Su Chen and Eniel didn't go far for dinner, opting for the hotel's ground floor restaurant, as neither was particularly picky. Although Eniel, being European, had her preferences for Western delicacies, she ordered only Chinese dishes for Su Chen's sake. In the past, she had deliberately eaten more Chinese food, so it didn't feel uncomfortable.
Su Chen, of course, knew about these details, including her effort to learn the complex Huaxia language for him. How could he let go of a woman so dedicated to him?
After dinner, they strolled hand in hand along Jianghai's streets like any ordinary couple. Eniel's blonde hair and blue eyes naturally drew glances from passersby, and surely, some onlookers with girlfriends or wives risked "kneeling on the keyboard," or even "kneeling on durian."
After some time, they grew bored and returned to the hotel, where an intimate time was had, nearly setting off some fireworks...
"I have to go back now."
Around five in the evening, Su Chen stood and announced, because Lin Ruoxue had just messaged him, saying she would be home by seven.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Eniel also stood from the couch.
"You want to come back with me?" Su Chen was taken aback, unsure what Eniel was planning.
"What? You don't agree?" Eniel tilted her head, asking playfully.
"How could I not? Well... let's go." Of course, Su Chen didn't want Eniel to go, but did his wishes matter? Could he really change anything if he disagreed?
They arrived at the hotel's ground floor, where a car was ready to take them, saving the trouble of hailing a cab. The Yun Gao Hotel wasn't too far from Lin Ruoxue's villa, just a twenty-minute drive away.
On the way, Su Chen cautiously asked Eniel to keep their relationship a secret for the time being. Eniel nodded expressionlessly, but Su Chen couldn't discern her true thoughts.
Wang Ma, who was cooking dinner, was stunned when Su Chen brought back a strikingly beautiful foreign woman, no less stunning than the young Miss of the house. Was the young master so bold as to bring a woman home?
Seeing Wang Ma's expression, Su Chen knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Wang Ma, this is an important guest from the company, visiting our home."
"Oh, welcome, welcome!" Hearing it was an important guest, Wang Ma immediately displayed a warm smile. "Please take a seat; dinner will be ready soon." Concerned that the guest might not understand, Wang Ma pointed to the couch and gestured for her to sit.
"All right, Wang Ma, you go do your work; I'll take care of things here," Su Chen said with a smile.
"Should we add more dishes since she's an important guest?" Wang Ma asked tentatively, as their home meals were usually very simple—three or four dishes and one or two soups.
"No need, it's fine."
Seeing that the young master said so, Wang Ma didn't say anything more, but she immediately washed some fruit and placed it in a bowl on the coffee table.
"Thank you!" Eniel stood to thank her, even using Huaxia, which somewhat surprised Wang Ma.
After Wang Ma re-entered the kitchen, Eniel smiled and said, "Show me your room."
"All right." Su Chen then led Eniel into his own room: "See, nothing special."
Eniel caught a glimpse of the single bed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, a sense of superiority rising in her heart. At least I've had his body, and that Lin Ruoxue hasn't! she thought.
If Su Chen had known her thoughts, he would have been astounded by the strangeness of a woman's mind. Isn't it good to be happy together? Why must there be a competition for superiority?
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside, and Su Chen hurried out upon hearing it.
"Wife, you're back!" With a beaming smile, Su Chen spoke and, as usual, prepared the slippers at her feet before helping her take off her bag. Everything seemed so familiar, so natural!
Following behind and just rounding the corner, Eniel saw this scene and immediately felt a sourness in her nose! This must be the warmth of the home he talked about!
In that moment, Eniel truly realized that this woman had become a part of his life, unshakable by anyone!
Lin Ruoxue put on her slippers, and as she looked up and saw the woman before her, she was startled!
"Princess Eniel, what brings you here?" Lin Ruoxue blurted out in Huaxia. Her mind was baffled—why would she appear in her home?
"Oh, it's like this. Princess Eniel already knows about our relationship and wanted to visit our home." Standing beside her, Su Chen quickly "explained."
Eniel gave Su Chen a meaningful look and then smiled, saying, "What, does President Lin not welcome me?" Eniel spoke in Huaxia as well, and very well at that.
"How could that be? You are a guest whom we could only hope to invite!" Lin Ruoxue eagerly said. "I just didn't expect that Princess Eniel could speak Huaxia, and so well!"
"It's simple; because I fell in love with a Huaxia man, I learned it specially for him." As Eniel spoke, she glanced at Su Chen out of the corner of her eye, causing him to tremble with fear, more nervous than facing a formidable enemy!
"Ah!" Lin Ruoxue was taken aback, then said, "I had no idea Princess Eniel was so deeply in love. Huaxia language is not easy to learn. May I know which Huaxia man is so fortunate?"
When Lin Ruoxue asked this question, Su Chen felt cold sweat on his back, his heart leaping to his throat! He was terrified that his name would fall from Eniel's lips next, and what would await him then, he could hardly imagine!
Fortunately, upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's question, Eniel fell silent and said nothing.
Lin Ruoxue realized her intrusion and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, that's your privacy. I shouldn't have pried."
"It's nothing. Maybe President Lin will know in the future," Eniel said with a meaningful expression.
Hearing this, Su Chen sighed deeply, his heart gradually settling, and then he wiped his forehead, finding it covered with sweat...
"Young master, miss, and this guest, dinner is ready; we can start eating," announced Wang Ma as she came out.
"Great, I'm starved," Su Chen quickly called out. "Let's all take a seat."
Su Chen was so eager purely because he was afraid the two women would continue this conversation. If Eniel were to unintentionally let something slip, that would be disastrous for him...
