Chapter 328: Do Not Pick the Wildflowers by the Roadside

Qi Taiguo returned home after 10 PM, finding the living room still brightly lit. Cheng Su hadn't gone to bed yet, and was engrossed in reading a reference book; seeing him return, she put the book down and came to greet him.

Before she even came close, she caught the scent of alcohol and asked, "You've been drinking today? What kind of welcome party was it?"

As he took off his uniform, Qi Taiguo replied, "Those military doctors and nurses who were assigned to the grass-roots units reported for duty today, so we threw a welcome party. I just had a couple of small drinks to join in the fun. Didn't your sister tell you?"

"She mentioned you had some welcome party but didn't go into detail," Cheng Su said.

Qi Taiguo uttered an "oh" and, looking at her face, leaned in closer, only to be stopped by Cheng Su's hand. She reprimanded him, "Be careful, Mom and your sister might come out."

His mood was instantly dampened and he clicked his tongue, "I'll go take a shower."
