The two of them returned to Li Yi's apartment here. This apartment was quite spacious, over two hundred square meters, with exquisite decoration and comfortable furnishings. It had a study room, an entertainment room, and a gymnasium, all fully equipped. However, the beautiful kitchen was as clean as a model unit, clearly indicating that no one usually cooked there.

Li Yi brought Ni Xuanyi back home but did not immediately proceed to have children. Instead, he went straight into his study room. With two days of work piled up waiting for him, he first quickly took a shower and handed over a five-star restaurant meal card and two bank cards to Ni Xuanyi before entering the study.

Ni Xuanyi stood in the hall holding several cards as the morning sun was warm, casting dappled shadows through the windows. She took a deep breath, feeling that life was truly wonderful.

She placed her belongings in a guest room and then took a shower. When she looked at herself in the mirror again, her eyes were less worried and more filled with happiness and sweetness.

Ni Xuanyi changed into her clothes and entered the kitchen, noticing that there was no rice, flour, or cooking oil inside despite the presence of all necessary utensils for cooking. She glanced at Li Yi who was busy in his study room and after some thought, quietly left with her wallet.

After leaving home, Ni Xuanyi went to a nearby large supermarket where she picked out items needed for cooking. She didn't want Li Yi to continue eating takeout even though he had her around now; she wanted to cook for him herself.

Seriously enthusiastic like all happily married housewives in the world, Ni Xuanyi carefully selected daily necessities at the supermarket, comparing prices and quality of soy sauce and vinegar before purchasing them. She was so engrossed that over an hour passed by不知不覺中一個多小時過去了。

When Ni Xuanyi was leaning over a refrigerator case selecting meat, someone suddenly wrapped their arms around her tightly, "Xuanxuan, you scared the life out of me!"

"Ah!" Startled, when she saw that it was Li Yi who had surprised her, Ni Xuanyi pouted in mock anger, "What are you talking about, scaring the life out of me It should be you who almost frightened me to death!"

Liyi's brows were still furrowed with anxiety as he held Ni Xuanyi, his teeth clenched, "Damn brat, how dare you deny it! Why didn’t you tell me before leaving And for such a long time too. When I left the study and couldn't find you, I asked the bodyguards but they had no clue where you went. Then I thought of Ruan Zhao... Xuanxuan, you really scared me half to death..."

When Ni Xuanyi heard Liyi’s words, she noticed the beads of sweat on his forehead and his unusually pale complexion. She realized that he had been genuinely frightened for her. She glanced around surreptitiously to see if anyone was paying attention to them, then quickly stood on tiptoe to kiss Liyi's thin lips, "I'm sorry. I won't do it again next time."

After receiving this compensation, Liyi’s gloomy and anxious mood finally improved a bit. He released Ni Xuanyi but continued to hold her shoulders as he watched her pick out items.

"Brother Liyi, you mustn't like it here, right I’ll hurry up and finish picking things!" Ni Xuanyi hastened her movements.

"You don’t need to rush. It’s rare for me to come here; I’m just looking around," Liyi said sincerely. The last time he had visited the supermarket was when he was a child, accompanied by his mother and Li An. However, because Li An was too naughty and their mother easily distracted, Liyi only kept an eye on him while helping her navigate through the aisles, so he didn’t have any chance to look at anything.

Following Ni Xuanyi’s lead, Liyi's eyes wandered around, and when he saw the rows of cooking wines, he was momentarily stunned. "Wow, there are such a wide variety of cooking wine choices now!"

Ni Xuanyi burst into laughter at his rare display of cluelessness.

The two pushed their cart around again; soon they encountered several young women who were astonished to see Liyi and exclaimed, "Mr. Li! Is it really you"

Liyi didn’t recognize these women well but understood from their address that they must be employees of his company. He smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, "What a coincidence! Are you shopping here too"

Standing beside Liyi, Ni Xuanyi recognized the women as employees from the headquarters of Dynasty Empire Group. Her heart raced, wanting to flee on the spot but was held back by Liyi's strong grip around her waist. She could not move and stood there awkwardly in place.

"I just said, this person must be President Li..."

"How could I have thought that President Li would actually come to the supermarket..."

...

The two women chattered happily and excitedly. Two other women recognized Ni Xuanyi and stared at her wide-eyed, as if they had seen an alien.

They looked from Li Yi to the woman next to him, then at the household items piled up in their shopping cart. They all seemed to realize something. One of them, who was bolder, giggled and asked, "Miss Ni, are you friends with President Li"

Ni Xuanyi tugged at the corners of her mouth, which could be considered a smile.

Li Yi was very composed and happily replied, "Ni Xuanyi, my girlfriend, who will also become my wife." After saying this, he turned to smile at Ni Xuanyi.

The women fell silent immediately. Their eyes were filled with envy, admiration, and disbelief as they exclaimed in agreement and chatter, "Really President Li, you're really going to marry Miss Ni"

"Wow, Miss Ni is so lucky!"

"When did you two start dating How come everyone didn't know about it..."

...

Ni Xuanyi felt dizzy, with a surge of hot blood rushing to her cheeks and spreading into her brain's central nervous system. She couldn't hear the sounds around her or see what was in front of her; all she could hear was Li Yi’s words echoing in her ears: “Ni Xuanyi, my girlfriend will also be my wife.”

She was Li Yi's girlfriend, and soon she would become his wife!

The world seemed vast and empty, and the sound of a woman's voice felt distant. The only thing Ni Xuanyi remembered were Li Yi’s words.

Li Yi waved his hand in front of her dazed eyes and whispered softly into her ear, "Xuanxuan, what are you thinking about They've all left; do we still need to buy anything"

Right, buying things. She had come to the supermarket to shop!

Ni Xuanyi finally reacted and pushed the shopping cart around aimlessly but didn't know what else she needed to buy. Her mind was in a mess as she looked around everywhere, causing Li Yi to helplessly pat her head and lead her to checkout at the exit.

Only when they got back home did Ni Xuanyi's excited heart calm down slightly. Seeing that she wasn’t herself, Li Yi pinched her little face and said, "Are you sure you can wash vegetables and cook If not, we'll just eat out!"

"Of course I can do it!" Blushing at Li Yi’s words, feeling bashful in her heart, Ni Xuanyi pushed Li Yi towards the study. "Alright, go ahead and get busy! We're waiting for a big meal!"

Li Yi wrapped his arm around Ni Xuanyi's waist. "Fine, I'll wait for the big meal, but you have to promise me two things: first, no more sudden disappearances; second, don't hurt yourself!"dulgence to Vent FrustrationZhou Guangtao couldn't hear He Yufan's words at this moment, but the soft murmurs of her low whispers sounded like an invitation that was both hesitant and eager.The depths...
