Chapter 268 Something's happened... We didn't contact each other.

"today……"

Lin Yan'an spoke in a low voice, but then didn't know what to say.

Should we complain about the outrageous nature of the haunted house? Or should we marvel at the rebirth of that land?

Or perhaps... cherish the peace and tranquility of this moment.

Lin Yan'an lowered his eyes and looked at Zhong Wan's bright eyes. His heart fluttered, and he lowered his head to gently kiss her forehead.

"Very exciting."

He whispered his feelings.

Perhaps I drank a bit too much today, or perhaps the atmosphere is a little intoxicating.

Lin Yan'an felt her head spinning.

He held Zhong Wan tightly in his arms, his head nuzzling affectionately against her neck.

Warm breath sprayed onto Zhong Wan's neck, carrying a faint scent of wine and his unique aroma.

"Wanwan..."

Lin Yan'an's voice became somewhat indistinct, filled with deep weariness: "It's so good to have you here..."

Zhong Wan felt a little ticklish from his rubbing, and listening to his clingy words, she felt quite happy and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

She gently stroked Lin Yan'an's slightly prickly short hair, feeling his unusually affectionate touch, and her heart melted instantly.

Zhong Wan gently got off him, noticing his slightly furrowed brows, and quickly reached out to soothe him by touching his cheek: "I'm here, go to sleep."

"Um."

Lin Yan'an gave a muffled reply, tightened his arms around her, and unconsciously nuzzled her body before his brows relaxed.

In an instant, his breathing became even and deep, and he fell asleep while holding her.

Zhong Wan looked down at his sleeping face, which looked especially adorable as he fell into a deep sleep, and at the faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips, she couldn't help but smile back.

She carefully adjusted her position before reaching for the remote control next to her pillow to turn off the light.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

The moonlight outside the window was like water, shyly hiding itself behind the clouds.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Zhong Wan was fast asleep when she vaguely heard a faint rustling sound coming from outside the door.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened, instinctively turning her head to look at the doorway.

But unexpectedly, she met Lin Yan'an's smiling eyes in an instant.

Did I wake you up?

Lin Yan'an asked in a low voice with concern, his voice still hoarse from just waking up, but his eyes were much clearer, clearly the effects of the alcohol had completely worn off.

Zhong Wan shook her head, snuggled closer to him, and asked curiously, "What's that noise outside?"

What are her parents doing so early in the morning?

"It seems like Dad took Grandpa and the others to the market next door,"

As Lin Yan'an spoke, he reached out and pulled the blanket over her.

Zhong Wan was shocked and puzzled: "Why go there? Besides, there's a market here tomorrow too."

It's the last episode before the new year, and she doesn't believe her dad won't go for a walk.

Lin Yan'an shook his head with a smile. He wasn't a mind reader like Zhong Yuansheng, so how could he possibly know what he was thinking?

Lin Yan'an lowered his head and kissed Zhong Wan's forehead, smiling as he said, "Want to sleep a little longer? It's still early."

Zhong Wan nodded upon hearing this, and then closed her eyes again.

"You should sleep a little longer, there's nothing to do if you get up anyway."

"good."

The two embraced and fell asleep again, drifting off to sleep once more.

She only woke up again when sunlight streamed through the curtains onto the bed and shone brightly on Zhong Wan's face.

Zhong Wan raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight and couldn't help but yawn.

He then turned his head, reached for his phone, and took a look.

It's almost 10 o'clock already.

Lin Yan'an sensed her movement and slowly opened his eyes, mumbling, "What time is it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan casually held up her phone screen in front of Lin Yan'an: "It's almost ten o'clock."

"I wonder if they've come back yet."

No sooner had she finished speaking than He Qilan's voice, which suddenly rose in pitch, came from the courtyard: "What? Arrested by the traffic police?!"

Lin Yan'an and Zhong Wan exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity and shock in each other's eyes. They quickly got up, dressed, and left the room.

In the living room, He Qilan held her phone, looking at Zhong Yuansheng with a speechless expression, and complained, "I've told you eight hundred times to wear your seatbelt while driving, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you got arrested, didn't you?"

After saying that, she quickly followed up with, "Where are Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao? Are they alright?"

"Something came up...we didn't even touch it."

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Yuansheng muttered under his breath, "It's just a short walk, who knows why the traffic police have been checking so strictly these past few days."

“In the past, even if they investigated, they didn’t wear body cameras. It was obvious that they were out to earn extra money. They would just give them some money privately and that would be fine.”

"Who knew you'd have such a complete set of equipment today? You even insisted on giving me a receipt!"

He Qilan rolled her eyes speechlessly and asked irritably, "You got a ticket? What did it say? Should I go to the traffic bureau to deal with it?"

"Um……"

Zhong Yuansheng sensed her anger, and his voice grew softer and softer: "Points deduction, fines, they said it can be handled online."

"Okay, I'll have her handle it for you when Wanwan gets up later!"

After He Qilan finished speaking, she retorted irritably, "You'd better remember this lesson from now on!"

She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, clearly not wanting to hold a grudge against Zhong Yuansheng anymore.

He Qilan was about to get up when she looked up and saw Zhong Wan and the other person coming out. She quickly greeted them, "Yan An, Wanwan is awake? Go eat first. The food is still in the pot, it shouldn't be cold yet."

Zhong Wan smiled and shook her head: "We'll eat later, no rush."

She walked towards He Qilan and asked curiously, "Mom, what did Dad say on the phone just now? What did he want me to handle?"

He Qilan sighed helplessly: "It's all because of your dad. He doesn't wear a seatbelt while driving, and now he's been caught by the traffic police again."

As she spoke, she handed over her phone: "Since you're home, Wanwan, take a look and see how to handle this and pay the fine."

"Your dad is the same. I've told him eight hundred times, but he never thinks through it."

"This time it's really bad. He took Uncle Zhou and Uncle Qin out together, and they were all checked. None of the three of them were wearing seat belts!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan felt both helpless and amused.

She reached out and took He Qilan's phone, skillfully opened the traffic management app on her phone, and began processing the call.

Lin Yan'an sat down next to Zhong Wan and leaned in to look.

Sure enough, I immediately saw the traffic violation record to be processed on the interface: "Driver failed to wear seat belt as required while driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways," followed by the amount of the fine.
