Qiu Xin’s call awakened Mo He. He sat on the chair and snorted, “Both of you go back to your rooms at once!”

Qiu Xin wanted to stay, but she worried Xia Yan would be thick-skinned and follow her lead. She could only nod and put the chicken soup on the table. “Mo He, it’s getting late. You should go to bed early after having some soup.”

Xia Yan looked at the bowl and then at Qiu Xin. She raised her eyebrows and said, “I’m going back to my room, so I can get some early rest and see you tomorrow.” Then she blew a kiss to Mo He through her black mask.

Mo He shuddered as his hair stood on end. “Get out!” He thundered angrily as Xia Yan turned around and left with a sinister smile.

Qiu Xin gritted her teeth and followed Xia Yan out of the study. When the two arrived at the door, Qiu Xin turned back and looked into the room. However, Xia Yan instantly closed the door behind them.

Xia Yan crossed her arms and stood by the door. She sarcastically reminded Qiu Xin, “Hubby told us to go to our rooms and sleep.”

Qiu Xin gritted her teeth and glared at Xia Yan. “You’d better stop acting so smug.”

Although the black mask covered Xia Yan’s face, one could see from her eyes that she was smiling menacingly. “I’m a newlywed, so I can be smug if I want to.” Xia Yan stretched and walked upstairs to her room without waiting for Qiu Xin’s reaction.

“I’m going back to my room. Getting married took a lot out of me.”

Qiu Xin was left at the study’s door as she clenched her fists and glared at Xia Yan’s figure. Xia Yan returned to her room, maintaining her menacing smile. She never thought that bullying a mistress in the middle of the night would be pretty enjoyable.

However, that husband of hers was capable of eating anything. If Xia Yan weren’t kind enough to stop him from eating Qiu Xin’s horrible soup, he would’ve had nightmares.

Xia Yan couldn’t help but stick out her tongue at the horrible taste of the chicken soup. After cleaning up, it was already past 1 am. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, but she was picky about where she slept.

But she couldn’t get a good night’s rest since she was unfamiliar with her environment. She also didn’t remove her mast for caution’s sake. Just as she was finally getting sleepy, the door opened.

Xia Yan was shocked and jumped up from the bed. Mo He was also shocked when he saw Xia Yan jumping from the bed. The woman didn’t expect her husband to return to her room. She sat on the bed and hugged her blanket tightly as she asked, “W-What are you going to do?”

Mo He frowned and looked at Xia Yan’s guarded expression. “This is my room, so naturally, I came here to sleep.”

“Y-You’re going to sleep here?” Xia Yan asked nervously as her voice trembled. Mo He raised his eyebrows and noticed Xia Yan’s nervousness. Then he suddenly felt the need to tease her.

Mo He approached the bed and stared into Xia Yan’s alluring eyes. “Didn’t you ask me to come to bed early?” He said, deliberately leaning toward Xia Yan.

The faint feminine fragrance once again drifted into Mo He’s nose. This time, he was sure that it came from Xia Yan. Mo He’s sudden approach made Xia Yan even more anxious. “I-I just said that for fun!”

Mo He looked at Xia Yan’s blinking eyes and revealed a playful smile. He reached out and gently touched the woman’s face. Xia Yan instinctively back paddled and avoided Mo He’s hand.

However, Mo He wasn’t angry. He only straightened his body and glanced at Xia Yan before turning around. Then he walked toward the wardrobe. “Since this is my room, it’s only natural that I come here to sleep.”

“Don’t worry. With how you look, I won’t do anything to you. As I said, so long as you don’t leave this room, you will be the young madam of the Mo family. It would be best if I never catch you outside of this room. Do you understand?” Mo He picked up his change of clothes as he said this.

Mo He looked at Xia Yan profoundly and walked into the bathroom without waiting for her reply. Meanwhile, Xia Yan heard water splashing around in the bathroom, so she nervously grabbed her blanket and gulped her saliva.

With how Mo He was, Xia Yan should be safe for the time being. In that case, Xia Yan wrapped herself in the blanket and tightly closed her eyes.
