It seems the other party was anxiously waiting for a reply from Wen Nan and, in their urgency, ca to his office to wait for him?
Wen Nan got out of the car and called from behind, "Sister Zhenzhen?"
Xu Zhenzhen was about to enter the elevator. Hearing this, she abruptly turned around, saw Wen Nan, let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly walked forward,
"Little Jiujiu, are you okay? Did you get my ssage?"
Wen Nan explained the situation to her and briefly reiterated that his house had been bombed.
However, this ti he didn’t ntion anything about needing an introduction for temporary accommodation.
But without Wen Nan having to bring it up, Xu Zhenzhen already raised her handbag and started rummaging through it, "Little Jiujiu, wait a mont."
9527: [Congratulations to the player, ’Extrely possessive widowed beauty’ key item, exploration progress raised to 98%.]
With the system prompt ringing, Xu Zhenzhen took out a thermos cup from her bag and handed it to Wen Nan.
9527: [Congratulations to the player! Successfully found the key item of ’Extrely possessive widowed beauty’—Love Soul Soup!]
Hmm?
Upon hearing the na of the item, Wen Nan was montarily stunned.
Xu Zhenzhen directly shoved the thermos into his hand, "This is sothing I just made to help calm your nerves."
9527: [Congratulations to the player, ’Extrely possessive widowed beauty’ key item, exploration progress raised to 100%.]
Xu Zhenzhen took a step forward and grabbed Wen Nan by the arm, "Little Jiujiu, co stay at my place, I’ll drive you back?"
Wen Nan politely declined her offer, "I still have so work to finish at the company, Sister Zhenzhen, I can’t go to your place."
Xu Zhenzhen asked, "How long will it take, should I wait for you?"
Wen Nan lied helplessly, "I’m afraid I’ll have to work all night."
At this point, Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t insist any longer, so she nodded, withdrew her hand, "Then, I’ll leave first. If you need a place to stay, contact anyti."
She was about to turn away but rembered sothing and said, "Oh, right, there’s a little storage compartnt under the thermos lid, where I’ve placed the key to my house. You... can co to my place anyti."
Saying that, she buried her head and hurried to her car.
Wen Nan held the thermos, watching as Xu Zhenzhen drove away.
The next mont, Yu Shujun got out of the car, ca up to Wen Nan, pulled up a chat record, and showed it to him.
It was a ssage Zhou Yichen had recently sent to Yu Shujun—
[Chenchen: Xiao Jun, I just received an update on the A8L location, why does it show you went to my husband’s company?]
[Chenchen: It’s so late, what are you doing there?]
[Jun: Sister Chen, did you know your husband also lives in Yuanming Garden?]
[Chenchen recalled a ssage]
[Chenchen recalled a ssage]
[Chenchen: Of course I know, Yuanming Garden is so big that even if you guys happen to both be there, you probably won’t run into each other regularly, so I didn’t bring it up]
[Chenchen: Why ntion this all of a sudden]
[Jun: Shared a video with you]
[Jun: Your husband’s house exploded]
[Chenchen: What?!]
[Chenchen initiated a call request]
[Call ended]
"Your wife just sent a voice ssage trying to understand your situation over there and asked to stay with you. Once you’ve finished overti, I’m supposed to take you back ho imdiately without delay," Yu Shujun stated flatly, pausing for a mont before adding, "brother-in-law."
...Brother-in-law?!
What’s with "your wife" and "your ho"?
Why is this person’s speech now going from cold to eerie?
Yu Shujun: "I’m only reciting my boss’s exact words."
Earlier in the call, Zhou Yichen last implored Yu Shujun in her coquettish voice, "In any case, make sure to bring your brother-in-law back to our ho safely, okay, Xiao Jun."
Wen Nan decided to ignore the weird tone and turned to enter the elevator hall, pressing the top floor button to head to the office.
At this hour, there wasn’t a soul in the office. Wen Nan navigated in the dark to his desk and quickly found the smart bracelet belonging to Ru Huan and him from the storage room drawer.
