It was already one in the morning when Nan Chen returned to the Commoner Residence.

Nan Xing was still awake, and was drinking under the pavilion in the garden.

Nan Xing usually drank at private clubs, surrounded by beautiful women. It was indeed rare to see him drinking alone like this.

Nan Chen walked over.

“Brother, I have been waiting for you.” Nan Xing sounded a little drunk.

“Why are you here drinking alone?”

“Grandpa was really happy today that the kids were back safely, so he opened the Maotai which he had kept for twenty years. But the old man couldn’t drink too much because of his high blood pressure. I didn’t want to waste it since it was already opened, so I planned to finish the bottle with you.”

Nan Chen sat down and poured himself a cup.

He could already smell the alcohol before he lifted the cup.

Nan Chen finished the cup in one gulp, the aftertaste lingering in his mouth. It felt wonderful.

“Is there anything bothering you?” Nan Chen asked after putting down the cup.

“Today, Ding Mi brought the kids here. But as you know, the Nan family has a rule that a woman can only step into the main hall after she marries into the family, so she could only stay at the West atrium for the time being.”

Nan Chen nodded. He had guessed it.

“Don’t you think it’s rather unfair to her, since she is the mother of the kids after all? She painstakingly gave birth to them and raised them but she can’t even sit at the same dining table with the kids. What kind of screwed up rule is this?!” Nan Xing was worked up.

Nan Chen signaled for Nan Xing to lower his voice.

“Not all rules have reasons behind them. Rules are rules, and have to be obeyed. If you think about it, some rules with seemingly no reason behind them actually have their own worth.” Nan Chen poured both of them another cup each.
