At night, Zhao Junyao indeed went.
This time, Xia Ruqing wasn't asleep; she was cuddling a cat in one hand and holding a game piece in the other, bent over the gameboard, deep in thought.
Seeing this, Zhao Junyao felt a bit angry. He felt that ever since she got the cat, it made no difference whether he was present or not; she was just as carefree. He didn't consider that other women longed for his visit, practically stretching their necks toward Zhaochen Palace. Yet, she... But! But! Why couldn't he control his legs? He just wanted to come here.
"MEOW."
Da Bai saw him and darted out from Xia Ruqing's arms. It stood at his feet, tilting its little cat face, just staring at him.
Zhao Junyao looked at the cat. Well, it's cute, but he felt nothing. He was angry.
"Your Majesty?" Xia Ruqing finally realized what was happening. She hurriedly threw down her game piece and went to greet him.
