"Can you build a fire now?" Di Mingjue suddenly asked. His voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying a hint of heartache.
Gu Qibao was taken aback, her heart aching, and she quickly nodded, "Yes."
"The fire is about to go out." Di Mingjue smirked, keeping his heartache at bay. He sat next to Gu Qibao, and asked seriously, "Aren't you going to add more wood?"
"Oh." Gu Qibao hurriedly nodded, grabbing a handful of wood and shoved it into the stove.
Their interaction seemed peaceful, like a school official comforting a student, rather than a couple reuniting after a long separation.
This approach left no room for criticism. Nangong Ran, watching this scene, felt somewhat relieved. At least the Duke wasn't going mad!
When it came down to it, he was man enough. Even though he seemed crazy when dealing with Gu Qibao, he kept his cool during crucial moments.
However, the scene was somewhat heart-wrenching to watch.
