Pei Yuqing lightly rubbed his fingertips, his gaze darkening slightly as he said in a hoarse voice, "Stop it, let's sleep."
He didn't try to hold her again, and Xie Wanqing was more than happy about it. She turned her back to him and fell asleep.
......
The next day, they returned to the Duke Pei Mansion.
In the cold, harsh winter, aside from the servants sweeping the snow in the courtyard, the entire Pei Mansion was tranquil and peaceful. Surprisingly, no one noticed their absence for the night.
Including Princess Duan Yang, no one had come to inquire. Xie Wanqing was glad for the peace of mind and acted as if nothing had happened.
Not long after lunch, Pei Yuxuan appeared at Xuanhua Courtyard, wrapped in a ginger-yellow cloak, braving the wind and snow.
Her large eyes were red, either from the cold or some other reason.
Seeing this, Xie Wanqing quickly called Yuan Yue and Yuanyu to bring hot tea.
