As spring approached, Lu Wanzheng got up early to pack her luggage. The reason was simple: Xu Jingxing and Xiao Qifeng had found out which family the person who tested her DNA came from.
Xiao Qifeng was prepared to be away for a long time for this mission. Seeing Lu Wanzheng packing her luggage very actively, he went up to her and took a few of his usual clothes with him. "Although it's almost spring, N City is in the south, but it's still chilly in spring. Don't forget to bring a thick coat with you, so you don't catch a cold."
Xiao Qifeng stood in front of Lu Wanzheng's wardrobe, looking at which piece of clothing he should bring.
"The situation over there is still uncertain. I might stay there for a long time. It's okay for me, an unemployed person without a job, but you have a company. Can you really leave for so long?"
Lu Wanzheng already knew that the person investigating her came from a reclusive family in N City. After several investigations, they learned that the person's surname was Bai, but they couldn't find out anything else. They could only discuss the details when they arrived in N City.
In order to establish close contact with the Bai family, Xiao Qifeng would approach them with the intention of cooperation. This also meant that Xiao Qifeng would be away from the company for a long time until they understood the current situation of the Bai family.
Xiao Qifeng looked at the closet for a long time before finally taking out a white coat from Lu Wanzheng's wardrobe. The thickness was just right, perfect for this season. He took the coat off the hanger, hung it back up, folded it up, and handed it to Lu Wanzheng.
“Although I’m not in the company, I can manage it remotely. Also, after Dad found out about your situation, he told me not to go back until I find my father-in-law. He will handle the company’s affairs.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Qifeng was really helpless. You know, his father had stepped down early so that he could stay at home with his wife and handed the company over to him. Now he was actually willing to take back control for his daughter-in-law. It seems that his daughter-in-law is indeed more important than his son. Of course, how much of his mother's influence is unknown.
“This time, thanks to you, we have a long vacation. We didn’t take you on a honeymoon after we got married, and Mom has been nagging me about it for a long time. This honeymoon isn’t the kind I was looking for. After everything is over, I’ll ask Dad for leave and take you abroad.”
Lu Wanzheng didn't have high expectations for the honeymoon. She was lazy and a homebody, and her favorite thing to do was probably stay at home. However, she would definitely be willing to go out with Mr. Xiao. "Then let's look for a place in the countryside. It's quieter there and there's more fun than in the city."
"Okay, whatever you say. I'll have someone look for a suitable place to retire; it'll definitely fit your idea."
Lu Wanzheng chuckled. Who would choose a honeymoon destination based on this standard? When they actually got there, they were surrounded by elderly people with gray hair, and it was just the two of them, young and awkward. So she raised her little fist and bared her teeth at Xiao Qifeng, "Watch out or I'll hit you!"
Xiao Qifeng knew she was just being childish and wanted to play along, so he cupped Lu Wanzheng's outstretched fist in his hand and then punched it against his chest with her fist. "You hit me. Are you simmering now?"
"You're calm now," Lu Wanzheng said, seeing how cooperative he was, and threw herself at him, kissing him on both cheeks. "I love Mr. Xiao more and more."
"Love is shown through actions, not words."
Before Lu Wanzheng could react, Xiao Qifeng picked her up from the ground and carried her out of the dressing room, their destination: the bed.
After the pleasure, Lu Wanzheng lay obediently on the bed, covering herself with the blanket tightly from the neck down, while looking at Xiao Qifeng, who was tidying up his things in the dressing room with a resentful gaze.
Xiao Qifeng saw that the clothes were almost packed, and they were all clothes that the two of them were used to wearing.
The box is already one and a half full, with the other half empty.
"What items on your dressing table are you taking with you?" Xiao Qifeng walked to the dressing table and looked at the many bottles and jars on it, all different colors, looking gaudy and flashy. Any normal man would get a headache just looking at them.
Lu Wanzheng turned her head and looked at the items on it. "There are a lot of things needed. Foundation, primer, blush, lipstick, eyeshadow, etc. are all essential." Lu Wanzheng thought that Xiao Qifeng definitely wouldn't recognize them, so she decided to give him a challenge. "In addition, we also need to bring moisturizing water, liquid masks, repairing water, eye cream, and other skin care products."
If one is not an expert, it would take a considerable amount of time just to find all these things. Xiao Qifeng sat down in the chair and began to search for the things that Lu Wanzheng had mentioned.
"One lipstick isn't enough, right? Tell me which shades you want, and I'll find them for you."
Lu Wanzheng has a lot of lipsticks, enough to fill an entire storage box.
Seeing that Xiao Qifeng was so cooperative, Lu Wanzheng told him her usual color code.
"You girls only have one mouth, how can you possibly use so many lipsticks?" Xiao Qifeng picked up one and flipped it over to check the label on the bottom to make sure he hadn't picked the wrong lipstick.
Lu Wanzheng disagreed, "Although I only have one mouth, my mood and outfits are different every day, how can one lipstick satisfy me?"
She was telling the truth; the color of her lipstick has a lot to do with her makeup.
Xiao Qifeng opened several lipsticks and looked at them. From the outside, the colors of some of the lipsticks were not very different. "I think these lipsticks are almost the same color except for the brand."
