Ling Hua finally resisted the urge and did not climb up to ask Yan Qing. She thought to herself that there would be plenty of opportunities later and there was no rush.
So, she snuggled up to Yan Qing, her body almost entirely against him, and continued to feign sleep.
When the carriage returned to the Governor's Office, entered through the main gate, and arrived at the gateway adorned with hanging flowers, they could go no further by carriage. Yan Qing glanced down at Ling Hua and, in the faint glow of the Luminous Pearl within the carriage, saw her small face flushed from sleep, her body reeking of alcohol, her rosy complexion like blooming peach blossoms. This delicate and vulnerable appearance was the reason for his partial annoyance that day.
Simply put, he did not want others to see her like this.
