Inside the purple hibiscus gauze curtains, he held her hand tightly and fell into a deep sleep. The moonlight lingered, illuminating a spring night.

As the sun rose at noon, Yan Ning slowly opened her eyes and found that Fu Kang'an had already woken up and was staring at her.

"You were awake a long time ago? Why didn't you wake me up?" Yan Ning saw that she was covered with a thick quilt and tried to push it off.

“Sleeping fully covered and clothed makes you more susceptible to catching a cold!” Fukang’an got up and pressed down on Yan Ning’s fidgeting hands.

"Someone come here!"

Zhu Xiang and Mei Xiang were already waiting outside. Upon hearing Fukang'an's command, they pushed open the door and entered. After helping the two women wash up, Lan Xiang and Ju Xiang brought out the meal. Because Yan Ning had a leg injury, Fukang'an had them place the meal by the bedside.

After finishing his meal, Fukang'an watched the servants clear away the food and said, "We'll get married once Delin is fully recovered!" There was no hint in his tone that he wanted to discuss it with Yan Ning.

Yan Ning stared at Fukang'an in astonishment, speechless for a moment.

"This servant greets Consort Ning!" Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju knelt on the ground and congratulated Yan Ning.

"I don't want to be a concubine!" Yan Ning was stunned by her own words. She didn't covet the position of the general's wife; she was afraid of becoming the second Xiang'er.

Seeing a hint of surprise in Fukang'an's eyes, Yan Ning knew he had misunderstood her, so she hugged Fukang'an who was sitting next to her. "I don't want any title, and I don't want to be one of your many concubines. I just want things to be like this, with only the two of us in our world, without the General's wife, without Aunt Lian, and without all your concubines."

After listening to Yan Ning's story, Fu Kang'an hugged her tightly and promised, "From now on, you will be the only one living in the Fu residence. No other woman will come in. You are my one and only, Madam Ning!"
