He glanced out the window and saw the sky was already growing light. Zhao Guofeng gave up on sleep, sitting up on the bed and swinging his legs over the side.
Just then, his tossing and turning woke Qin Xiaojuan, who mumbled with her eyes still closed, "Can't even get a peaceful night's sleep. Become some piddly little official and suddenly you don't know how to act!"
Zhao Guofeng was already off the bed. He had just grabbed his coat and pants, which were draped over the back of a wooden chair, when he heard her words. He couldn't help but retort, "This is men's business. A woman like you should stay out of it!"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Xiaojuan threw off the covers and sat bolt upright.
