Chapter 54
I had a very filling meal, but after my trip to the sea I was able to digest only half of it. By the evening I could not eat anything.
Hawthorne sympathized with the couple's fatigue from the journey and did not spend too much time chatting about the past. In the evening, he sent a car to take the couple to their seaside holiday villa.
This single-family villa is a private pool villa in Hawthorne. It covers a large area and faces the sea on two sides. The entrance is facing the high arched window.
"Wow! What a beautiful sea view!" With no one around, Wen Zhenni dropped her hat and ran to the window, exclaiming, "Hubby, come and see."
At first glance, you can see rows of palm trees and the vast blue sea. The view is so wide that it seems as if you are floating on the sea.
Wen Zhenni waved excitedly, but when the man showed no interest, she turned and ran back, tugging at his arm and insisting he look at it. "Such a beautiful view, look at it more often, it's good for your eyes."
Ci Heng was pulled so hard by her that she had no choice but to follow. "It's not your first time here, are you so happy?"
"Yeah, if you're happy, just say it out loud and let others be happy too." In Wen Zhenni's mind, happiness should be expressed loudly and good things should be shared. "Next time I come, I'll still exclaim."
"If you like this place, buy it."
Wealthy bosses are different. But Wen Zhenni shook her head: "Vacation is vacation. No matter how nice it is outside, it can't compare to home. Besides, our house can also see the sea, the forest park and the lake."
After saying that, she let go of his hand: "I'll go check out the other rooms."
After all, I will be staying here for the next week.
As a temporary resting place, of course you have to patrol your territory carefully.
To the side of the hall is an open kitchen and dining area, as well as a grand banquet hall. The archway leading out of the dining room leads directly to a corridor covered in vines. In bloom, the air is filled with a delicate fragrance that permeates the heart.
At the end of the corridor are the garden and swimming pool.
There were a few beach chairs set up by the pool. Wen Zhenni lay down on one and tried it out, then got up and went back into the villa. She didn't go downstairs, which was basically the owner's functional area, and went straight up the spiral staircase to check out the rest area.
The second floor is a more private area. At the corner of the arc, there is a white piano. Further inside is the leisure and relaxation activity room, which is used to drink tea and chat when entertaining friends.
She walked along the corridor and found the bedroom she was supposed to rest in. The bedroom was simply decorated, but bright and comfortable. To her surprise, it faced a large balcony with a view of the sea.
Adjacent to it is an independent cloakroom, study, sauna room and bathroom with a view.
The entire wall of the bathroom is also a transparent arched window. It’s so pleasant just to think about taking a flower petal bath here.
"Are you satisfied?" Ciheng asked her from behind.
He had just finished instructing the servants to put the luggage away and explained some things to Lu Fangyang downstairs.
Lu Fangyang and his entourage were all accommodated in a nearby five-star hotel, so in this huge villa, apart from the couple, only a few well-trained servants were left.
He looked around the room and said, "Hawthorne has hardly ever lived here. The layout remains the same. You can adjust it according to your habits."
"I like them all, no need to adjust." Wen Zhenni said without any hesitation.
She said she liked it, and she really liked it. She even had a picture in her mind. "I saw a piano by the French window in the corridor. When I'm bored, I can play the piano to kill time... I haven't played it for a long time, so my hands are not very good."
Thinking of the lounge, her thoughts turned, and she added enthusiastically: "If there are guests visiting, we can set up a table in the lounge with refreshments and chat all day long."
Ci Heng seemed to have anticipated what she was going to say next and asked, "Would you like to take a bath? What do you like...rose scented bubble bath. Taraf is rich in flowers, and roses are the least of them."
With such a transparent and beautiful large window, the temptation of taking a bath is irresistible, and I must give it a try.
Wen Zhenni nodded quickly: "If you want to soak, soak now."
Just imagine, after taking a bath, you crawl into the soft bed with the scent of flowers on your body, and when you wake up in the morning, you can see the blue sea with moisture in the morning light.
"Then please help me prepare it." Wen Zhenni acted as a hands-off boss and went to change into a bathrobe excitedly.
The Hawthorne family's team of housekeepers undergo rigorous training, each providing impeccable service. The maids at the beachfront villa were hand-picked by Ms. Lyra from the estate. They are either fluent in English or familiar with Chinese, so communication is naturally not a problem.
Moreover, the villa is equipped with the most advanced smart home system. You only need to press the voice call button and tell the maid directly what you need, and everything can be easily handled.
Soon, two maids in uniform stood at the door and knocked for instructions.
One of them held a white porcelain vase with fresh flowers, and the other held an aromatherapy tray. They politely introduced them to Ciheng:
"Sir, these flowers are from Mr. Hawthorne's private garden. They are all organically grown and have never been sprayed with harmful chemicals. You can use them with confidence."
Ciheng had changed her clothes and was standing by the window in a relaxed posture, adjusting the belt of her bathrobe.
Hearing this, his eyes fell on the things in the two people's hands. After examining them, he responded briefly: "Okay."
The maids went to the bathroom and began preparing a bubble bath. In order to fully utilize the effects, the flower petals and essential oils had to be soaked in the water in advance.
While waiting, Wen Zhenni sat in the dressing chair next to her, combing her hair while chatting with Xi Miao via video.
