Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance over. The young woman noticed, and her face instantly flushed scarlet, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.
"What are you looking at...?" she chided, lacking any real force. In a flash, she pulled her little feet under the covers and shot Lu Xuan a pouting glare.
Lu Xuan just chuckled to himself for a moment before calming his somewhat stirred emotions.
