Their affection had grown so deep that it was hard for them to part from each other.
Even when the carriage reached the Prince Mansion, they were reluctant to alight.
Eventually, Murong Jiu had to be carried out by Jun Yuyan, her face buried in his chest, too flushed to meet anyone's eyes.
Her clothes were disheveled, but before she got out of the carriage, Jun Yuyan had tidied them up for her, though they were somewhat wrinkled.
There seemed to be some noise coming from a distance, but what echoed louder in her ears was Jun Yuyan's heartbeat. Just as she was about to look up, Jun Yuyan strode with her into the mansion, and the sound from outside was shut behind the doors.
Naturally, she did not see the icy glance Jun Yuyan cast back.
Back in Qiyun Courtyard, Jun Yuyan put her on the bed and told her to rest, but she did not feel tired and couldn't fall asleep.
