Ye Xinghe got up and brought over the chocolates she had bought on her way home from get off work.

"I suspect Su Nanqing will bring this chocolate to our house again tomorrow; she knows I love it. You need to cooperate with me to switch the one she brought, and make sure you don't get it wrong!"

"She's a very persistent person; she won't give up until she sees me eat it with her own eyes."

"You must hide anything that has problems; it might come in handy later."

Qiao Lin nodded seriously. "Don't worry."

When it got late at night and the family went to their rooms to rest, the two of them adjusted the position of the home security camera again before going to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Xinghe woke up at ten o'clock.

When she came downstairs, she saw her father, Ye Minghan, dressed very neatly in a suit and tie, sitting upright on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper.

Ye Xinghe skipped breakfast, walked straight to her father, and took his newspaper away. "Dad! What are you doing?!"

Mr. Ye looked up and stretched out his arms. “Hehe, do you think this outfit is okay for Daddy today? I’ve changed into several outfits this morning, and I asked your mother for her opinion, but she wouldn’t say anything.”

"I think this outfit is perfect for today; it's understated luxury with a touch of sophistication."

Ye Xinghe pulled her father up from the sofa, "You look terrible! Hurry up and go back to your room to change!"

"Who wears a suit and tie at home! I've never seen you dressed like this to work."

Ye Xinghe pushed him back into the room, opened the wardrobe, and casually picked out a set of casual clothes. "Wear this!"

Mr. Ye glanced at the clothes Ye Xinghe was holding: a light gray long-sleeved sweatshirt and beige casual pants. He frowned. "Hehe, isn't this a bit too casual? It looks unprofessional, as if we don't respect her."

"Dad, who wears formal attire for the Mid-Autumn Festival? People who don't know better will think you're going to a meeting!" Ye Xinghe threw the clothes aside. "Listen to me, wear this. After you change, come downstairs quickly and go help Mom in the kitchen."

Ye Xinghe's outfit today was also very casual. She wore a loose-fitting off-white sweatshirt paired with matching shorts, both made of terry cotton. Her hair was all pulled to one side and braided into a plait. She looked very relaxed and carefree.

She went downstairs to the kitchen and saw that her mother was dressed fairly normally, in a long cotton-linen dress. Her hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head, although her makeup was a bit heavier than usual, but still appropriate.

Ye Xinghe walked to her mother's side. "Mom, you don't need to make anything too complicated. Just make something simple. If you don't like it, I can order takeout."

Mother Ye was marinating the beef and didn't stop what she was doing. "How about we go to a restaurant to eat?"

"Besides, no food outside can compare to your mother's cooking!"

After changing, Mr. Ye came to the kitchen and asked, "Is it really okay for me to dress like this?"

Mu Jinyue turned around and glanced at her. "You finally changed out of that suit! I saw you struggling to breathe this morning."

Then, he handed Ye's father a small brush, saying, "Now you can clean the crabs, right?"

Mr. Ye rolled up his sleeves and came to the basin of water. “I just feel that the clothes I’m wearing right now don’t have much presence.”

Ye Xinghe praised, "I think it looks great! You look at least ten years younger! And it's a perfect father-daughter outfit with me."

"Dad, do you not want to do any work? You're wearing such expensive clothes on purpose."

At this moment, Aunt Mei, who was cleaning outside, walked into the kitchen.

"Young lady, your friend has arrived."

Ye Xinghe took out her phone and checked the time; it was just past 11 a.m. She and Hua Qingmeng were supposed to arrive at 1 p.m., so why were they here early?

She walked out of the kitchen and asked, "How many people? Men and women?"

Aunt Mei replied, "It's Mr. Chu. He came alone, carrying a lot of things."

Ye Xinghe cursed inwardly, "Damn stinking outhouse!"

How did he know I was home today and didn't go to Grandpa's house?

Ye Xinghe entered the living room and saw Chu Mofan chatting with his older brother Ye Xingyu, with several bags of things at his feet.

Chu Mofan's outfit today was also quite elaborate. He was wearing a bespoke suit, which he probably had made using the card Ye's mother had given him before.

Ye Xinghe thought to herself, "Thank goodness Dad changed my clothes, it was so embarrassing."

She smiled and said, "Brother Mofan, what brings you here?"

Chu Mofan looked up, his gentle gaze quickly sweeping over Ye Xinghe. She seemed even more beautiful than before.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I brought some things to visit my uncle and aunt."

"Xinghe, you look much thinner. Is it because you're working too hard?"

Ye Xinghe touched her face. "No. It's still the same."

"Then I'll go and call my parents over."

Chu Mofan reached out to stop her, "No rush. Let's sit down and talk first."

Ye Xinghe thought to herself, "Who wants to talk to you! You don't actually want to stay at my house for dinner, do you?"

When Ye's parents heard that Chu Mofan had arrived, they put down what they were doing and came over from the kitchen.

Chu Mofan quickly stood up and went forward to greet them, "Uncle and Aunt, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I brought you some gifts."

Ye Xinghe glanced at it and saw that it contained some red wine, white wine, tea, and mooncakes.

Ye's mother asked him to sit down and greeted him with a smile, "You've come all this way, why bring any gifts?"

How has your mother been feeling lately?

Chu Mofan: "My mother is in good health. She went on a trip with her friends to relax."

Ye Xinghe thought to herself, "This is terrible. It looks like I'll really have to stay home for dinner!"

She deliberately looked Chu Mofan up and down, "Brother Mofan, you have to go to work later, right? I saw you came in a suit."

Chu Mofan's face flushed instantly. He wanted to dress more formally and let Ye's parents see that he liked the gift they gave him and was already wearing it.

However, he was still a little embarrassed to be exposed by Ye Xinghe to his face.

Chu Mofan gave a signature gentle smile. "No, I was working overtime at the office yesterday and slept there. I didn't even have time to go home to change when I woke up this morning before rushing over."

"This is perfect for showing to your aunt. I really like the gift you gave me."

After Chu Mofan finished speaking, he stood up and showed it off to Mu Jinyue, just like a child who had just put on a new outfit.

Mu Jinyue smiled and praised, "You look very handsome! This suit suits you very well."

Ye Minghan glanced at her first, then leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "You were just talking about me, and now you look like you can't breathe."

Mu Jinyue put her hands behind her back and pinched his back hard, smiling. "Mo Fan, sit here. Your uncle and I will go to the kitchen to take a look."
