章節 264: How To Charm A Lady

Duke Li Shenyang was the first to notice the distress in Xueyue's eyes. She was paler than usual. His lips dipped into a disapproving frown. He made up his mind to call for a doctor before he leaves for his morning work. It was time for her to get used to bitter herbal tonics. At least she'd sleep better with it.

"You've barely touched your food," Duke Li Shenyang pointed out. His tone was gentle and reassuring. He didn't want to overwhelm her or make it seem he was angered by her lack of appetite.

"I'm not hungry today," Li Xueyue said. She tried her best to sound cheerful in hopes of not raising any concerns. 

Li Xueyue placed her chopsticks down. "I'm sorry, I had a rough night," she admitted. "Do you mind calling for the doctor?"

"Of course," Duke Li Shenyang warmly responded. "I was planning on doing that."

Li Xueyue smiled in appreciation. "Thank you, Father."
