Qiao Suisui was puzzled, looked at Leberli, then at Zong Fang. Both men remained silent.

He probably doesn't want you to see him looking so disheveled."

Qiao Suisui wanted to get out of bed to find Ruka but was stopped repeatedly by Leberli and Sang Yan. The three men looked tense. They thought she was still very weak from giving birth and wouldn't allow her to move around.
