Huang Li stayed by Fan Xiao Yao's side until she was able to calm down. No, she didn't calm down. She cried herself to sleep. It was another release that she needed.

He carried her into his arms, in a bridal style, bringing her to their room. He gently and carefully placed her down on the bed, pulling the blanket up until her shoulders and watched her sleep for a while, and at that moment, he made a promise that he was going to stay by her side and take away as much pain as he could from her.
