Chapter 1245 - 1242: Thoughtful Care for Hua Xiaomo
The elegant face of Lan Zhi was tinged with wisdom, and the noblewoman quality she exuded complemented this perfectly!
However, in such a hall filled with an air of ancient elegance, there lurked a hidden darkness! Beneath her flawless aristocratic demeanor, there lay a cunning and venomous side, unknown to others, but I had experienced it firsthand!
After dinner, Zi Yunsui behaved as gentle and sincere as always! He was attentive to Hua Xiaomo, which made her heart tremble faintly. No matter how Zi Yunsui felt about her before, up to now, she could really feel his love and care!
Perhaps, men are all the same, charming before marriage, and only genuinely devoted to one woman after marriage, that woman being his wife, who is me!
This made Hua Xiaomo begin to feel at ease from the bottom of her heart, and naturally, there was no problem with whatever Zi Yunsui proposed next. Zi Yunsui excused himself to go out, saying he wanted to meet Fang Ya’an and his godfather. Fang Ya’an had been back from Country R for a long time, and he hadn’t had a good chat with him. Thinking of leaving City C the next day, he felt reluctant to part with these loved ones and wanted to gather one last time. Hua Xiaomo had no doubts about this.
Of course, after the incident with Honda Nobuko in the morning, Zi Yunsui had new plans, further considering his future actions... undeniably dangerous! He didn’t want his loved ones to be endangered! The last lesson had given him a profound realization! Therefore, he told no one of his plans! He just arranged for He Bingtong and his godfather, Mo Longhai, to temporarily move out of Hua Xiaomo’s mansion—"Xingchen Fragrance Sea Villa Manor". Instead, he moved them to his former garden villa, "Yu Hongjingdu".
As for this arrangement, to Hua Xiaomo’s side, he only said it was to give them ample space as a couple, and that godfather and Bingtong willingly offered to move out. Hearing this from Zi Yunsui, Hua Xiaomo had no suspicions, just nodded with a smile. Perhaps she no longer doubted Zi Yunsui; now they were married, although he hadn’t consummated the marriage with her yet, but... that was only a matter of time! It was just that he was rather tired these past couple of days! When they go on their honeymoon, they would be able to fully enjoy the love of a couple!
Thinking of this, the beautiful face of Lan Zhi was suffused with a smile of happiness, her cheeks blushed red, and her affectionate heart pounded fiercely!
Now Hua Xiaomo had completely fallen in love, unable to fathom what her lover was truly thinking? What she saw on the surface was just his excellent acting and disguise; she even believed he loved her too! He would no longer try to steal her possession, the "Pearl King", because in her view, what was hers was his, so why would he steal his own family treasure?
Moreover, he had seen the "Pearl King" and found nothing special! He was now her husband, the Vice Chairman of the "Fudi Group", a billionaire, a man of supreme status, regarded as heaven’s favored child by her!! Hence, he was no fool, certainly not an idiot, and he would absolutely never betray her! This, she was deeply convinced of!
So this night was destined to be a late return!
However, Hua Xiaomo rather enjoyed it, with Zi Yunsui not around, she began to clean up her things early, preparing to go on their honeymoon, packing clothes, daily items, all sorts of luggage, she carefully started sorting and boxing, being very considerate, bringing everything she and Zi Yunsui would need. Perhaps, in front of him, she had become a little woman, willing to give for him!

Blazing lights filled the misty night as a silver TOYOTA and a black Mercedes-Benz drove in tandem into the famous Lan Kwai Fong Bar Street.
Lan Kwai Fong Bar Street originated in the early 1970s, a chic place full of yuppie styles, located between Central Yunxian Street in C City and Duddell Street, a short, narrow L-shaped cobblestone alley brimming with exotic flair, dotted with Western restaurants and bars, renowned throughout C City! Thus, Lan Kwai Fong also became a place of refined leisure. The entire Lan Kwai Fong area has over a hundred bar and restaurant-like consumption spots, with various store names and decors very Westernized and fashionable!
C City has long been influenced by British culture, with residents typically enjoying afternoon tea around 3 PM, and dinner at approximately 8 PM. Therefore, within Lan Kwai Fong Bar Street, it’s a perfect time for "yuppies" to have a few beers and relax, as drinks are cheaper than in the evening.
From 9 PM onwards, many trendy, newly-dressed young people and foreigners come to the bars to drink and entertain, the lights dazzling, the colors vibrant, the night growing more splendid! The weekends and festivals, like Christmas, Return Day, Halloween, Lan Kwai Fong Festival, Valentine’s Day, etc., are the liveliest, with Lan Kwai Fong always hosting street carnivals!
This rich and colorful "feast" has made Lan Kwai Fong a tourist hotspot in C City. Fang Ya’an’s visit to C City hadn’t included this place before, but today presented a perfect opportunity to invite him and godfather for a delightful experience!!
The three of them arrived at a Houseware French Restaurant, and upon entering the grand hall, they immediately felt the European Romantic style of decoration, both magnificently elegant and stylishly noble. Beautiful in its restraint, it commands admiration for its enduring depth!
A romantic atmosphere pervaded the scene...
Simple wicker chairs, devoid of any luxurious adornments, but the rose-red tabletop design emitted a uniquely alluring and sensual aura, reminiscent of French women. The lush cypress trees outside the large windows, appeared like faint colors in the background of a painting. The distinctive French chandeliers stirred affection in the heart!
At night, strands of light shone through flower-carved lamps, spreading a subtle silhouette-like warmth. This silent beauty often left the most profound impression.
This was also a place Ding Ye had specially recommended to Zi Yunsui. Thinking of this place, with the same scene but different people, it was also once three people, Ding Ye, Wang Jing, and himself who drank heartily, speaking candidly, with lofty ambitions!
The contrast between then and now was stark, replaced by Fang Ya’an, his godfather, and himself, though lacking that former bravado, a strange loneliness lingered in his heart! Yet, no matter what, he hoped Fang Ya’an and his godfather would love this place just as he did!
The three of them sat by the window at a large round table in wicker chairs, feeling surprisingly comfortable. They talked at ease and drank to their hearts’ content—Zi Yunsui hadn’t been this happy in a long time.
