Chapter 18: The Bridal Chamber

"Compared to work, I want to see you healthy more. Xiao Xi... Mi Xi said you used some special power, excessively draining your physical strength. Next time you must not be so reckless, and you must contact me if something comes up," Quan Shaoqing looked down, his hands grasping her shoulders, his gaze firmly locked with hers.

He couldn't bear to blame her for not contacting him when she was in danger.

But he had to warn her again.

Not to shoulder everything alone when something happened.

On hearing his words, Gu Xiaoxi smiled a smile that welcomed the sunlight, and her face became even more beautiful, especially her skin, which had reached a rarely seen tender and fair state.

"Shaoqing, I'm a bit tired. I want to sit here and rest for a while."

Quan Shaoqing found a clean rock to sit on and then pulled Gu Xiaoxi into his embrace.

She hadn't expected him to do this, so she happily leaned onto his shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed their moment together.
