Pei Yansi pushed open the door and stepped out; the moment he opened the door, he saw Shen Heyu standing outside.
She was looking down, seemingly engrossed in listening, until he had opened the door. Only then did she react, lifting her head to look at him.
In Shen Heyu's eyes, there wasn't the panic that Pei Yansi had expected. Instead, there was a calm, like the still waters of an ancient well, as if she had heard nothing of what just transpired.
She merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned to leave.
Pei Yansi frowned as he watched her retreating figure, and he quickly followed her.
Upon entering the bridal chamber and closing the door, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He held her from behind, his arms crossed over her abdomen, and whispered into her ear, "You heard everything, didn't you?"
