"...Okay."
The sound of the door opening sent a shock through Sheng Lanxin, startling her almost to death by the sight of a figure playing games crouched against the wall.
Clutching her chest, she huffed, "What are you doing here?"
Li Susu abruptly stood up, "Uh, Xiaojing had a nightmare. He asked me to escort him to the study."
At that, Sheng Lanxin scoffed, "Alright, then you can stay out here overnight in case he suddenly wants to return to his room but is too afraid to."
"Okay."
Li Susu watched her leave and then return with a blanket, obediently standing in the corner.
Perhaps conceding that there's no chance left for the night, Sheng Lanxin covertly rubbed her aching legs and glanced at the man absorbed in his paperwork. She said, "Sichen, you carry on with your work. I'm going back to our room, I won't disturb you."
The man didn't look up, merely acknowledging her with a noncommittal response.
Seeing this, she left, disappointed.
