When Ji Niandong woke up, she found herself sleeping in Lu Beichen's arms. She thought she was dreaming and instinctively retreated a bit.
Lu Beichen was awakened by her movement. He opened his eyes slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Awake?"
He continued to hold her waist without letting go. The warm touch made Ji Niandong realize this wasn't a dream. How was he here?
Remembering that she drove him out of the room yesterday, she felt a vague sense of guilt and embarrassment, unsure of what to say.
Lu Beichen pulled her into his embrace, "It's cold, snuggle up for warmth."
"Husband, when did you come over to sleep?" she asked quietly, feeling immensely guilty.
Lu Beichen rested his chin on her head and replied, "Came over in the middle of the night. Couldn't sleep without my wife next to me."
