Chapter 439 I Like Children Like You

If she failed to protect them at this critical moment and their test results were not ideal, all their hard work over the past three years would have been in vain.

The more Xu Wan thought about it, the more she remembered the details of last night.

Zong Zhao is actually quite gentle.

It was the kind of tenderness that seemed to be endured. When she was very sleepy in the second half of the night, Zong Zhao's body was still very hot, but he still held her tightly and did not move her any further.

But those three times...

It seemed like there was a chance of having a baby every time.

Xu Wan lowered her head to look at her belly, and began to wonder if she was too impulsive yesterday. How could she have been so impulsive when it came to consummating the marriage that she didn't think of any other precautions?

Cui Liu came in with the food, lifted the small table to the bedside, and handed her a bowl of lean meat porridge: "Madam, please eat something light first. It's not advisable to eat too spicy food these days."

"Okay." Xu Wan took it and took two bites. Her expression was obviously not as happy as before.

Cui Liu asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Madam? She was fine just now, but is she missing the general? Do you want me to ask someone to invite him back?"

Xu Wan shook her head and asked, "Cui Liu, do you know...how long the effect of the emergency contraceptive soup is?"

Cui Liu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Twelve hours."

"Twelve hours..." Xu Wan calculated the time. There were only a few hours left from last night to now. The time for boiling the medicine had to be added in between, which made her even more nervous.

She ordered, "Go make me a bowl."

Cui Liu did not dare to move. She asked solemnly, "Madam...Madam, are you sure? The general probably doesn't know about it yet. Do you want to tell him first?"

The general went out so happily in the morning. If he came back and found his wife drinking contraceptive soup, would he misunderstand that his wife didn't like him?

Cui Liu felt that the relationship between the general and his wife was pretty good. She didn't want to see any accidents happen between them, otherwise they, the servants, would also suffer.

Xu Wan said with a smile: "I understand. It will take an hour to boil the medicine. Go ahead and boil it. I will tell him in advance."

She was in such a hurry only because she was afraid of missing the time.

He had no intention of hiding it from Zong Zhao.

Husbands and wives should be honest with each other.

Cui Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I'll ask someone to prepare it. Oh no, I'll go and make it myself."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Cui Liu left, Xu Wan was thinking about how to tell Zong Zhao.

Although her body is hers and she can decide whether to have children or not, if she has disagreements with Zong Zhao right after marriage, it will always have some impact on the relationship between the couple.

Just as she finished her bowl of porridge, Zong Zhao came in from outside with an armful of books. There looked to be more than a dozen of them, which he placed on the large desk.

Zong Zhao saw that she was awake, strode over, squatted beside the bed and asked her: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Why did you get up so early?"

Xu Wan smiled and shook her head, pointing to the sky outside and said, "General, look at the time. It's almost afternoon. How can this be considered early?"

She still had the bowl of porridge in her hand, but had already finished it.

Zong Zhao took it naturally and placed it on the small table beside the bed. He then kissed the corner of her lips and leaned on her shoulder like a child, whispering, "I miss you. I miss you after just being out for a while. I don't want to go out at all."

Xu Wan said, "Then why did you go out and help me choose books? I didn't see you when I got up early, and I thought you...ran away."

"How could you bear to run away?" As Zong Zhao chuckled and murmured, the hot breath from his nose hit her neck, and his small and dense kisses fell on her shoulder. His hot and knotted hands slightly lifted and tore open the clothes she had just put on.

It was not until she felt a chill in front of her that Xu Wan realized that she was being seduced by him again. Her watery eyes flickered slightly, and she grabbed his messy hands and gently scolded him, "You just woke up and haven't left the house yet."

Zong Zhao chuckled twice: "Don't you like taking naps? Let's sleep together for a while."

Xu Wan smiled and patted him: "Are you taking a nap? Be more pure, please. Hurry up and get up. I haven't finished my meal yet."

Zong Zhao failed in his attempt to please her, but he was still in a good mood. He gave her a secret kiss on the face, then sat down on the bed and helped her choose food for the bowl.

Xu Wan arranged her clothes and looked at his serious profile. She couldn't help but ask, "Zong Zhao, if we have a child, will it look like you or me?"

Zong Zhao said without turning his head, "Look like you, I like children who look like you."

"Huh?" Xu Wan asked deliberately, "If it's like you, then you won't like it?"

Zong Zhao reacted belatedly, having fallen into his daughter-in-law's trap. He turned his head and replied solemnly, "As long as the child is born by you, I like him no matter who he looks like."

"Haha..." Xu Wan was amused by him and giggled. She held his face, looked around and said, "I think you look better than me. If someone looks like you, both men and women will definitely look good."

Zong Zhao smiled and said, "It's called beauty in the eyes of the beholder. When I look at you, I also think you are prettier than me."

"Ah? Is it possible?" Xu Wan was convinced.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make them look a little like us. Actually, every time I see Jincheng and Luo Jingfeng, I feel the wonder of the Creator. Although they don't look alike, their personalities are exactly the same. However, they have never met before, and it's purely genetic. So I'm also very curious, who will our child look like, who will his personality be like, and when others see him, will they be able to recognize him as our child at a glance?"

Zong Zhao watched her describe quietly, and the scene was also sketched in his mind. He replied softly: "I have thought about this problem, but it is still difficult for people to recognize the appearance of parents at a glance. Let's try our best to let the child grow up according to the parents' ideas?"

Xu Wan was amused by him again. She sighed, "Whenever I think that it is a child of ours, I feel so happy." She added solemnly, "Zong Zhao, I really like children and I also want to have a child with you."

Zong Zhao ruffled her hair and said, "Me too."

Xu Wan had been preparing for this for so long, and finally said that sentence: "In the three years that I have been with Cheng Cheng, I have gradually treated him as my own child. Watching him grow up step by step and become so outstanding step by step, I feel honored, but also have a great responsibility. The next three or four months will be the most important time for him to prepare for the exam. I don't want to abandon him at this time, so I think... don't get pregnant yet. Wait until after the palace exam and we feel relaxed, then we can prepare for pregnancy properly, okay?"
