“Since you’re not feeling well, Sword One can attend to you in the main hall, and I’ll sleep in the wing room. Just call me if you need anything,” Zhou Huaijin stated directly.
They had recently married, and Zhou Huaijin longed to fall asleep with Gu Chaoyan in his arms. However, recent events had left him feeling unsettled.
But…
He wasn’t sure if Chaoyan’s reaction was a result of his actions, he didn’t want to take any chances. He prioritized her well-being above all else, and there would be ample opportunities for them to spend time together in the future.

On one hand, she didn’t fully understand the cause of her current condition. On the other hand, if Huaijin stayed with her, he might not have a restful sleep.
For the time being, this arrangement seemed appropriate.
Fengxian Palace was larger than Xinlin Mansion, but Gu Chaoyan wasn’t accustomed to having many people around her. Therefore, Sword One was the only one who would stay by her side overnight.

Her anxiety grew with each passing moment, wondering if it was somehow connected to her being Phoenix Girl.
None of these developments boded well.
Considering Zhou Huaijin’s unwavering devotion from the very beginning, it was disheartening that such an issue arose on their wedding night.
