The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7248 - 7249

In the early morning hours, charlie’s flight landed smoothly in Jinling.

Feeling nervous, he quickly got into a taxi after leaving the airport and headed back to his villa at Tomson Yipin.

Along the way, he kept thinking about how he would explain himself if Xiao Churan questioned him.

After careful thought, he decided that denying everything was still the best option. Otherwise, if Xiao Churan asked why he had such close interactions with Tawanna over four consecutive performances, he would have no way to explain.

Meanwhile, Xiao Churan was also deeply conflicted.

She was fairly certain that the mysterious male dancer was most likely her husband, charlie.

However, she remained hesitant about whether she should confront him.

After all, she had no direct evidence proving the dancer was charlie.

The only indirect clue was that during the performances, charlie’s phone happened to be unreachable.

But that alone wasn’t enough to confirm anything.

Lost in thought, charlie had already arrived home.

Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun had gone to bed, and Xiao Churan, hearing the sound of the gate opening upstairs, hurried to the window. Seeing charlie entering the yard, she grew even more anxious.

When charlie stepped inside, he noticed that no one was on the first floor and figured everyone had already gone to their rooms. He changed into slippers and quietly headed upstairs toward his and Xiao Churan’s bedroom.

Just as he gently pushed open the door, Xiao Churan happened to be approaching. The two met at the doorway, and Xiao Churan visibly tensed with embarrassment.

In a slight panic, she tucked her hair behind her ear and said awkwardly, “Husband, you must be tired after coming back so late, right?”

charlie noticed her odd behavior but pretended not to and replied with a smile, “I’m not tired at all. I always feel relaxed once I’m home.”

Seeing charlie’s natural, easygoing smile, Xiao Churan’s heart was even more conflicted — torn between doubting her own suspicions and debating whether she should question him.

For some reason, deep down, she was afraid to dig any deeper.

So instead, she looked at charlie, smiled, and asked, “Are you heading to Shanghai again in a few days?”

“Yes,” charlie nodded. “If you take someone’s money, you have to see the job through to the end.”

Xiao Churan, feeling a little distressed, said, “Thank you for your hard work. Go take a shower and get some rest.”

Seeing that Xiao Churan had no intention of questioning him, charlie felt a wave of relief.

After showering, he came out of the bathroom to find Xiao Churan lying on the bed reading a book.

charlie lay down beside her and asked, “Wife, while I was away these past few days, was everything okay at home?”

Xiao Churan nodded and replied, “Everything was fine. My parents occasionally bicker or trade sarcastic remarks, but nothing serious.”

“That’s good,” charlie said with a nod.

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Churan added, “Oh, by the way, my mom said she doesn’t want to spend the New Year in Jinling this year.”

“Not celebrating in Jinling?” charlie recalled that Ma Lan had mentioned wanting to go somewhere warmer. He asked, “Is Mom still thinking about heading south?”

“Yes,” Xiao Churan nodded. “She’s getting tired of spending New Year here every year and now wants to go to the Maldives. Jinling just opened a direct flight there, and the local news has been pushing it these past few days. She saw it and got tempted.”

She continued, “There are two round-trip flights each week. We could leave on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month and return on the third day of the new lunar year. She wants me to get your opinion.”

charlie chuckled and asked, “Does Mom really want you to ask for my opinion, or does she want you to persuade me?”

Xiao Churan laughed and said, “You know her too well. She just wants me to convince you. She said our family hasn’t really traveled together for a vacation yet.”

charlie thought about his upcoming schedule. There wasn’t anything pressing that would require him to stay in the country over the New Year.

Since Xiao Churan brought it up herself, it was clear she was also interested — otherwise, she would have shut Ma Lan’s idea down right away.

So he said cheerfully, “Alright, let’s go!”

Xiao Churan beamed and said, “Since you agreed, I’ll spend some time over the next few days making a travel guide to find out which island offers the best value.”

charlie waved his hand and said, “Come on, your husband’s made plenty of money. Why bother looking for the best deal? Forget value — let’s pick the most expensive one!”

After saying that, without giving Xiao Churan a chance to respond, he added decisively, “Your husband will handle everything — you don’t need to worry about a thing!”

Xiao Churan knew that charlie had made quite a bit of money recently by working as a feng shui master. His minimum appearance fee now started at one million, and with his latest collaboration with Tawana, his income would be even higher. A family vacation for a few days would only cost a few hundred thousand at most. Since he was willing to handle it, she figured it was best to let him take care of everything.

So, Xiao Churan smiled and said, “Then I’ll leave it all to you, and just wait for my husband to make the arrangements!”

charlie realized he had just barely passed her scrutiny and felt much more at ease. Smiling, he said, “Don’t worry! Your husband will take care of everything perfectly!”

charlie didn’t know much about the Maldives, so he planned to ask someone more familiar with it the next day. Even if no one else could help, Song Wanting had grown up wealthy and should be knowledgeable about it.

…

The next morning, Xiao Churan got up early, quickly packed her things, had breakfast, and then headed to the company.

charlie casually greeted Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, exchanged a few pleasantries, then pulled out his phone to message Song Wanting and ask about the Maldives.

When Song Wanting heard that charlie planned to go to the Maldives, she immediately sent a voice message: “Master Ye, if you’re going to the Maldives, I highly recommend White Horse Island. It’s the most luxurious destination there. Food, entertainment, accommodations, and scenery are all top-notch.”

Hearing Song Wanting’s enthusiastic recommendation, charlie made up his mind without hesitation to choose White Horse Island.

He sent her a thank-you message, then opened a hotel and flight booking app to start planning his trip.

Song Wanting followed up, asking, “Master Ye, Wanting has a travel company. Would you like me to arrange the itinerary for you? You can even use the Song family’s private jet anytime.”

charlie smiled and replied, “No, no need. I’m planning to travel with my family to celebrate the New Year, so it’s better if I make the arrangements myself to avoid drawing any attention.”

Hearing this, Song Wanting didn’t insist further.

She understood that charlie hadn’t yet revealed his true identity to Xiao Churan, and if she intervened, she might unintentionally cause trouble despite her good intentions.

charlie booked two water villas on White Horse Island and first-class round-trip tickets for four people to Malé, the capital of the Maldives, using the app.

White Horse Island was indeed the most luxurious island in the Maldives, especially during the New Year period when prices soared — a single water villa cost nearly $100,000 per night.

However, for charlie, this amount was just a drop in the bucket. Without any hesitation, he booked the best villas available and also reserved a private plane to transfer them from Malé to the island.

Thanks to the recommendation and confirmation from a trusted acquaintance, charlie made his decision swiftly, without any unnecessary delays, and didn’t even bother reading the detailed introduction about White Horse Island.

This island was owned by the world’s largest luxury goods group.

The head of this group, Bernard Elno, had previously been tricked to death by charlie’s series of strategic moves during the auction of the Rejuvenation Pill.
