Chapter 209

When Ah Zhao wakes up, it’s still early . There's a section of candle left on the table, flickering in the room .

She had a good sleep, however, her head still aches .

After yawning, she finally realizes that someone is lying next to her with his arm around her waist .

It's Huo Jun .

How did she get in bed? How did he end up sleeping beside her? She has no idea what so ever .

As she thinks, she moves up a bit and looks at him .

Yesterday, she only had one glimpse of him . Now she has all the time in the world to watch the famous general of Pingjing carefully .

He is indeed good-looking, his features fierce and well-positioned . His straight-bridged nose looks right like a master-piece of a renowned sculptor, his lips a bit thin .

Ah Zhao recalls she has read in a book that men with thin lips are usually inconstant in love .

She looks at him closely and mutters to herself: “Why is everyone so afraid of such a good-looking man?”

She feels the grip around her waist suddenly tightens .

Startled, she looks over and finds his eyes closed .

“It’s still early . Rest . ” His calm voice rises .

His arm rises and pulls her closer . They lie together intimately, like every couple that’s deep in love .

As Ah Zhao leans on his chest, she feels the heat off his body . Gradually, overwhelmed by a tiredness deep within, she closes her eyes, her breath grows long and slow .

After Ah Zhao falls asleep, Huo Jun opens his eyes .

He looks clear-headed and energetic, without a single trace of sleepiness .

Tilting slightly, he looks at her quietly without disturbing her .

After a good while, there seems to be a soft laughter in the dim-lighted room .

Outside the bed curtain, candle drips drop slowly and burn till the sun is high up in the sky .

When Ah Zhao wakes up again, it's already light outside .

The space next to her has lost its warmth . She wonders when he left .

She moves only to find herself ache and weak all over . She knows it’s the after-effect of the sleeping pills .

Sitting up, her temples are throbbing .

The maid who has been waiting on her hurriedly opens the bed curtain .

“My Lady, you are awake? Do you need to wash?”

Ah Zhao nods .

The maid helps her wash, put on makeup and tie her hair into a bun .

After that, another maid arrives with various delicate breakfast .

“General tells me to tell My Lady that he has something to attend to and he is sorry that My Lady is going to have breakfast alone . He’ll come back by noon and have lunch with you, My Lady . ”

Ah Zhao nods .

Looking at the dishes on the table, big and small, a dozen in total with food from the South and North . Apparently, the cooks have spent quite some time on this breakfast .

She especially likes the steamed dumplings so she eats three of them and drinks half a bowl of porridge .

Perhaps since this body doesn’t have good digestive organs, Ah Zhao doesn’t feel like eating after having those food .

She has no choice but to ask the maids to take the food away as she looks at them eagerly .

The maid that wakes Ah Zhao up and help her with the breakfast is called Lv Zhu who is both surprised and amused by her reaction .

She only knows the general’s wife is a daughter of a wealthy family . Who could have thought she is so innocent and artless too?

It seems this lady shows whatever she thinks .
