken her book away and swiftly switched off the lights before closing his eyes.

"Rest early. You've been quite worn out these past few days. Otherwise, let's do something else!"

He seemed to emphasize the words 'something else', and Xi Xiaye obviously knew what he meant. She gritted her teeth and silently accepted it. It seemed as if she could never defeat him. He just had a way to smooth things over when she was unhappy!

She thought about it, then asked, "Why did you call Father over?"

"Why not?" he asked instead, and reached out to pull her into his arms.
