It was nearly two in the morning by the time Chen Ping'an returned home. Just as he expected, Chen Erya was still awake, waiting for him with a worried look on her face.
When Chen Ping'an had left in the dead of night, Chen Erya hadn't asked what he was doing, but she had been worrying about it ever since.
"Brother~"
Seeing Chen Ping'an return, the gloom on Chen Erya's face melted away, replaced by a smile.
"Yes, Nannan. It's too late. Go to sleep now," Chen Ping'an said softly, patting Chen Erya's head.
It was the middle of the night, and their surroundings were silent. Speaking in the courtyard, there was no guarantee the neighbors wouldn't overhear. At that moment, the thought of moving to a new house surfaced in Chen Ping'an's mind once again.
If they could move to a larger residence, they would undoubtedly have much more freedom.
'With my current progress in the Martial Dao, that day might not be too far off!'
"Ah!"
