Although Xie Yunzhen was a rogue, once he promised something to Ji Mingzhu, he would not break his word.
He didn't impulsively go to settle accounts with the Xiao Family.
Nor did he say anything else that might disturb Ji Mingzhu.
He just held his wife quietly, accompanying her through a full night's sleep.
This was the most peaceful sleep Mingzhu had had since her amnesia.
It was also the first time since Xie Yunzhen's departure for the battlefield that he could put down his burdens and allow himself to momentarily set aside official duties.
Even with the habits formed on the battlefield, Xie Yunzhen remained alert, even in his dreams.
Moreover, after learning about Mingzhu's experiences, he couldn't fall asleep that night.
He just listened to Ji Mingzhu's breathing, from dusk to when the moon climbed the branches, and until dawn when the sky turned light...
Ji Mingzhu slept so soundly that even the soldiers' training shouts couldn't wake her.
