Wait

The next morning.

After Chu Liuyue woke up, she realized that Chu Ning had returned home and even prepared breakfast as he waited for her to join him in the living room.

Chu Ning knew about this place since Chu Liuyue had already told him about moving to a new residence earlier on.

"Father, why are you back so early? Didn't the Emperor say that he wanted to talk to you throughout the night? Did you come right back home after it ended?"

Chu Ning looked at her dotingly. "Hurry up, come here and eat. I actually came back at midnight. However, I saw you asleep, so I didn't wake you up."

Chu Liuyue sat down beside him and could not help but tease when she saw the piping hot breakfast. "Dad, you're already the imperial guards' Commander in Chief. This meal is so precious!"
