Zhou Qiaoqiao kept praising Zhen Guoan along the way, saying, “Your friend is really nice! He came to our place early in the morning and spent an hour helping us move our luggage. He even arranged a moving company for us free of charge. You must have had a great time together!”

“Hehe…” Yan Wei looked at the bill sent by Zhen Guoan, chuckled coldly a few times, and thought, “The reimbursement process is quite fast.”

The residential complex here was more upscale than Zhou Qiaoqiao’s area. The first floor had many leisure areas, and Zhou Qiaoqiao even saw some people playing mahjong.

The elevators were to the right after entering the door, with two elevators in total, and the emergency staircase was opposite the elevators.

The floor tiles on the ground were shiny, and there were standing flower pots on both sides of the elevators. The whole environment was refreshing to the eyes and mind.

“This place feels amazing!” Zhou Qiaoqiao looked around and concluded.

Yan Wei pushed her into the elevator as it arrived and casually responded, “As long as you like it.”

The apartment Yan Wei bought was the third door on the left. It had a keypad lock.

Yan Wei entered the code, confirmed with his fingerprint, and then opened the door. As soon as the door opened, there was a three-story white shoe cabinet on the right. On top of the shoe cabinet, there were two fabric bags placed on a wire frame.

In one bag, various small items that are commonly carried in and out of the door are placed, including keys. The other bag is used to hold coins, specifically prepared for Zhou Qiaoqiao.

Two pairs of slippers were already placed at the entrance, and the floor inside was covered with glazed marble-patterned tiles, also in warm colors. The floor was cleaned spotlessly, without a speck of dust. Zhou Qiaoqiao’s old blankets, pots, and bowls were now packed in boxes and placed on the floor of the living room.

The layout here was somewhat similar to Zhou Qiaoqiao’s previous apartment, with one difference: this studio apartment had a loft, and the combined area of the two floors exceeded 60 square meters, larger than the previous one. As it was a loft, the second floor only had the bedroom, occupying only half of the first floor. It stood directly above the kitchen and bathroom, with no obstruction above the living room, providing a clear view of the ceiling. As a result, the ceiling was particularly high, creating a spacious and bright atmosphere.

The kitchen and bathroom were newly renovated, and following the stairs, one could directly reach the tatami bed on the second floor, with a clear view of the various items in the living room downstairs. Even more wonderful, this studio apartment had a huge balcony big enough to place a table and two chairs for sunbathing.

While looking at the expression on Zhou Qiaoqiao’s face, she became puzzled again: “A house like this… even if it’s cheap, it can’t be that cheap, right?”

Yan Wei closed the door and hugged her into the living room, saying, “Why worry so much? Whether it’s expensive or cheap, we just need to live here comfortably.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao deeply felt the truth in this statement and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Qiaoqiao spent several hours placing each item in its designated place, with Yan Wei helping on the side. By the time they finished organizing, it was already 5 p.m. Both of them were tired. Yan Wei had already moved his clothes to the wardrobe on the second floor and prepared a set of clean clothes for Zhou Qiaoqiao.

“Let’s take a shower. Afterward, we can go out to eat. We’re too tired today, so let’s not cook.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded, took the clothes, and went to take a shower.

Later, when Zhou Qiaoqiao summarized this incident, she said that all men were the same: they viewed the world with a perverted mind…

Yan Wei defended himself, saying, “How can you say I’m at fault here? When I take a shower, I only need a pair of underwear. I didn’t expect that women also need a bra; it’s forgivable, right?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao coldly laughed, “Not having a bra can be forgiven, but you didn’t even give me a towel.”

Yan Wei, being shameless, replied, “I forgot! We’ve already slept together, do I still need to worry about that one glance?”

Finally, Zhou Qiaoqiao had nothing to say. She wrapped herself in the towel handed by Yan Wei and held her clothes, revealing a pair of cute, fair, and tender little feet with round toes and attractive pink nails.

Yan Wei looked her up and down and jokingly said, “Actually, I’m missing out by not taking that one glance.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s face instantly turned red, she glared at him, and quickly ran upstairs.

