"I'm back!"
Lin Wan returned ho, tossed her suitcase aside, and leaped into Lu Zheng's arms.
"Did you miss ?"
"I did! Shall we eat first?"
"No, I want to eat you first!"
...
"Ugh... You're such a beast. Have you been holding back for days?"
Lu Zheng blinked, recalling Shen Ying's enticing deanor from last night's card ga, and Liu Qingyan's pitiful charm. He decisively nodded.
"Phew—" Lin Wan let out a breath and asked, "Should I find you a companion to share so of your energy?"
"So lacking in confidence?" Lu Zheng teased.
Lin Wan held up undeniable evidence, squinting her eyes, "Didn't you say last ti there were two more little sweethearts at ho? You sounded so convincing, like it was real. Be honest, were you eting your other wives when you disappeared?"
Lu Zheng: (°ー°〃)
Lu Zheng steadied the bowl, "I'm not, I didn't, don't say such things!"
We're not married yet, they don't count as wives!
Lu Zheng: (◔◡◔)
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's denial, Lin Wan's eyes sparkled, and she chuckled lightly.
She firmly believed that if sothing wasn't ant for her to know, Lu Zheng wouldn't tell her. And if he did, he wouldn't deceive her with falsehoods.
So...
Lin Wan's heart was smitten with Lu Zheng once again. She gently pushed him onto the bed, brushed her hair aside, and leaned in closer.
...
Lin Wan arrived ho at 10 AM, had two als, rested a bit, and by 2 PM, was full of energy, dragging Lu Zheng out the door.
"Zhao Wenyu is treating us to dinner this afternoon. We need to go out and burn off so energy, or else how will we have room to eat later!"
That was Lin Wan's excuse, though Lu Zheng didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything.
"By the way, did you co straight ho? No need to report at work?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Already did. I wrote the report on the plane, and after landing at 8 AM, I went straight to the office to submit it to the director." Lin Wan replied.
"Impressive!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, knowing Lin Wan wanted to co ho earlier.
Lin Wan had been wandering around various small towns in Maple Country lately, and now just wanted to see people, so instead of watching a movie, they just strolled around the mall and tried on clothes.
Fortunately, Lin Wan didn't just try things on without buying. After an afternoon of shopping, Lu Zheng ended up with five or six shopping bags, filled with clothes for both Lin Wan and himself, chosen by her.
"Where did Zhao Wenyu arrange the dinner?"
"At Yidao Private Kitchen."
"Let's go!"
Throwing the bags into the back seat, Lu Zheng drove, following the navigation to an alley in the city center.
"Why do private kitchens always like opening in such remote spots? Do they think it's classy?"
"Maybe because there's no traffic jam?"
"You make a good point!"
Driving over, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had been stuck on the overpass and main street, overwheld by the rush hour crowd and endless traffic.
However, once they entered the city and turned into a small alley with only two lanes, the surroundings beca quiet.
Driving along, they arrived at a private courtyard in the middle of the alley, where Lu Zheng saw Zhao Wenyu already waiting at the gate.
Parking the car in the courtyard, having a parking lot with ten spaces in a private courtyard in the city center was quite rare.
"Brother Lu! Sister Lin!" Zhao Wenyu cheerfully ran up to open the door.
"Thank you!"
Lu Zheng didn't bother acknowledging Zhao Wenyu, but Lin Wan remained polite.
"Are Old Du and Old Zhang here?"
"Old Zhang went to the restroom, and Old Du said he's stuck in traffic, will take so ti."
Zhang Tiexia took the subway, which was punctual, while Du Lin drove himself, so when he'd arrive depended on luck with the traffic.
But they didn't have to wait long. Du Lin arrived after ten minutes, bringing two bottles of Maotai to welco Lin Wan.
...
After two hours of dining, although Lu Zheng could use his Qi to clear the alcohol, he decided to blend in and called for a driver, sitting with Lin Wan in the back seat as they returned ho.
"How was it?"
"Not as good as yours!"
"Then I'll make you a feast tomorrow!"
"Great!"
Lin Wan took a bath, then cheerfully snuggled into Lu Zheng's arms, grabbing the remote to switch channels, finding a TV series.
On TV, Zhao Xiaodao, playing a rural woman, was facing conflicts with city life and her husband.
"You know, Zhao Xiaodao's round face is quite versatile, she can play so many roles without seeming out of place," Lin Wan chuckled.
She took a picture with her phone and sent it to the [Martial Arts Alliance] group chat.
Zhao Xiaodao: Hehe, my transformation work, how is it?
Lin Wan: Great job!
Lu Zheng: Exactly, those crow's feet at the eyes don't even need makeup.
Lin Wan couldn't help but smack Lu Zheng, "Why do you always hit the sore spot?"
But Zhao Xiaodao wasn't upset.
Zhao Xiaodao: (hehe.jpg)
Zhao Xiaodao: (selfie.jpg)
Zhao Xiaodao: They're completely gone now!
Zhao Xiaodao: You guys don't know, recently, a bunch of won have been around , asking about my skin, questioning why it suddenly looks so good.
Lin Wan: Then what?
Zhao Xiaodao: I told them I t a mysterious old Chinese doctor who likes watching my dramas, so he personally found , gave so herbal dicine, and did acupuncture and massage to keep young and able to act a few more years.
Lin Wan: ...
Lin Wan: Did they believe you?
Zhao Xiaodao: What if they don't believe, that's my answer anyway.
Zhao Xiaodao: Just the other day, even Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi invited to dinner, expressing envy and asking to introduce that old Chinese doctor to them through their conversations.
Clearly, even if no one believed Zhao Xiaodao's excuse, no one could force her to reveal the truth, so Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi simply went along with it, directly inquiring about the old doctor.
Zhao Xiaodao: That's also one of the reasons I'm confident I can bring Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi out (hehe.jpg)
Zhao Xiaodao: @Lu Zheng, when are you coming to Beidu? My treat (generous.jpg)
Lu Zheng: ...
Can't get over this joke, can we?
Lin Wan thought about Zhao Xiaodao's scenario, frowning as she typed: Won't it be a hassle for you?
Zhao Xiaodao quickly denied: No way, how could it? If I can't handle this little bit, how could I still be in showbiz!
Lin Wan: That's good, I was worried Lu Zheng hadn't thought it through enough.
Zhao Xiaodao patted her chest, For the love of Brother Lu's lack of thought, otherwise, how would I have gotten the Beauty Pill?
Zhao Xiaodao: Not at all, Brother Lu is like my career's second springti.
With smooth skin, mature looks, and solid acting skills, Zhao Xiaodao claid she could act as a leading lady for another ten years, even playing a young girl without looking out of place.
Taking the Gen Z path, leaving no room for the Gen Z to walk!
...
After finishing the chat with Zhao Xiaodao, the two continued watching an episode of the drama, and naturally, it led to...
