Wu Xufan left the bed but did not leave the room.
If word got out that he left the bridal chamber on the wedding night, both of them would suffer consequences in the Imperial Palace.
Wu Xufan took a quilt, spread it on the floor, and then blew out the candles.
The room became dark.
It was Xiao Hezhen's first time sleeping outside of the Imperial Palace, and she felt somewhat uneasy.
Clutching her quilt, she gazed at Wu Xufan lying on the ground.
"If you keep looking at me, I'll get up and consummate the marriage again."
No sooner had he spoken.
Then Xiao Hezhen buried herself under the covers, making them airtight.
Wu Xufan let out a faint smile.
In this lifetime, it would only be for Xiao Hezhen that he would exhibit such restraint and endure such discomfort.
...
The next day.
At the break of dawn.
Xiao Hezhen felt someone had joined her side.
She turned her head, and as soon as she did, she saw Wu Xufan's large face very close to her own.
