Chapter 81: Bridal Chamber

Qin Jijing did not open his eyes, sleeping quietly, but his thumb gently stroked the back of Jiang Ni's hand, the other fingers lightly encircling her wrist.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed as if he was not entirely comfortable, seeking solace in her presence.

Jiang Ni stood before him without moving, hesitated for quite some time, then she lifted her hand and quietly wrapped her other arm around him.

Pausing for a few seconds, she mimicked how he soothed her before, her fingers gliding gently along his back.

She did not try to wake him again, simply standing quietly by his side.

Mrs. Lin had said she was going back to rest, but she had not gone to bed yet. She first instructed the butler to prepare a bedroom in the back courtyard for the two of them. Seeing Qin Yu return, she hurriedly inquired about Qin Jijing's condition.
