Ming Mei and Zhuang Zhiyuan walked upstairs hand in hand in the darkness, feeling uninhibited since no one could see them.
Ming Mei was quite puzzled, saying as they walked, "I wonder why my mom urgently called me to come home."
Even though her family was particularly doting on their daughter, different from other families, her mother had mentioned before her marriage that it wasn't good to visit home too frequently after marriage, as neighbors would gossip. Ming Mei didn't understand what there was to gossip about, but that's just how things were.
If a married daughter frequently returned home, it would inevitably invite some unfavorable discussions.
Ming Mei's mother didn't want her daughter to be subject to such talk, which is why she had reminded Ming Mei before marriage. This made Ming Mei's current summons all the more puzzling.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home!" Ming Mei's voice rang out cheerfully. "Your beloved daughter has returned!"
