Yan Qing's words "there's plenty of time in the future" completely comforted Ling Hua.
As it turns out, she could indeed fall asleep. Being held in Yan Qing's arms, inhaling his scent, she felt secure and steady; she could sleep soundly.
From the first encounter at the foot of Qiyun Mountain, it turned out he intervened after many years of secretly observing her. All the things she thought—Yan Qing's reluctance to marry, her feelings for him being more than his for her, and her guilt for disturbing his life—none of them existed. So why would she feel insecure or unable to sleep?
The downfall of the entire Ling Family wasn't his fault. He shouldn't be blamed just because he didn't follow the "Book of Prophecies" to kill the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.
