Chapter 470: Nuptial Wine (1) (1/2)

Xiyan helped Chu Lian with wiping her hair dry and anointed her with some perfume before taking her leave.

The room was extremely warm and comfy because of the heated floors. There were also several braziers placed around the room.

Chu Lian didn’t feel the slightest bit of chill even when she took off her cloak. She unfolded the blankets and dove into the bed. The warm and soft blanket covering her body made her sigh from comfort.

With her entire body ensconced in warmth, the tension in Chu Lian quickly dissipated and she fell asleep.

While in a half-dazed state, she felt someone pulling her into the crook of an arm. Due to her experience from before, Chu Lian hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep, so this action startled her awake.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was faced with He Changdi, whose eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky.

Chu Lian turned mute with shock. It took her a moment to take ahold of herself and speak, “You… why are you here?”

At this point, He Changdi had already lifted up the blanket and made his way into the warm and cosy nest. He tightened his grip around her and stared calmly at her blushing face. He let out a gentle laugh, “Were you expecting me to sleep in the study instead of our bedroom?”

Since he had just lifted up the blanket, it hadn’t completely settled down to cover their bodies yet. The whole area from Chu Lian’s neck to her chest was exposed to his gaze.

The faint lantern light streaming through the curtains on the bed made her exposed snowy white skin look all the more appetising.

He Sanlang sized up the nightclothes she seemed to have worn ‘intentionally’ with a smile. His voice dipped a few notches as he continued, “If I hadn’t come, wouldn’t you have worn this robe for nothing?”

Chu Lian’s mind was still hazy after getting woken up. However, his words made her recall that she was still wearing those extremely revealing nightclothes…

Her cute little cheeks lit up in a furious blush instantly.

Chu Lian hastily explained, “This was prepared by momo! I didn’t choose this, don’t misunderstand!”

“Senior Servant Gui?”

Chu Lian quickly nodded.
