The morning sun rose, painting the sky with a red dawn.
In the distance, the white of the horizon was faintly visible.
In the main courtyard of Prince Shuang's Mansion, a woman in a nightdress lay in bed, her breathing steady.
Even the blanket couldn't hide the curves of her figure.
"Xiao Mo..."
"Can you..."
"Can you let me look at you for a lifetime?"
The man sitting on the edge of the bed recalled the woman's words from last night. Remembering the smile that appeared on her face after he answered, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
After one last look at her, Xiao Mo tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, pulled her blanket up snugly, then stood and walked out of the room.
"Young Master Xiao, you're leaving already? Does the Princess truly not need to see you off?"
Outside the room, Hua Sheng was already awake, waiting in the courtyard.
