Chapter 124: Welcome Home

Chapter 124

The next day was the weekend.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Xiao knocked on Li Zhen's door. "Li Zhen, are you awake? My boyfriend bought breakfast and asked if we want to eat together."

Li Zhen, enduring soreness all over her body, opened the door with messy hair. "Xiao Xiao, I'm not hungry, thanks. I need to catch up on sleep. I only slept at seven in the morning."

"Huh? You stayed up all night? What were you doing?" Xiao Xiao asked in astonishment.

Li Zhen yawned. "I was doing..."

Li Zhen suddenly froze.

With a loud "bang," she closed the door.

She shouted from behind the door, "Xiao Xiao, I'm not hungry. You don't have to worry about me..."

"Alright," Xiao Xiao turned around, puzzled, and went to the dining room.

Li Zhen turned her head.

On the bed lay the man who had been full of energy like a wolf last night.

She had almost forgotten about last night!

Last night, Lu Yanming had urgently taken off her clothes, which were now haphazardly hanging on a chair.

His originally crisp shirt and trousers were wrinkled and piled up on the bedside table. His gold-rimmed glasses and valuable wristwatch were pressed on top of them.

Five used condoms were arrogantly squeezed into the trash can.

The small room was filled with traces of last night's lovemaking.

The morning light fell on the elegant bridge of his nose, casting a layer of radiance upon his stunning facial features.

Li Zhen squatted down by the bed, resting her cheek on her hand, silently watching Lu Yanming.

This shabby little room unexpectedly concealed such a precious and handsome person.

She felt a sense of pride.

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

But in the next second, the man before her slightly opened his eyes.

"Am I good-looking, Zhen Zhen?"

"Cough...," Li Zhen's smile froze at the corner of her lips as she quickly stood up.

But her wrist suddenly felt heavy as Lu Yanming pulled her onto the bed, embracing her. "Can we sleep a little longer?"

"Sure, I just got up because my roommate woke me up. It wasn't intentional to get out of bed and look at you."

"I'm yours. If you want to look, just look. No need to explain," Lu Yanming chuckled.

Li Zhen touched her nose, feeling somewhat uneasy.

It's not her fault.

If Lu Yanming's face were on any other woman's bed, they would be even more infatuated than her.

"Besides your face, I can look at everything else, so don't be shy," Lu Yanming directed Li Zhen to face him and placed her hand on his abdominal muscles.

Lu Yanming's abdominal muscles indeed felt great, and they even had a pleasant fragrance!

Li Zhen:...

She swallowed her saliva.

It was too early for this!

In the open kitchen, Lu Yanming was wearing an apron and cooking.

In the dining room, fresh flowers were arranged.

Li Zhen walked over and leaned down to take a sniff.

It smelled delightful.

It was a refreshing fragrance that instantly brought joy to one's heart.

She looked up and gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the flowing river, tranquil and far-reaching.

For a moment, Li Zhen had a feeling.

This was home.

It felt more like home than any place she had ever lived.

"Welcome back, Zhen Zhen," came the voice of Lu Yanming.

Li Zhen turned her head, and Lu Yanming placed two plates of food on the dining table.

Then he approached her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"We'll eat in ten minutes. Go wash your hands first," he said.

"Okay," Li Zhen rubbed the spot where he had kissed her, feeling a little warm.

The charm of a top-notch husband was radiating once again!

Li Zhen pursed her lips, turned around, and went upstairs.

With such excellent genes and a significant stake in the Li family, her current focus should be on wholeheartedly conceiving their baby.

In the bedroom, Li Zhen took out a little umbrella.

It still hadn't worked after all this time; perhaps the pinhole was too small before.

She carefully examined the little umbrella and indeed didn't see any pinholes.

Li Zhen found a needle and made a larger hole than last time!

But when she took a closer look, the hole seemed a bit exaggerated...

No worries, she could simply turn off the lights next time and personally put it on him.

---

The photo shoot for the spokesperson of the studio's advertisement had been completed.

Li Zhen and all her colleagues from the advertising department returned to Honghai Headquarters.

On Monday, the company distributed quarterly benefits.

Li Zhen went to the administrative department with Zhang Xiya to collect them.

Zhang Xiya held Li Zhen's arm and said, "Xiao Zhen Zhen, aren't you a fan of Luna, the popular actress? She recently signed on to a big-budget film called 'Moon's Mark,' which is based on a captivating historical mystery novel. The original book is incredibly good!"

"Moon's Mark got a remake?" Li Zhen's eyes instantly lit up.

She had been a fan of the novel back in her middle school days and loved it to bits.

She never expected it would eventually be adapted into a movie.

"You can't be a fake fan, can you? This news has been trending..." Zhang Xiya rolled her eyes at Li Zhen and then smiled, "It will be released in a few months. Let's all go watch it together!"

The two of them continued chatting as they entered the administrative department.

Li Zhen still had a smile on her face, but as soon as she stepped in, she saw Yu Sheng standing inside.

Her smile involuntarily froze.
