After having their dinner together, Fan Xiao Yao collected the dishes with the help of Huang Li. Meanwhile, Lu Mello accompanied the kids in the living room, watching them play.

In the kitchen...

"I'll be going out with Mello after this." Huang Li said while helping his lover with the dishes. He was the one in charge of drying the plates with a towel while Fan Xiao Yao was the one washing it clean.

"Where are you going?" She asked, glancing at him before she returned her gaze to the cup she was rinsing.

"We're going for a walk... And a drink."

Ah yes, she remembered him telling her that earlier. "Just don't stay up late."

"Don't worry."

Fan Xiao Yao was left alone with the kids after the two men left. While she was trying to put the kids to sleep in their room, her phone began ringing.
