"When we get back home, I'm going to have a very long, sound sleep for three days and three nights..."
Jean exclaimed dreamily.
"No problem. You can sleep for as long as you like," Zed replied, gazing at her softly with a smile.
"So with everything that has happened, we don't have to change our schedule to Imperial City, do we?"
Jean looked up and asked.
"Yes. Luckily, I haven't informed grandpa yet," said Zed, nodding.
"I think you have an uncanny ability to tell the future. When Wesley chased Yanni last night, I was really worried. But you comforted me, saying that everything would turn out for the better tomorrow. I didn't expect it to be true,"
said Jean, as she followed Zed into the car. She got onto the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt.
"To be honest, I was more surprised than you are. I didn't expect it to turn out like this," Zed said matter-of-factly. Without another second to waste, Zed started the car engine, and they were soon on the road back home. "I have already noticed how affectionate Wesley feels to Yanni," he continued, heaving a deep sigh. "When Yanni knew she had spat out the truth during Wesley's hypnosis, she was obviously so humiliated and angry. Then when she ran out, Wesley chased after her.
He must have confessed to her. I'm pretty sure Yanni must have been touched one way or another by his confession. Even if she didn't say yes, she at least knew how Wesley felt for her. I don't think any of us expected things to turn out this way. Luckily, Yanni was able to clear her mind at that moment."
"It's just that the costs were a little bit too high, though," Jean sighed.
"It had to be. If Wesley wanted to win the beauty, he must pay the price,"
said Zed as he laughed.
"Zed, am I your beauty?" asked Jean as she blinked at Zed.
Zed was slightly taken aback, and soon understood what she meant. He laughed heartily.
His response made Jean pout at him. "Although I am not as breathtakingly beautiful as
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams.

love wasn't as good and romantic as compared to others.
'Does our relationship go too smoothly?'
Jean recalled what she had said to Zed earlier. Indeed, it sounded as if she wanted Zed to have a car accident.
'What am I even thinking?!'
Jean didn't want to continue her wild imagination.
Her mind was in a mess.
She went back to the dining room and continued her meal.
Soon, Zed walked in hurriedly and planted a goodbye kiss on Jean's cheek.
Jean watched Zed leave as if she was in a dream. Shortly afterwards, she came back to her senses and started chewing her bread.
After she finished, she walked upstairs with a full stomach.
Then she enjoyed a cozy hot bath, put on her pajamas and threw herself into the bed, satisfied.
Soon her drowsy eyes closed and went into a dream...
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Yanni walked into the ward, and saw Wesley trying to sit up.
She hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him. "You are not allowed to move right now. Stay still in bed..."
"I am also a doctor..." Wesley gave out a bitter chuckle, looked at Yanni and said in a feeble voice, "I just woke up. I feel like my bones are shattered. I would feel worse if I don't move."
Hearing Wesley's words, Yanni's eyes turned red and said guiltily, "I'm sorry. If I hadn't pushed you, you wouldn't..."
