Chapter 79 Who Says You Can't Wear a Swimsuit at Home?

“I have a few swimsuits that don’t use much fabric. Should I put them on later and let you pick one?”

Hearing Wen Wan’s suggestive and alluring words, Chen Luo’s eyes widened in surprise, and he almost blurted out a yes on the spot. Fortunately, the self-restraint honed over two lifetimes kept him in check, and he sat up, feigning composure, his words contradicting his true feelings.

“Of course, it’s a must. Let your husband inspect and see if your figure has changed lately.”

“Alright~ Husband, where do you want to start the inspection?”

As she spoke, Wen Wan guided Chen Luo’s hand to her side.

“Honey, I’ve been working out recently. See if it’s made a difference.”

“It has! Absolutely, it has!”

Wen Wan then leaned against Chen Luo, nestling into the crook of his shoulder.

“Excellent. For that, I must give you a major commendation.”

Wen Wan’s smile curved her eyes into crescent moons. She leaned close to Chen Luo’s ear and blew gently.

“Mmm!” Chen Luo felt a tickle in his ear, and a tingle ran down half his body.

“If my husband is so pleased, shouldn’t there be a real reward to show it?”

“There should indeed. Achievements deserve to be rewarded. What kind of reward do you want?”

“Oh, I’ll tell you once we’re home.”

As the two chatted, the car had already pulled up in front of the villa. This time, the drive was swift—clearly on Wen Wan’s instructions, Mo Lan had driven especially fast.

Wen Wan took Chen Luo by the hand and led him into the villa. Mo Lan, catching on instantly, waved her hand, signaling that no one was allowed inside; everyone else was to wait outside and guard the door.

Thump, thump, thump!

Hand in hand, Wen Wan and Chen Luo entered the villa at a brisk pace, leaving behind only their cheerful backs for Mo Lan and the others to see.

At this moment, Wen Wan’s steps were light, her face radiant with a genuine smile, as if holding Chen Luo’s hand meant she was running straight toward heaven itself.

Mo Lan felt moved, sincerely happy for Wen Wan.

“Director Wen, these years have been hard for you. At last, the hardships are over.”

With that, Mo Lan closed the villa doors, standing guard like a deity at the threshold.

After all, it was so rare for Director Wen to be this happy—no one would be allowed to disturb her!

Not even if the emperor himself arrived today would he get through this door!

…

Second floor, inside the villa.

Wen Wan led Chen Luo to the dressing room, brimming with excitement as she opened the wardrobe.

“Wait, you actually bought new swimsuits?”

Chen Luo was a bit stunned. He’d certainly seen every inch of Wen Wan’s figure before, but this would be his first time seeing her in a swimsuit.

“Come on, honey, wait outside and get ready for the swimsuit fashion show!”

She ushered Chen Luo out and drew the curtain.

“A swimsuit fashion show? Where did Wen Wan pick up this idea?”

From behind the curtain came the rustling sounds of clothing being removed, along with a faint, intoxicating scent. Chen Luo felt himself growing dazed, pulled a chair to sit at the dressing room door, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

Days like this were truly wonderful.

Attending college, with Wen Wan as his advisor.

Doing business and making money, with Wen Wan as his investor and greatest support.

Enjoying life, and it was Wen Wan who gave him the greatest emotional satisfaction.

At moments like this, Chen Luo couldn’t help but wonder if in his previous life he’d lived like a dog—struggling for over a decade, only to meet a tragic end.

Now, reborn, he had everything he could possibly want. Was this the so-called law of balance? Suffering enough in a previous life and enjoying blessings in this one?

He really wanted to just lie down and live an easy life. No, wait!

Chen Luo! Chen Luo! You can’t lose your resolve!

The Wen family is no ordinary household, and the road ahead is still long. If he wanted to marry Wen Wan smoothly, he’d need to achieve much more.

His future father-in-law alone was no easy man—just earning his approval would require immense wealth and influence.

As Chen Luo kept reminding himself inwardly, there was a sudden swish—the dressing room curtain was flung open.

Chen Luo’s eyes snapped open, and he involuntarily sucked in a breath.

With the curtain drawn back, Wen Wan, her figure nothing short of devilish, stood before him in a black bikini.

The swimsuit was cut perfectly; the straps were cleverly designed, and even an outsider like Chen Luo couldn’t help but admire its quality and conception.

Black as the base color set off her fair skin, making her shine like a pearl in the night.

“My dearest husband, are you satisfied with this swimsuit? What score would you give it?”

Snapped from his reverie by her voice, Chen Luo quickly gave his verdict.

“A ten! Full marks! If anyone disagrees, I’ll take it up with them!”

Wen Wan covered her mouth with a soft laugh and walked slowly toward him, resting her hands on his shoulders.

“Husband, there are other styles of swimsuits too, but you’ll need to give the proper reward to unlock them.”

“Alright, I’ll reward you right now and unlock them all!”

He stood, kicked the chair away behind him, took a step back, and swept Wen Wan up in his arms.

“Who says you can only wear swimsuits by the sea? You can wear them at home too! The scenery here is more beautiful than any beach, don’t you agree?”

“Yes, yes, anywhere you are is my ocean.”

Wen Wan lowered her head, giggling at his praise.

“But I really did plan a beach day for tomorrow. We’ll let Liuhua, Zhou Zheng, and the others join us too.”

“It’s a team-building day for you all—the last day of the holiday. Time to relax.”

“We’ll worry about tomorrow when it comes. For now, I want to test the strength of these bikini ties, heh heh.”

…

Hangzhou, Ye Lina’s residence.

“Miss, according to the latest intel, Wen Wan has reserved rooms at one of her seaside resorts—six rooms in all. They’re probably going on vacation tomorrow.”

Ye Lina nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she pored over a pile of takeout app materials.

“Good, book a room for me as well, under your name. Try to find out where they might be heading tomorrow.”

She paused, glancing at a photo of Chen Luo on her phone.

“Tomorrow, I’ll orchestrate a chance meeting. I want to see what secrets you’re hiding!”
