The next day was the weekend.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Xiao knocked on Li Zhen's door. "Li Zhen, are you awake? My boyfriend bought breakfast and asked if we want to eat together."
Li Zhen, enduring soreness all over her body, opened the door with messy hair. "Xiao Xiao, I'm not hungry, thanks. I need to catch up on sleep. I only slept at seven in the morning."
"Huh? You stayed up all night? What were you doing?" Xiao Xiao asked in astonishment.
Li Zhen yawned. "I was doing..."
Li Zhen suddenly froze.
With a loud "bang," she closed the door.
She shouted from behind the door, "Xiao Xiao, I'm not hungry. You don't have to worry about me..."
"Alright," Xiao Xiao turned around, puzzled, and went to the dining room.
Li Zhen turned her head.
On the bed lay the man who had been full of energy like a wolf last night.
She had almost forgotten about last night!
Last night, Lu Yanming had urgently taken off her clothes, which were now haphazardly hanging on a chair.
His originally crisp shirt and trousers were wrinkled and piled up on the bedside table. His gold-rimmed glasses and valuable wristwatch were pressed on top of them.
Five used condoms were arrogantly squeezed into the trash can.
The small room was filled with traces of last night's lovemaking.
The morning light fell on the elegant bridge of his nose, casting a layer of radiance upon his stunning facial features.
Li Zhen squatted down by the bed, resting her cheek on her hand, silently watching Lu Yanming.
This shabby little room unexpectedly concealed such a precious and handsome person.
She felt a sense of pride.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
But in the next second, the man before her slightly opened his eyes.
"Am I good-looking, Zhen Zhen?"
"Cough...," Li Zhen's smile froze at the corner of her lips as she quickly stood up.
But her wrist suddenly felt heavy as Lu Yanming pulled her onto the bed, embracing her. "Can we sleep a little longer?"
"Sure, I just got up because my roommate woke me up. It wasn't intentional to get out of bed and look at you."
"I'm yours. If you want to look, just look. No need to explain," Lu Yanming chuckled.
Li Zhen touched her nose, feeling somewhat uneasy.
It's not her fault.
If Lu Yanming's face were on any other woman's bed, they would be even more infatuated than her.
"Besides your face, I can look at everything else, so don't be shy," Lu Yanming directed Li Zhen to face him and placed her hand on his abdominal muscles.
Lu Yanming's abdominal muscles indeed felt great, and they even had a pleasant fragrance!
Li Zhen:...
She swallowed her saliva.
It was too early for this!
Her waist was still sore.
"Lu Yanming, did you secretly learn some yin and yang cultivation techniques?" Li Zhen weakly asked.
"Are you scared? It's too late," Lu Yanming replied casually.
He covered her hand with his broad palm and said casually, "Zhen Zhen, the film adaptation of 'Moonmark' is in pre-production recently, and I was thinking..."
Lu Yanming felt that something was off and lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
Li Zhen had fallen asleep, breathing softly and steadily. Her hand was still on his abdominal muscles, and she even subconsciously touched them.
Lu Yanming chuckled lightly, pulling her closer into his embrace.
It seemed that she was truly exhausted last night.
-
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Zhen woke up.
She was awakened by Xiao Xiao's sharp scream of "Ah!"
When Li Zhen woke up, her first reaction wasn't to look at Xiao Xiao but to glance around, immediately feeling that something was wrong.
Why was the room so empty!
Upon closer inspection... where were her things?
The room looked as if it had been thoroughly ransacked, completely empty.
Except for a set of clothes for going out and a pair of slippers on her bedside table.
Li Zhen quickly changed into them and went to the living room.
As soon as Xiao Xiao saw her coming out, she exclaimed anxiously, "Li Zhen, has our house been burgled? Your toiletries in the bathroom, all your shoes at the entrance, and all your belongings are gone."
Xiao Xiao had gone out with her boyfriend for a stroll and was terrified when they returned to this scene.
"It's a burglary, a flower thief has broken in," muttered Li Zhen.
"What?" Xiao Xiao didn't hear clearly.
"Never mind..." Li Zhen shook her head.
Li Zhen had no doubt that if he could, Lu Yanming would even want to take her away with him.
After Li Zhen told Xiao Xiao that she was going to move out, she prepared to take her remaining luggage—her cellphone—and return to Huayang Famous Residence.
She knew that Lu Yanming had forced her at this moment because he had sensed her hesitation between going back and not going back.
Li Zhen went downstairs, and the familiar car was parked outside the building.
Fei Zhao stood outside the car, playing with his phone, waiting for her.
As soon as Fei Zhao saw Li Zhen, he immediately put away his phone and smiled from ear to ear. "Miss Li, get in the car. I'll take you back to Huayang Famous Residence."
This period of time, because of his mistake, Li Zhen had moved away, and it was finally over today!
She no longer had to endure the cold gaze of the young master!
"Thank you, Assistant Fei," Li Zhen said as she got into the car.
On the way back to Huayang Famous Residence, Fei Zhao was in such a good mood that he even started humming a song.

At Huayang Famous Residence, Li Zhen stood at the door and skillfully unlocked it with her fingerprint.
Upon entering, she smelled the aroma of food.
In the open kitchen, Lu Yanming was wearing an apron and cooking.
In the dining room, fresh flowers were arranged.
Li Zhen walked over and leaned down to take a sniff.
It smelled delightful.
It was a refreshing fragrance that instantly brought joy to one's heart.
She looked up and gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the flowing river, tranquil and far-reaching.
For a moment, Li Zhen had a feeling.
This was home.
It felt more like home than any place she had ever lived.
"Welcome back, Zhen Zhen," came the voice of Lu Yanming.
Li Zhen turned her head, and Lu Yanming placed two plates of food on the dining table.
Then he approached her and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"We'll eat in ten minutes. Go wash your hands first," he said.
"Okay," Li Zhen rubbed the spot where he had kissed her, feeling a little warm.
The charm of a top-notch husband was radiating once again!
Li Zhen pursed her lips, turned around, and went upstairs.
With such excellent genes and a significant stake in the Li family, her current focus should be on wholeheartedly conceiving their baby.
In the bedroom, Li Zhen took out a little umbrella.
It still hadn't worked after all this time; perhaps the pinhole was too small before.
She carefully examined the little umbrella and indeed didn't see any pinholes.
Li Zhen found a needle and made a larger hole than last time!
But when she took a closer look, the hole seemed a bit exaggerated...
No worries, she could simply turn off the lights next time and personally put it on him.

The photo shoot for the spokesperson of the studio's advertisement had been completed.
Li Zhen and all her colleagues from the advertising department returned to Honghai Headquarters.
On Monday, the company distributed quarterly benefits.
Li Zhen went to the administrative department with Zhang Xiya to collect them.
Zhang Xiya held Li Zhen's arm and said, "Xiao Zhen Zhen, aren't you a fan of Luna, the popular actress? She recently signed on to a big-budget film called 'Moon's Mark,' which is based on a captivating historical mystery novel. The original book is incredibly good!"
"Moon's Mark got a remake?" Li Zhen's eyes instantly lit up.
She had been a fan of the novel back in her middle school days and loved it to bits.
She never expected it would eventually be adapted into a movie.
"You can't be a fake fan, can you? This news has been trending..." Zhang Xiya rolled her eyes at Li Zhen and then smiled, "It will be released in a few months. Let's all go watch it together!"
The two of them continued chatting as they entered the administrative department.
Li Zhen still had a smile on her face, but as soon as she stepped in, she saw Yu Sheng standing inside.
Her smile involuntarily froze.