It was already evening in Tianhai. Xi Miao had just gotten out of her Aston Martin and was going to Xiuse to have fun with her friends.
"Let's talk about it later, darlings..."
Xi Miao greeted the young ladies who had come to greet her, then moved closer to the screen and excitedly asked Wen Zhenni, "Mingxia's traditional Chinese style design won an international award. The studio is organizing a celebration. Are you coming?"
Winning an award is a big deal and deserves a big celebration.
Wen Zhenni stopped combing her hair and asked, "What time?"
Xi Miao: "Tomorrow afternoon. Can you come?"
"No, I can't come."
Wen Zhenni shook her head regretfully and turned the camera to face the sea outside the window. "I'm in Taraf. I don't know when I'll be back."
Looking at the tropical scenery, Xi Miao's eyes widened. "No way! We just wrapped up and had a celebration party last night, and we're already in Taraf today? Did you take a time machine?"
Wen Zhenni explained: "After having dinner with the crew in the early morning, I didn't even have time to go home. I was taken directly to a private plane by Ciheng. I said I was on vacation, but I was actually here to attend the signing ceremony between Taihua and the local government to help them build a financial center."
"Wow~" Xi Miao gasped, "This is definitely going to be on the news. You're not going to be exposed like this, are you?"
Taraf's media will certainly report it extensively. Domestic news will probably just be mentioned on TV, and then official media and financial media will write a few news releases, but they will only focus on highlighting the significance of cooperation and its impact on the future relationship between the two countries.
Wen Zhenni shook her head: "No, it's my personal schedule now. Besides, few people read business news."
"Then you underestimate the power of your fans. As long as they want to dig up information, there's nothing they can't dig up. Besides, your fan base is one of the largest in the entertainment industry."
After Xi Miao refuted, he quickly stopped talking, fearing that it would scare her and affect her vacation mood.
She cleared her throat, remembering something, and a gossipy look suddenly appeared on her face. She winked at Wen Zhenni, "The schedule is so rushed... Could it be that they specially took you on vacation in advance for our third wedding anniversary?"
"Ah?" Wen Zhenni was stunned for a moment, her mind a little stuck, "Is, is that so..."
Xi Miao looked at him blankly: "Oh my, you didn't forget when your wedding anniversary is, did you?"
Wen Zhenni: “…Uh.”
She really had forgotten about this.
In the past, she spent her wedding anniversary on tour. Tzu Heng would always send a gift home, and if she was happy, she would give a gift in return. If she didn't, that was fine too.
Thinking about it carefully, they had never solemnly celebrated their so-called wedding anniversary. Now that Xi Miao mentioned it casually, the celebration seemed to be a done deal.
"But I don't know how to celebrate our anniversary." Wen Zhenni felt confused and a little overwhelmed. "Miaomiao, do you have any good ideas?"
"How did you live in the past?" Xi Miao asked.
"He gave me jewelry, and I gave him a tie or a watch."
Xi Miao knew it was the case: "You two live a very respectful life together, no wonder the divorce rumors are so convincing."
Wen Zhenni: "...Let's not bring up the past, okay?"
"Okay." Xi Miao stopped teasing her and gave her some advice seriously, "Going to a hotel or something is too old-fashioned. Why don't you go to a mountaintop villa to watch fireflies? Just imagine, fireflies flying all over the sky, the atmosphere is full, the mood is right, and some sex will liven up the atmosphere."
Xi Miao is very good at having fun and is a veteran in the field of love. After all, none of the men she dumped did not miss her well.
Wen Zhenni subconsciously glanced at the door. Although Ciheng didn't come, the maid who understood Chinese was already laughing secretly.
Her face flushed: "Keep your voice down, there are other people here."
Xi Miao said indifferently: "We are all adults, those who understand will understand."
She spoke with a seasoned tone, "Nibao, you're right to listen to me. Even the most loving couple needs some novelty from time to time to spice things up and add a little anticipation to their married life."
Xi Miao leaned back on the large leather sofa, and the group of fashionable and stylish young ladies around her all came over and gathered in front of the screen to greet Wen Zhenni.
Wen Zhenni's ears grew hotter, and she responded to everyone's enthusiasm awkwardly. Although she was a bit bold in private, she wasn't bold enough to reveal her boudoir secrets to the public.
Xi Miao had said almost everything he needed to say, and amidst the chatter and laughter, he threw in a sentence: "Tell me his measurements, and I'll customize a few sets for you. They're exclusive limited editions that you can't buy on the market."
Wen Zhenni's face burned completely, and she grumbled in protest, "It's not good to talk about something so private."
Xi Miao was both angry and amused: "What are you thinking? I just wanted to give you something and asked you to measure my measurements."
In the background, she heard her sister urging her. She was busy having fun and kept repeating loudly, "I have to go play. Remember to measure the size and send it to me!"
As soon as the words fell, the video went black.
Wen Zhenni's face was as hot as a red-hot iron. Fortunately, the bubble bath was ready. She dropped her phone like a hot potato and buried herself in the bathtub.
The bathroom lights adjust intelligently to the ambient light, providing just the right amount of illumination, neither glaring nor too dim. The centrally located bathtub is made of marble, offering a smooth, smooth texture. Its square design is large enough to swim in.
Wen Zhenni sank her body into the water, slid from one end to the other, and when she resurfaced, the temperature on her face had dropped.
