Just stepping out of the quiet room, Jing Huilan, who had been keeping watch in the hall, immediately sensed the aura. Her exquisitely delicate face could not help but light up with joy. She hurried to her feet and stepped forward, though the joy in the corners of her eyes faded slightly when she finally laid eyes on that broad, familiar figure she had not seen in months. With a graceful grace, she said, "Judging by my husband's complexion, your gains from this period of seclusion must have been quite substantial."
Shen Ping was in an exceptionally good mood. He walked over to Jing Huilan with a smile, reached out to pull her slender waist into his embrace, lowered his head to press a quick kiss to her forehead, and then nodded, "Indeed, your husband's gains from this seclusion have been immense. You've had a hard time standing guard for me, Lan'er; I must properly reward you for this."
At those words, affection bloomed in the corners of Jing Huilan's eyes.
