Pretty idiots are born to be played with and ruined by their husbands.

Chapter 128 seems to be wishing them love.

The alleyway was filled with the sweet aroma of ice cream, the buttery scent of baking bread, and the melting smell of marshmallows, all of which made one's heart feel sweet as well.

The closer you get to the sea, the more distinct the salty, humid flavor of the ocean becomes.

Zhou Gangxun didn't take Ruan Zhijuan across the Lover's Bridge, but went straight to the beach. As soon as Ruan Zhijuan entered the sand, she started frolicking and stomping around, then buried her head in picking up pretty seashells and conches.

In fact, if the bridge were called Wife Bridge or Love Bridge, Zhou Gangxun would have gone there. He was afraid that leaving the bridge would affect his relationship with Ruan Zhijuan.

"Zhou Gangxun, I found pearls! Look!" Ruan Zhijuan ran over excitedly, holding out the pearls she was clutching in her palm for Zhou Gangxun to see. "So many colors, white, purple, and even black pearls! Are they valuable?"

Zhou Gangxun didn't look at the pearls, but at Ruan Zhijuan. A smile curved his lips. Valuable, of course it's valuable.

He had these pearls, worth tens of thousands of yuan, mixed into this area early on.

Zhou Gangxun pretended to examine the pearls, saying, "Conservatively speaking, each one should be worth tens of thousands of yuan. My wife is really something."

"Wow, tens of thousands of dollars." Ruan Zhijuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately hired Zhou Huaigou, "Zhou Gangxun, then quickly help me find pearls, one pearl for one kiss."

"Deal." Zhou Gangxun smiled, his gaze fixed on Ruan Zhijuan's lips, staring intently. He swallowed hard, thinking, "What a good deal."

No matter how you look at it, he's the one who benefits. He was supposed to be making his wife happy, but after playing around for half a day, she ended up owing him dozens of kisses.

The person in charge of the beach, disguised as a tourist, quietly walked up to Zhou Gangxun and, like an undercover agent, asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, as you instructed, we buried those hundreds of pearls here. We've marked the locations. Please follow me."

"Hmm." Zhou Gangxun said, "Even if my wife kisses me hundreds of times today, my lips will be sore."

"A few dozen will suffice. Your staff can take a few more. Tomorrow, remind the tourists that there are pearls in the sand. Be careful not to step on them and get hurt. If they find any, they can take them with them. But please say that you wish Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ruan a long and happy life together, for all eternity."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou." The person in charge said very tactfully, "I wish Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ruan a long and happy life together, for all eternity."

Zhou Gangxun nodded slightly, reverting to his role as the bad husband who helped his wife find pearls and ask for kisses. He wasn't worried that these people wouldn't do as he was told; he had already received some of the profits. If he wanted to continue living in Hong Kong, he wouldn't create this kind of trouble for himself.

The search took two hours.

It wasn't until the sun began to set that Ruan Zhijuan, who had collected a bag full of pearls, owed eighty kisses, and had hermit crab shells, and Zhou Gangxun, finally went to have dinner.

It is a fisherman's hut with local characteristics in Shek O.

We ordered Tom Yum seafood soup, seafood pineapple fried rice, pan-fried prawns with soy sauce, Thai curry crab, grilled fish, stir-fried clams with black bean sauce and chili, fried fish pieces, stewed bird's nest with rock sugar, and two young coconuts.

Zhou Gangxun was in charge of peeling the shells and picking out the bones, while Ruan Zhijuan was in charge of eating.

After the meal, Ruan Zhijuan's face was flushed and her belly was bulging.

"I'm so happy, Zhou Gangxun." Ruan Zhijuan cleared her throat, pretended to accidentally bump his lips, and then immediately looked around guiltily. No one noticed and caught them. He smiled smugly.

I'm happy to have kisses from Zhou Gangxun, happy to eat, and happy to have lots of pearls.

Zhou Gangxun smiled, pinched Ruan Zhijuan's cheek, and kissed her. "Wife, this level of offense is at most a fine. I have enough money to fine hundreds of millions of times over. Don't hold it in."

In fact, he wouldn't be fined for this.

"I didn't really want to kiss you," Ruan Zhijuan said stubbornly, then secretly glanced around. Seeing that people were already watching them, he quickly covered his face with his hands. "Zhou Gangxun, we've already finished eating, let's run!"

Zhou Gangxun found it amusing; his wife's courage really did come in waves.

He followed Ruan Zhijuan's gaze and saw that those people were either attracted by his wife's beauty or had seen his photos in the newspaper. He wondered if these people were clear enough that Ruan Zhijuan was his wife.

Zhou Gangxun's eyes darkened. He paid the bill, picked up Ruan Zhijuan, and carried her away. "Wife, are you tired? Let me carry you and let you get some fresh air before we go home."

Ruan Zhijuan rested her head on Zhou Gangxun's shoulder. "Zhou Gangxun, is it okay to hug me? How much will the fine be?"

