Mu Yuchen was already back home when she arrived. He frowned and gave her an earful before preparing the bath water for her.

After they switched the lights off, the two of them lay down on the bed. Mu Yuchen was suddenly reminded about something and he looked at Xi Xiaye. After some hesitation, he said, "Xiaye, I have something to tell you."

"Mmm? What's up?" Xi Xiaye opened her eyes that were bright like glittering stars.

"I just heard that Father has resigned," Mu Yuchen said.

Resigned!

"You mean he quit his position as Mayor?"

Xi Xiaye quickly sat up in shock and opened her eyes wide as she stared at him blankly.

Mu Yuchen nodded. "This is the second time. Father told me that he was rejected the first time, but this time..."

"Why did he do that?" Xi Xiaye was at a loss. While she did not understand what was going on with Xi Mushan much, she knew that citizens had positive reactions towards him being the Mayor, and rumors said he would be promoted very soon. It was his prime time right now, so why would he quit?

"Why? You know the answer yourself," Mu Yuchen sighed, covering himself with the blanket and went to sleep. Xi Xiaye was still looking at him blankly. After some time, she mumbled, "You mean he did this for Mother?"

"He must've been struggling all these years. What would you have done if you were in his shoes?"

Xi Xiaye closed her eyes and gave it a long thought. In the end, she shook her head. "I don't know..."

"I think he wanted to escape, or maybe he just wants a fresh start. However, it seems pretty difficult on Mother's end."

He used one arm as a pillow for his head while his other hand played with her long hair.

"A fresh start? Father and Yue Lingsi are still married. Moreover, there's Xi Xinyi between them. How can he get a fresh start now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Father will be able to divorce Yue Lingsi these few days. He quit his career. Apart from for Mother's sake, it's also to avoid being threatened again. From what I know, they should have some kind of secret against Father. There's no way else he would've endured it through all these years. He's not the kind of person who lusts for power," Mu Yuchen analyzed, his eyes turning cold.

"These few days? You guys found evidence of Yue Lingsi cheating and gave it to Father?" Xi Xiaye's eyes brightened up as she realized what must have happened!

A wry smile appeared on the man's face. "Can't you let me say it to satisfy my manly pride?"

Xi Xiaye rolled her eyes at him. She did not reply and asked instead, "What secret do they have against Father? If that's the case, can Father still divorce Yue Lingsi successfully?"

"That depends on him, but I have faith in him."

"How do you know he can? Even I have no faith in him... Of course, it'd be best if he can divorce Yue Lingsi. I just asked Mother in the hospital if she still loves him. She closed her eyes and didn't give me a reply, but I saw the tears in the corner of her eyes... So, I think she still misses Father, even when he..."

She lowered her head and went silent. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at him while looking a little lost. "We aren't going to end up like them, right?"
