Married at First Sight Chapter 5189
Serenity chatted with her daughter for almost half an hour. Zachary, a little jealous, chimed in, “Wife, you’ve been talking to our daughter longer than I have. I’m going to say she’s biased.”
Serenity gently pushed him away and smiled at her daughter, saying, “Bei Bei, you should get some rest. Mom’s hanging up now. Your dad’s getting more and more like a child as he gets older.”
“My dad just can’t stand seeing Mom being close to us. He wants her to think about him 24/7,”
Zachary said matter-of-factly, exposed by his daughter. “Your mom is the one I’ll spend my whole life with. Of course, I want her to think about me 24/7. Okay, stop chatting, go get some rest.”
Bei Bei wanted to say it was still early, but ultimately hung up reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Long Ting didn’t return to his home in H City until 10 PM.
His villa was huge, with a garden-style yard. He liked the scenery of Fengchen Villa, so his residence also adopted that garden style. It was beautiful, but it required a lot of maintenance.
His bodyguard team operated in two shifts. Those not accompanying him stayed at the villa, cleaning and maintaining the garden’s plants, trees, rockeries, fountains, and ponds.
After he moved in, the villa’s walls were heightened and equipped with numerous 360-degree security cameras.
The trees and rockeries in the yard were positioned far from the walls to prevent intruders from scaling them and hiding in the trees.
Rows of nails were placed along the base of all the walls, pointing upwards.
Anyone recklessly scaling the walls and jumping down would be impaled by the nails.
Besides the nails, various plants were planted; some were medicinal, while others were highly poisonous, causing poisoning if accidentally touched or ingested.
Long Ting had studied under his master for over a decade. After his master’s passing, his master formally took on the responsibility of being his teacher, passing on all her knowledge to him. How much he learned was up to him.
Chu Jiu and Jun Fei also studied under him.
The young masters of the Jun family all possessed some knowledge of medicine and even poisons, having learned from their aunt (auntie) who was skilled in both.
Cheng Lingling didn’t have high expectations for her sons and nephews; she only wanted them to know, saying it would be enough for self-defense and prevent them from being easily schemed against or harmed when out in the world.
Ever since Long Teng founded the Longteng Group, many scoundrels had tried to scale the walls and sneak into his villa, but none of them fared well, suffering injuries from nails and poisoning.It was inevitable that they would be discovered.
Long Ting never showed his face to handle such matters; his butler would take care of it. Those petty thieves and those who tried to find out his background all ended up in jail.
Then, everyone in H City knew that the home of the boss of Longteng Group was full of traps, and anyone who broke in without someone inside would die.
In the past two years, no one has tried to sneak into Long Ting’s villa.
Chu Jiu followed Long Ting into the house.
After entering, she first poured Long Ting a glass of warm water.
“Young Master, what’s in this bag?”
Chu Jiu was referring to the gift Zhan Chi had given her.
Long Ting said, “Take a look at what’s inside.”
Chu Jiu opened the bag, took out the contents one by one, and said, “Young Master, it’s bird’s nest and skincare products.”
“Since it’s a gift from Aunt Liu and Bei Bei, you should accept it and use it yourself.” ”
The skincare products Bei Bei prepared for you are definitely for women, and I can’t use them. If you don’t use them, you can throw them away, but that would be a waste of Bei Bei and Aunt Liu’s good intentions. Are you willing to do that?”
Chu Jiu was reluctant.
If Beibei knew, she would be very sad.
She had watched her little sister grow up; how could she bear to see her sad?
“Let the young master have the bird’s nest.”
“This is top-quality bird’s nest, very good.”
