The couple traveled to Tokyo once Xiulan finished communicating with her team back in S city. It was a three hours ride and during those three hours, Xiulan made sure that her itinerary must be strictly followed.
"Hongqi, I must make sure that you won"t ruin my itinerary so I"m going to feed you the list of what we will do tomorrow." she seriously mutters while her husband watches her every move.
"Okay." he cooly agreed and tenderly hugs her while she points at her mobile screen and firmly instructed to him what they will do.
"First, there will be a lot of people. More people than the ones you encountered last time in Kyoto. I"m giving you a heads up in case you don"t want to come with me anymore." Xiulan knew that he hated crowded places and Disneyland is full of it.
"Of course, I will go with you." Hongqi quickly said and was determined to stay with her all the time.
"Are you sure, loverboy? You don"t like crowded places, right?" Xiulan made sure to ask him again. Giving him a chance to decline.
"I"m going and that"s final." Hongqi rolled his eyes at her.
"Okay. No need to be so sa.s.sy." Xiulan blurted and went back to scroll her phone to display something to Hongqi.
"Husband, as you know Disneyland is the place for good photos. I want to make sure that take the best photos of me." Xiulan displayed him a bunch of photos of women being cute and pretty for the camera.
"This angle, make sure you get the right angle!" Xiulan gave her phone to Hongqi so he could browse the other photos.
Hongqi was quiet for a moment while he browses the photos but he suddenly blurted a mean comment. "They are all ugly."
Xiulan peeked at the photos and frowned at him, "This man, look at the details of the photo, not the women!"
"Wife, why would I look at these ugly women? What I mean is everything in those photos is ugly!" Hongqi answered back and even picked on the photos that were especially ugly for him.
"Aish, this man." Xiulan took her phone back and closed the app. "Anyway, as long as you take good photos, that is enough."
"My wife, I am talented at everything. Have you seen the photos I took of you?" Hongqi arrogantly said and pulled out the camera from his personal backpack.
He started checking the gallery in his very expensive mirrorless camera and displayed to Xiulan the photos he took.
Xiulan suddenly feels like she doesn"t want to look at it. Just peeking at the hundreds of thumbnails, she could already guess that it"s full of her face.
Hongqi shoved his camera in front of his wife, "Look at that. Those are ten times better than that basic trash you let me see awhile ago."
Xiulan hesitated to look at the photos but eventually, her curiosity won this time. She took the camera and looked at the photos that Hongqi shot.
Cold sweat and gooseb.u.mps suddenly lurk at the back of her body. How can he have 789 photos of her in just a few days?! "Stalker, why is this full of me?!" She exclaims at him while she quickly scrolls down to briefly check the photos.
They were exceptionally good, but one thing that bothered her so much was that there are 789 photos of her in HD, good angle and color schemes were so fresh to look at.
"Pervert." she glared at him.
Hongqi snorted and took back the camera. "These are art. Just you wait, I will specifically let Yang Bo print these."
"Don"t you dare. That is embarra.s.sing!" Xiulan exclaimed at him and tried to get the camera.
"Even if you get the memory card and delete it, I already saved them in my cloud and on my computer." Hongqi held onto his wife"s wrist and pulled her in a hug. Their faces are so close and she can even feel his breath on her face. "What"s wrong with the photos? They are pretty."
Xiulan knew her husband has this obsessive nature but she can"t believe that it"ll turn out like this. When her heart suddenly starts to secretly question, "What was he thinking while he took those photos?"
She quickly and shyly evaded his strong gaze and pushed him a little to have some s.p.a.ce in between them. "I shouldn"t think about it. Something must be wrong with him." she quickly removed all those lingering thoughts and behaved herself.
"They are really pretty. Thank you." she meekly said and pulled out her phone again. "Back to what I was talking about since you are good in photography, it looks like we are good in this part."
"You know, we can just enjoy whatever we see first in that place instead of following this long list. If you follow this, you"ll get more stressed especially that Disneyland has a long line queue everywhere. You won"t be able to ride or visit everything." Hongqi said in a matter of fact tone. He was aware of Disneyland"s popularity and he was an investor too.
