At this moment, a monkey face was looking at him in surprise, and they were both at a loss.
A monkey? Looking at its clean, soft, light yellow fur, was it a golden monkey?
Damn it, monkeys even wear clothes? Dressed like a little baby?
No, why does he have a monkey at his house?
A million curses howled through Zhou Ye’s mind, leaving him in a dishevelled state. Kuaishuge.
Seeing Zhou Ye return, Xiao Shaozi cried out excitedly, then pushed off Zhou Ye’s chest with its feet, broke free from his hands, and ran into the villa.
Great, Zhou Ye was back, and the host’s sweet romance was back too. It wouldn’t be enslaved in various ways every day anymore, it was liberated!
Leng Feng and Chen Hu, who followed behind, couldn’t help but laugh.
Chen Hu even asked cheekily, "Brother Ye, are you sure this is something you can give birth to?"
"Scram!" Chen Hu had ruined all his emotions.
Forcing himself to forget this little interlude, Zhou Ye raised a big smile and loudly called towards the door, "Wife~ Your husband is back~"
Qiao Ci had already received Xiao Shaozi’s notification and walked to the balcony, watching Zhou Ye from the second floor.
At this moment, the sunlight shone on her face. Her delicate, pure and alluring little face had a cool and indifferent expression, like a doll in a ivory tower, making people only able to admire her from afar.
Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment, his mind filled with thoughts of how beautiful his wife was, getting more and more beautiful, how could she be so beautiful.
The unease and annoyance in his heart completely vanished at this moment. He just wanted to go up and hold her, to feel her real presence in his arms.
Ignoring his two comrades, and unwilling to let Qiao Ci go up and down the stairs, he strode towards the upper floor and, the moment he met Qiao Ci face to face, he scooped her up and spun her around.
Then, his thin lips kissed her forehead, pecking several times, and he said with a hint of grievance, "Wife, I missed you so much."
"Mhm." Qiao Ci did not express her emotions outwardly. She simply let him hold her and responded.
Chen Hu and Leng Feng were dumbfounded.
Brother Ye praised his wife as a little fairy every day, but they thought there was a lot of exaggeration, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, especially for newlyweds.
They never expected Zhou Ye’s wife to be this beautiful. Just looking at her from afar, she seemed incredibly delicate and beautiful. More importantly, her aura was undeniable, and calling her a little fairy was no exaggeration.
Brother Ye was truly blessed.
This little villa, this delicate wife, no wonder he was always thinking about coming back and wasn’t interested in the tomboys in the team.
After dallying with Qiao Ci for a while, Zhou Ye remembered his two comrades and gestured for them to come in.
The two walked to the entrance and hesitated when they saw the cotton slippers.
After walking for so long, their feet were sweaty and surely smelly, making them hesitant. They also felt embarrassed to step on the smooth and clean floor, even though Zhou Ye had already left a few large footprints on it.
Qiao Ci and Zhou Ye went downstairs. Seeing their hesitation, Zhou Ye laughed and cursed, "Change your shoes, why are you standing there blankly? My wife worked hard to mop this floor, you can’t dirty it. As for mine, I’ll mop it later!"
Qiao Ci could guess their concerns and smiled, "Don't be so reserved, feel free. I’ll go upstairs to make a call first."
Leng Feng and Chen Hu immediately relaxed.
Chen Hu looked at Zhou Ye resentfully, "Brother Ye, why didn’t you say so earlier? If I had known the house was this clean, I would have changed into new shoes and socks outside. Luckily, Sister-in-law went upstairs, hehe, my feet are too smelly, don’t offend Sister-in-law."
Leng Feng, who was usually taciturn, also couldn’t help but say, "Indeed."
"Alright, stop your chatter. Change your shoes and go to the bathroom for a hot shower. Hehe, my wife said there’s always hot water. Oh right, Chen Hu, you stay in this room, Leng Feng, you stay in this one. Take care of them, and I’ll personally cook for you later." Zhou Ye directed them according to Qiao Ci’s instructions.
The two quickly changed their shoes and, squeezing past each other, entered the bathroom. After washing their feet clean, they even used soap and scrubbed until their feet were fragrant before daring to come out.
When they came out, they saw their usual commanding Brother Ye diligently mopping the floor. Leng Feng walked up, his voice husky and magnetic, "Let me do it."
"No, no, you guys go change your clothes. It’s so hot in here, haven’t you sweated?" Zhou Ye didn’t let them help and urged them to change.
Xiao Shaozi, standing aside, extended a paw and bossily directed Zhou Ye to work.
Zhou Ye felt that this golden monkey was very intelligent and, following its direction, mopped almost the entire living room, occasionally talking to Xiao Shaozi.
"Little monkey, my wife, your owner, is she very tired every day? This floor is so clean, she must mop it every day, it’s so hard..."
The sound of a small car came from outside. A moment later, the door was pushed open, and an aunt in her forties entered, carrying a pile of ingredients.
Seeing Zhou Ye mopping the floor, she was stunned, "You are?"
Zhou Ye saw the ingredients in the aunt’s hands and that she was around the same age, and tentatively asked, "Mom? Cough, cough, I’m Qiao Ci’s boyfriend."
He eagerly stepped forward to take the things, asking solicitously, "Are you tired? I’ll do it."
At this moment, Leng Feng and Chen Hu also came out after changing their clothes. Hearing this, they all came forward to help.
Aunt Zhang was stunned by the address "Mom" and, after a moment, said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "I’m the housekeeper here, not a mother. Did you mistake me for Miss Qiao’s mother?"
She thought the most handsome one must be the son-in-law. Aunt Zhang smiled, "You must be Mr. Zhou Ye, right? No wonder Miss Qiao asked me to buy groceries, it turns out you and your friends are back. Are you hungry? I’ll start cooking now, are there any dietary restrictions?"
The three repeatedly shook their heads.
They had no dietary restrictions, as long as they could eat their fill.
After Aunt Zhang went into the kitchen, Chen Hu and Leng Feng cornered Zhou Ye and questioned him, "You only said Sister-in-law’s family is better off than yours, and that she’s from the city. You never said she’s this wealthy!
She can afford to build such a beautiful villa and hire a housekeeper. She’s actually the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, isn’t she? Brother Ye, you’re amazing. You don’t look after your beautiful wife properly, and you don’t eat the soft rice, but run off to suffer!"
Zhou Ye was also a bit confused at this moment and couldn’t give them a definite answer. He stretched out his long legs and kicked each of them, "Mind your own business, go help out in the kitchen if you have nothing else to do."
The two knew Zhou Ye had a bad temper and didn't dare to tease him too much. They smiled and went to the kitchen.
However, they were soon kicked out by Aunt Zhang.
After watching Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills, they exchanged glances. Even the housekeeper they hired was so particular. A daughter from a prominent family, Sister-in-law is definitely from a prominent family!
They really envied Zhou Ye, who at such a young age, unknowingly started to eat soft rice.
