Xiao Yunjing returned very late that night. By the time he arrived, Gu Qingli was already asleep. After freshening up, he quietly slipped into bed, embraced her, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Gu Qingli woke up the next day, she reached for her side; it was still cool. Had Xiao Yunjing not returned? she wondered, frowning.
"Wuqing."
"Miss, you're awake." Wuqing entered, carrying a basin of water.
"Yunjing didn't come back last night?"
"He did return. Didn't you know, Miss? The Young Master left early this morning."
"Oh, I must have slept too soundly."
"Wuyou said that pregnant women are often like this. Please don't worry, Miss. Yun No. 2 and the others are with the Young Master; he'll be fine," Wuqing reassured her. "Wuyou also mentioned that pregnant women tend to be more sensitive and prone to overthinking, so she advised me to be extra attentive."
Indeed, what Wuyou said was true.
