Zhou Guifang looked at her daughter with concern and sighed.

"Qingyue, you look very tired. Did something happen at the Jiang family today?"

Shen Qingyue smiled slightly and tried her best to hide her fatigue.

"Mom, it's nothing big, just some family matters. But it's all settled."

After hearing this, Zhou Guifang truly realized that her daughter had grown up.

"Qingyue, sometimes don't hold on alone. Your dad and I are your strong backers."

I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The hour hand was already pointing to ten o'clock.

She frowned slightly and turned to Shen Qingyue, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Qingyue, it's so late, why hasn't Mingyuan come back yet?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingyue frowned and said, "Mom, Mingyuan may have some urgent work to deal with."

After listening to her daughter's words, Zhou Guifang relaxed her brows slightly and said slowly: "Qingyue, you and your wife are too busy. You should pay more attention to rest. Your body is the capital of revolution."

Shen Qingyue smiled softly and replied softly, "Mom, I know. We will also pay attention."

Zhou Guifang sighed softly, obviously still a little worried, but she also knew that her children had their own lives, and she couldn't always interfere too much. "Then I'll wait until Mingyuan comes back before going to sleep, otherwise I won't worry."

Shen Qingyue gently held her mother's hand, with a gentle light in her eyes.

Her voice was soft: "Mom, don't worry, I will wait for Mingyuan to come back. You are already very tired, you should rest first. I promise, if he comes back, I will tell you immediately."

Zhou Guifang glanced at her daughter, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

However, she knew that Shen Qingyue's character would not change easily once he decided something.

She nodded slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Okay, Qingyue, then you should go to bed early."

Shen Qingyue responded gently: "Don't worry, Mom, I can do it."

Shen Qingyue stood up, walked with her mother to the bedroom door, and watched her enter the room until the lights went out.

It's not that she doesn't care about Jiang Mingyuan, but she knows that excessive attention and concern will only make the relationship between the two more tense and complicated.

She no longer thought about why Jiang Mingyuan didn't return, nor did she care about the distance between the two.

Turning around, he gently closed the window and drew the curtains to block out the night and cold wind outside.

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening outside. She realized that she had forgotten to lock the door.

In this late night, the sudden sound of the door opening made her heart tense, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

She quickly sat up from the bed, her heartbeat racing, and the only sound left in her ears was her rapid breathing and the slight movement outside.

A thought flashed through Shen Qingyue's mind: Could it be a thief?

After a few seconds of silence, she finally decided to get up and check.

Shen Qingyue slowly sat up from the bed, trying not to make any noise.

There was another faint sound in my ears, which seemed to be the sound of something being lightly touched in the living room.

Shen Qingyue's heartbeat accelerated, and the tense atmosphere made her breathing quicken.

She carefully picked up a clothes drying rod from the bedroom as a self-defense tool.

Although she usually seemed calm, on this sudden night, the fear in her heart was still uncontrollable.

She stood quietly at the door, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. Shen Qingyue knew that in this situation, calmness was her greatest weapon.

She slowly opened the door, holding the clothes drying rod tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

Shen Qingyue's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and the tense atmosphere made every nerve in her tense.

She slowly opened the door, leaving only a small gap, enough for her to observe what was going on outside.

Through the crack in the door, she saw a figure tiptoeing towards her room.

The man's movements were slight, as if he was trying to avoid making any noise.

Shen Qingyue clenched the clothes drying pole in her hand, secretly wary in her heart.

Her breathing became more rapid, ready for whatever might happen.

Suddenly, the man pushed open her door.

Shen Qingyue was instantly frightened by this sudden move, and she screamed subconsciously.

"Ah!" The voice was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Shen Qingyue's scream was extremely harsh in the quiet night, penetrating the entire quiet family atmosphere.

The sound was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a series of waves.

After Zhou Guifang and Shen Heyue heard Shen Qingyue's scream, they rushed out of their respective rooms almost instinctively.

They all had expressions of panic and worry on their faces, obviously frightened by the sudden scream.

"Qingyue, what's wrong? What happened?"

Zhou Guifang's voice was obviously worried, and she quickly walked towards Shen Qingyue's room.

Shen Heyue looked calmer, but the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.

He followed closely and looked at Shen Qingyue's room with a serious face.

The lights in Shen Qingyue's room turned on, and the dazzling light revealed the figure standing at the door - Jiang Mingyuan.

He looked a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Qingyue screamed suddenly.

Zhou Guifang and Shen Heyue entered the room nervously. After seeing Jiang Mingyuan, the worry on their faces gradually turned into confusion.

Their eyes alternately moved between Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan, trying to understand what just happened.

Shen Qingyue took a deep breath and tried her best to sound calm: "It's okay, Mom, Dad, I was just scared by a cockroach that suddenly ran over."

Her explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, but she didn't want to worry her family or explain too much at this time.

She glanced at Jiang Mingyuan, still a little puzzled by his sudden appearance.

Jiang Mingyuan realized that Shen Qingyue might be covering up for him, so he nodded: "I'm sorry for waking everyone up. I accidentally touched something when I came back."

Zhou Guifang breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Jiang Mingyuan with some dissatisfaction: "You two are really not careful even in the middle of the night."

Shen Qingyue stood in the room, feeling a little uncomfortable, her eyes wandering between her family and Jiang Mingyuan.

Shen Yan stepped forward and comforted her softly: "Qingyue, it's okay. It's late at night, don't think too much, have a good rest."

Zhou Guifang and Shen Heyue also gradually let go of their worries. They took turns comforting Shen Qingyue, their voices full of care.

Zhou Guifang said softly: "Qingyue, don't be afraid, maybe you are just too nervous and you will be fine if you take a rest."

Shen Heyue glanced at Jiang Mingyuan with a slightly serious look, and then turned to Shen Qingyue: "Pay attention to safety at night. If you need anything, please tell us at any time."
