134 Chapter 134 : The smell of danger

Xiulan's activities for today only consists of watching Italian telenovelas without any subtitles and eat expensive-looking meals. She didn't even bother opening her laptop to work or terrorize her subordinates.

She just lazily sprawled all over the luxurious and the softest sofa she had ever lied her body on. Today seems to be the procrastination day for her. This means that her period will come sooner due to the unexplainable laziness.

"It must be the hormones. It will torture me for the next few days." she softly mumbles as she stares at the handsome and beautiful leads of the hit Italian afternoon drama. Add to the rapid hormone change, she gets attracted to the littlest things.

Even though she doesn't understand anything she still continued watching the series and gush over the perfect leads. But her attention was grabbed by the loud vehicle noise outside Hongqi's Venetian mansion.

She suspiciously frowned. She's not sure why she's hearing so many vehicle engine noises.. It's been very quiet ever since she arrived in this gigantic villa. Hearing a lot of loud and inaudible noise made her irritated and bothered.

She quickly went to the next room where a veranda is available to see the front lawn of the mansion.

She quietly peeks at the veranda's glass doors. She counted seven unfamiliar black and red cars outside. She can see Hongqi's car and the security's convoy but there are far more unfamiliar cars right now.

"Who the hell are these people? Mafia?" she questioned. It'll be very bad if those people were really the mafias. She used to be cyber police in one of her government missions. Fighting or trapping these bad boys was the heck a pain in her hacking career. They were too rich and has a lot of resources to rent a professional hacker to compete with her.

Though she won successfully she almost loses from them. She never wanted to fail any of her missions back then since she very much treasured the Song family reputation.

Back to the mafia-looking people outside, definitely they are bad news. They must never get into trouble with them. Especially that she and Hongqi have oligarch backgrounds. If one of them gets into trouble, it may cause a huge implication to both countries.

Xiulan didn't leave her spot and continues watching them. She tries to lip read the conversation between her husband's brief talk with those unfamiliar faces.

She didn't understand any since it seems to be they are talking in Italian. She only guessed and used their body language as a reference and deduced that there seems to be no trouble yet.

Just to make sure they will be out of implications, she took some photos of the cars and the majestic crests on their suits. She will try to search for them when Hongqi's not in the room.

She quickly went back to the master's bedroom and wait for Hongqi. She will interrogate him and ask what kind of trouble he started.

Hongqi had to talk to Secretary Yang Bo for a minute and told him to settle important tasks. He also called Pierre to give him the status of the earlier meeting. It took him an hour before going back to the master's bedroom.

When Hongqi came into the bedroom, he saw that his wife's in her lazy arrangement and the loud telenovela on the tv.

"What are you watching? Can you understand Italian?" Hongqi asked. He noticed that there were no subtitles. He speculated that his wife can understand the language.

"No. But they are very entertaining to watch even though I can't understand it." Xiulan lazily answered back.

Hongqi sat beside her and cuddled her to his arms. "I can speak and understand it. Do you want me to be your translator?" He suggested and quickly pecked her temples.

Xiulan didn't answer his inquiry. Instead, she asked him another question. "When are we going to leave this villa? I want to sightsee."

The husband tenderly held her closer and whispered near to her ears, "We can go out now if you want to."

"No. Let's do it tomorrow. I don't want to be in the middle of trouble." she ambiguously commented.

"Trouble? What trouble?"

Xiulan gave him an inconspicuous expression. "You just came home with a bunch of bad-looking people. Don't expect me to go out of this safe house after that dangerous meeting."

She expected that people with bad intentions might have put some spies or watchers outside to inspect their activities since her husband is now affiliated with a mafia. She watched a lot of action movies and also experienced such dangerous settings before, she definitely concluded that such a trap might be waiting for them.

"Are we even safe here?" she asked again.

Hongqi was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect his wife to question him about this matter. She usually doesn't care about his businesses but right now she seems to be wary of their situation. Maybe due to her background and experience that she's knowledgeable of the impact of his transaction.

"My wife, we are safe here. As long as we are near my elite security, no one can mess us. In regards to my meeting awhile ago, that seems to cause great anxiety to my dear wife, all is well. The big boss seems to have likened our deal and even imposed his threatening hospitality that's why there were many cars and unwanted visitors awhile ago."

Xiulan sharply looked at her husband, "It's obvious that he's trying to monitor you and this villa."

Hongqi sneered. Of course, he knows that. But he can't reject the big boss' offer. If he did, he might not be able to leave the Campania's turf. "I know. Let them be. They won't touch us. I have a billion-dollar contract with them. If they touch us, they better ready themselves and China will start a war with them."

Xiulan anxiously stared at her husband. She's deeply worried about their predicament. Though there's a small chance that they will get into trouble. "Okay. If you say so."

Hongqi smiled and suddenly bit his wife's shoulder to release the tension.

"Ouch!" Xiulan's small fingers quickly pinched her husband's arms. "What the hell?!"

He laughed so loudly from his wife's reaction."Sorry. I want you to relax. You're like a granny, so nervous and worried."

She glared at him and didn't bother conversing anymore. Yes, she's really like a granny right now. It's better to be a granny in this situation. Damn, she can really feel her heart palpitating.

Hongqi's naughty hands traveled to her belly and were about to go upwards when Xiulan stops him. "What do you think you are doing?"

"Love, let's have dinner outside. It's not far from the villa. Don't worry, everything's fine." he sexily whispered near her ear. He wants to get out of the villa so his wife will stop imagining different scenarios. She seems to be very worried and nervous. If they eat outside and see that everything's fine, she might let go of the tension and she can finally be at ease.

Xiulan hesitated. She's really distressed. It's not that she didn't trust Hongqi's security team's protection, she just feels like something will happen. A gut feeling that's making her vex.

"Alright," she answered weakly. She hopes that the first day in this country won't jinx them.
