Zhan Qi abruptly changed the subject, “Wait a minute. Didn’t Qing just say that the our calligraphy and paintings were stolen and sold? Is this true, Dad?”

Because Zhan Yuv had no idea what his son was up to, he nodded cautiously and said, “It’s true.”

“How about we summon this assistant and ask him to come down here and identify the perpetrators? The Zhan family compound is well-guarded, so this is a serious matter. If there is an insider living with us, we should report it to the cops.”

“We don’t have any proof yet, and my assistant Zhang is just a kid. If something terrible happens to him because of panic and fear, the situation will only get worse. Dad, don’t worry, I’ll talk to him in private,” Zhan Cheng hurriedly said.

After that, he turned around to face Zhan Qi and Fu Qing. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you two down. In the meantime, you can stay at home tonight, and I’ll give you a definitive answer after I speak with my assistant in the afternoon. I’ll make sure you two don’t get wronged.”

“Thank you,” Zhan Qi said softly. “At least, I feel comforted by your words.”

Fu Qing and Zhan Qi spent the night at the Zhan Residence. Since Zhan Qi returned on a regular basis, the family assigned him his own bedroom and study room, both of which were roomy and brightly lit.

When Zhan Qi was caressing Fu Qing’s face, he felt a pang of sadness. He murmured, “You must have suffered great injustice today.”

But what Fu Qing didn’t see was that his distinguished face had become brooding.

He was well aware that Zhan Cheng was planning a strategy to get rid of him from the Zhan family’s business. However, he hadn’t expected Zhan Cheng to go after his wife.

Luckily, he was almost finished with his business outside, so he could take a break and duly iron out the Zhan family’s internal issues.

“I don’t understand why Zhan Cheng and Li Ying have such a deep-seated hatred for me,” Fu Qing said, blinking back the scalding tears. “Qi, thank you for helping me out earlier. I feel very safe with you by my side.”

“How can I not help you when I’m your husband?”

Fu Qing gave Zhan Qi an adoring gaze before planting a gentle kiss on his lips.

A warm current rose from Zhan Qi’s belly almost immediately. “Then how do you plan to thank me?” he asked teasingly, grabbing Fu Qing’s hand.

“What?”

A dim flush raced across Fu Qing’s pale and beautiful face as the warm atmosphere turned hot. “How do you want me to thank you?” she asked softly.

Zhan Qi abruptly grabbed her and tossed her onto the bed. “I’d like you to join me on a honeymoon trip,” he said, meeting her gaze squarely and waiting for an answer.

Fu Qing was caught off guard and asked, “Are you serious?”

After all, which newlywed woman hasn’t dreamed of a romantic getaway on her honeymoon?

Zhan Qi leaned down slowly, his lips moving across Fu Qing’s forehead, nose, and lips, all the way down to her collarbone.

“Where do you want to go for our first leg of the trip? Europe, perhaps?” he asked, his voice gruff.

Suddenly, Zhan Qi kissed Fu Qing passionately, almost rendering her unable to think.

“Let’s go to France first. I’d like to visit Paris and see the lavender fields, as well as sample some genuine red wine. Hmm…”

Suddenly Zhan Qi bit the tip of her nipples, causing her to moan.

“As you wish,” Zhan Qi said softly, his eyes eyes brimming with tenderness and passion.

His hand reached into her clothing, unbuttoned it, and stroked her nipples. “Red, red wine…” he murmured, his breathing sounded a hurricane in his own ears.

His hand moved down again, this time brushing against the dense ‘black forest’ between her thighs. “Oh, and we’ll also explore the lavender field,” he smirked. “But isn’t it right in front of you?”

“I don’t like it.” Fu Qing playfully smacked his arm. She could hear his quick intake of breath.

Zhan Qi lifted her upper body and sat her on the bed. He seized her mouth, forcing his tongue between her teeth.

“French kissing is such an amazing experience, and I love doing it with you. Also, we’ll be leaving early tomorrow.”

“Qi…” Fu Qing couldn’t think of a reply because she was so engrossed in his deep kiss. She hugged him close, pressing his mouth against hers..
