Upon arriving in Yunnan, Fang Zhi and Lin Shu checked into a private hotel by the side of Erhai Lake.
Both of them presented their identification and marriage certificate.
The hotel's front desk received them, and Fang Zhi intuitively wanted to book the most upscale presidential suite.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the woman beside him and he changed his mind, "Book two high-end suites."
The receptionist smiled at the handsome couple standing in front of her, replying with a smile, "Mr. Fang Zhi, Miss Lin Shu, I've just received a call from Mr. Fang. You can only book one room."
Fang Zhi frowned.
They had traveled all the way to Yunnan, far from the imperial capital, and Mr. Fang still wanted to interfere in their affairs.
Lin Shu was only puzzled. Although the law profession was indeed respected,
Could the reach of the Fang family be that long?
It stretched all the way from the Magic City to here, even to the extent of having a say in their choice of rooms at the hotel.
"Then book one room." Fang Zhi had no other choice but to comply.
The bellboy helped them carry their luggage to the room.
The suite had a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a washroom, and a balcony facing the sea.
The view was beautiful.
However, Fang Zhi was in no mood to appreciate it. This spacious suite only had one double bed.
After the bellboy left their luggage, Lin Shu tipped them and they left.
Fang Zhi continued to ponder, how would they spend the night?
Lin Shu looked up, saw his confusion clearly, and said bluntly, "I can see the sea from the sofa in the living room, I will sleep there tonight."
Not only could you see the sea from the double bed in the bedroom, but you could also see the nearby beach. The view was even better.
Regardless of anything else, Lin Shu was a woman after all.
Fang Zhi should possess some degree of chivalry.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhi took her luggage into the bedroom, "You will sleep in the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the sofa."
Lin Shu didn't want to make him uncomfortable, nor herself, so she nodded in agreement.
The two of them arrived in Yunnan at noon and checked into the hotel suite.
At noon, they simple ordered room service for lunch.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhi was typing on his laptop in the hotel suite, apparently dealing with work matters.
Not wishing to disturb him, Lin Shu put on some light clothing, took her camera, and went out.
The door gently snapped shut behind her.
Fang Zhi frowned.
Why didn't this woman let him know before leaving?
What was she sneaking out for?
Fang Zhi was curious, he closed his laptop and followed Lin Shu.
As it turned out, Lin Shu wasn't up to no good.
She merely took a few pictures of the sea with her camera, bought some affordable snacks from the nearby food street,
and wandered around the adjacent commercial street, purchasing some souvenirs.
They were all small items, nothing expensive.
After spending two to three hours outside, Lin Shu finally started back towards the hotel.
Fang Zhi noticed this and got back to the hotel before Lin Shu.
When Lin Shu returned to the hotel suite, she saw Fang Zhi with his laptop, wearing a Bluetooth earpiece, appearing to be dealing with a very serious issue.
Lin Shu walked softly towards the bedroom.
Fang Zhi took off his Bluetooth earpiece, turned his head to look at her and asked, "What were you doing outside?"
He was well aware of what she did.
Lin Shu explained, "I went out for a while, seeing that you were busy, I didn't want to bother you."
So, she went out alone for Fang Zhi's sake.
"Are you done with your stuff?" Lin Shu asked him from a distance.
"I've finished my work." Fang Zhi closed his laptop.
Lin Shu took out some little things from her bag and placed them on the table in front of him.
"These are some handicrafts made by the local residents. They're not expensive but they're very representative of the local culture. I bought two of each, you can keep some as souvenirs." Considering that Fang Zhi had to take time to accompany her on the honeymoon while juggling work, Lin Shu felt bad for him.
She couldn't let his trip be in vain, so she bought everything in pairs.
Fang Zhi picked up a small grass-woven toy. He had seen Lin Shu buying these things.
None of them were gold, silver, or jewelry. They were just some small grass-woven toys.
"Hmm." Fang Zhi responded.
"If you still have work to do, you can go ahead. Don't worry about me." Lin Shu waved her hand and went inside the room again.
Back in the room, Lin Shu organised the photos she'd taken and posted them in her circle of friends.
Mr. Fang was almost the first to like them.
After liking them, he messaged Lin Shu, "Good child, did you enjoy yourself today?"
Through the screen, Lin Shu politely smiled, "Grandpa, I had a great time."
"But why didn't I see any photos of you and Fang Zhi together in your moments?" Mr. Fang was very suspicious.
He quickly guessed, "Did you go out alone today? Didn't that brat accompany you?"
Seeing this message, Lin Shu was surprised at Mr. Fang's sharpness.
She paused for a moment, not answering.
Mr. Fang knew that Lin Shu was indirectly admitting, "That brat, he really ignores me more and more. He thinks I can't reach him now and can't manage him, right? Does he think he can hide outside forever? He has to come back sooner or later."
"That bastard, wait until he gets back, I will break his legs! How dare he play tricks on me."
Listening to Mr. Fang's words, Fang Zhi's face became frosty.
Lin Shu quickly said, "Grandpa, you misunderstood. It's not what you think."
She shouted into the phone, but it was too late.
Fang Zhi coldly put down his phone, "The call has been hung up, why are you still shouting?"
Even if she wanted to pretend, at least make it convincing.
Lin Shu met his accusing gaze, she wanted to explain, "I was careless this time, I didn't expect posting on my friend circle would cause you trouble."
"Did you not anticipate it or did you premeditate it?" Fang Zhi counter-questioned. In his heart, Lin Shu did not have a good image.
Lin Shu felt wronged, she lifted her head, each word powerful, "I did not resort to such petty tactics, please don't misinterpret me without any evidence."
"Alright, for today's incident, it's my fault. I accused you wrongly without any evidence." Fang Zhi didn't refute, he only convicted her in his heart.
"What can I do to make it right?" Lin Shu asked.
