After delivering the books, the elderly Princess Consort released her, urging her to return. Cheng'er might be anxious from waiting, and had already sent someone to inquire about her return multiple times.
Hearing this, Su An'an felt even more uneasy. Leaving the elderly Princess Consort's residence, she handed the box to Cui Yan and hastily lifted her skirt to hurry back.
Upon reaching the Wind Pavilion and Water Pavilion, she pushed the door open to find Shen Juncheng sitting alone at the table, quietly sipping tea.
The candlelight fell on his pristine robe, which should have exuded a warm color, yet Su An'an inexplicably shivered and gently called out, "Husband."
He lazily lifted his gaze, his fingers lightly tapping the tabletop, and casually asked, "You're back?"
He was indeed upset; his tone was slightly colder than usual.
Indeed, going out for the first time and returning so late was inappropriate.
