Chapter 17 - Checking on Him

That night, it was growing late and Shen Er still hadn't returned home.

I finally couldn't suppress my growing anxiety and decided to head to the study hall myself.

I tried to rationally convince myself: I'm his wife. I'll just take a quick look from afar to make sure everything is alright. What's the harm in that?

The carriage rolled to a stop outside the hall. I started to poke my head out the window—then froze.

What exactly am I doing? My face suddenly flushed red in the dark. Was I checking up on him like a jealous, suspicious wife? Was there really any need for this?

We're husband and wife on paper, but I don't actually have the right to control his movements, do I?

"Young Madam." Xiao Luo gave my sleeve an insistent tug. "The soup you brought for him will get cold. Let's hurry inside."

I instantly seized the excuse, my confidence flooding back. Right! I was just a dutiful wife here to deliver hot soup!
