The gang discussed the matter for a while. Then, seeing that it was late, Qiao An got up and said, “Let’s end here for now and go back to bed. Fortunately, we’ll all be staying at the Ji Manor in the future. We can discuss anything at any time.”

“Chief will take care of Eldest Young Master Ji tonight. If he doesn’t wake up tomorrow morning, send Chang Huan to let us know. We’ll make plans early.”

“Alright!” Su Jiu nodded. “You all go back to bed. I’m here!”

The gang got up and went out. Chang Huan looked at the man on the bed in a coma and whispered, “Chief, if he wakes up and bullies you, you must call for me!”

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen!” Su Jiu yawned and dismissed Chang Huan and the other three.

Outside, it was dark and cold. A crescent moon hung in the sky, glowing soft but forlorn. The gang went back to their respective rooms to sleep. Only Su Jiu remained and she was very sleepy. She lifted the bed curtain and saw that the man was still asleep. His eyes were closed, and a wisp of hair was strewn across his handsome face. He donned red robes, and his face was pale. Nevertheless, he looked exceptionally captivating.

Su Jiu sat by the bed and reached out to pinch his chin. She smiled and said, “Tut, you do look good!” Then, she pinched and rubbed his face. “Remember to like me, or I’ll kick you out again!”

Suddenly, Su Jiu thought of what Qiao An had said and frowned. “Gentle? How can one be gentle?” It took so much goddamn effort. Su Jiu should never have agreed to pretend to be the Su Family’s Young Lady in the first place. If only I’d let Chang Huan dress up! Su Jiu thought while climbing into bed. She pulled up the quilt and thoughtfully covered the man with it. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. One enjoyable night in a luxurious bed was worth thousands in gold.

The night passed with the two breathing steadily. As the red candle burned out, the crescent moon gradually rose in the sky. The sun revealed a ray, and the eastern sky slowly paled. The candle went out, and the room darkened. Su Jiu turned around. Unexpectedly, her arm brushed against something, and she woke up at once.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a man’s handsome face right in front of her. Su Jiu started, retreating suddenly. Then, she took a deep breath and remembered that she was married. Su Jiu glanced around the bed, and her breathing gradually stabilized.

Her gaze fell on the man. He looked much better than he had in the middle of the night. He was sleeping soundly, lying on his side. Even asleep, the man maintained a graceful posture. His hand was under his head, his eyes closed, and his breathing soft. His inner red robes, embroidered with inky lotuses, had slipped down, exposing half of his shoulder. In the dim light, his skin was smooth as jade. His half-exposed clavicle was delicate and sexy. Su Jiu looked at him and felt herself reacting weirdly.

Leaning forward, Su Jiu mirrored his appearance and put a hand under her head. She stared at him with her large doe eyes. His eyes were rather long with upturned corners. Without even opening them, they were rather beguiling. His eyelashes were also very long, black, and dense. They were like an inky fan outlining an elegant shadow.

Su Jiu could not help but reach out and touch his eyelashes. She felt curious and thought he was good-looking. Her fingertips gently caressed his eyelashes, like feathers brushing past. The sensation was rather ticklish. Suddenly, the man’s eyes trembled. Su Jiu immediately retracted her hand.

After a moment, he slowly opened his dark eyes, which were still a little hazy as he stared, stunned, at the girl before him. The morning light was thin, and the sun was dim. The air froze. Only two pairs of bright eyes stared wordlessly at each other. After a long time, the man smiled gently. He raised his hand and caressed the girl’s hair. As he’d just woken up, his voice was gravelly, deep, and seductive as he said, “Good morning, my lady!”

Su Jiu blinked and remembered Qiao An’s reminder to be gentle. She grinned. “Good morning!”

The man’s long fingers slipped down, caressing her eyes, cheeks, and chin. Then, slowly, they fell on her neck. He smirked with the corners of his lips, but a cold, winter morning was in his eyes. “One enjoyable night is worth thousands in gold. As your husband, I have neglected you, my lady. Did you sleep well? Did you see anything?”

Murderous intent! A very sharp murderous intent! Su Jiu had been in the martial arts world for many years and was extremely familiar with such auras. As her thoughts flashed wildly, Su Jiu considered whether to kill him now. No! She can’t kill him! It was dawn; she couldn’t possibly commit murder in the Ji Manor. Even if she escaped, the gang and Nanny might not be able to get out unscathed. Be gentle, Qiao An said, be gentle!

Su Jiu covered the man’s hand with her own as if nothing had happened. “No, I didn’t. You said to go to bed, then you laid down and fell asleep. I covered you with a quilt!”

Even if she doesn’t kill him, she can’t let him kill her! It’s just that, until now, she hasn’t been sure whether this man is proficient in martial arts.

The girl’s hands were warm and soft, and the man was slightly stunned. He smiled, “That’s it?”

Su Jiu nodded. “That’s it!”

Surging clouds flashed in Ji Yuxian’s dark gaze. His stare was complicated for some time before he calmed down. The hand holding Su Jiu’s neck shifted upward to her face. Gently, his fingertips caressed her cheeks. “I have brought many grievances upon you, my lady!”

“I just covered you with a quilt. It’s not a grievance!” Su Jiu smiled innocently.

Ji Yuxian, however, chuckled and said, “Su Yuejiu, if you’re pretending to be confused, you’re very convincing. I like it!”

Regardless of whether this woman was going to be useful to him, he didn’t want to live with someone whom he abhorred. At least, so far, this woman is interesting!
