Watching her mischievous laughter, Ou Chengtian felt a mix of exasperation and frustration. This woman, she was clearly engaging in a battle of wills with him.

Xia Liyou's house wasn't far away, so she could easily walk home.
But the whole walk back, Ou Chengtian was unusually quiet. Even when Xia Liyou initiated conversation, his responses were brief.
Noticing that something was amiss, Xia Youyang leaned into Xia Ziqian to ask, "What's up with your dad?"
Xia Ziqian shook his head, uttering with a perplexed look, "I don't know. He's been acting strange since after dinner."
