Zhou Xing patted Luo Qianqian in his arms and said, "Hasn't it only been a few days since we last saw each other?"
Luo Qianqian, however, was relentless, clinging tightly to Zhou Xing.
Then she looked up, her watery eyes holding a peculiar glint. "A single day apart feels like three years. Calculate for yourself how many times you owe me; I'm going to make up for all of them later."
Zhou Xing chuckled, looking at Luo Qianqian.
Every time, Luo Qianqian was the one who shouted the loudest, and she was also the quickest to beg for mercy.
Yet, she never tired of it.
He was already used to it.
Truth be told... after not seeing her for a few days, he really did miss Luo Qianqian a bit.
Although she wasn't the most beautiful among his women...
...she was definitely the one most willing to lower herself for him.
A woman who knows how to act spoiled has the best luck.
What man could resist a woman whose eyes were filled only with him?
"It's about time. Let's go; I'll take you to lunch."
Zhou Xing glanced at his wristwatch and said to Luo Qianqian.
"Okay, Hubby."
After hearing Zhou Xing's words, Luo Qianqian nodded obediently, then quickly ran back to where she had been, grabbed her luggage, and rushed into Zhou Xing's arms once more.
She clung to Zhou Xing tightly, like a koala.
Zhou Xing could only smile at this. He walked to the parking area, put Luo Qianqian's small suitcase into the front trunk, and got into the driver's seat.
Luo Qianqian sat in the passenger seat, her eyes bright as she watched Zhou Xing. She took the initiative to grab his right hand, their fingers interlacing.
Her face was filled with a happy smile.
Zhou Xing immediately started the car.
He headed toward Wangjiang Pavilion with Luo Qianqian.
Wangjiang Pavilion at Three on the Bund, which was once rated by 'Traveler' magazine as one of the 'twenty indispensable experiences in a lifetime,' required a reservation in advance.
But for Zhou Xing, the procedures weren't that cumbersome.
They entered a private small booth.
After getting Zhou Xing's consent, Luo Qianqian sat completely on his lap, using a spoon to scoop up pan-seared foie gras mixed with apple puree and feeding it to him.
Then, she tirelessly stuffed him with all kinds of delicacies.
There was no need for Zhou Xing to lift a finger.
Only when she saw that Zhou Xing was full and satisfied did Luo Qianqian, who was already famished, start eating.
After Luo Qianqian finished eating...
She pulled Zhou Xing and said impatiently, "Hubby, Hubby, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
Upon learning that Zhou Xing was free, Luo Qianqian said excitedly, "Then how about we have an 'international flight' this afternoon?"
Facing such a request...
Zhou Xing naturally had no reason to refuse.
Driving the car with Luo Qianqian, he entered the Gubei No. 1 residential area.
They arrived at another house he had purchased.
This one was also fully furnished.
The decoration was extremely exquisite... Although the area wasn't as large as the duplex he lived in—only about 380 square meters—it still made Luo Qianqian cry out in surprise.
"Do you like it?"
Zhou Xing asked with a smile.
Luo Qianqian nodded subconsciously.
"If you like it, stay here."
Luo Qianqian turned her head, looking at Zhou Xing in disbelief.
"This house was prepared specifically for you. I've already entered your information with the property management. In the future, whenever you come to Shanghai, you can just stay here."
Zhou Xing appeared very calm. The reason he bought so many houses was, firstly, to have places to stay himself, and secondly, for his women.
To hide a beauty in a golden house, one must have a golden house.
After all, it was only the right to reside, not a transfer of ownership to them.
If they were to part ways amicably in the future...
Perhaps Zhou Xing would consider gifting them a house, but those things were too far off.
His women seemed to have an increasing tendency to be clingy.
Unless he took the initiative to let them go...
...the probability of them choosing to leave was almost non-existent.
"Hubby, what should I do?"
Luo Qianqian said with some distress, "I'm already a 'husband slave' now. If this continues, I won't know what to do with myself."
"What do you think?"
Zhou Xing raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
"Hubby."
"Hmm?"
Luo Qianqian looked up cooperatively. "When we first entered this house, it seemed like the water was cut off. But for some reason, when I saw your face, the water started flowing."
Zhou Xing also understood what Luo Qianqian meant... the curtains slowly opened.
Outside, the sky had completely darkened.
What surprised Zhou Xing a little was...
...that Luo Qianqian, who usually chickened out the fastest, was gritting her teeth and persevering this time, refusing to admit defeat no matter what.
Instead, she used every trick in her book.
Even though she was exhausted, she still maintained her 'duty.'
Finally, drenched in sweat and unable to squeeze out a single ounce of strength, she raised a white flag of surrender to Zhou Xing with a hoarse voice.
This time... Zhou Xing had also consumed a lot of physical energy.
After resting for quite a while...
...he gradually regained his spirits.
He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of ice water.
After unscrewing it, he drank more than half the bottle in one breath.
He felt the icy sensation sliding down into his stomach.
Then he took out another bottle.
He returned to the bedroom.
He unscrewed it and handed it to Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian, however, just lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, not making any movement.
Zhou Xing didn't force her.
He simply placed the water on the bedside table.
After resting for another half hour or so...
...Luo Qianqian finally picked up the water from the bedside table and took a large gulp.
She struggled to crawl up.
Realizing that Zhou Xing wasn't in the bedroom, she threw on some clothes and went to the living room.
There, she saw Zhou Xing standing in front of the living room window, looking down at the night view ahead.
On the dining table...
...were steaming hot meals prepared by the property's restaurant and delivered personally by the butler.
Luo Qianqian went forward and hugged Zhou Xing's waist, pressing her face against his broad back, and whispered, "Hubby."
"Awake?"
Zhou Xing asked without turning his head.
"Mm."
"If you're awake, let's eat first."
Zhou Xing said.
After a busy afternoon, both of them had nearly exhausted their physical strength. Even Zhou Xing was starving, his stomach growling, not to mention Luo Qianqian, whose stamina was much lower.
Luo Qianqian went obediently to the dining table, arranged the bowls and chopsticks, served the rice, and placed it in front of Zhou Xing.
Then she took out some hawthorn juice from the refrigerator for him.
She poured a glass.
Only then did she sit down at the table and start feasting.
She really was famished.
So, she ate much faster than usual.
Even so... she didn't forget to occasionally pick up food for Zhou Xing. "Hubby, this dish tastes great, try it. This one is also pretty good."
Zhou Xing looked at the food in his bowl, then looked up at Luo Qianqian with a smile and said, "Alright, tell me, what is it you want to say to me?"
