Was he apologizing?
Apologizing to whom?
Perhaps this was why his illness often flared up.
Qiao Nian wanted to retract her hand and leave, but his grip was too tight. She gave up.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Qiao Nian grew sleepy and fell asleep on her side.
The servants in the house were also afraid of waking them up, so they did not dare to approach.
Slowly, night fell.
In a daze, Gu Zhou opened his eyes. All he could see was darkness.
He had just moved his hand when he felt a faint softness in his palm. Under the moonlight, he saw that he had been holding Qiao Nian's hand. His expression changed and he hurriedly let go.
Qiao Nian casually took her hand aside. In a daze, she fell asleep again.
Gu Zhou's expression darkened. Had he actually fallen asleep on the sofa with Qiao Nian?
How was this possible?
How could he let his guard down around an outsider?