Lu Wanzheng glanced at the lipstick in his hand. It was indeed similar in color, but only roughly, not exactly the same. "The colors are still a little different, and different brands smell different too. Haven't you noticed? Besides, I bought so many lipsticks just because I made the same mistake that all women in the world make."
Xiao Qifeng: "..."
Is buying lipstick a mistake that all women make?
At the same time, he didn't believe it and opened a few to smell them. Indeed, some of them had a different smell.
He said, "No wonder sometimes when I kiss you, the taste on your lips is different, but I prefer the original flavor."
Lu Wanzheng immediately pulled the blanket over her face, her cheeks flushed red, and I had no idea what he was talking about!
Although her face was buried under the blanket, her ears were still sticking out, and she heard, "Does eating too much lipstick have any effect on your health?"
Lu Wanzheng thought Xiao Qifeng was worried about her, since every time she went to have dinner with Xiao Qifeng, she would have eaten all of her lipstick by the end of the meal.
She poked her head out from under the covers.
"If the intake is not large, there shouldn't be too many problems."
"Oh, I see. But just to be on the safe side, I'll have the original flavor."
"You...have no heart!" Lu Wanzheng was so angry after hearing his words that she almost jumped out of bed. But then she remembered that she wasn't wearing any clothes, so she immediately stopped and shrank back into bed.
Seeing Lu Wanzheng's excited state, Xiao Qifeng was worried that she would catch a cold, so he quickly comforted her, "I won't tease you anymore, cover yourself with the blanket." While instructing Lu Wanzheng, he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room.
Xiao Qifeng found the items quickly. There were some essential makeup items. Although there were many kinds on the table, the effects were basically the same. Lu Wanzheng picked out the ones with the best effect and told Xiao Qifeng to take them. It sounded like there were a lot of things, and there were indeed a lot. Xiao Qifeng took a bag and arranged the items one by one, and then put them into the suitcase. Finally, the suitcase was full.
Xiao Qifeng closed the suitcase, zipped it up, locked it, and carried it out of the dressing room. Their flight was in the afternoon, and there was still time.
When he came out of the dressing room, Lu Wanzheng had already put on her base layer and was now putting on a thin sweater.
"That's about it. If you need anything, you can buy it in N City. The economy in N City is pretty good, so you should be able to buy what you need. I don't have a house in N City, so I'll have to stay in a hotel for now. It's a friend's hotel, with the best room. It's quite private, so you don't have to worry about paparazzi. If you don't like the accommodation, I'll have someone arrange a place for you as soon as you get there."
Hotels are never as comfortable as home, and a brand-new, fully-furnished house needs to be arranged; it's not something you can just have whenever you want. Xiao Qifeng was worried that Lu Wanzheng wouldn't be used to it, so he talked to her about it in advance.
"I'm not that delicate. Wherever Mr. Xiao stays, I'll stay too." Lu Wanzheng waved her hand. Back when she was on set, the extras couldn't compare to the main actors. The hotel rooms they stayed in weren't even half the quality of theirs. Now that she has the best rooms to stay in, how could she not be used to it?
At times like these, Lu Wanzheng couldn't help but marvel at how easy it was for her to take care of herself.
After quickly packing, Xiao Qifeng carried his suitcase and took Lu Wanzheng out to the airport.
Xiao's parents were also present at the airport. Near the boarding gate, Mu Qinshu held Lu Wanzheng's hand and said, "Wanzheng, send a message to your mother when you get there to let her know you're safe. Don't suffer over there. Spend money where you need to. Qi Feng will earn it back. Don't try to save him any money."
Lu Wanzheng was worried about the crowds at the airport, so she wore a mask the whole time she left home, and her expression of reluctance was visible beneath the mask.
"Okay, Mom. Please take good care of yourself during this time. I'll leave the work at the company to you and Dad."
Xiao Junnan stood beside Mu Qinshu and said, "It's damp and cold in the south, so you two should dress warmly. Leave the company matters to me, so you can relax. We should find our in-laws as soon as possible so we can meet them sooner."
"Understood," Xiao Qifeng replied.
The airport's announcement sounded, echoing throughout every corner of the airport. Upon hearing the destination, Mu Qinshu urged, "Go on, it's time to board. Don't forget to message me when you get there."
Don't worry, I won't forget.
Mu Qinshu watched the young couple walk towards the boarding gate, their backs a picture of happiness, but for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.
Xiao Junnan couldn't bear to see his wife upset, so he put his hand on her shoulder and said, "It's not like the children aren't coming back. They've just gone to visit their in-laws. Why do you feel like you're sending your daughter off to get married?"
"Isn't Wanzheng my daughter? Suddenly I feel like our son got a great deal. He actually found such a good daughter-in-law. I wonder if his in-laws are easy to get along with."
To say that Lu Wanzheng has a good temperament is a testament to her upbringing. However, Lu Wanzheng was raised by Xu Jingxing, who is a good person. But she has never spent time with her biological father, so it is impossible to infer her in-laws' character from Lu Wanzheng's personality.
Xiao Junnan didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say something positive, "Although you didn't raise her, you still gave birth to her. Personality is often inherited. If your daughter-in-law has a good personality, her father must be good too. Don't worry."
Mu Qinshu nodded, acknowledging this statement.
Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng's figures moved further and further away from them, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
