Leng Yuan, afraid of what might happen if he held her any longer, quickly set Gu Jiaojiao down on the bed. "I'm going out for a bit. You should get some rest."
With that, he strode quickly out of the room.
The moment he stepped outside, a blast of cold wind hit his face, instantly sobering him.
'It's really cold out at night. He just ran out like that... won't he freeze?'
'And he still hasn't told me about that shady loan!'
With that in mind, Gu Jiaojiao decided to wait up for Leng Yuan.
She waited and waited, until she eventually fell asleep.
Gu Jiaojiao simply couldn't stay awake any longer. She fell asleep, and still, Leng Yuan hadn't returned.
Meanwhile, Leng Yuan was at the riverbank with a bucket and a fishing net, catching fish.
He knew Jiaojiao's constitution was too delicate to handle him, so he had come out to catch some fish to help build up her strength.
'This way, we won't have to worry about this problem in the future.'
