Chapter 211: A Hypothesis
Wan Ai woke with a start.
Of course. The answer was so obvious. How could she have missed it?
She rose from her bed, quickly donned a sect robe over her sleepwear, rushed to Zou Tian’s door, and knocked softly.
In her excitement, she’d almost banged on the door, but her boyfriend—and how weird was it still for her to think of someone using that term—was the lightest sleeper she’d ever even heard of. Her simply opening her bedroom had likely woken him.
“Wan Ai?” he called. “What is it?”
Even though her excitement made her want to scream, she kept her voice low. After all, her assistant, Bai Xinyi, was still asleep in the third bedroom.
“I think I finally figured it out,” Wan Ai said. “I’m going to the pavilion. Do you want to come?”
“Absolutely,” he said. “Give me just a moment.”
She grinned, still amazed at the simple truth that he wanted to be with her just as much as she wanted to be with him. If she did end up succeeding, she naturally wanted him there to experience the moment with her, and he wouldn’t think of passing up that opportunity.
There were things that came with being husband and wife that seemed so awkward and scary to her, and those activities were part of the reason she was more than content to wait to take the next logical step in their relationship and get engaged. But maybe, those things wouldn't be quite as awkward and scary as she imagined. Maybe it was time to start thinking about a wedding.
First, though, there was something much more urgent to attend to.
As soon as Zou Tian exited his room, she grabbed his hand and practically dragged him from the house. By the time they reached the Alchemy Pavilion, they were practically running.
