She stood there opposite him, wrapped tightly in a bedsheet, her hair disheveled and batting her innocent eyes.
After he was momentarily stunned, a smile flickered across his eyes.
"Awake?"
He said, walking over, and added,
"Why did you come to the doorway?"
Su Yan's voice was weak and soft,
"Hungry."
She hadn't eaten for a day and a night and was utterly famished.
He didn't say anything, just scooped her up in his arms and carried her to a seat.
After placing her in the seat, he casually pulled up the bedsheet that was sliding off and wrapped her tightly again.
Only then did he say,
"Nantang, prepare some food."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Nantang respectfully acquiesced and then left.
In the chamber, only Su Yan and Xuanyuan Yonghao remained.
Su Yan wasn't like before; this time, she gazed longingly at Xuanyuan Yonghao.
As if she was about to bore a hole right through him with her stare.
He looked down, meeting Su Yan's gaze.
"What are you looking at me for?"