Yan Wei watched her figure and shook his head, teasing her, “You’re more likely to expose yourself like that!”

Zhou Qiaoqiao had reached the second floor by now. She leaned over the glass railing and shouted at Yan Wei, “Pervert!”

Yan Wei wasn’t offended and went to take a shower, holding his clothes.

When Yan Wei came out, Zhou Qiaoqiao was already wearing her little fairy dress and a flat straw hat.

It had been a month since Zhou Qiaoqiao shaved her head, and now with her hair only 1cm long, wearing a wig was uncomfortable for her. So she decided to wear a hat, and in another month or two, her hair would be long enough and she wouldn’t need the hat anymore.

Yan Wei had been in a hurry when he was kicked out of the house and didn’t have time to grab his clothes, so he had to endure it for a while at Zhou Qiaoqiao’s place. When they moved into this new house, he brought a lot of clothes with him.

At this moment, he was standing downstairs wearing an Armani short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts, and when he saw Zhou Qiaoqiao coming down, his cold expression softened.

“Let’s go!” Yan Wei reached out his hand, and Zhou Qiaoqiao let him hold it.

On their first day of moving in, because Zhen Guoan had taken care of everything that could be done, Zhou Qiaoqiao only unpacked and arranged a few things, quickly filling the room with a sense of life. When they went out and looked at the things in the house, Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled slightly. This would be their home from now on.

Yan Wei taught Zhou Qiaoqiao how to use the password lock at the entrance first, then he had her input her fingerprint, and said to her, “Usually, you only need to scan your fingerprint to enter. I added the step of entering a password for extra security.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao didn’t understand, she just nodded. She was used to using keys normally, and she wasn’t comfortable with entering a password. If she could just use her fingerprint to open the door, she would feel more at ease.

Zhou Qiaoqiao happily followed Yan Wei and took the elevator downstairs. This was a tourist area, and there were many restaurants, especially ones with local specialties.

Zhou Qiaoqiao said to Yan Wei, “You’re not working right now, so you don’t have any money! Let me treat you to ramen today!”

Yan Wei didn’t care much about it. What he valued was not the food, but who he was eating with.

The noodle shop was a 20-minute walk from their home. The noodles weren’t bad, but they weren’t particularly delicious either. After finishing their meal, Zhou Qiaoqiao took Yan Wei on a leisurely walk back.

The community was lively in the evening. The midday heat had gradually dissipated, and people were taking their children out for a walk and play. Many people who had finished work drove their cars into the area. Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at this scene and said with a touch of envy, “I used to dream of living like this.”

Yan Wei held her hand and said, “We will.”

Of course, even though they had moved into a new house, they had already slept together before, so there was no embarrassment about sleeping together again.

Moreover, Yan Wei’s workroom was originally a bachelor apartment with only one bed, so Zhou Qiaoqiao had long resigned herself to it!

Zhou Qiaoqiao lay on the bed, which was a tatami bed and very close to the ground. The railing next to her was made of glass, so she could easily see the view on the first floor.

In this new environment, the feeling of unfamiliarity was strong.

Zhou Qiaoqiao turned and snuggled up to Yan Wei, then closed her eyes and fell asleep. Yan Wei, who was already immersed in his dreams, sensed the woman beside him and naturally reached out to embrace her.

---

“Yan Wei, hurry up! We’ll be late.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao stood at the door urging him, but Yan Wei just looked at her coldly while eating.

Zhou Qiaoqiao was getting anxious and said, “It’s my first day at work, my first day at work! Stop eating.”

Yan Wei coldly replied, “It’s my first day at work too, and we won’t be late.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao held her bag and said, “We should go early! On the first day, we should go early and leave a good impression on the boss!”

Yan Wei continued to eat indifferently and said, “We still have 40 minutes, no rush.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao was extremely anxious. She could have gone out by herself, but Yan Wei said his workplace happened to be on the way.

