Chapter 216
Other stuff is alright . But the knots wishing for safety and a happy marriage are way more beautiful than those seen on the markets .
“I want to show them to the general when he is back . ”
Lv Zhu gazes at Ah Zhao with smiles . She feels that the lady looks like a kid who can't wait to share with someone a treasure she has just got .
Sure enough, when Huo Jun returns in the evening, Ah Zhao presents him with those stuff .
Huo Jun isn't interested but he still nods and gives them a praise when he sees Ah Zhao's bright eyes: “Nice indeed . ”
Then he hangs it over their bedside .
At night, after both of them have washed, Huo Jun sits in front of the table, reading something . Ah Zhao is bored so she picks up a tale of the supernatural, reading as she leans on a couch .
Not knowing how long has passed, a shadow suddenly drops over her . Before she has the time to react, the book in her hands is taken away .
“Time for bed . ”
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen . “I haven't finished yet!”
Huo Jun refuses her hope to read a few more pages firmly . “Read it tomorrow . Now is time for bed . ”
Ah Zhao snorts and doesn’t move .
Huo Jun simply carries her off the couch and puts her on bed without expression . Then, he moves next to her .

“Don’t want to sleep? Do you want to do something else then, My Lady?”
His expression calm, his tone restrained . Ah Zhao would have believed he really thinks as he acts if she hasn't felt his burning hot body .
She blinks, and blinks again . “I, I’m sleepy now . ”
Huo Jun’e eyes moves across her face, then he lets out an interesting laughter . “I’ll wait till the day you recover, My Lady . ”
Then he backs off and does nothing as expected . He lies down as he pulls the quilt .
Ah Zhao follows him under the quilt . Before she finds herself a comfortable spot, a pair of strong arms comes from behind and pulls her over .
