Chapter 66 The Doting Husband Begins to Go Online
Hua Meimei thought to herself that she probably wouldn't be staying here for long, so she wouldn't need to trouble Butler Bai with anything.
He smiled politely at Bai Ning and leaned forward slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble Butler Bai."
Bai Ning was startled and quickly bowed to her, saying, "Madam, you flatter me. This is my duty."
Her reaction today was exactly the same as when she played his wife at the Luo family home. Humble, polite, elegant, and poised.
This is my own home, I should relax and not play any role.
Luo Jiuyu put his arm around her slender waist and led her toward the restaurant. "You are the mistress of the house, everything here is yours, relax."
“It’s yours, not mine,” she emphasized. “I said before that I wanted to divorce you, but I didn’t want any of your assets. I would leave with nothing in the divorce.”
She felt uncomfortable with him constantly holding her hand and hugging her waist. She was more used to the way they argued.
“If we had actually divorced before, I would have given you a share of the assets. I wouldn’t have wronged you. But I won’t divorce you; what’s mine is yours.”
She tried to pry the hand off her waist, but he held it tightly, even taking the opportunity to intertwine their fingers. She looked up at him in surprise, a sly smile playing on his lips.
"Luo Jiuyu, you weren't like this before. Are you possessed today?" Hua Meimei even suspected that Luo Jiuyu had been possessed by some rogue's soul.
"I wasn't like this before, but thanks to you I've become like this. Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Luo Jiuyu lowered his head and brought his face close to hers, his warm breath hitting her face, causing a surge of emotions within her.
The servants, seeing them so intimate in public, were too embarrassed to look directly at each other and exchanged knowing glances while trying to hide their amusement.
This was the first time he had teased her like this, and Hua Meimei's face turned bright red.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they found only him and her sitting together at the large table, eating together.
The remaining dozen or so seats were empty.
She asked, puzzled, "Since you usually eat alone, why did you buy such a big dining table? And why so many chairs?"
Luo Jiuyu busied herself putting food on her plate, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, our future generations will fill the table."
How many years from now? Hua Meimei was eating a small bowl of crab roe fried rice that he had made for her when she accidentally bit her tongue and made a soft hissing sound.
"What's wrong?" He put down his chopsticks, reached out and pinched her chin, then brought his face close to hers.
She gave an awkward smile. "It's nothing, I just bit my tongue."
"Are you bleeding? Let me see."
"No, it's nothing."
He was being overly nervous.
"Hmm, do you like the food the chef at home makes?" He looked up and met her eyes.
As they gazed at each other so closely, her heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she straightened her back and leaned back, moving a little further away from him. "It's quite delicious."
"Tell Bai Ning what you like to eat in the future, and he will tell the kitchen to make it for you." He then moved a little closer to her, almost pressing her against the back of the chair.
She frowned and said reproachfully, "Luo Jiuyu, don't get so close to me."
My heart is beating too fast, I can't take it anymore.
"Berry, what should I do? I don't want to eat." His tone was sticky and affectionate, as if he were whining.
She said, "Why don't I want to eat? Isn't it delicious?"
“Because I want…” He lightly pecked her lips, his eyes filled with desire, “to eat you.”
Help……
Hua Meimei froze completely. Her usual brute strength had vanished, leaving her utterly defenseless.
How could he be such a scoundrel!
"Luo Jiuyu, if you keep doing this, I'm leaving." She tried to push him away by pressing her hands against his chest, but he held her hands tightly.
"You're my wife, where do you think you're going?" Luo Jiuyu smiled indulgently. "You like money, so I'll give you all my money."
"You're giving me your company, which is worth hundreds of billions?"
"Here you go! I'll take the free gift too."
“I’ll think about it,” she said, raising an eyebrow.
He chuckled and playfully pinched her nose. "My wife is so greedy, how can I not work hard to earn money?"
"You call me 'wife' rather affectionately," she snorted, still feeling angry as she recalled his past treatment of her.
"I know you're hungry, so eat first. I'll let you finish eating before I eat you." He smiled at her before reluctantly leaving her side and sitting back in his chair.
She stuck the spoon into the fried rice and continued eating, but in her mind she was planning how to refuse his attempt to "eat" her that night.
Suddenly, a spoonful of caviar was placed near her mouth, and she instinctively opened her mouth and ate it. She had barely finished chewing and swallowing when a piece of peeled king crab meat was placed near her mouth, so she opened her mouth and ate that too.
They were fed like this until they were full.
She let out a burp, finally able to rest.
This is the first time I've discovered that eating is both convenient and tiring; the experience is quite strange.
He was busy feeding her; he hadn't eaten much himself.
She asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I eat very quickly. You go to your room and rest first. I'll come find you later." After he finished speaking, he called over Bai Ning, the housekeeper, and asked her to lead him to the master bedroom on the third floor.
Bai Ning led her to the third floor in the home elevator, giving her a brief introduction to each floor.
The first floor has a restaurant, a living room, entertainment and relaxation rooms, as well as rooms for servants and security guards.
The second floor houses Luo Jiuyu's office and study, as well as a room where he keeps his collection, a large living room, and some guest rooms.
The third floor contains the master bedroom and an important secondary bedroom, as well as an office and study.
People working here are not allowed to go up to the third floor unless it is for work purposes, except for cleaning.
Security guards patrol each floor from time to time.
When did he buy this house?
In Tiancheng, how could no one have noticed such a large house here?
I have never seen any reports about it.
Luo Jiuyu is well hidden.
"The manor was built by the gentleman three years ago."
"He bought the land? I've never seen any media reports about it, nor have I heard anyone else mention it." Hua Meimei breathed a sigh of relief. How much would such a large piece of land cost?
"This place is quite remote, far from the city center, and there are no amenities nearby, so no one would pay attention to it."
Is there a helipad in the yard?
"Yes, madam. My husband comes here to catch his flight when he travels abroad on business."
Hua Meimei then asked, "Is there a bed in the second bedroom?"
"Yes, it's clean every day. Even when no one lives there, the servants will clean it regularly and then put the sheets back on."
"Okay." She had an idea and nodded in satisfaction.
Bai Ning led her to the door of the master bedroom and left, reminding her that there was a walkie-talkie on the wall inside the room so she could call the maid downstairs if she needed anything.
She thanked him, opened the carved door to the master bedroom, and went inside.
The interior is simply and elegantly furnished, with furniture made of expensive materials such as rosewood and golden nanmu.
Luo Jiuyu had said that she had already asked someone to buy clothes according to her size, wash them, and put them in the closet. She went to open the closet and, sure enough, there were many women's clothes.
The shelves were overflowing with items: loungewear, pajamas, everyday dresses, and business attire. The designs were exquisite and stylish, the fabrics luxurious, the workmanship meticulous, and the prices high—all designer brands.
She grabbed a few outfits she wanted to wear and then secretly slipped out of the master bedroom and into the hallway.
Walk all the way to the second bedroom at the very end of the corridor and then go inside.
Locked.
Great. She's going to hide here to take a shower and then go to sleep.
She ran into the bathroom to turn on the hot water and giggled at herself in the pretty, bright mirror.
Luo Jiuyu, don't even think about eating me!
