Chapter 823 - 821: Smiled at Her
Lu Tingli walked towards the bedroom while asking, "Has the Queen gone to sleep?"
The maid glanced at the extinguished candle and replied respectfully, "Replying to the Prince, the Queen has likely gone to sleep."
"I’ll go take a look." Lu Tingli quickened his pace, his steps breezing as if he couldn’t wait any longer.
Upon entering the room, Lu Tingli saw Xia Ningxing leaning on the bed, her eyes misty as if she had just awoken.
The dim candlelight shone on her stunning face, her ink-black hair cascading down, covering half of her face, and those luminous eyes gazing at him with a slight unusual emotion.
She had heard everything he said to the maid just now.
His concern was earnest and sincere, making her feel that he truly cared about her, not just because it evoked an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It felt warm, tender, almost like love.
"Weren’t you asleep?" Lu Tingli saw her eyes were not fully open yet and approached her, frowning and asking, "Or did I wake you just now?"
For some reason, he no longer referred to himself as "this Prince" in her presence.
"I was woken up," Xia Ningxing yawned.
