Then Qi Yuan, still dressed, leaned beside Shu Wan, his gaze soft as he watched her, "You sleep first."
"Mm." Shu Wan was indeed a bit tired. Although her heart harbored many unanswered questions, she desired nothing more than a good night's sleep at this moment.
But as soon as Shu Wan closed her eyes, Qi Yuan spoke again, "I haven't touched any of the concubines in the harem."
Shu Wan opened her eyes to meet Qi Yuan's profound gaze.
Qi Yuan continued, "When I stay in their palaces, it is merely to rest. I have never let them come close to me because I knew that one day you would return."
Shu Wan wanted to say something, but Qi Yuan stretched out his hand, partially covering her mouth, "I do it willingly, now sleep."
Shu Wan did feel sleepy, but after Qi Yuan's words, she found herself unable to.
She sighed countless times in her heart. She wanted to persuade Qi Yuan, but ultimately felt it was pointless with someone like him.
