Following this little – and weirdly shocking – encounter, there was nothing more they could do, not with the rule that forbade them from leaving the room. Nian went to lock the bridal shoes in the drawer again just in case. Each occupied with their own thoughts, the two of them returned to the bed to catch up on some sleep.
Of course, Jin Jiuchi raised his protest because how was he supposed to sleep knowing that Miss Zhao had returned and would even drop by without a warning?! But then, Nian forcefully pushed him down to the bed and all words ended up stuck on Jin Jiuchi's throat.
The jade doll pinned him down, his purple eyes burning in embers. "Sleep!"
