Chapter 752: Chapter 695: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 3)

Being able to say that he likes her despite her appearance, what is this if not true love?

However, women dress up for those who appreciate them.

She also wants to look beautiful in front of the person she likes, to become the most beautiful scenery in his eyes.

Instead of relying on blind admiration that turns everyone into a beauty in the eyes of a lover.

"Xiao, can you ask mom if there’s a way to make my face quickly stop swelling?" Xia Luo asked with grievance.

Zhan Yunxiao finally understood; she was upset because her face was swollen like this.

Worried that he would not like her because of her appearance.

He felt both sympathetic and amused.

How could he not like her based on appearance alone?

Is he really that superficial?

"I’ll ask mom; she must have a solution. But you don’t need to be too anxious about your looks. I don’t like you just for your appearance. If I liked pretty faces, I could just like myself. Who else could have features as good-looking as mine?"

Zhan Yunxiao said reassuring words to comfort her.

However, in Xia Luo’s ears, these words somehow sounded boastful.

"Are you subtly praising your own good looks?"

Xia Luo pretended to be angry.

Zhan Yunxiao smiled and leaned his face closer: "Don’t I look good?"

Xia Luo looked at Zhan Yunxiao’s exquisite features, his brows and eyes like a painting, as if a celestial being walked out from an ink wash painting.

She lowered her head to kiss his lips and gently said, "Yes, you’re good-looking, especially good-looking."

"How good-looking?"

Zhan Yunxiao was overjoyed but deliberately kept asking, wanting Xia Luo to praise him more.

Xia Luo thought for a while and said with a smile, "When I first saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight."

"Luoluo, I like you too. I also fell in love with you at first sight."

Zhan Yunxiao put his arms around Xia Luo, touched by her words.

Actually, he did not fall in love with Xia Luo at first sight.

Before he knew she was Xiaxia, he didn’t have much feeling for her.

Once he realized she was Xiaxia, his feelings began to change slowly.

Many times, he wondered if she weren’t Xiaxia, would he still like her?

The answer might be no.

All his life, apart from his mother and sister, he never gave any woman special attention.

To him, all women were the same.

Regardless of beauty or ugliness, he felt indifferent.

In this life, the only one who moved him and wasn’t related by blood, was Xiaxia.

So, once he met her again, his heart naturally fell for her once more.

But he didn’t want to tell her these thoughts, only wanted to say some nice things to make her happy and satisfied. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yet, how could Xia Luo not know he was lying?

Even though knowing he was deceiving her, she still felt delighted.

Because what she said was true.

She did fall in love with him at first sight.

She could never forget the moment she first received Zhan Yunxiao’s photo, seeing the handsome man in the picture, and her heart couldn’t help but race.

How could there be such a good-looking man in this world?

Once she met him in person for the first time, she was awestruck again.

At that moment, she knew, perhaps this was love at first sight.

Originally, she thought she would never get the chance to tell him, yet unbelievably, she got the chance to say it to his face.

But he might just assume she was trying to flatter him and wouldn’t truly believe it.

But that’s okay, as long as she knows in her heart.

Xia Luo took a bath, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and came out.

Zhan Yunxiao poured her another glass of milk.

His mother only said she couldn’t eat anything, but she didn’t say she couldn’t drink.

Perhaps after drinking milk, she wouldn’t feel as hungry.

"Still haven’t found You Mei?"

Xia Luo asked Zhan Yunxiao while drinking the milk.

Zhan Yunxiao shook his head: "She likely saw the surveillance of you escaping, so she didn’t return. We haven’t found her yet. Jiangcheng is so big, it’s easy for one person to hide. But rest assured, we’ve dispatched many people to look for her, and there should soon be news of her whereabouts."

Xia Luo nodded, took another sip of milk, then lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "These past three days, she tried everything to torture me. Except for the water you saw in the video, I didn’t get a drop to drink at any other time. That’s why I was starved to the point of fainting. But she didn’t want me to die because she wanted to use me to lure Mu Chen out. Unexpectedly, it was because of his cautious nature that I was saved in the end."

"I will never let anyone hurt you again."

Zhan Yunxiao held her close with heartache, solemnly swearing.

He knew that although she said these things lightly.

In fact, the past three days had been so tough for her.

"She probably took the opportunity while I was unconscious to go out and inquire about you and also buy food. But she didn’t expect you all to come over so quickly, so there should still be some of her things left in the basement. There may be clues about her hiding place."

Xia Luo did not remain engrossed in painful memories for long. She quickly analyzed the situation rationally and reminded Zhan Yunxiao to go to the basement and search for clues again.
