Gu Xiaonuan sat in the passenger seat, drowsy and on the verge of sleep.
She only mentioned feeling sleepy while at the palace, but after getting into the car, she immediately entered a state of semi-consciousness.
Si Yuchen watched as Gu Xiaonuan repeatedly nodded off like a chick pecking at grains, helplessly repositioning her back on the seat with her head against the headrest.
"Thank you... thank you," she murmured.
Si Yuchen thought Gu Xiaonuan was thanking him and was about to respond...
Noticing her closed eyes, Si Yuchen couldn't help but smile wryly.
Underneath his faint smile was an overwhelming sense of indulgence and pampering towards Gu Xiaonuan.
He didn't know when it happened, but Si Yuchen went from indifferent to exceedingly careful with Gu Xiaonuan.
In Si Yuchen's world, Gu Xiaonuan became increasingly significant, not merely a tool for procreation.
