Early morning, gazing at his beautiful young wife still fast asleep, a faint smile graced Huo Xiaochen's lips.
As the legitimate daughter of the Xiao Family, even if she wasn't as beautiful as a celestial fairy, she was still an earthly beauty. She wasn't far behind Ye Qiuling in terms of looks, and more importantly, she possessed the cunning and boldness befitting a legitimate daughter of a Thousand-Year-Old Noble Family. In the future, she would be a capable and virtuous wife.
"Wake up, we still need to serve tea to our parents and my master," he said softly.
After gently waking his wife, servants brought in hot water. Once they finished freshening up, Huo Xiaochen led her out of the room.
After serving tea to the Xiao Family's Patriarch and the ruling matriarch, Huo Xiaochen asked the servants, only to learn that his master, Jiang Wang, hadn't stayed at the Xiao Family estate last night. Instead, he had returned to the city overnight.
