Unaware of Alpha Team's actions in the night, Yue Ling slept like a baby. Lu Tian held her tightly in his embrace, ever so lightly caressing the side of her arm.
He looked down at her, and with the help of the faint light coming in through the window, he could see her sleeping face.
She looked so peaceful. It was as if nothing in the world mattered to her.
He gazed at her and listened to her soft breathing while continuing to take in the sight of her. His head leans forward, and he gently kisses her head, ensuring he does not disturb her sleep simultaneously.
Once he pulled away from her, he carefully moved her from his arms. He places her head on the pillow and sits up.
After tucking her in, he quietly got up from bed.
He still needed to finish his work.
He leaves the room with light footsteps, returns to their shared study room, and sits behind his desk.
