After a while, he turned back to her and sat down, reaching out to touch her soft hair. His expression serious, he said, “Wan Wan, I know you married me to repay the kindness of saving your father, but I’m happy. I don’t want to force you. I want to wait until you truly are willing.”
Ning Wan Wan was stunned, not immediately understanding Si Zhan’s words.
Seeing her reaction, Si Zhan thought he had touched a sensitive spot and his eyes dimmed. He was about to leave when Ning Wan Wan grabbed his hand, her watery eyes fixed on him, urgently saying, “Brother Zhan, I am willing.”
Si Zhan trembled, slowly turning around, joy flooding his eyes. “You? Say it again.”
Ning Wan Wan blushed, looking up with wet eyes and a hint of seduction. She parted her lips, her voice alluring, “Brother Zhan… I… I don’t want you to go.”
Si Zhan’s restraint crumbled. He cupped her face and pressed a long kiss on her forehead. Ning Wan Wan closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling softly.
Si Zhan gently kissed her eyelashes, and the more he kissed, the more they trembled. He smiled, a pleasure spreading across his face. This Ning Wan Wan, startled and shy, filled him with an incredible feeling.
His kisses brushed her face, tracing along her nose, finally landing on her small lips. Ning Wan Wan closed her eyes, awkwardly responding to Si Zhan…
The night lasted until dawn.
The day was bright, and birds were chirping outside the window.
Ning Wanwan’s consciousness gradually awakened, feeling weak and sore.
“Awake?” came Si Zhan’s chilling laugh from above her.
She opened her eyes to see his divine-like face. Si Zhan smiled gently, propping his head with one hand and twirling a strand of her hair with his finger.
His aggressive gaze made Ning Wanwan’s cheeks flush red. She quickly averted her eyes and asked, “What time is it?”
“Almost noon,” Si Zhan replied casually.
Ning Wanwan was shocked. “So late? Why didn’t you wake me earlier?”
As she tried to get up, Si Zhan pressed her back down gently, saying, “In the Prince of Yi’s residence, you’re the highest-ranking person. You can sleep as long as you want.”
