After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before New Year's Day.

This year, New Year's Day falls right after the weekend, resulting in a three-day holiday.

That will inevitably be a peak tourist season, with huge crowds of people.

But Lu Shiyi felt fine; in fact, she quite liked lively atmospheres.

Huafu Junyuan.

In the morning, after watering the flowers on the balcony, Lu Shiyi started to collect the laundry.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around my waist from behind.

Fu Cheng looked up at the short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and floral shirts hanging on the balcony, as well as brightly colored tank tops and wide-leg pants—all beachwear.

Not only Lu Shiyi's, but also his.

My wife prepared all of this especially for me.

"Are you really looking forward to this beach vacation?" The man's warm breath brushed against Lu Shiyi's ear.

Lu Shiyi pried his hands off, took the opportunity to turn around, and asked in return, "Aren't you looking forward to it?"

This is the first vacation the couple has ever taken together. Wouldn't it be a bit hypocritical to say they're not looking forward to it?

Lu Shiyi bought her gear online a couple of days ago: clothes, a sun-protective cover-up, a hat, sunglasses, and two pairs of shoes.

Two pairs per person: flat shoes for easy walking and sandals for the beach.

Fully equipped and full of ritual.

Fu Cheng's voice was low and hoarse, "I'm even more excited than you are."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and head to prepare... but Lu Shiyi raised her hand and covered her mouth.

"I'm going to be late for work soon, hurry up and go eat. I'll come over after I finish collecting the laundry."

Fu Cheng had no choice but to give up and obediently turned around to go to the kitchen to get the food.

He had just put the food on the table when Lu Shiyi came over after collecting the laundry.

Fu Cheng thoughtfully handed chopsticks to his wife, saying, "I'll leave work early this afternoon to pick you up."

Lu Shiyi took the chopsticks and asked, "Don't you have to work overtime today?"

"No need. It's a company benefit. Employees can leave early on holidays and can leave at 3 pm."

In previous years, it was always the employees who enjoyed it; he, the boss, had never had the chance to enjoy it.

This year, he's going to make an exception and enjoy himself.

Lu Shiyi exclaimed again, "Big companies are indeed big companies, so impressive!"

Then she asked, "Did you go back to your hometown yesterday?"

Yesterday afternoon, Grandpa Fu called Lu Shiyi, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood.

That is, the old man made the phone call after Fu Cheng left the old house.

Lu Shiyi asked out of curiosity and learned that Fu Cheng had gone back to see his grandfather, which explained why the old man was so happy.

"Yes, I went back to get some things."

But he didn't say what it was.

That was a surprise he had prepared on purpose, so naturally he wouldn't reveal it now.

Fu Cheng also specifically told his grandfather not to blabber.

Although the old man eventually couldn't resist calling his granddaughter-in-law, he didn't dare reveal anything on the phone, only chuckling incessantly.

When Lu Shiyi asked him curiously, he could only say that it was because his eldest grandson, Fu Cheng, had come home to visit him.

Fu Cheng took his wife's hand from across the room and said, "After our vacation, I'll take you back to our hometown for a visit."

Lu Shiyi nodded, "Okay."

Her husband had never mentioned taking her back to his hometown, and she had never asked him about it.

Now that he's taking the initiative to bring it up, Lu Shiyi believes it signifies that their relationship has progressed another step forward.

Lu Shiyi was still very happy.

The sweet smile on her face is the best proof.

But a few seconds later, Fu Cheng saw his wife suddenly pull her hand away and question him, "Did you not only secretly go back to your hometown to see your grandfather, but you also secretly went to see your parents?"

Just as Fu Cheng was completely confused, Lu Shiyi added, "My parents, did you secretly go back to my hometown and visit my parents?"

Fu Cheng went from being confused to stunned, and finally to being both confused and stunned.

He didn't know why his wife would suddenly ask that question, but he had never gone back to his wife's hometown alone.

Fu Cheng shook his head innocently and confusedly, "No."

"When I went back to my hometown last weekend, why did my parents keep praising you in front of me? Not only did they praise you, but they also kept urging and educating me, telling me to be more considerate and caring towards you, saying that you are too busy with work and that I should take care of the family more. They also told me to take good care of you and not to make you feel wronged... I'm starting to wonder which side they're on. Confess honestly, did you secretly bribe them?"

Fu Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That only means that my parents approve of me. What? You're not even jealous of your own parents, are you?"

Lu Shiyi picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Fu Cheng's mouth, saying, "Jealousy is your favorite thing, not mine."

Fu Cheng reluctantly ate his steamed bun, neither refuting nor objecting, which was considered an admission of guilt.

“When I went back this time, my parents asked Yao Yao about Li Haokai, asking if he was under a lot of work pressure and telling him to take care of his health. I really wanted to expose that scumbag's true colors, but I held back in the end. Before going home, Yao Yao said that she planned to tell my parents after all her entanglements with Li Haokai were settled and they were completely divorced. So, when you see your parents in the future, remember not to let it slip.”

Fu Cheng hummed in agreement.

In fact, considering his father-in-law's condition, he wouldn't have brought it up even without his wife's instructions.

My great-grandfather had specifically instructed me that, given my father-in-law's current condition, he should avoid any mental stress.

As for that scumbag Li Haokai, he'll have to settle accounts with Yao Yao after they're completely divorced.

After breakfast, the young couple went out hand in hand.

In the underground parking garage, Fu Cheng insisted on getting a kiss on the cheek before letting Lu Shiyi leave.

Of course, this is when no one is around.

After that, the couple drove to work together.

……

Because he had to leave work at 3 p.m., Fu Cheng's work efficiency was particularly high today.

That's right.

The most direct impact of a boss's increased work efficiency is that his employees start having endless work to finish.

Sure enough, at 3 p.m., Fu Cheng left work on time.

But his employees were still working hard at their desks, rushing to finish their tasks.

I was supposed to leave work early at 3 PM, but I haven't finished my work, so I really don't dare to leave.

When Fu Cheng picked up Lu Shiyi at the study hall, she had just finished making a list and was sitting on the sofa, carefully checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

Seeing her husband come in, she held up a long list in front of Fu Cheng, but before Fu Cheng could see what it was, she immediately put it away, saying, "Let's go home."

Fu Cheng: "What are you holding?"

"You'll find out when we get home."

Fu Cheng smiled and gently patted his wife's head, "As long as you're happy."

That doting little expression filled the air with a sweet scent.

When the two returned home, Fu Cheng finally found out.

That turned out to be his task list.

Lu Shiyi was lounging lazily on the living room sofa, cracking sunflower seeds and watching TV, with the list she had made earlier still in her other hand.

Every now and then, he'd mutter a sentence, "Now I need to pack the toiletries: face towels, sunscreen spray, razor, skincare products..."

Meanwhile, Fu Cheng was busy in the house packing items one by one according to the list his wife read out, and then putting them into his suitcase.

Yes, what Lu Shiyi listed before was a travel essentials checklist.

This once aloof and arrogant man was now running from the balcony to the bedroom, and then from the bedroom to the bathroom.

Every now and then he would run back to the living room, lie down in front of the sofa, and beg his wife to read it again in a coquettish and cute manner.

Lu Shiyi read too many words at once; he couldn't remember them all...
