The next morning, sunlight filtered through the window, illuminating the head of the bed and setting off Huangfu Xiangling's sleepy beauty pose with her silver pigtails.
There was a foolish little smile blooming on her delicate face, her expression peaceful and serene. Her rosy lips curled upward, from which trails of glistening drool slipped down; her body was curled up in the covers, revealing a flawless, snow-white shoulder.
In her sleep, her slender hands subconsciously moved, searching beneath the covers for the boy, longing to snuggle into his embrace.
But her hands found only emptiness.
"!"
Huangfu Xiangling woke with a start.
There was a hint of panic on her little face, her beautiful eyes sweeping the room again and again.
When she realized Xiao Ye was not there, she felt a bit lost.
"Creak!"
The bedroom door opened, and in walked an exceptionally attractive pair—a handsome young man and an unrivalingly beautiful woman.
It was Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress.
