Pei Yuhang's mind was in turmoil.
He leaned down and kissed his Dao Companion's ear, letting out a sigh. "Liyuan, I'm truly exhausted right now. Why don't you go bathe first? I just want to get some sleep."
The color instantly drained from Ye Liyuan's upturned face.
Her thick eyelashes quivered anxiously, and she unconsciously bit down on her lower lip, pressing the rosy flesh until a pale, crescent-shaped mark appeared.
"But, Ah Han, we haven't been intimate in so long..."
Ye Liyuan murmured, but the words died on her lips when she saw the exhaustion in Pei Yuhang's eyes.
"Alright, Ah Han. You should get some rest."
She abruptly released her grip. As she lowered her head, her waterfall of dark hair slid over her shoulder, perfectly concealing the sudden lack of focus in her eyes.
Once she turned her back to Pei Yuhang, all vibrant emotion vanished from her face like a receding tide. Her once-innocent gaze gradually grew vacant.
