After a long, but fulfilling bath, Yu Zhen walked out of it, carrying his Wangfei. The servants could not help but watch in sheer awe. It wasn't the action that surprised them, but the gentle look on his face. It was amazing how quickly his expression shifted.
When Yu Zhen glanced down at the sleeping woman, his face softened, and a small smile was on his lips. He had even bent down to kiss the top of her head. But when he glanced up, the warmth had fleeted from his eyes.
As Yu Zhen reached their estate, the doors were pushed open for him one by one until he set foot in their bedroom. The doors were closed behind him, just as Yu Zhen settled Li Xueyue on the bed.
"Mm…" she grumbled, tossing to her side.
"Bully."
Yu Zhen held back a laugh. Was she awake now? He rested an arm on the bed and peered over her shoulders. No. She was still asleep. Her eyelids were softly shut, with her hands tucked to her side. She slept like a small child.