9527: [Congratulations to the player! Successfully found the key item of ’Extrely controlling young stepmother’—Intelligent Tracking Bracelet!]
9527: [Congratulations to the player, ’Extrely controlling young stepmother’ key item, exploration progress raised to 100%.]
Another item successfully collected.
Just as he placed the bracelet into the equipnt backup slot, the doorbell rang.
Wen Nan walked over to see a delivery guy wearing a cap standing outside the door, asking, "Mr. Ye Jiu? This is your local delivery."
Wen Nan took it and opened the bag, revealing a small spherical egg.
9527: [Congratulations to the player! Successfully found the key item of ’Despotic landlord yearning for love’—Silver | Egg | Egg!]
9527: [Congratulations to the player, ’Despotic landlord yearning for love’ key item, exploration progress raised to 100%.]
Hmm...
This item seems to pair quite nicely with Wen Nan’s golden undie... doesn’t it?
Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Wen Nan stood at the office door, glancing at the system’s equipnt backup slot.
Now, including the hidden character "little servant," Wen Nan has acquired a total of 5 key items out of the 7 items on the whole instance map. Except for the one Carl Milak left for himself, the "Kid Sister," there’s only the last character left for Wen Nan himself, his "original spouse" Zhou Yichen.
It seems the last destination for tonight is clear.
"Can we go to your wife’s house now, brother-in-law?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Shujun’s voice faintly echoed in Wen Nan’s ear.
Wen Nan raised his hand to tap Yu Shujun’s forehead, "You’d better reorganize your words and think about what you should be calling."
Yu Shujun didn’t respond, his face clearly expressing "humbly accepting advice, never changing his ways."
Wen Nan suddenly realized that his little servant’s rebellious phase seed to have evolved, from targeting just him individually to targeting both him and his nominal wife.
But fortunately, so far, this rebellion only manifested in sarcasm. Wen Nan shrugged and let it slide.
Sitting in the car heading to Zhou Yichen’s house, Wen Nan glanced at the back seat, finding Qiqi holding a video. The male lead hadn’t changed, but the female lead was now the White Bone Demon. While still poking with a stick, compared to the female versions of Ultran and the Third Prince, this version seed inexplicably normal to Wen Nan.
Shaking his head, he relaxed back into the passenger seat, listening to the driver speaking lowly while driving,
"Living in Zhou Yichen’s house, besides herself, there are a total of 7 people—
"The bodyguard responsible for Zhou Yichen’s safety, Zhao Gang, lives on the east side of the first floor, next to the gym; the ho cleaner, Aunt Zhang, lives in the maid’s room next to the laundry on the second floor; the maid in charge of laundry and Zhou Yichen’s daily close matters, ii, lives in the small guest room next to Zhou Yichen’s master bedroom on the third floor; the repairman responsible for lawn trimming, watering, pool maintenance, and appliance and pipe repair, Uncle Wang, lives in the sunroom in the backyard; additionally, there are three chefs, one Western brunch chef, Alex, and two Chinese dinner chefs, Sichuan cuisine Master Liu and Cantonese cuisine Master Li, who are not around every day and occasionally rest for a night in the shared dormitory next to the kitchen on the second floor."
Yu Shujun ticulously explained the personnel details to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan wanted to say that he hadn’t yet fully committed to living with Zhou Yichen, had he?
But on second thought, Wen Nan realized that the other was preparing him to probe the details of those 7 people?
With this thought, Wen Nan nodded, "I got it, I’ll rember it."
About forty minutes later, the car slowly drove onto an immaculately trimd lawn, and from a distance, they saw Zhou Yichen standing on the front steps, like a stone yearning for her husband, looking toward the gate.
Upon seeing the familiar black car arriving, Zhou Yichen’s initially tense face imdiately blossod into a smile. She waved energetically, sweetly calling out,
"Husband! You’re finally back! I was so worried about you!"
