My Brilliant CEO Wife

"It's my fault, but just like I can never abandon you, I can't abandon little Yan either. You're all my little treasures in my heart!"

"Pfft, shameless. Who's your little treasure? Over these few days, I need to eat less meat, otherwise when I go out and little Yan sees how fat I've become, she's definitely going to laugh at me!"

Actually, Zhao Shishi wasn't fat at all; she just thought she was!

"Then I'll gouge out your eyes first!" Zhao Shishi playfully glared at Yun Hao, putting her little hand over Yun Hao's eyes!

The following week, Yun Hao and Zhao Shishi spent their days in playful banter and fun. Of course, this was only in their free time; Yun Hao spent most of his time pulling the stone slab to train his strength!

After two months of hard training, Yun Hao had gained enough confidence in his own strength. If he were to run into the group that ambushed him two months ago, with the boost of the Fivefold Pill, he was confident he could annihilate them without a scratch and leave safely!

Once the two had gotten everything in order, Yun Hao led Zhao Shishi to jump into the light screen beneath the stone slab. When their feet touched the ground again, Zhao Shishi quietly opened her eyes!

"Huh? Isn't this the place where I jumped off the cliff?"

Indeed, after returning to the real world, they were at the edge of the cliff where they had originally fallen!

"Let's go, we'll head straight back to the villa!" Yun Hao held Zhao Shishi's little hand, and they walked down the mountain. It was only when they reached the bottom that they caught a ride back to Nanjiang City!

Although they had been wearing the same clothes for two months, since they were alone in the forest, they left their coats aside and washed with lake water before returning, so their clothes weren't too dirty. Otherwise, the taxi driver might not have dared to pick them up!

"Are you two heading home for the New Year?" The driver greeted them with a smile, looking at Yun Hao and Zhao Shishi through the rearview mirror.

"Is it almost New Year? What's today's date?" Zhao Shishi asked.

"We were traveling, and we ran into a thief, lost our phones and wallets, and have been on the road for a long time to get back!" Yun Hao quickly covered for Zhao Shishi's absent-mindedness, aware that since the driver asked, it must be close to New Year, and if they didn't know, it would be strange!

"Today is New Year's Eve, once I drop you two off, I'm heading home too. But if you two lovebirds don't have money, about the fare..." The driver nodded at Yun Hao's explanation and then expressed concern about the payment!

"Don't worry, sir, we may not have cash on us, but our family does. Once you drop us at home, you'll get paid!" Yun Hao quickly reassured him, worried the driver might get upset and kick them out of the car, which would be troublesome!

It's only after hearing the driver's words that Yun Hao and Zhao Shishi realized today was New Year's Eve. Yun Hao was unbothered, maybe due to living abroad for so long, lacking the concept of New Year's Eve, as there was no time to celebrate while on missions!

But Zhao Shishi couldn't stay calm. She remembered she hadn't called her mom in almost two months. She always spent New Year with her mom, but this year she couldn't go back, leaving her mom alone. The thought filled her heart with deep longing!

"It's okay, you can call your mother when we get back and tell her you're bringing a good son-in-law home after the New Year!" Yun Hao embraced Zhao Shishi, speaking softly to her.

"A good son-in-law? Who?"

"Me, who else could it be besides me?"

"You're shameless!" Even though Zhao Shishi said this, she happily leaned her head on Yun Hao's shoulder!

Meanwhile, inside the villa, it was festively decorated. But Chu Yan, Liu Mengqi, and Seductive Snake were all quietly watching TV on the sofa, and Tank was wearily sitting on another sofa, carefully polishing his Finger Tiger!

Only Aunt Wu, who didn't know about Yun Hao and Zhao Shishi's situation, just thought they were on a business trip, was busy in the kitchen preparing New Year's Eve dinner. The plan was to just have a simple meal, but Aunt Wu insisted it had to be a grand feast!

"You guys are too gloomy. Yun Hao might come back in a few days, come on, who'll join me for a drink?" Tank asked after finishing polishing his Finger Tiger, noticing it was already past ten, with less than two hours to the new year, and grabbed a bottle of wine.

"You fool, go drink by yourself!" Seductive Snake gave Tank a disdainful look. Tank chose to ignore her disdain, not because he didn't want to argue, but because he had fought Seductive Snake before and truly couldn't win!

"Damn, Yun Hao, hurry back, I know you're alright, but there's no one to drink with me!" Tank walked to the villa door, shouting lamentably, but as soon as he finished, a familiar voice rang in his ears!

"I'm back to drink with you, but you'll have to help me pay the cab fare first!" Yun Hao and Zhao Shishi had just gotten out of the car and overheard Tank's lament, feeling a warmth in their hearts.

"What the heck, am I dreaming?" Tank was extremely surprised to see Yun Hao, with Zhao Shishi by his side, exclaiming incredulously, while rubbing his eyes with his hand!
