Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Honeymoon_1
"Are you going for a honeymoon or to work? Let me tell you, if it's the latter, don't bother going to Yunnan!" Mr. Fang used his voice to intimidate Fang Zhi.
Lin Shu did not want to see the two of them arguing over this.
She stepped in to help Fang Zhi, "Grandfather, this is actually a good thing. I previously had a project related to Yunnan, so it's perfect for me to prepare for my project while we're on our honeymoon."
Mr. Fang looked at Lin Shu with an expression that indicated that he was out of solutions, and let out a sigh.
"You two really are a perfect match. Even while going for your honeymoon, you are going to Yunnan to work." Mr. Fang's tone was noticeably softer when speaking with Lin Shu.
Lin Shu politely smiled and added a chopstick full of vegetables to Mr. Fang's bowl, "Grandfather, let's eat. The food is getting cold."
The topic ended there.
After dinner, Mr. Fang had Fang Zhi and Lin Shu head home together. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Fang Zhi, "You'd better return Lin Shu back to me unscathed, or you'll face consequences."
After giving him a stern warning, Mr. Fang got into a luxury car parked nearby and left.
This was the first time Fang Zhi had accompanied Lin Shu back to Fuchun Garden.
As they were in haste to get married, Fang Zhi had asked He Mo to buy a house on a whim.
Although the house was fully renovated, it had no furniture.
Upon their return, the improvement in the room was a pleasant surprise for Fang Zhi.
The house now had a sense of coziness, complete with simple furniture and green plants.
Although he didn't buy many things, he didn't receive any deduction notifications from the card he had given to Lin Shu.
"Did you buy all this furniture with your own money?" Fang Zhi asked, looking around the room.
Lin Shu hadn't expected Fang Zhi to come home that day, so she quickly hid the underwear that was lying casually on the sofa.
"I didn't know your tastes, so I bought randomly. If you don't like them, we can replace them with your style later." Lin Shu glanced at the carpet in the living room and the paintings on the wall.
The things she bought were not expensive but were chosen with a good eye.
Fang Zhi didn't have any complaints. He sat down on the sofa and said, "Let's just keep it as is. This is your home too, you can decorate it to your heart's content."
"Besides, you can use the card I gave you for all the furniture and decoration expenses."
As Lin Shu sat down on a nearby single sofa, it occurred to her that the house was bought by Fang Zhi, the mortgage was being paid off by him, and she didn't contribute to the renovation costs.
The money Lin Shu spent on the furniture was like a rental fee.
However, even considering that, this place was way more high-end than what she could afford with her rental contribution.
After doing the math, Lin Shu didn't lose anything. In fact, one could argue that she even made a bit of profit.
"I have some savings, and it must be hard for you to be paying the mortgage alone." Lin Shu didn't want to be a burden to him, nor did she want to bother him.
While discussing money, Lin Shu took out her mobile phone and transferred 15,000 to Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi looked at the transfer message and frowned.
It seemed like he had run into some perplexing matter.
"That's for today's lunch. When I went to the washroom, I checked the bill at the front desk, it was 30,000. We can split it."
Fang Zhi didn't take the money; it was but a negligible amount to him.
It was just that he couldn't understand how a gold digger would go this far?
"I've got the money for a meal to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, I don't need your contribution." Fang Zhi was not only testing her, but he was also a man who knew how to be responsible when he should be.
A meal costing 30,000 was a bit extravagant, although it was within Lin Shu's means.
However, she also didn't want to take advantage of Fang Zhi.
"Just take the money; it's not much, but it might relieve a little bit of your financial stress."
"Also, the expenses for our honeymoon can be split between us." said Lin Shu, who had thought it all through already.
Fang Zhi's frown deepened.
He was having a hard time seeing through the woman in front of him.
In the beginning, he had labelled her a gold digger, who was only pretending to be generous, based on hearsay. But after a while, Lin Shu's words and actions were challenging his initial judgement.
Was Fang Zhi wrong, or was the woman in front of him overly cunning?
After weighing things in his mind, Fang Zhi finally decided on the latter option; it must have been her craftiness, and she was good at deceiving people.
Thinking this way, Fang Zhi took out his mobile phone and clicked to accept the payment.
"The splitting of the cost was your idea," Fang Zhi reminded her calmly.
If she was only trying to put on airs, there was still time for her to back out.
Lin Shu nodded firmly. Over these years, she had managed to save enough money from running a photography studio with Duo Duo.
She had her own money and didn't need to extend her hand to others.
"During our honeymoon, I'll keep all the receipts. Once it's over, we'll settle the accounts and I will check everything in front of you."
Fang Zhi raised an eyebrow.
It seemed she was meticulous with accounts.
"No wonder you're a mathematics teacher, you're skilled at calculations." Fang Zhi's comment was said in a flat tone.
It was hard to tell if he was praising or criticizing her.
Lin Shu didn't have the energy to ponder about this either.
"Applying mathematics in daily life is one of the uses of the subject," Lin Shu responded rationally.
Fang Zhi's frown slowly eased.
She really couldn't tell the difference between praise and criticism.
"Now that we've discussed everything, I should be going. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning. You don't have to bring any luggage. We can buy everything in Yunnan." Fang Zhi didn't want to be burdened with too much luggage.
Lin Shu nodded and walked him to the entrance.
Although this was Fang Zhi's home, there was nothing of his here, nor any traces left by him.
"You're living in a law firm, make sure to get enough rest." Out of concern, Lin Shu, in her role as legally his wife, made this remark.
Fang Zhi glanced at her and then quietly withdrew his gaze.
In the evening, Lin Shu started planning for the honeymoon trip to Yunnan.
After preparing three pages of plans, Lin Shu stretched her waist. It was already late, but she also managed to pack her luggage.
Considering Fang Zhi's preference during the day, he probably didn't want to bring too much.
So, Lin Shu only prepared one suitcase, with several changes of clothing and some skin-care and makeup products.
Once the preparations were all done, Lin Shu went to sleep.
The next morning, Lin Shu woke up early.
After washing up and going out, she saw that Fang Zhi was already waiting for her in the living room.
He was looking at Lin Shu's suitcase, "Didn't I remind you yesterday that you don't need to bring any luggage?"
"I can take care of my luggage. I don't need your help with it." Lin Shu knew that Fang Zhi didn't like being bothered by others. Similarly, Lin Shu didn't like to bother others either.
In this regard, the two of them were indeed a match.
"We can buy your things when we reach our destination, and all my things are prepared."
Fang Zhi was silent for a moment and then withdrew his gaze. He checked the time and reminded Lin Shu, "I'll give you another hour to pack up. We need to leave for the airport."
Lin Shu nodded. She was not wasting any time.
The two of them arrived at the airport on time and boarded a plane to Yunnan.
