Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Fiancée

Fingers touched the silk fabric. Ji Wei lowered her head and realized she was wearing pajamas, not entirely naked as she had feared.

Gu Moqian explained calmly, "You were drenched in sweat. I thought soaking in water might make you feel better."

The temperature of the water had been adjusted by him—neither too hot nor cold—and would not let her catch a chill.

"...Thank you."

Feeling a bit embarrassed by her earlier misjudgment, Ji Wei lowered her gaze slightly.

Indeed, soaking in the water eased the burning heat inside her and made her discomfort more bearable.

Her lowered gaze lacked the usual arrogance she carried, instead showing a softer, more delicate side of her.

Her hair, like seaweed, was wet and naturally draped over her face. Her cheeks, warmed by the steam, glowed faintly red. As her eyes lowered slightly, her lashes trembled ever so lightly, like feathers fluttering onto his heart, sending ripples through it.
