After playing around and enjoying their honeymoon in Country H for a week, the two of them boarded the plane to visit Country C. The flight from Country H to Country C took almost twelve hours. When they arrived, Li Qin Yao was not in a good mood due to jet lag.
An elderly man was waiting for them at the arrival hall when they arrived. Zhang Yu Han introduced that man as his father's ȧssistant, Assistant Zhou. Assistant Zhou greeted both Zhang Yu Han and his wife politely before he helped them with their luggage and headed to the vehicle.
After half an hour of driving, they arrived at a big mansion and Li Qin Yao woke up from and looked around the mansion with awe. The air around them was colder and fresher. There was a beautiful garden of flowers around and Li Qin Yao noticed a basketball hoop at the side of the house.
Seeing the way his wife was rubbing her arms up and down, Zhang Yu Han wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her to the door.
Li Qin Yao leaned on his arms and whispered, "Will it snow later?"
"It might be cold now, but the snow won't fall until next month," Zhang Yu Han said. "Come on. Let's go inside."
As soon as they entered the house, an elderly lady came to greet them at the door and greeted them both respectfully.
"Auntie," Zhang Yu Han said. "Where's my mom and dad?"
"Master and madam are ar work," the elderly woman said. She looked at the couple and smiled amiably. "Two days after they arrived, the two of them had already reported to the office. Should I inform them that you are here?"
A day after the couple left for Country H, his parents then took the flight to return to Country C. Anyway, they had left their work in for a while to return and meet their daughter-in-law. When they heard that this daughter-in-law was in trouble, they had left Country C in a hurry to show her their support. This was the girl that their son had taken fancy in. Of course, the couple wanted to dote on their new family members as well.
Now that they have settled with the couple's wedding ceremony, Zhang Xi and Liu Hui Lan had to return to the office and dealt with their workload.
However, since it was difficult for Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao to take a long break from work, they have decided to make a stop to Country C as well. This way, they can visit Zhang Yu Han's parents while continuing their honeymoon.
"No. I'll give them a call," Zhang Yu Han said. He then turned to his wife who was nestling in his embrace. "Auntie, this is my wife, Li Qin Yao. Qin Yao, this is Auntie Hao."
"Hello, hello" both women greeted each other.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to eat anything?" the elderly woman said as she glanced at the entrance, where Assistant Zhou and the gardener were helping to bring the newlyweds luggage inside.
Zhang Yu Han turned to his wife and raised a brow as if asking for her opinion. He watched her shook her head and answered, "It's fine, Auntie Hao. We have eaten in our flight earlier."
"Then, You must be tired after a long flight," Auntie Hao said. "Young Master go and take Young Madam to rest upstairs. Madam has already instructed me to clean up your room a few days ago. Then, when Master and Madam return, I will call you for dinner."
"Hmm," Zhang Yu Han nodded. "Thank you, Auntie Hao."
As Zhang Yu Han went back downstairs to get their luggage, Li Qin Yao walked around the room to look at the space where her husband spent a lot of time in there after high school and until he graduated from university.
Li Qin Yao could not help but notice how his room in Country C was slightly different than his room in Zhang's residence. Zhang Yu Han's room in here had this slightly more mȧturėd feeling than his room in the Zhang's residence.
Here, his room was filled with books in foreign languages. It was clean, simple, and more organized.
Just as she was looking at some pictures and trophies in the glass cabinet, Li Qin Yao felt her husband embracing her from the back. A smile curved on her lips as she enjoyed his warm embrace.
She always liked it whenever Zhang Yu Han gave her a back hug. She liked that feeling of how his strong arms enclosed her small frame and how he would rest his head on her shoulder, or sometimes on the top of her head.
Feeling his warmth on her back made her feel safe. It was as if she did not worry about whatever danger that would come from behind her because her husband would be there to shield her and protect her. It was such a wonderful feeling. But of course, she had never said these words to him.
"Didn't you say that you are tired? Why don't you go and take a nap? It will be a while before mom and dad got off work," Zhang Yu Han said. He then rubbed his nose into her hair and kissed her ear.
Li Qin Yao leaned her back on his strong ċhėst. "I saw this room and got curious to see the room where you grew up. This house is pretty huge. It's bigger than Grandfather's mansion back there."
"I'll take you to walk around this house later." Zhang Yu Han chuckled. "Back then, Grandfather and my late Grandmother spent a lot of time in Country C. This is like their second home. It was when my Grandfather decided to return to focus the business more locally that he handed this place over to my dad."
"Later, I will take you to walk around and show you where I studied," Zhang Yu Han said. Once his wife placed down the picture back on the table, Zhang Yu Han quickly lifted her into a princess carry and brought her into bed.
"What are you doing?" Feeling that soft and comfortable mattress under her, a thought came to her mind, and she eyed her husband cautiously.
Zhang Yu Han slid at her side and pulled his wife into his embrace. "Stop thinking too much," he smiled and kissed her cheek. "Mom and dad said that they will return before dinner. Let's just take a few hours nap and wake up before they come back, alright?"
