Chapter 287 - 285: Escaping His Control
A night passed without words.
The moment Shen Qinghe opened her eyes the next day, she saw Xiao Chen sitting by the bed looking at her. This time she was neither shocked nor angry, and calmly said, "Isn’t it inappropriate for Big Senior Brother to enter the bedroom I reside in without my permission?"
"You seem to have slept quite soundly," Xiao Chen said, looking at Shen Qinghe with a scrutinizing gaze.
He checked Shen Qinghe’s pulse and found that she had no spiritual energy in her body, but he was still worried that she might slip out of his control.
According to his understanding of her, she was not the kind of person who lacked fighting spirit when faced with adversity.
"Does Big Senior Brother wish for me to have slept restlessly?" Shen Qinghe got out of bed as if it were nothing.
Although she had only cultivated in her dreams for a short time the day before, she felt the effects were significant. She felt strength in her steps as she walked, no longer like before when she seemed as if someone had drained the tendons from her hands and feet, leaving her body limp and powerless.
However, in front of Xiao Chen, she still had to put on an act.
Xiao Chen watched Shen Qinghe’s staggering steps with a thoughtful look, secretly thinking that he might be over-worrying. Shen Qinghe had been under his watch the whole time, and she slept soundly last night. How could she possibly pull any tricks under his watchful eye?
From that day on, Shen Qinghe spent the days walking outside the Side Courtyard accompanied by Shu Xiu. As soon as it got dark, she would go to bed to sleep, maintaining a very regular daily routine.
In the meantime, Xiao Chen had brought a calendar to pick a date for their wedding ceremony. She merely said that she felt weak all over, and looking at those things tired her, so she sent Xiao Chen away.
