Shen Chuwei raised her head to look at Xiao Jinyan, pointing to the Night Pearl and said, "Your Highness, look how beautiful the light from the Night Pearl is."
Xiao Jinyan turned her in his arms to face him directly and reminded her again, "When we're alone, call me Jinyan."
Shen Chuwei wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan's neck, with her round belly pressed against his, and she said, "It's been so long since I last called you that, it feels a bit unfamiliar now."
Xiao Jinyan thought about it and agreed; they had been apart for five months, which was too long.
"We've been separated for five months, and yet you stared at the Night Pearl unwilling to look away."
Perhaps it was the gentle glow of the Night Pearl, but she found Xiao Jinyan's gaze at that moment unusually tender.
"I'm looking at you now, aren't I?"
Xiao Jinyan huffed, "Too late."
