The person in his arms had almost no weight, just a soft and delicate ball. Yu Qizhe held her in his arms and went to turn off the lights before walking towards the bed.

Her eyes suddenly fell into darkness, and she felt herself being placed on the bed. Yu Jiao subconsciously tried to move to the inside of the bed, but before she could move, a big hand touched her waist.

Yu Qizhe lay down beside her, holding her waist, holding her in his arms, and said softly in the darkness: "Go to sleep."

Yu Jiao nestled in his arms, feeling Yu Qizhe's hands gently stroking her hair and patting her on the back. In such a warm and peaceful atmosphere, she gradually relaxed and fell asleep.

Feeling the breathing of the person in his arms become steady, Yu Qizhe let out a long breath, pulled the quilt over, draped it over both of them, and then fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, when Yu Jiao woke up, she was still nestled in Yu Qizhe's arms. The room was filled with morning light. He was flipping through a book in his hand, as if he had woken up a long time ago.

"Awake?" Yu Qizhe put down the book in his hand and asked gently, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Yu Jiao shook her head. If she continued sleeping, the sun would burn her butt.

She yawned and sat up lazily. She felt inexplicably that she had become much lazier after getting married.

Yu Qizhe got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Yu Jiao also got out of bed, took the clothes she was going to wear, changed into them and rinsed her mouth. Jianjia heard the noise and knew that she had gotten up, so she came in and tied up Yu Jiao's hair.

When Yu Qizhe came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting in front of the dressing mirror which was filled with morning light. The soft morning light made her small face look as delicate as grease. The small red mole at the corner of her eye moved with her blinking, making her look charming and lovely.

Seeing Jianjia was about to put a hairpin in her hair, Yu Qizhe said, "Go and set the table."

Jianjia retreated in response. Yu Qizhe walked behind Yu Jiao, leaned over and half-embraced her, reached out and picked up a jade hairpin from the dressing box, and asked, "This one?"

Yu Jiao nodded at him in the bronze mirror. She was wearing a sky-blue jacket and a light green pleated skirt today, which went very well with the jade hairpin.

Yu Qizhe inserted the hairpin into her bun and smiled: "It looks good."

Yu Jiao's face turned red, and then her chin was pinched by two fingers. She raised her head along with the force, and a warm kiss fell on the corner of her eye. Yu Jiao felt the skin at the end of her eye suddenly became hot, and she smelled the scent of tooth chips between his lips and teeth.

Yu Qizhe moved away slightly and touched the small red mole at the corner of her eye with his fingertips. The light red mole immediately turned as red as if it was stained with blood.

His fingertips were warm and rough. Yu Jiao's heart beat wildly when he looked at her like this. She inexplicably felt that his deep, dark eyes seemed to be burning with dark fire, which was very frightening.

Seeing Yu Jiao's ears turn red, Yu Qizhe chuckled and murmured, "What should I do if I'm always so thin-skinned?"

Then he lowered his head and bit her lips gently, "Grow up quickly."

Yu Jiao understood what he meant, and her face became even hotter. The place on her lips where he had bitten her felt numb. She turned her face away and retorted in a very low voice, "In my two lifetimes combined, I am much older than you..."

"What?" Yu Qizhe didn't hear clearly.

Yu Jiao quickly shook her head, "Nothing, do you still have official business to do today?"

"It should be fine. I'll stay at home with you." Yu Qizhe said.

At this time, Jianjia brought in breakfast with her maid. Yu Qizhe took Yu Jiao to the outer room for breakfast. There was still steamed goat's milk, and two bowls were placed in front of Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao felt full after eating two steamed dumplings and drinking two bowls of goat's milk, and was coaxed by Yu Qizhe to eat a small piece of fried dough cake.

After breakfast, Jianjia came over and said, "The shop manager came here early in the morning and is waiting outside. If you want to see me now, I will arrange for them to go to the front hall."

Yu Jiao nodded and explained to Yu Qizhe, "They are the managers of the dowry shop and your betrothal gift shop. They were called over to identify the people and check the accounts in the shops."

Yu Qizhe said, "I'll go with you." The shop included in his betrothal gift was run by Lu Jin, and he had not noticed what kind of business it did before.

The two of them went to the front hall together, but before Yu Qizhe sat down, Liuzi came over and said, "Sir, someone from Prime Minister Shen's residence wants to see you."
