Mrs. Sheng observed the two people on the couch intently. She saw her daughter soothing and feeding honey water to Mu Bai, and she noticed Mu Bai holding onto her daughter's hand.

She saw her daughter sneak a kiss on the corner of Mu Bai's lips and Mu Bai burying her head in her chest while wrapping her arm around her waist, displaying a sweet and affectionate demeanor.

It wasn't until Sheng Qingyin led Mu Bai upstairs, still unconscious, that Mrs. Sheng withdrew her gaze. Seeing her husband still in a drunken stupor, she couldn't help but express her disapproval.

She realized that comparison was indeed a negative feeling and could only lead to unhappiness.

"Get up and have some honey water before going back to sleep," Mrs. Sheng sighed deeply, continuing her mission to wake up her husband.

She began to contemplate that people make their own choices. Compared to those men who mess around outside, her husband, despite his flaws, was at least passable. As for other aspects, her husband's ability to maintain a decent physique even at the age of fifty could be considered a silver lining. All in all, she would make do and manage with the situation.

Back in the familiar bedroom, Sheng Qingyin couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. The last time she stayed here, she had just proposed to dissolve the engagement.

Little did she know that two months later, not only was she free from the engagement, but she had also successfully brought Mu Bai home.

"Qingyin," Mu Bai gently nuzzled her neck with her head and whispered, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep."

"Alright, let's take a bath first. We haven't removed the makeup from your neck yet," Sheng Qingyin whispered back.

Seeing Mu Bai nod obediently, Sheng Qingyin couldn't resist taking out her phone, switching to selfie mode, and took more than ten photos before putting it away.

In front of Sheng Qingyin, the drunken Mu Bai was very obedient. Whether it was undressing or getting into the bathtub, she followed Sheng Qingyin's instructions without any fuss.

Mu Bai's adorable and obedient behavior couldn't help but spark some strange thoughts in Sheng Qingyin's mind. However, when she saw the lingering marks on their bodies, Sheng Qingyin's conscience got the better of her. In the end, they shared some simple cuddling and then went to sleep together.

"Do you have a headache?" Sheng Qingyin asked as she placed her hand on both sides of Mu Bai's forehead and gently massaged.

"Yeah," Mu Bai responded and laid down on Sheng Qingyin's lap, muttering softly, "It feels awful. I won't drink that much again."

"And there won't be a next time, right?" Sheng Qingyin raised an eyebrow and said firmly, "From now on, you're not allowed to drink with my dad, or if you do, it must be in moderation. No getting drunk!"

"Okay, I won't get drunk. I promise," Mu Bai replied, playfully circling her arms around Sheng Qingyin and lightly nuzzling her belly with her nose.

"Don't fool around!" Sheng Qingyin's sensitive spot had been touched, and she instantly tensed up, forcefully separating Mu Bai from her and making them both sit up. "Hurry up and get ready, Mom left us breakfast!"

Under Sheng Qingyin's urging, they hastened through their morning routine, skipping skincare and makeup, and went downstairs. Breakfast was simple, consisting of rice porridge and boiled eggs, accompanied by basic vegetables and pan-fried ham – a traditional and healthy meal.
