After the wedding festivities, entertaining the guests, and watching the Olympic opening ceremony in the evening, Huo Sining was whisked away to Venice by Gu Xu overnight.
The plane departed from the Imperial Capital, had a layover in Rome, and arrived in Venice by early morning, around five. Once there, they headed straight to the villa Gu Xu had pre-booked, and Huo Sining, utterly exhausted, immediately went to sleep to adjust to the new time zone.
The nap didn't last long, only until five in the afternoon. During it, Gu Xu couldn't resist making playful advances, thoroughly enjoying his wife's company inside and out.
When Huo Sining awoke, she stepped out of the room. Hearing noise from the kitchen, she dressed in a floral cotton pajama set, slipped on some slippers, and with tousled hair and sleepy eyes, wandered over to the kitchen in a daze.
