off scot-free, but I haven't promised to cancel the punishment." 。He remained grim-faced, saying coldly. 。The thought of her daring to put both herself and the little rabbit in danger made him want...An Xiaotu saw him walking out of the lobby with a somewhat frosty expression, so she asked, "Yu Cheng, are you going out Dinner is almost ready."

"There might not be enough time to come back for dinner."

He said this without pausing his steps, and then left.

An Xiaotu saw him like this and was a little worried.

But he walked quickly, and by now had already reached the doorway, not giving her a chance to question him at all.

Take a deep breath, I'll wait until he comes back and ask him what happened.

Later, it's time to prepare for dinner.

Mo Caijing looked around, then asked An Xiaotu, "Xiaotu, where is the Second Young Master"

"Mom, he went out not long ago, said he had something to do, and wouldn't be back for dinner." An Xiaotu replied.

"Then we won't wait for him."

Mo Caijing turned to instruct the steward that dinner was ready.

During Chinese New Year, going out for dinner this late means something must be urgent or important.

"Third Young Master, did your second brother tell you what he was going to do before he left" Tang Mu turned her head to ask Tang Moqingye, who was amusing their daughter.

"Second brother didn't even tell Xiao Tu's sister-in-law, how come he told me; Mom, Second brother is a grown man, he just went out to do some errands, he isn't going on some important mission, why are you all so nervous Eat your meal, eat your meal, our little Nuan Nuan is hungry." He said calmly, holding his daughter and walking towards the dining room.

Xiao Ya Bai followed behind and said, "You put Xiaonuan down. You're holding her all the time, be careful she won't learn to walk later."

This man acts like he's never held a child before.

Without thinking, he held his daughter in his arms. He didn't even consider that in a little while, Xiaonuan would be four years old, not a toddler anymore.

Anyway, she's getting too heavy to hold for long.

"Alright, I'll put Xiao Nuannuan down." Tang Moqing put Xiao Nuannuan on the chair at the dining table and muttered, "You say whatever you want, anyway, I don't dare to contradict you, nor do I dare to have an opinion."

"......," Xiao Ya Bai.

Wouldn't he be uncomfortable all over if you didn't tease him

……

Midnight

An Xiaotu finished her bath and lay in bed, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

She glanced at the time, it was past eleven.

But someone hasn't come back and hasn't called.

Thinking about his face when he left this afternoon, she tossed and turned for a while, got out of bed, and picked up her phone to call him.

The phone went through, but after waiting for a while no one answered, and finally a message came saying that no one was available.

She couldn't help but worry. She wished she had asked him what he was going to do when he said he was leaving.

She called again, but no one answered.

Just when she was about to think it was unanswered again, the call went through.

"Second Mistress, good evening!" A respectful, somewhat aged man's voice came from the phone.

An Xiaotu was stunned, "Excuse me, who are you"

"To the Second Madam, I am Zhong Butler. Currently, the Second Master is at the villa where Young Master Si Xiu used to live." Zhong Butler glanced at his master lying on the bed and respectfully explained.

Soon, An Xiaotu remembered who this ‘Zhong Butler’ was. He was the butler of Tang Si Xiu's house before.

She hadn't interacted with Zhong Butler many times and couldn't remember what he looked like.

"What's wrong with the Second Master Why did he suddenly go over there" Her voice was a little tight as she questioned.

That uncomfortable feeling welling up in my heart again.

After Tang Shuxiu's death, they tacitly agreed not to mention him.

What's up these two days

Today is neither Tang Shuxiu's death anniversary, nor any special day.

First, she dreamed of Tang Xiu, and now Yucheng went to that villa again. It was still the Butler Zhong who answered the phone.

Butler Zhong recalled what his master had instructed him before, so he answered evasively, "Second Mistress, as for how the Second Master is doing, I really don't know. The master's affairs are not something we servants would be told."

"So, what's he up to now Why didn't he answer the phone"

When Xiao Tu asked this question, she had already gotten out of bed and walked to the wardrobe. She casually picked up a set of clothes.

"The Second Master was asleep. I woke up because my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID irritably and saw that it was the Second Mistress calling, so I answered." replied Butler Zhong.

The more she listened, the more suspicious she found Zhong's words.

Yu Cheng's usual sleep wasn't deep. If he had just fallen asleep, there was no way he wouldn't have heard his phone ringing.

"Okay, I understand. It's fine." She said and hung up the phone.

I didn't tell Zhong the butler where I was going, planning a surprise visit to catch him off guard.

After changing clothes and taking the car keys from the drawer, he left the room.

******

In the room, Zhong the butler placed his mobile phone on the bedside table, painstakingly settled his master down, left a small lamp burning, and then went out.

After walking a few steps, Zhong the butler stopped and turned back to look at the closed door. He sighed with a hint of sadness.

Since Master Si Xiu passed away, the Second Master hasn't come here again. He was given several times his previous salary to continue taking care of this villa.

Old Zhong guessed that it was probably the phone call he made this afternoon that stirred up Second Master's past pain and sadness, causing him to come here.

Zhong, the house manager, lived in this villa. Returning to his room, he recalled many things and couldn't sleep at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the doorbell rang.

He got up, put on a coat, and went to open the door.

Through the cat's eye, Zhong Butler saw that it was another mistress (the second young mistress) outside. Zhong Butler hurriedly opened the door, "Second Young Mistress, it's so late, why are you here"

"Where's the Second Master" asked An Xiaotu.

"Second Master is... Second Master is resting in the room. I'll take the second young mistress there right away."

John, the butler, swiftly closed the door and, as he led her, put on his coat which had been draped over his shoulders.

An Xiaotu followed Butler Zhong with a composed face, thinking about the matter until she heard the butler say, “Second Mistress, we’ve arrived.”

Then he came to himself.

She recognized this room as the one Tang Shuxiu had lived in before.

A complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She dismissed the butler, "I understand, Butler. You go and rest."

"Good night, Second Madam! If you need anything, just call out." Zhong the Butler didn't say much else, he bowed slightly and left.

When Zhong the housekeeper went downstairs and disappeared from sight, An Xiaotu took a deep breath and pushed open the door to her room.

The moment I stepped into the room, I was hit with the strong smell of alcohol.

She couldn't help but frown, realizing she was drunk. She must have had quite a bit to drink to be unconscious.

I sat down by the bed and watched him sleep, his face peaceful. Even drunk, he looked just like himself; as if nothing had happened at all.

Probably drunk, so I couldn't think about those unpleasant things and just slept soundly. he reminded her once again, his big hand becoming even more unrestrained."Ahhh! You, you stop moving around!" An Xiaotu was so frightened that she screamed in terror, then begged, "Please, I beg you,...
