Huang Xiaojue fell silent for a moment, his voice very steady: "Let my mom come home tonight. My dad is very worried; the two of them have never been apart their whole lives. I'll come pick her up right away."
"No need, I'll send someone to take her home. Xiaojue, you don't need to waste time. Go straight back to our place, I have something to discuss with you."
Huang Xiaojue understood; this was divide and conquer. She wouldn't let him and his parents stay together at the same time. Clearly, she'd already taken every precaution—she absolutely would not let his parents leave the city.

She paused, then asked in surprise, "We're always flying around in different places, hardly ever together—how would we have children?"
