Before she knew it, she drifted off into a hazy, muddled sleep.

Because there was a new little one in the house, Xue Feimo finished up everything early and returned to the villa on the estate.
Even though last night's sleep was pretty good, the weariness was still obvious on his face.
"Young master, there are still two hours until dinner. You can take a break first if you'd like."
Xue Feimo nodded, asking in a calm tone, "Where's the kid?"
"..." The butler was stunned for a second, then quickly understood, "Miss Luo is resting in your room, young master. She probably hasn't woken up yet. Should I invite her down to eat with you?"
Xue Feimo paused as he changed his shoes, a faint crease appearing between his brows, "I'll go myself."
"Yes, sir." The butler gave him a motherly smile.
The young master is already twenty-eight, definitely at marriageable age.
Miss Luo might only be eighteen, but that's fine, the young master can wait another two years.
It was so hard to find a sleeping pill without side effects—everyone's determined to help the young master guard it well.
Xue Feimo glanced at the butler, "Is there something happy going on in your family?"
"...No?" The butler was taken aback.
"Then why are you grinning like the Laughing Buddha?"
Xue Feimo finished speaking, not bothering to see what the butler's reaction was, and went upstairs on his own.
The butler finally got it, feeling wronged, "Young master, I'm not that fat!"

Upstairs
Xue Feimo hesitated for a moment at the door, then finally pushed it open.
The instant the door opened, the unfamiliar atmosphere made him feel a bit repulsed.
Lowering his gaze, he immediately spotted a sprawled-out figure on his big bed.
The bed and the floor were littered with scattered sheets of A4 paper.
Xue Feimo frowned, raising his foot as he walked over.
He detested any trace of mess or chaos in his territory.
He picked up the papers one by one, just about to leave.
Then he suddenly saw that a signing pen had bled a cloud of black ink onto the bedsheet.
Xue Feimo clenched the papers tightly, his expression darkening like storm clouds.
He narrowed his eyes at the deeply asleep Luo Tiantian, considering whether he should toss her out.
Right then, Luo Tiantian, who'd been sleeping soundly, suddenly jolted awake.
"Ah!" she screamed, bolting upright in bed.
Still half-asleep, she opened her eyes to find Xue Feimo glaring at her with a stormy face.
Luo Tiantian shuddered, her brain suddenly clearing up like glue being peeled off. "What are you doing here?"
"This is my room." Xue Feimo replied coolly.
Facing Xue Feimo's predatory glare, Luo Tiantian felt enormous pressure.
But she still tried to carve out a little personal space for herself, "Well, uh... The second floor is huge, there should be plenty of other rooms..."
Luo Tiantian hadn't even finished before Xue Feimo interrupted, "Pfft."
He looked at his bargain fiancée and let out a soft laugh, "Why should I?"
"..." Luo Tiantian was at a loss for words.
She pressed her lips together, her mind working fast.
A cunning glint flashed in her lively doe eyes, "Could it be that you 'really want' to sleep next to me?"
She hinted deliberately, looking like she'd finally gained the upper hand in a hopeless situation.
Xue Feimo suddenly got a little interested.
"Oh?" Xue Feimo looked at Luo Tiantian, reminding her one word at a time, "We're engaged. The papers are signed and stamped."
Luo Tiantian: "..."
Before she could react, Xue Feimo grabbed the signing pen beside him, pausing slightly.
Standing up, he set the A4 papers and the pen on the nightstand, then lifted the covers and got into bed.
"!!!" Luo Tiantian was completely startled.
She quietly scooted herself further to the edge of the bed, then scooted a little more…
