"Great General, no need for such courtesy, please take your seat," Li Sangruo smiled faintly, her face full of affection, her expression subtle and gentle, yet her eyes never left Pei Jue.
Watching him approach from afar, gradually making his way to the seat...
The room was heated by an underground system, much warmer than the outside, the courtiers had all removed their thick robes and handed them to their servants to take away, planning to put them back on when they left.
But not Pei Jue.
He sat down quietly, as if nothing was amiss...
However, Li Sangruo was close to him, and when he brushed aside his robe to sit, she still noticed something odd.
Not to mention the wrinkles on his clothes, the fresh marks on his neck, barely visible, were enough for her to guess what Pei Jue had been doing with that woman before attending the banquet.
Li Sangruo's eyes turned green with envy, and she couldn't help but frown.
