In the quiet bedroom, the slight sound of the door being pushed open arose.
Huo Yunjiao walked out of the bathroom with soft steps, tying the belt of the bathrobe he wore, his dark eyes sweeping towards the person lying in deep sleep on the bed, the coolness on his face bereft of tenderness showed no sign of surprise.
Following precedent, on nights without marital affairs, Qin Ruan would have already been asleep, and it was inevitable that he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the bed after waiting for Huo Yunjiao for so long tonight.
Huo Yunjiao's soft footsteps did not halt; he continued towards the bedroom door.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent hallway and stopped inside the adjacent children's room, as a hand gently pushed open the door.
The night watch servant inside was startled, her drowsy eyes looking at the visitor with surprise.
