Chapter 432 I Only Noticed You

It's a rare opportunity to relax like that.

Xu Wan was eating melon seeds with one hand and turning the pages of a book with the other. The binding of the storybook was different from that of ordinary books. The cover was brightly colored and could be seen at a glance.

Zong Zhao came out of the shower and saw her still reading the book. He walked over and asked, "What book are you reading?"

Xu Wan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Xianshu, you probably aren't interested."

Zong Zhao lowered his head and glanced at the small words on the top of the page, which was also the name of the book: Cuo Zhan Cui Ning.

"This is a story about public cases," Zong Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would read something to relax yourself." I heard that women in Beijing prefer to read love stories.

Xu Wan took the book and looked at it from front to back, then replied, "This is how I relax. The story inside is quite interesting... Oh, that's not right. How did you know this was a public case? Did you guess it?"

Zong Zhao chuckled, "When I was doing the imperial examination, I also had a rough understanding of the storytelling industry. This book is very famous."

Xu Wan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Zhuangyuanlang knows a lot. Jincheng and the others probably don't know anything. I haven't taught them this."

Zong Zhao replied: "It's okay, there's no test anyway."

"cough……"

After Xu Wan finished reading this book, she started to turn to the next one: the heroine eloped with the hero and was caught, the heroine was beaten to death by the villain while pregnant, and then turned into a ghost and came back to marry the hero...

Xu Wan said with tears in her eyes: "How can it be another tragedy? This is all about the love between a human and a ghost..."

Zong Zhao looked at the time and said, "It's almost midnight. Let's not watch it anymore. It doesn't make people feel good."

Xu Wan thought so too, but it was a pity that she didn't see the ending of the book. She waved her hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll quickly flip through it. Maybe it's not a tragedy."

Then the villain came to capture the two again. The female ghost killed the villain and reappeared. The couple said goodbye in tears. Guanyin was moved by them and let them reincarnate again.

Xu Wan closed the book "Nian Yu Guan Yin" as she wished, and fanned herself with her hand to try to hold back her tears: "It's so touching, it's a good ending, they still have a chance to be together."

Zong Zhao lowered his head and asked her, "Do you like reading storybooks?"

Xu Wan nodded and said, "I didn't have much time to read it before, so I didn't read it much. It turns out that the storybook is so interesting. I feel that my emotions have been mobilized by their experiences."

Zong Zhao said, "Tomorrow I'll have someone select some more scripts for you, all with happy endings, so you can feel better after reading them."

Xu Wan said excitedly: "Okay!"

Zong Zhao held out his hand to her: "The time has come, let's go and celebrate the New Year."

It’s called New Year’s Eve, but in fact it’s just New Year’s Eve.

There is no ceremony and you don’t have to do anything. Just close your eyes at the moment the New Year arrives and silently make a New Year wish in your heart.

Xu Wan sincerely made a wish in her heart: "I hope that in the new year: my family members will be healthy, my children will get what they want, and Zong Zhao... Zong Zhao will be well too."

When she opened her eyes, Zong Zhao was looking at her. His gaze was always so focused that her heart would beat wildly every time she saw it.

For some reason, she suddenly asked, "Why do you like me?"

Zong Zhao was startled and replied, "I don't know either, I just like it."

She asked again: "Was it love at first sight?"

Zong Zhao hummed and turned his head away.

Xu Wan thought about their first meeting. She had the mansion's carriage by her side, and Cuizhi was accompanying her, so he could have guessed her identity, but...

Xu Wan tilted her head and said in confusion, "Does love at first sight depend on appearance? I don't think I stand out that much compared to the beauties in the capital... Is it because you've met too few women?"

Zong Zhao frowned, thinking about how to answer.

Xu Wan refuted this statement again: "In the capital, at banquets of all sizes and palace banquets, you can often see many women. I have seen several beauties. They are really beautiful, the kind that I can't even feel jealous of. You must have not noticed them."

He suddenly said, "I only noticed you."

"What?" Xu Wan didn't quite hear.

Zong Zhao said: "There are so many women in the capital, but I can only see you."

Xu Wan couldn't help but raise her lips. She said, "That's because once you come back, you are my husband. Of course, you can only see me. This is the reason for preemption."

"no."

"no?"

It was a long time ago...

Before I got married, I could only pay attention to her.

"You have a very special aura, not only a scholarly aura, but also a kind of aura... that makes people feel at ease and peaceful when they see you," Zong Zhao described.

"Oh, I see. I won by my temperament." Xu Wan's smile became fake.

Zong Zhao realized that he had said something wrong and immediately apologized: "That's not what I meant. You are also very pretty."

Xu Wan nodded and said, "Go on."

"She is talented and as talented as any man."

"He is mild-tempered and likable."

"He is kind, optimistic and warm-hearted."

“…”

Zong Zhao listed her advantages one by one, everything she knew and didn't know, as if in his eyes, she was the most perfect woman.

Xu Wan burst into laughter when she heard the last part. She put her hand on Zong Zhao's shoulder and looked up and said, "Zong Zhao, why do I like you so much?"

"Love life... huh?" Zong Zhao was stunned for a moment before he realized what she said.

She said...she liked him.

Xu Wan looked up with bright eyes, like the most beautiful stars in the sky. She smiled and said, "You are so cute."

Zong Zhao leaned over and kissed her.

This kiss was already familiar to him, but it was more intense than usual. The powerful attack showed the change of his mood, and he seemed to be really happy.

Xu Wan hooked her arm around his neck in response, her chest filled with sweetness. Her hands were still moving around, touching his neck, then his earlobe, only to notice that the man in front of her was getting hotter and hotter.

Xu Wan stepped back a little and said hoarsely, "My neck is sore from looking up, let's go to bed."

"Okay." Zong Zhao's voice was a little hoarse. He put his arms around her waist, picked her up, and kissed her again.

Xu Wan thought he was really crazy, he couldn't help kissing her even when they were walking, but this feeling was quite good, being hugged by someone and not letting go, she felt super safe.

When they got on the bed, Zong Zhao covered himself up.

Kissing while lying on the bed is a very good experience. You don’t have to tilt your neck or stand, and two people of different heights can also kiss fairly.

There is just one downside, it makes you sleepy easily.

Xu Wan's usual routine was to go to bed at 11:00 p.m., but she managed to stay up until 12:00 p.m. today for New Year's Eve. After a while, her eyelids began to droop, and she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, so she fell into a deep sleep.
