Since getting married, this was the first time Hua Xiaomai had slept alone in this room, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Usually, with him by her side, she would feel as warm as a large furnace. Even if she dove into the bed cold, she would warm up in no time. However, today, the bedding seemed incapable of retaining heat. Lying inside it for a long time, her hands and feet remained chillingly cold, making it difficult to fall asleep.
She nestled in the blanket, thought about the Lianshun Escort Agency, and couldn't help feeling a bit worried. Wondering what serious matter had occurred, yet thinking of the joyful expressions on Wu Wenhong and his Lady earlier that day made her heart lighten, and she couldn't help but smile. Drifting off into a drowsy sleep, she woke up after only a short time.
A very faint noise came from the courtyard gate, followed promptly by a series of familiar footsteps that approached the door.
