It wasn't until evening that Xixi and Mo Shiqian came back.
By then, Mu Zhang was washing the car in the yard, Mrs. Mu was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Chi Huan was chatting with her and helping out.
Mo Shiqian sent Xixi back to the study room to do her reading, then went to the kitchen and took Chi Huan away.
Mrs. Mu chided with a laugh, "You even want to pull her away from me when I'm just having her keep me company for a bit; aren't you afraid I'll feel hurt seeing this?"
Mo Shiqian lifted the corner of his lips, glanced at the little woman with lowered eyes, and smiled faintly, "Chatting is fine, but letting her assist you will only add chaos and nothing else."