He came here with his cousins back when he was in grade school. He knew very well about the thousands of people visiting the place and the long queues, especially on the food stands. It was such a horrible experience for a rich kid like him.
He already noted to Secretary Yang Bo to make preparations of the lunchtime since he doesn"t want to stand for an hour just to wait for their turn to eat and dine. His wife might get angry for using special privileges but this will make their life easier and she could have more time to visit other shops instead of wasting it waiting for an hour.
Xiulan only frowned at him since he made a point. She was slightly fixated on her list that she might not enjoy the trip. "You are right. Okay, but still I will use this a reference."
"You can check it anytime you want but remember to fully enjoy the moment, especially that you are with me." Hongqi kissed the top of her head and arrogantly smiled at her.
Xiulan hated that arrogant smirk he always makes but sometimes she can"t help but swoon a little since whenever he does that, he makes the most handsome expression.
She quickly secretly pinched herself to pull herself together and not dreamily looked at her husband.
When they arrived in their new hotel suite, it was a luxurious five-star hotel in the heart of s.h.i.+njuku, Tokyo. With a huge a.s.s window that overlooks the greatest view of the city, it gave a romantic vibe and a feeling of "just make love" the whole night.
It has an incredible interior. It was a mixture of traditional and modern styles. When Xiulan looked at the bathroom, there"s still a huge window that overlooks the city.
"Oh my gosh, what if the people at the next building could see while we bathe?" Xiulan loudly questioned. She doesn"t like the feeling of being watched by strangers.
"Love, of course, this is tinted outside." Hongqi quickly corrected and gave a brief look at the bathroom. A naughty smirk plastered on his lips again and his thoughts were flying to the erotic and wild imaginations of his brain.
Xiulan didn"t notice the perverted smile on her husband"s face. She only nodded and went to look at the walk-in closet. They will be staying here for a week so it is best to make sure that the walk-in closet could fit all the clothes they bought last time.
After they checked all the other rooms and parts of the room, it was already 9 pm and they must sleep early since they need to be at Disneyland as early as possible.
"I already booked a room service, no need for us to go down. The food might be here in a few minutes." Hongqi mentions while he organizes the suits he will use for the next days.
Xiulan didn"t answer. She was curled up on the sofa and silently watches an anime but there are no subt.i.tles at all. She might be able to understand if there was a j.a.panese or Chinese subt.i.tle to it but since there was none, she could only understand a little.
Hongqi went to check on his wife and saw her that her attention is on childish things again. He let her be and dialed Secretary Yang Bo"s number to order him more tasks.
When the doorbell rang, Xiulan quickly gets up to open the door for the room service.
It"s two female servers and a huge cart full of food. There are even two wine bottles. She mentally noted herself not to touch those since Disneyland is far important than letting herself drink all of that and get a headache the next morning.
"Please leave them beside the dining table. I will do the rest of the work." Xiulan curtsy told them and went back to look for her phone since it was ringing.
Hongqi came inside the dining room and saw the two female servers. Xiulan wasn"t able to notice this since her attention was on the food but Hongqi quickly noticed the short skirt the servers were wearing.
They eyed and flashed Hongqi with a flirtatious smile. These women are pretty but it was obvious that they were trying to bait him, even while the wife is just in the other room.
Hongqi only smiled at the ladies and told them, "If you are finished, please leave the room immediately."
The women felt embarra.s.sed and quickly fled. Hongqi made a sigh of relief when those women scrammed out like rats. Right now, he doesn"t even want to be seen with another woman by his wife. It"s good that those two women get scared so easily, some women are just very fearless and would do anything just to get his attention.
Xiulan went back and noticed the two women were gone. "Where are the servers?"
"They went back to work." Hongqi gave off a plastic smile and started picking some food for his wife. "I selected your favorites. But I tried not to order a lot of raw food since you might get an upset stomach."
Xiulan didn"t notice anything shady so she went near him and checked each of the covered plates. "How did you even know that these are my favorites?"
"Mother-in-law." Hongqi winked at her.
"Darn it." Xiulan cursed. She knew a long time ago that her mother already sold off information to Hongqi but she didn"t expect her mother to even tell him her favorite j.a.panese cuisine.
She"s not even sure anymore if her mother really hates Hongqi or she"s just gullible.
