Lie Xunjue lay sprawled out on the large bed, not asleep, his long eyes wide open, seemingly staring at the ceiling, yet his gaze was somewhat unfocused.
The maid, Aunt Wu, brought in some juice to help sober him up.
Ye Huanyan poured a glass of juice and handed it to Lie Xunjue.
"Here, drink some to sober up!"
Lie Xunjue reached out to take the glass but didn't drink it. Instead, he placed it aside and pulled Ye Huanyan's hand, beckoning her to lie beside him.
She didn't resist and lay down as told, her head resting on his strong arm.
The bed was very large and soft.
His other hand held her small hand, their fingers intertwined tightly.
The warmth from his hand seeped to her fingertips.
They lay quietly together like this.
Just when she thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly let out a sigh.