Finally, to Zhou Qiaoqiao’s eager anticipation, Yan Wei finally left.

Looking at Yan Wei’s casual attire, Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but ask him, “Your company must be good if you can dress like this, right?” Aren’t construction workers usually dressed in suits and leather shoes?

Yan Wei thought for a moment and concluded, “My job mainly involves making phone calls for projects. There are others who handle the reception.”

The two of them talked as they went downstairs. Since it was a tourist area, transportation was convenient, and there were many bus routes. They hadn’t even waited a minute on the bus platform before a bus arrived. Zhou Qiaoqiao pulled Yan Wei onto the bus.

Yan Wei led Zhou Qiaoqiao to the back seat. Today, she was wearing a red polka dot chiffon dress, carrying a small white leather bag about the size of a palm, and wearing a breathable flat straw hat.

With her fair complexion, the red dress made her appear even fairer, giving her a delicate and fragile look.

Yan Wei couldn’t help but say that Zhou Qiaoqiao indeed had good skin and a pair of lively eyes. These two qualities were enough to attract attention, not to mention she wasn’t ugly either.

“Take this with you,” Yan Wei handed her a bottle of spray.

Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at it and saw the word “mist” written on it, a specialized term she couldn’t understand.

“What is this?” Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at him in confusion.

Yan Wei said, “Xiyuan brought it from the State Security Bureau yesterday. She said it’s a gift for you to carry with you, something for moisturizing?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao held the spray, looking puzzled. “???” Oh, it’s the kind you spray on your face.

Yan Wei chuckled and said, “Don’t look at me like that, it’s pitiful.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao: “Pity???”

Probably pitiful! Yan Wei thought and then explained, “This is what she brought back from her last trip to France. She said she didn’t know your shoe size, so she didn’t buy any clothes. She also brought a set of cosmetics for you. I put it on the dressing table. Didn’t you see it?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, “Is it the white cardboard box with an English word on it?”

“What kind of description is that?” Yan Wei was speechless for a moment, but he didn’t dwell on it. He simply said, “Yes! The things she uses are generally good. You can try them out, and if they work well, I’ll ask her to bring more.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao, with her light makeup done using her affordable cosmetics, said, “No need. I can use one set for several years.”

Yan Wei: “???”

Zhou Qiaoqiao burst into laughter. “Hahaha… I’ll put on makeup today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, but from now on, I won’t wear makeup to work!”

Yan Wei, “???” Well, even though he didn’t understand, his Qiaoqiao looked beautiful without makeup.

The bus arrived at Zhou Qiaoqiao’s company after two stops. Yan Wei watched as Zhou Qiaoqiao got up and got off the bus. Zhou Qiaoqiao turned back and said to him, “Yan Wei, see you tonight!”

Yan Wei smiled at her, and Zhou Qiaoqiao left.

After Zhou Qiaoqiao left, Yan Wei stayed on the bus for one more stop before getting off. He stood by the roadside for less than a minute before a Maybach approached.

The car stopped in front of Yan Wei, and the door opened automatically. Mao Liang looked at Yan Wei and greeted, “Boss.”

Yan Wei nodded with an indifferent expression on his face, then got into the car. The door closed as if it sensed it, and the car slowly left the bus platform. Then the car reached the opposite side of the road and returned on the same route.

The people on the bus platform watched the car leave, collectively stunned for a long time. They began to think, didn’t that man just got off the bus? Moreover, isn’t the car now heading in the same direction he came from?

Of course, in the future, they would frequently witness this phenomenon.

Yan Wei took a tablet computer out of the bag in the back seat and began to look at some information.

Yan Wei was focused on the information. Only when they passed the supermarket where Zhou Qiaoqiao worked did he look up, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and for the first time, he felt a sense of motivation. He was now someone who would support his wife.

After passing that supermarket, Yan Wei lowered his head again to read the information…

Sansukini: Tsk! Very deceptive, Mr. Yan. This lie really started because QQ is such a twit and easily jumped into her own conclusions, and YW wants to cohabitate. Will the lie backfire?
