Due to what happened just now, Huo Jun doesn't have the mood to stroll around anymore . He goes back to Ah Zhao’s room and finds himself a book to kill time .
Ah Zhao wakes up soon afterwards .
Huo Jun says, concerned: “Do you have a good nap?”
Usually, his lady sleeps half an hour longer than she does today .
Still sleepy, Ah Zhao nods and says a bit unhappily: “I’m not used to sleep here . ”
Watching her yawn with teardrops at the corners of her eyes, he puts down the book and walks over .
“Do you want me with you?”
Ah Zhao is confused . “What?”
As she speaks, he already takes off his shoes and gets into the bed .
With one of his arms around his lovely wife, he unbuttons his coat, one-handed, and lies down with her in his arm . “As you wish . Now sleep . ”
Before Ah Zhao figures out what gives Huo Jun the impression that she is acting coquettishly for him before she sleeps, she is already put to bed .
But to be honest, since she didn't have a good nap, she is very tired right now . In his embrace, she breathes in that soothing smell and falls asleep quickly .
Looking at the one with a shallow breath in his arms, Huo Jun reaches out his hand and rubs her nose softly .
A quiet murmur stirs the air:
“Still a spoiled kid . ”
Qi Jun waits for a long time in the pavilion but nobody comes . Confused, he returns and learns that his brother-in-law came back a while ago .
He rushes to her sister’s yard with excitement and is stopped before he even gets in, by guards that Huo Jun brought here .
“My Lady is sleeping . Please don't disturb her, young lord . ” All the guards are expressionless in trim military uniforms and armed, who look quite frightening .
Qi Jun is clearly intimidated, but he musters up his courage and asks: “What about my brother-in-law?”
A guard answers, still expressionless: “The general is, of course, with the lady . ”
Seeing the boy's puzzled look, the guard adds meaningfully: “Young lord, there are things that you can only understand when you are older . ”
Qi Jun leaves in confusion .
When Ah Zhao wakes up, an hour has passed .
By then, Huo Jun is in a rest with his eyes closed .
Ah Zhao thinks he is asleep and watches him wantonly .
Hmm, his looks as good as ever . As she looks at him, she recalls how he stood up for her in the great hall and can't help smiling .
Then she looks at him again . Sure that he won't wake up anytime soon, she gets closer to him and kisses him on the lip .
“My husband is so handsome!”
She is about to move back when a hand lands on her waist .
She hasn't noticed when he opened his eyes .
“Want to get away after you’ve done something bad, don't you?”
With the strength of his arm, he picks her up and drops her on his body .
The two look at each other in the eyes .
“My Lady, you did me wrong when I was sleeping . Do you think you deserve a punishment?”
Ah Zhao didn't know he wasn’t asleep and felt a bit guilty when she did it . However, hearing that, she throws away all that guilt and answers with justice on her side: “We, we are husband and wife . What wrong it is to kiss my husband?”
Huo Jun says pensively: “That sounds reasonable . ”
Ah Zhao thinks that's the end of it when she hears him again: “Then it is also just of me to kiss my lady, right?”
What?
Ah Zhao only feels herself turned upside down and sinks into the soft quilt under him .
