As the sun sets on the horizon, Xiaoyun and Yuqi head back home together.

Entering the house, he was immediately greeted by Yueyue, who looked extremely excited for her daughter''s birthday.

"Welcome back! How''s work today?"

"Pretty okay... You went to work today?" Xiaoyun asked, noticing the lack of decoration on the wall.

"How can you tell?"

"The walls, duh... Did Leyan not tell you to plan for your daughter''s birthday?"

Xiaoyun questioned as the three of them walked past the empty living room.

"It was a big case that I couldn''t ignore... Besides, Mom can do the celebration for me."

Seeing Yueyue not really caring about it, Xiaoyun didn''t bother trying to change her mind.

However, Yuqi was a completely different story.

"Yueyue, Qiaolan is your daughter. You have to do this kind of important things yourself.

I even took a day off to make Lianrong''s birthday celebration. Do you want your kid not to care about you when you grow old?"

"Okay, okay. I''ll do it next time..."

As they arrived in the kitchen, everyone was already waiting for them at the table.

"What are you three talking about?" Leyan curiously asked as all four of the kids surrounded her.

"Nothing, don''t worry about it... Ahem, let''s get this birthday party started!"

---

After Qiaolan''s birthday party, the rest of the night went like the other two birthdays previously.

The only difference was that Qiaolan wanted to sleep with Leyan instead, proving Yuqi''s point even further.

Fortunately, Leyan immediately rejected Qiaolan''s wish as she headed back to her bedroom with Yongyi.

With everyone else heading back to their bedroom, Xiaoyun and Yueyue both entered her bedroom with their birthday girl.

After putting Qiaolan to sleep in the crib, the two of them got inside the bed before turning off the light.

As the two of them tried to sleep in the darkness, Xiaoyun noticed Yueyue looking a little down with a slimmer of moonlight.

"You okay?" Xiaoyun whispered.

"I''m fine."

Hearing her grumpy answer, Xiaoyun knew it was the opposite. Yet, it was hard for him to come up with a solution.

Yueyue was stuck in an awkward situation where Qiaolan liked Leyan more because she had been taking care of all the babies at home.

Her internal security job made it impossible for her to spend time with her daughter unless she dropped all of her work.

However, considering her past job as a police officer, it was simply impossible to tell her to give up her selfless work ethic.

He could hypothetically fire her or promote her to a less intensive job, but that would only make her even more upset.

"Yueyue, you asleep?"

"No... You want to say something?"

Before Xiaoyun answered Yueyue''s question, he scooched forward, hugging her from behind.

"You can tell me all your worries. There''s no need to hide it."

Qiaolan sat in silence as if her brain was weighing in between the two options Xiaoyun had offered.

But in the end, she gave an answer that made Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief.

"Mommy more!"

"See? Our kids like you more. Remember, you will always have an advantage, Yueyue.

You''re the one who gave birth to Qiaolan. But you can''t expect her to like you when you barely talk to her."

As Xiaoyun put Qiaoland back into Yueyue''s arms, her eyes seemed to have found a new goal in life.

"Thank you..."

Seeing Yueyue start to play with Qiaolan, he quickly makes a few toys for the two of them to play with.

Eventually, as the night went on, Qiaolan fell asleep on her own as the clock reached twelve.

But Xiaoyun''s plan had achieved its initial success, as the two of them were now closer than ever.

After putting all the toys back into the cabinet, Xiaoyun turned off the lights before getting back into the bed.

"Don''t be so happy yet. If you don''t keep this up, all this work is going to be for nothing."

"I know... But how can I spend more time with her?" Yueyue asked, feeling a little lost.

"Come on, use your brain to think—every time before she goes to sleep, you can play with her like just now.

You can wake up early to play with her every morning before you have to go to work.

You can even come back during lunch break to spend time with her. You understand what I''m trying to say?"

With a little nod, Xiaoyun finally let out a sigh of relief as she now seemed determined to put in more effort to take care of the baby.

"Thank you——"

"No need to say that again. We''re already husband and wife for years now."

As Xiaoyun pulled up the blanket to cover the two of them, Yueyue''s face blushed a little before carrying Qiaolan to the other side of the bed.

After making sure Qiaolan was far enough from the blanket, Yueyue moved a little closer to Xiaoyun before trying to fall asleep.

However, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind after seeing how thoughtful he had been for him.

Without any hesitation, Yueyue suddenly lowered herself underneath the blanket before getting on top of him.

At the same time, the movement woke Xiaoyun, who was just about to fall asleep in bed.

"Yueyue, what are you doing?"

"Shush, don''t be so loud... I''m just rewarding you for being so helpful today."

"There really isn''t a need for that. You being happy is a big enough reward for me——"

Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, he could feel his pants being pulled along with his underwear.

With a wet, warm flesh surrounding his cock, he immediately realized what the reward was Yueyue was trying to give.

"You deserve it... Besides, how can you go to sleep with this giant thing underneath?"

Yueyue asked as her voice was muffled by having something inside it, making Xiaoyun even more satisfied after realizing it.

Still, Xiaoyun didn''t try to stop her.

Instead, he lifted the blanket to leave a small gap for air to flow in as she began to move her lips down to the base.

"Xiaoyun, were you turned on the whole time when you were watching me and Qiaolan?"

Xiaoyun''s face immediately started to blush, making Yueyue let out a little laugh as she began tightening her mouth.
