Bab 263: Birthday gift

An Xiulan didn't say anything for a moment and then she lay on the side of the bed while An Qinyan sat near her and caressed the girl's hair. As she was enveloped by the familiar scent and her head felt relaxed when her hair was stroked. In no time, she was asleep there. 

An Qinyan didn't stop stroking her hair even when she fell asleep. A couple of minutes later, Gu Yanxi entered the room and saw An Qinyan stroking An Xiulan's head who was fast asleep in their room. 

As An Qinyan heard his footsteps, she placed a finger on her lips asking him to be quiet. When she was sure that An Xiulan wouldn't wake up, she stood up to walk to her husband who was standing near the window. 

"Do you think she is alright?" Gu Yanxi asked her in a concerned tone. 

"Honestly, I don't know, " An Qinyan whispered. "Something is on her mind. I'm giving her time to come to me and discuss it but she has been keeping it to herself. I wonder where I went wrong."
