Chen Shuning suddenly felt that he had failed in his previous life by living a solitary life.

It feels so good to have someone protecting you without you having to lift a finger.

Especially her man's powerful words just now were so cool that Chen Shuning instantly turned into a little fangirl, staring at the man beside her with stars in her eyes.

It wasn't until Chen Shuning walked into the black market and looked at the people setting up stalls in the alley that he realized what was going on. However, He Chaoyang had already paid the two cents to enter the black market, so it wouldn't be good to waste it.

Chen Shuning simply took He Chaoyang's arm and started strolling around.

In this era, it was rare for even married couples to hold hands on the street, let alone the fact that both He and his wife were exceptionally good-looking.

The two attracted a lot of attention along the way, but perhaps because He Chaoyang's aura was too strong, no one dared to come up and chat with them.

The two strolled along the alley lined with shops, their eyes scanning the various items along the way, but they still couldn't find what they needed.

However, they felt it would be inappropriate to leave empty-handed, since they had paid a fee to enter the black market, and it would seem too strange not to buy anything.

As they were about to reach the exit of the black market, Chen Shuning hurriedly reached out and grabbed He Chaoyang, stopping in front of a stall selling duck eggs.

She bought fifty duck eggs in one go. Perhaps because she bought so many, the old lady selling the duck eggs thoughtfully gave her a beautifully woven basket as a gift.

Then, He Chaoyang, looking quite satisfied, left the black market with a basket full of duck eggs in one hand and his pretty young wife in the other.

When they reached the entrance of the black market, Chen Shuning suddenly noticed that Monkey was standing at the alley entrance, constantly looking out into the alley outside the black market.

Only then did she remember that she still had goods to sell. So, she quickly pulled He Chaoyang along and headed towards the quiet alleyway she usually frequented in her space.

After entering the alley, Chen Shuning, as usual, first checked whether there was anyone around and made sure it was safe before leading He Chaoyang into the space.

It was already past eleven o'clock, and time was of the essence. Chen Shuning immediately told He Chaoyang to find something to do to pass the time in the space, while she herself couldn't wait to rush towards the dressing room to tidy up.

The holiday was short, and He Chaoyang was reluctant to part with his wife even for a moment, so he rejected Chen Shuning's suggestion and followed his wife into the dressing room.

This was He Chaoyang's first time stepping into this room, and as soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of clothing and accessories before him.

The huge room was filled with gorgeous clothes of all styles and bright colors. The cabinet in the middle also displayed all kinds of exquisite jewelry and watches. The shoes that filled an entire wall were all shocking to He Chaoyang.

At this moment, He Chaoyang finally understood why, when his mother went through all sorts of hardships to ask a friend to buy a piece of clothing that was supposedly smuggled from Hong Kong at a high price for his wife, his wife was pleasantly surprised, but not at all when faced with the stylish woolen coat.

It turns out that, in comparison, every piece of clothing in the daughter-in-law's own walk-in closet was just as impressive! She must have been quite used to these fine clothes.

This is understandable, since He Chaoyang hasn't spent much time in the villa and his activities are limited to the bedroom, kitchen, living room, and media room. He hasn't been to the basement or the walk-in closet he's in now.

Of course, even Chen Shuning herself doesn't come to these places often, since the things in her walk-in closet are simply not wearable in this era, so Chen Shuning rarely comes here.

So He Chaoyang had never been there before. He had only been to the shopping center once before, when he went there for a seafood feast.

Moreover, that time, he took the direct elevator from the entrance to the thirteenth floor, and his attention was completely drawn to the magical iron box that could carry people up and down and the densely packed buttons on it.

Once outside the elevator, He Chaoyang was completely captivated by the beautiful and colorful decorations of the shopping mall and its restaurants, and had no time to notice what was downstairs.

The look of utter astonishment on his face had not yet faded when he turned his head and saw Chen Shuning smearing black ink on his face, which startled him again.

Immediately afterwards, He Chaoyang stood rooted to the spot, motionless, his eyes fixed intently on Chen Shuning's every move, watching as the once charming young wife gradually transformed into a wrinkled, dark-skinned old woman.

At this moment, He Chaoyang's astonishment was no less than when he first heard about the miraculous effects of the spiritual spring water and his wife's possession of a magical space.

During a break after finishing her makeup, Chen Shuning noticed He Chaoyang's dumbfounded expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, she didn't stop what she was doing and asked with a rather smug look, "How was it, Brother He? Don't you think my makeup skills are pretty good?"

If I went out with this face now, you probably wouldn't even recognize me, right?

"Yes, how did you do that? Now it's almost impossible to recognize you as you used to be."

He Chaoyang stared at Chen Shuning with a look of amazement, deeply admiring her superb makeup skills and showing great interest.

After all, they occasionally need to wear makeup when carrying out missions, but it's usually just a simple matter of putting on a wig and a beard.

In contrast, Chen Shuning now seems to have completely changed, with a completely new look.
