Chapter 344 Turning Side to Side

Xu Wan thought she was pretty good at judging people, but she was really screwed when she met Zong Zhao. How did she think this guy, who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement, had a good temper?

Fortunately, Zong Zhao has a rational temper, otherwise the little devil would be so happy to set off firecrackers in the house every day if he met such a father who is good at using violence and always wants to vent his anger.

The dark pupils looked over, and Zong Zhao said seriously: "Go wherever you want in the future, don't worry about others. If they come to trouble you again, I will support you."

Xu Wan was stunned and looked at him blankly.

This seemed to be the first time that someone had made such a solemn promise to her. It was different from the feeling of the little devil yelling at her to support her waist every day, but she couldn't tell what was different. She just felt like her heart was gently tickled by a claw and it was a little itchy.

After a long while, Xu Wan smiled and said, "No need, no one will bother me. Everyone has their own life to live, so who has the time to think about making things difficult for others every day?"

The moonlight shines in beside the small couch.

Zong Zhao saw her figure clearly. She was only wearing a nightgown, with her feet bare on the floor. She was in such a hurry to get out of bed that she didn't even wear shoes.

Late June was the hottest time of the year, just after the Great Heat. However, there were ice cubes in the house to cool down, and the cool air on the ground was also relatively strong, easily invading the body. Zong Zhao's eyes darkened, and he quickly picked her up and walked towards the bed.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Wan was suddenly picked up by him, and their bodies were pressed against each other. The smell of the man's male hormones hit her face, which was strange, but smelled good.

Her heart was beating loudly, but she couldn't tell whether it was his or hers.

"You weren't wearing shoes and the ground was too cold," he explained.

"Oh...oh, yes." Xu Wan stuttered, "Thank you..."

Zong Zhao put her down on the bed, pulled a thin blanket over her, then sat down beside the bed and said, "I'll stay here and talk to you. I'll leave when you want to go to sleep."

Xu Wan thought to herself: With your bad temper and your quietness, it seems that you are not qualified for the job of a chat companion.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Well... tonight I finally discovered two shortcomings of Zong Zhao. Otherwise, I always felt that he was too perfect to be real.

Zong Zhao saw her and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Wan teased him deliberately: "I'm laughing at you, you're very funny."

Zong Zhao: “…”

This adjective is really unpopular when used to describe him.

Xu Wan looked at the man beside the bed and asked with interest: "Zong Zhao, you were missing for ten years, and you were fighting at the border for only two years. Where were you for the remaining eight years? Were you also always at the border?"

Zong Zhao never mentioned this issue, and his mother-in-law and the others didn't seem to have asked about it either. I don't know if they talked about it in private, but he seems to be quite mysterious, doing big things without saying a word.

Zong Zhao replied, "Not all of them were at the border. When Zong Yan and I were involved in an incident, I was injured and unconscious for seven years. I woke up three years ago and have been looking for an antidote for His Highness since then."

Xu Wan was stunned and asked, "Ah? You knew that His Highness was poisoned so early? Have you contacted His Highness?"

"No," Zong Zhao shook his head and said, "He didn't know I was still alive, but after Jin Cheng was nearly strangled to death by Luo Jingfeng, he guessed it. That's why he taught Jin Cheng secretly, just to make our future path easier."

Xu Wan was puzzled and asked, "I don't understand, how did Jin Cheng guess that you were still alive when he was in trouble? Are these two things related?"

Zong Zhao told her: "Yan Suxue, I wrote to my mother and asked her to find her back."

Xu Wan widened her eyes: "!!"

What a big melon!

Xu Wan suddenly realized: "No wonder my mother-in-law only thought of looking for her three years ago. I was wondering why she only knew about her existence so late. It turned out to be you. It turned out that you wrote a letter to tell my mother-in-law!"

Zong Zhao nodded and said, "Before he died... Zong Yan told me that he always had sexual dreams with a young girl. I thought it was just my imagination, but then the dream became more and more frequent and more and more real, so he asked me to help him find it."

Xu Wan said with a trembling voice: "In the end, we really found it, and there is also a Wen Xiu."

"If Zong Yan knew, he would definitely be very happy." Zong Zhao said lightly.

Xu Wan was also very sad, but she didn't want Zong Zhao to be sad, so she changed the subject and said, "So, through this incident, His Highness guessed that you might have returned, but you just haven't shown up yet."

Zong Zhao remained silent and did not reply to her.

The reason why His Highness was sure that he was still alive should also include the fact that she married into the Marquis's Mansion to teach Jin Cheng, but if he told this, she would probably ask him why he wanted to marry her.

Because... Because...

He couldn't say it yet.

Fortunately, Xu Wan did not notice his inner struggle, but misunderstood: "Then your father-in-law said that he dreamed of you asking for a wife. It shouldn't be the letter you wrote. You are not coming back, so why would you want to get a wife? It must be that your father-in-law and mother-in-law saw that you are not young anymore, so they wanted to arrange a marriage for you first, so that you will have a ready-made wife when you come back."

Zong Zhao remained silent.

He even wondered how to explain it to her in the future.

Xu Wan asked again: "Do you think they are meddling in your affairs? After all, you didn't choose your wife."

Although in ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, some enlightened families would still let the man and woman meet and simply get to know each other. When she and Zong Zhao first met, they were already married for many years.

When they first met...was he satisfied with her? Was it really love at first sight?

After a while, Zong Zhao looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I think you are the best, no one can compare to you."

Xu Wan felt her face suddenly turn red, her cheeks were burning, and heat kept coming out.

Oh my god, what's the difference between what he said and confession? Does he still think he's being reserved?

It was one thing for Xu Wan to guess it herself, and it was another thing to hear him say it out loud. She was so flustered that she didn't know how to respond. She just turned her head towards the bed like a quail.

Noticing that his gaze had not yet moved away, Xu Wan pulled the quilt over her head and said hurriedly, "It's too late. I'm going to sleep. You, you should also go to sleep quickly."

Zong Zhao replied, "Call me if you have anything else. You don't have to come down."

"I know, I know. You should go to bed soon." Xu Wan glanced at the wall and urged him with her back to him.

Zong Zhao got up and left, continuing to sleep on his couch.

Xu Wan crawled out from under the quilt, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and thought to herself: It's so hot in summer.

She covered her heart and cursed inwardly: It's hot, but why are you jumping up and down? It's just a confession. It's not like you haven't heard of it before...

But she changed her mind and remembered that the last person she heard confessing his love to was Chen Yunyu. Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured down on her. Xu Wan had had enough.

When it comes to cooling down, she is the one who has to do it. Xu Wan quickly adjusted her mentality, turned over and went to sleep... but she couldn't fall asleep.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Zong Zhao's face and the words he had said. But when she opened her eyes, she could not fall asleep. She tossed and turned like this, unable to find a suitable sleeping position.

The man on the couch didn't move at all, and it was unknown whether he was asleep or not.

Xu Wanjian wanted to scratch her head. The person who was talking didn't respond at all. What was she doing here scratching her ears and cheeks for half the night?

But it was so strange. She had always considered Zong Zhao her roommate, but whose roommate confessed to her? How could the roommate who confessed to her sleep in the same room as if nothing had happened? She felt something was wrong.
