Chapter 277: Wicked never sleep

Xiuying woke up to an empty and cold bed, she touched the side of the bed and saw Ryuu was not there. She got out of the sheet and tied her nightdress. She looked around only to find Ryuu smoking on the balcony, staring at nothing. 

Xiuying walked in his direction, embracing his body from behind. She asked in a soft voice "Why are you not sleeping?"

Ryuu let her hug him and took another gust of the cigarette. Crushing the cigarette with the flower pot, he replied. "Wicked never sleeps." 

"Neither do the wealthy," Xiuying retorted. 

"But you were sleeping fine," Ryuu removed her arms, and turned around to look at her.

Xiuying laughed, "I'm no wealthy woman. People think that I'm but I'm just a daughter of a wealthy father and wife of an even more wealthy husband. I'm worth nothing if separated from my husband and father."
