Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 55 My Obedient Wife

Yan Zhuoyu smiled politely and replied, "Of course, I completely understand. I was often confused when I first moved here too."

The man nodded in response, then entered the elevator and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The workers began moving furniture busily and in an orderly manner. Qiao Xinyun noticed Yan Zhuoyu's unease and leaned closer to ask softly, "What's wrong? You seem a little... well, restless."

Yan Zhuoyu loosened her grip on her hand and smiled casually, "Is it obvious?"

Qiao Xinyun shrugged: "It's not obvious, but I can tell that you pick at your nail polish when you're anxious."

"Alright then." Yan Zhuoyu gently stroked her fingertips and lowered her voice, saying, "Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I just felt that the person from earlier was a bit off."

She explained her concerns to Qiao Xinyun in detail: "When we were waiting for the elevator on the first floor, the display screen clearly showed the fifth floor. It was obviously not like what that man said, that he realized he had gone to the wrong floor and immediately pressed the elevator button to go back. I don't know how long he stayed here, but I'm sure he was lying."

Before living with Pei Weijin, she had lived alone for two years and was very perceptive of these details. Perhaps it was because women are naturally more sensitive to danger, but she always made the worst-case scenario plan based on the situation.

"Stalker?" Qiao Xinyun was a little scared: "It's a good thing you insisted on waiting for the workers to go upstairs together. If you had listened to me, something might have happened."

Yan Zhuoyu told her to tell the workers to leave the items that were difficult to move here for the time being and to finish moving them as soon as possible before leaving.

She stood alone on the balcony and dialed the property management's number.

"Hello, Ms. Yan, how can I help you?"

The voices of the property management staff made her feel a little more at ease.

"My friend wants to buy the apartment above mine. Could you please help me schedule an appointment with the manager to see when would be convenient?"

"The one on the eighth floor? Is this weekend okay?" The property management staff readily agreed.

Having confirmed that the eighth-floor apartment was still for sale, Yan Zhuoyu became even more certain of her judgment: the man was not a resident of the eighth floor at all.

The workers had almost finished moving everything. Yan Zhuoyu took a picture of the house and the doorway with her phone, locked the doors and windows, and went downstairs with the workers.

Just before getting into the car, Yan Zhuoyu, for some reason, subconsciously looked up at the building.

A figure flashed past the window of the eighth-floor corridor.

Qiao Xinyun drove Yan Zhuoyu home safely. The journey was peaceful, but Yan Zhuoyu still felt a little uneasy.

"Sister Qiao, try not to travel alone these next few days. I'll have a bodyguard accompany you back."

Qiao Xinyun nodded, jokingly trying to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, then pick me a wolf-type bodyguard, the kind that's both handsome and fierce. Someone under 1.8 meters tall can't protect me."

"Of course, the Pei family's salary isn't easy to earn."

They must all be top-notch bodyguards.

-

When Pei Weijin returned home, he noticed some new, oddly shaped items in the house and asked cheerfully, "Did you move?"

"Ah."

Yan Zhuoyu felt it was very necessary to tell her husband about what happened today.

As she spoke, she secretly observed Pei Weijin's reaction.

Don't you think she's making a fuss over nothing and making an excessive fuss?

Unexpectedly, yet within her expectations, Pei Weijin showed no impatience whatsoever; instead, he meticulously planned her safety.

"I'll increase the number of bodyguards in the next few days to ensure your safety. Don't worry, the crew won't find out. I'll also have the security company send a female bodyguard for close protection. Just tell everyone she's a newly hired assistant."

Finally, he didn't forget to praise her: "My dear wife is very safety-conscious. It's a very good thing that you stay vigilant. In the future, if you encounter a similar situation, you should report it to your family in time. You did the right thing."

Yan Zhuoyu originally had some questions she wanted to ask, but when she heard the phrase "good wife," her mind went blank.

"What did you call me just now?"

Pei Weijin took off his watch and placed it on the dressing table. Before turning to go into the bathroom, he deliberately slowed down his speech, his voice deep and clear: "My dear wife."

"That's how married couples usually address each other, it's normal, isn't it?"

Yan Zhuoyu stared blankly at the black and gold watch, her expression slightly strange, yet seemingly quite normal.

It was quite a contrast that Pei Weijin, with his aloof and indifferent appearance, used such an intimate term of address.

"feel good."

She liked the new nickname, and she preferred Pei Weijin to praise her for being safety-conscious, rather than criticizing her for being "too sensitive" like others did.

A few fine scratches are faintly visible on the dial of the black and gold watch, probably from a minor scrape in the garage that day.

Yan Zhuoyu held the watch close to her wrist, compared it to her own, and muttered to herself, "Will he like couple's watches?"

The shower in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and she hurriedly and guiltily put her watch back in its place.

Yan Zhuoyu was taken aback: "That's not right, this is the watch I gave him. I was just looking at it, why are you so guilty?"

She came back early, had already taken a shower, and was wearing a soft bathrobe, arrogantly taking over the entire bed.

The phone screen displays a shopping app, showcasing a dazzling array of high-end couple watches.

Someone brazenly muttered, "If you dare say you don't like it, I'll make you penniless."

While I was browsing watches, Qin Zhuyue suddenly sent me two links.

[Xiaoyuezi: Help me see which of these two looks better.]

Yan Zhuoyu perked up and quickly replied: 【Hey, what a coincidence! I'm also picking something out, and I have two watches I can't decide on. Can you help me decide?】

After sending the message, she clicked on the link Qin Zhuyue sent, and after seeing what the product was, she almost dropped her phone on her face.

!!!

It's clothing, but not ordinary clothing.

The first item is a lace nightgown with a slit at the bottom and a butterfly pattern with dense mesh on the top. The waist is held together by a thin strap, which will loosen with a gentle pull.

The other one was even more revealing than the lace nightgown: a bright red halter top and a sheer, ancient-style dress that was practically drafty...

They really don't treat her like an outsider.
