Contract Marriage: Emperor CEO's Secretary Wife-Chapter 272 - The Legion Exclusive Subdivision

Chapter 272 - The Legion Exclusive Subdivision

Xiu Mei was surprised to see Lu Chen waiting for her as soon as her plane landed in the airport. She was swept with overwhelming happiness as soon she saw his figure.

Clad in a royal blue button down top and slightly loose jeans, he stood there like a towering tree with his tall height amongst the crowd of people waiting in the arrival area. His hair swept up with wax and his hands inside his pockets, with his back straight, his eyes was looking forward towards her directions. So as soon as she exited the door, the two were able to see each other swiftly.

Lu Chen ignored the looks that the people was throwing at him, similarly, Xiu Mei couldn't be bothered by the people who seemed to already recognize them and pulled out their phones to take a picture.

It was quite weird really. They were simply a high-profile business people but somehow they were like a star once they starts to get recognized by people.

With her baggage in tow, she excitedly ran towards her husband. Lu Chen also took a step forward and opened his arms perfectly catching her in a hug. She buried herself in his c.h.e.s.t and inhaled deeply his familiar scent while the man dropped a kiss on her hair and stroked her back.

"Don't run." He whispered in her ears. Xiu Mei giggled at his reminder and knew that what he was talking about. She didn't say anything and simply nodded her head a little as she hugged him by his neck.

Lu Chen lowered his head and cupped her face to kiss her on the cheek. "I'll come to you no matter what, so just stand there and wait for me to come."

She paused for a second before a smile crept up on her lips. Unfazed by the gazes surrounding them, the two stayed like that for an entire minute before walking away.

Lu Chen took her baggage with his other hand while the other intertwined with hers tightly. Xiu Mei strangely felt giddy with his simple act of picking her up from the airport.

She looked at her husband through the corner of her eyes and felt weirdly attracted to him at the moment. For some reason, it was like there was some kind of filter in her eyes that made her husband mysteriously so enchanting in her sight.

Was it because of her moodswings that was strangely getting weirder and weirder by the day?

While Xiu Mei was too engrossed in her thoughts, she failed to notice Lu Chen's subtle movements the moment she appeared in the arrival area.

With Albert's appearance before Xiu Mei made Lu Chen anxious. Added to what Xiu Min messaged to him yesterday, he got more worried about his family's safety.

When the car didn't turn to the right direction, Xiu Mei immediately noticed it and was surprised. She turned to look at the person driving on her left and asked.

"Aren't we going to go home?"

"We are." He replied while c.a.r.e.s.sing her hand with thumb.

Her frows furrowed. "But this isn't the way to our house."

The car halted temporarily because of the red light. Lu Chen looked directly into his wife's inquiring gaze and spoke, "We moved last night."

"..."

She blinked and looked at him puzzledly.

Why does he make it sound so simple as if he was simply changing from a small bowl to a big bowl?

Still, she continued to probe about this sudden decision. She wasn't even informed of it yesterday that they were planning to move. Xiu Mei felt irritated just by thinking about it but she didn't change her expression.

"Why are we suddenly moving? And so fast?"

They even talked over the phone the other day and he didn't mention about moving at all.

Lu Chen's focus returned in front as he continued driving while his other hand played with her hand. He didn't hide the true reason to her and explained.

"We're moving to a more secured place where no one could easily trespass into."

Xiu Mei.thought for a moment and realized that he was probably talking about the photos that Albert gave her. Her photo there was taken when she got home meaning that he had someone monitoring them from their house.

But... will Albert really not find them again if they move to a different place?

"You'll understand once we get there."

"....?"

An hour later, Xiu Mei almost couldn't believe her eyes.

Her eyes wide open like saucers the moment their car entered... uh... some kind of forest or something?

Aside from the one way cement road in front of them, Xiu Mei almost thought that Lu Chen was abducting her to have a vacation in the middle of a forest.

Tall trees, vines hanging on the branches and full of greeneries filled her eyes. When she rolled down the windows, she was overwhelmed by the scent of soil and fresh air. She could faintly hear the sound of birds from afar even. It was very similar to the nature sounds that she liked listening to sometimes when she couldn't sleep before.

It was also somehow similar to the forest Lu Chen and Lu Qiang brought her to before. Uh, right. That was more like a zoo rather than a forest, actually.

She looked at her husband again with a questioning look but he simply smiled and continued driving forward. His actions were simply telling her that he won't open his mouth even if she ask him so Xiu Mei patiently waited for them to arrive in their 'new' home.

A few minutes later, Xiu Mei was stunned for the second time.

What the hell? How come the inside looks some kind of exclusive subdivision or something?!

It even has some big gates. She almost thought it was almost as grand as they have at her maternal home.

The walls were made of thick concrete, proudly giving her the impression of how sturdy it was even if there's an earthquake. The car stopped in front of the gates, and Xiu Mei jumped when she suddenly heard an AI voice pop out from nowhere.

"Scanning...... Car Identification ID L89G1087. Driver, Lu Chen H19847. Passenger, Xiu Mei H19848. Confirmed Permissions."

As soon as the voice finished, the two metal gates slid open. Lu Chen drove forward again and there she was shown an amazing view of villas and unfamiliar buildings. The outside was too intimidating but the inside gives off a very similar feeling of an exclusive subdivision for the elite families. It was very similar to the Xiu Mansion of her grandparents.

It was a short and smooth drive for the rest of the way. They stopped in front of a villa and Xiu Mei was genuinely attracted with the surrounding view at the front garden.

At the moment, she was very overwhelmed with everything that she took a step back and grabbed Lu Chen's hands to ask for answers.

"Where are we?" She didn't look at him while asking him that. She was like a kid who was twisting her neck to commit to memory the grandiose surroundings in front of her.

Lu Chen had someone drive off the car to the garage. He watched his wife's eyes sparkle in curiosity as she roamed her eyes around the new place.

"This is our new home."

"Here?"

Is he serious?

That too futuristic gate security and this big villa is their new place? Is he deceiving her or something?

Lu Chen pulled her into a nearby garden bench, sat down and pulled his wife to sit on his l.a.p. He held her waist firmly while stroking her back with his fingers. Xiu Mei didn't seem to notice yet that Lu Chen was secretly eating her tofu because she was still distracted with the new place.

"What is this place?" Xiu Mei questioned.

There was a small smile on Lu Chen's lips as he raised his hand to brush her hair.

"This is a small area that my master built back when he was still alive."

His master?

"Initially, he planned to make it as his retirement place but since there's still so much space left unused, it also became the living area of the other organization members when they're not staying in the headquarters. Well, mostly who can live here are those who are the top 20 assassin members."
