He was so oblivious he didn't even know when a maid who served tea and water had appeared in his study. He thought Manxue must have arranged it!
Chun Xing's seduction had no effect on him whatsoever, and she was getting anxious.
The Marquis is a young and vigorous man; he can't possibly be uninterested!
It must be that my approach is wrong!
After much thought, Chun Xing decided to risk it all for her future and make a bold move!
That day happened to be Xia Tingfeng's turn for duty. His shift was in the first half of the night, so it was already the latter half when he returned from the palace.
Manxue was pregnant and feeling unwell. Visiting her at this time would inevitably disturb her rest, so he decided to make do with staying in his study for the night.
Since this wasn't the first time, the bed in his study was fully equipped with bedding and covers. The room was warmed by a charcoal brazier, so it wasn't cold. Moreover, as a martial artist, he wasn't afraid of the cold.
