Xia Wan'an considered for a moment, then assuming a detached manner, she gave a slight nod and said, "Oh". She pointed towards the bedroom door and left him with a "Then I'll go in first" before he could say anything and hurried into the bedroom.
With the door closed, Xia Wan'an stood against the door panel, clutching her wildly beating heart for a long moment before finally calming down.
Behind the door, it was serene, she listened carefully for a long while but could not hear any noise.
She thought, he might have already left, and once again, she was the only one left in the spacious house...
Leaning against the door for a moment, she put away her dejected emotions and headed towards the dressing room.
She had bathed and done her skincare at the spa, so she, after changing into her sleepwear, laid down straight on the bed
Perhaps it was because she had run into him earlier this evening, followed by his subsequent return home. Even though she was not thinking about anything, her heart was still in turmoil. Hence, she tossed and turned for a long while before finally falling asleep.
Even though she fell asleep, she didn't sleep soundly, her dreams were turbulent, repeatedly showing the same scene: At fifteen, she wore a pretty dress her mother brought back from Hong Kong, going to look for Zhijin. That day, she and Zhijin and Youman had agreed to go watch a movie together, when she burst through the gates of the Han family, she saw a black sedan parked in the yard which she thought was the same one that the Han family driver used to chauffeur Zhijin around. Without thinking, she ran over to open the door, she pulled at it for a long time and the door didn't open, she began to fuss, half joking and half dissatisfied: "Zhijin, open the door. If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry. Listen, if I really get angry this time, even if you call my dad, I won't forgive..."
She hadn't finished speaking when the car window in front of her rolled down, revealing a face that was just as young as Zhijin's, but the face was more perfect and exquisite than Zhijin, who was pursued as the school hunk.
She stared at that face, dumbstruck for a moment, and after three seconds, thinking about what she had just said, her face turned beet red.
She was the typical type who would act high and mighty at home, with Zhijin, she spoke without restraint, but in front of strangers, she was somewhat embarrassed...
But luckily, Zhijin appeared soon after he broke the awkwardness surrounding her, "This is my young uncle, three years older than me. Young Uncle, this is Wan'an, my classmate."
The young man in the car didn't show much of a reaction. He didn't even spare her a glance, he merely nodded at Zhijin and said casually, "And here I was thinking he was your new dad..."
A single sentence left Xia Wan'an so embarrassed that she could not lift her head.
Zhijin hurriedly spoke up for Xia Wan'an, "Young Uncle, you shouldn't tease her like that, Wan'an can be sensitive..."
"Oh..." He responded, then he looked at Xia Wan' An.
It was the first time that Xia Wan'an saw his eyes. They were breathtakingly captivating, to the point where they scared her and had her forget how she had left the Han family estate following Zhijin...
It wasn't until they were almost at the cinema that she came back to herself. That day he was wearing a white T-shirt, and for some reason, a phrase came to her mind, "Who is his young man in white?" Could it be that he is her young man in white?
Times have changed, and she ended up marrying him. Can she say she fulfilled her dream?
While she was dreaming, Xia Wan'an felt something was not right around her. She felt someone forcibly devouring her skin, the pain caused her to frown and brought her out of her sleep. She had not yet had the chance to open her eyes when she felt a significant force entering her world...

The new book of '19 came much earlier than before, the story will be very different from the previous ones, but the style of writing cannot change, it's characteristic of an author, perhaps a mix of sweetness and torment, the female lead's unrequited love in the beginning could be a tad tormenting, as for the rest, no spoilers, the rest can be found by patient reading~~~ Wishing everyone a happy reading, the familiar request is here again: asking for recommendation tickets~
