#207 - Chapter 207 Where should I sleep tonight?

Xu Mengyao weakly said, "Hubby, let's eat first."

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile.

Xu Mengyao ate her meal slowly, but with just that little bit, she still finished it in half an hour.

"Hubby, I have something to go out for a while."

Xu Mengyao stood up and said.

Lin Chen got up and hugged Xu Mengyao.

He said, amused, "Wife, you were the one who said to kiss, but now that I'm kissing you, why do you want to run away?"

Xu Mengyao said coquettishly, "Who wants to run away? I don't. I really remembered that I have something to do."

"Smooch!"

Lin Chen quickly leaned down and kissed Xu Mengyao's small mouth.

She didn't even have time to react before he was done.

"Wife, if you have something to do, you can go now. Do you want me to drive you there?"

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Xu Mengyao was stunned. Her heart beat faster, and her face turned a little pale, but Lin Chen was quick, and she didn't tremble this time.

"Hubby, is that it?"

Xu Mengyao said in surprise.

Lin Chen laughed, "Did you think I was going to give you a French kiss? I'd like to, but if I did that now, the situation would probably be worse than last time."

"I can't just think about my own pleasure."

A warm current surged in Xu Mengyao's heart.

"Hubby, I'll let you kiss me enough in the future."

Xu Mengyao rested her head on Lin Chen's shoulder and said softly.

Lin Chen put his arm around Xu Mengyao's slender waist, "Wife, just kissing enough in the future is not enough."

A look of shyness appeared on Xu Mengyao's face.

"Mmm."

She simply answered with one word.

This one word was better than a thousand words.

"Wife, so what exactly do you have to go out and do?"

Xu Mengyao: "…"

She lightly hammered Lin Chen's back with her fist, "Hubby, you're a bad egg, bringing up what shouldn't be brought up!"

"Beep beep!"

Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.

The two separated, and Lin Chen picked up his phone. It was Song Qingquan calling; he had Song Qingquan's number.

"Hello, President Song."

"Were you satisfied with today's meal?"

Lin Chen answered the phone and said.

Song Qingquan on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Very satisfied. Master Lin, my wife and I would like to meet you. We'd like to treat you to a meal tomorrow. I wonder if that's convenient?"

"Sure, where?"

Lin Chen asked.

Song Qingquan: "Master Lin, I'll send you the address later."

"Okay."

Lin Chen hung up the phone. Xu Mengyao said, "Hubby, who was that?"

"Song Qingquan… He and his wife are inviting me to dinner tomorrow. Wife, do you have time to go to dinner together?"

Xu Mengyao shook her head.

"I have to hurry up and deal with company matters. Hubby, they're inviting you to dinner, they must want you to make more dishes for their daughter. Will you agree to him?"

Lin Chen shook his head.

"Rules are rules. If the rules are broken casually, if I help them, what about others? If I help this one but not that one, I'll end up offending a lot of people."

"Mmm."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

"If their attitude is very good, it's no problem to prioritize them. The three to five meals each month, who specifically gets them is my choice."

Lin Chen said, "Let's not talk about this. Rest for a bit, I'll wash the dishes, and then we'll go for a walk by the river."

"I'll change my clothes."

Xu Mengyao looked down and said.

She was wearing her work clothes, which were quite formal.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao arrived at the riverbank.

The night view of Magic City was beautiful.

Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao walked hand in hand. Occasionally, people recognized them, but no one surrounded them. In this day and age, it's not easy to gain sustained attention.

Many celebrities try every means to get on the trending searches but can't.

"Hubby, something's not right."

"It seems like someone's been following us."

Xu Mengyao whispered close to Lin Chen's ear.

"The woman in the left rear?"

"Mmm… I seem to have seen her during the day too."

Lin Chen chuckled, "You're quite cautious, but she's okay. She's arranged by the state to protect you."

"Protect me?"

Xu Mengyao said in surprise.

Lin Chen: "Yes… There are also people protecting me in secret. There are more people protecting me, so they don't follow as closely. The people protecting you are probably just one or two."

When his security level was S, no one protected Xu Mengyao. Now that it's SS, his family has also received protection.

It's just that the protection his family receives isn't as high.

——The risk to his family will also be much smaller than to himself.

"Hubby, I have bodyguards."

Lin Chen said, "This is arranged by the state. Don't worry, the people protecting you will only be women, and they won't disturb you unless there are special circumstances."

"Just pretend they don't exist."

Xu Mengyao nodded lightly.

She wasn't very unaccustomed to it. After all, she'd always had bodyguards around her. Now there were just a few more.

Two hours passed, and Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao returned home.

"Wife, where am I sleeping tonight?"

"The bed in the study is gone, and the spare bedroom still needs to be aired out."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and said.

Xu Mengyao pointed upstairs, "There's a room upstairs."

Lin Chen shook his head repeatedly, "That won't do. It's not good for couples to sleep in separate rooms, let alone separate houses."

Xu Mengyao glanced at Lin Chen, "Hubby, can't you sleep in the spare bedroom tonight and tomorrow night, but you can in two days?"

"Of course."

"Although I used environmentally friendly materials, there's still an odor in the first two days, which is also somewhat harmful."

Lin Chen said.

With his physique, there wouldn't be any impact, but if he gave up such a good opportunity, he'd be an idiot.

Xu Mengyao's heart beat faster, "Then you can sleep in the master bedroom too. You can sleep later, after I've fallen asleep."

"Wife, I'm sleepy today, I want to sleep early."

Xu Mengyao: "…"

Half an hour later, Lin Chen finished showering. Before him, Xu Mengyao had already showered and lay in bed.

She closed her eyes as if she were asleep.

But with Lin Chen's eyesight, he could clearly see Xu Mengyao's eyelashes trembling slightly.

She was pretending to be asleep.

Lin Chen smiled, and he slowly lifted the quilt.

Two pillows were placed vertically in the middle of the bed, dividing the bed in half, with him and Xu Mengyao sleeping on either side.

Lin Chen slowly lay down on the bed.

He clearly heard Xu Mengyao's heart pounding.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Lin Chen didn't mess around, and Xu Mengyao's heartbeat finally gradually calmed down.

"Sleep, sleep."

"He's my husband, even if something happens, it's no big deal."

Xu Mengyao hypnotized herself in her heart.

She eventually fell asleep in a daze.

Lin Chen turned around and looked at Xu Mengyao.

Xu Mengyao was very close to him, within reach, and it would definitely be comfortable to have her soft, fragrant body in his arms, but Lin Chen resisted doing so. Impatience can easily lead to problems.

It would be sad if Xu Mengyao's condition worsened.

"I've already slept in the same bed, and it's not far from sleeping in each other's arms."

Lin Chen muttered in his heart.

Xu Mengyao's threshold has gradually increased.

If they sleep like this more often, her subconscious will recognize that it's very normal for them to sleep together like this.
