Ruan Tianling quietly approached her and saw her with her eyes closed, one hand resting on her lower abdomen, sleeping very peacefully.
He softly sat down beside the bed, his eyes affectionately watching her, the corners of his mouth lifting in a charming curve.
He reached out to caress her face and lowered his head to gently kiss her lips.
Jian Yufei, in fact, had not fallen asleep at all; she opened her eyes, which showed no signs of sleepiness.
Avoiding his kiss, she propped herself up and said faintly, "You're back."
"Mhm, let's go downstairs to eat," Ruan Tianling took her hand.
Jian Yufei nodded slightly.
Ruan Tianling led her downstairs, where the dinner had already been laid out.
Auntie Li had cut the squab Ruan Tianling brought back into small pieces and placed the plate in front of her.
Clasping her chopsticks, Jian Yufei found herself unable to eat anything.
Ruan Tianling picked up a piece of roasted squab for her, "Don't you love this? Go ahead and eat."