"Wife." Zhou Gangxun affectionately nuzzled Ruan Zhijuan's neck. "With my influence in Hong Kong, even if I did something filthy to you, nothing would happen to me, so don't worry about it."

"Nothing hurts me more than not being able to hold you or kiss you."

As Zhou Gangxun was speaking, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhou?"

Upon seeing Zhou Gangxun and Ruan Zhijuan, Huo Wenyong quickly walked over and said, "We're really on the same wavelength. So you two came to Shek O today."

Zhou Gangxun's face darkened as he looked at his childhood friend who had interrupted their private moment. He then introduced him to Ruan Zhijuan, saying, "The one who called before, Huo Wenyong, and the one next to him is his wife."

Huo Wenyong then added, "His name is Ah Huai, and he's my...wife."

Zhou Gangxun looked at the man next to Huo Wenyong, who was about 1.9 meters tall and had his long hair tied up with a hairpin, and nodded slightly. "Hello, Zhou Gangxun."

Since Zhou Gangxun didn't put Ruan Zhijuan down, he could only reach out to greet the two men while still on Zhou Gangxun's body, "Hello Huo Wenyong, hello Ah Huai, I am Zhou Gangxun's wife, my name is Ruan Zhijuan."

"Give him a red envelope." Zhou Gangxun looked at Huo Wenyong and shamelessly hinted, "The child has already greeted everyone."

"Virtue is indispensable." Huo Wenyong smiled and looked at Ruan Zhijuan, then ostentatiously took out two bank cards with tens of millions in them from his pocket. "These are New Year's red envelopes, and these are our first gifts. Ah Huai and I will each receive two. Little Ruan, grow up well."

It is clear that Huo Wenyong also follows Ruan Zhijuan's webpage.

Upon receiving twenty million, Ruan Zhijuan's eyes immediately crinkled with laughter. He sweetly addressed the two of them, "Thank you, Brother Huo, Brother Ahuai."

"Such a sweet tongue and a well-behaved person, it's a pity she's with that clueless, hard-hearted old man." Huo Wenyong looked at Zhou Gangxun and said mercilessly, "If you treat Xiaoruan badly in the future, we won't let you off the hook."

"Oh?" Zhou Gangxun brought up old grievances, "I remember someone said something different before."

"You must be mistaken," Huo Wenyong said shamelessly, "Why are you always hugging Xiao Ruan?"

Zhou Gangxun glanced at him. "Because this is my wife."

"Old houses on fire always love to be clingy." Huo Wenyong had barely finished speaking when He Xuhuai pulled him back to his side, put a hot water bottle on his lower back, and said, "Behave yourself."

Ruan Zhijuan nestled in Zhou Gangxun's neck, amused by their earlier bickering. He secretly kissed Zhou Gangxun's earlobe and said, "Zhou Gangxun, next time we'll bring Zhou Shouchang and Ruan Fushen, the four of us, to the beach together."

"Okay." Zhou Gangxun patted Ruan Zhijuan's head. "Did you have fun today?"

"Zhou Gangxun, were you pursuing me today?" Ruan Zhijuan said, tilting her head to kiss Zhou Gangxun's lips. "I'm very satisfied." So this is how happy a person can be.

Just over two weeks ago, he had seen snow in Beijing, and now he was playing in the sand at the beach, riding a yacht, watching fireworks, and experiencing so many other things he had never seen or felt before.

"I'm so lucky today, Zhou Gangxun." Ruan Zhijuan knew that all of this was arranged by Zhou Gangxun. Except for the pomelo falling down, perhaps it was because of Zhou Gangxun's favoritism towards her that the heavens also showed favoritism and added some good fortune.

"You'll always be this lucky," Zhou Gangxun simply promised, keeping his word.

Ruan Zhijuan pressed her face tightly against Zhou Gangxun's, cupping his face and kissing him softly, "I love you so much, my husband."

Zhou Gangxun kissed Ruan Zhijuan's ear and chuckled, "I love you so much, my wife."

As fate would have it, petals fell from the tree like rain, soaking the two of them from head to toe.

It's as if I'm wishing them love.

—To be continued—

(The story needs an ending, but Xiao Ruan and Da Zhou are still living happily ever after. If there is any new content later, it will be added in the extra chapters, but the timing is uncertain. It's been so long and it's hard to say goodbye to them.)

Huo Wenyong (turns around and looks at you): Then come back and visit often? Wow—Wow—

He Xuhuai (silently reaching out to cover Huo Wenyong's tear-streaked face): Wenyong, your crying might be... a little unsightly... (manually pinching his mouth to stop himself from crying).

Ruan Zhijuan: It's normal to feel sad about us, but don't cry. (wipes her face with a tissue) We're very happy now.

Zhou Gangxun: If you encounter something you can't solve, talk to us. Don't suffer injustice.
