Yan Qing had been reading from "Records of the Grand Historian" for half an hour and noticed that Ling Hua listened with rapt attention.
The fever on her body seemed to have subsided a bit, but very slowly, and she lay there obediently, her eyes closed, yet her trembling eyelashes indicated she was awake and listening intently, savoring every word.
She was quiet and well-behaved.
Yan Qing suddenly understood what Ling Yunyang once told him about Ling Hua's childhood, how her delicate beauty and charming nature made him fear daily that someone would steal into the Ling Family to snatch his little sister away. If he had had such a sister in his own childhood, he would likely have held her in the palm of his hand as well.
It was mainly because she seemed so well-behaved that it was irresistible not to be kind to her.
