It was past 11:30 PM when Shangguan Wuqiu finally arrived home.
Ye Fan only escorted Shangguan Wuqiu to the entrance of her apartment building and did not accompany her upstairs.
As soon as Shangguan Wuqiu unlocked her front door, lights from the living room spilled out, indicating that her daughter had not yet gone to bed.
Feeling a bit guilty, she took a deep breath, quickly checking herself over to ensure Cui Wenwen wouldn't notice anything amiss, then entered.
"Mom, you're back," Cui Wenwen paused her TV watching and immediately turned to greet her.
Shangguan Wuqiu smiled and nodded, asking, "Why haven't you gone to bed?"
"You hadn't come home; I couldn't sleep," Cui Wenwen responded, wrapping her arms around Shangguan Wuqiu's arm and pulling her to the sofa to sit.
Once seated on the sofa, Cui Wenwen asked, "Mom, did you enjoy your night out?"
