Chapter 279 Honeymoon Trip: Traveling Around the World
Chapter 279 Honeymoon Trip: Traveling Around the World
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the heavy silk curtains, forcefully slicing a golden crack across the carpet.
Su Qingge, still feeling exhausted from last night's almost absurd "physical tug-of-war," was now lazily curled up in bed.
She revealed a section of her fair, jade-like shoulder, her long, black hair disheveled on the pillow, and she was still humming softly.
That was a protest tinged with a hint of coquettishness, born from extreme physical exhaustion.
Lin Zhou, however, had already finished washing up feeling refreshed.
He changed into a high-quality, minimalist white linen shirt, casually rolling up the cuffs to reveal a priceless custom-made watch on his wrist.
The energy potion distributed by the system not only completely repaired his hidden injuries, but also made him as energetic as a young man who had just come of age.
He walked to the bedside, looked at the bulging silk quilt, and a doting, mischievous smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Honey, the sun's so hot it's practically melting my butt."
As Lin Zhou spoke, he deftly pulled three hard, black-and-gold plane tickets from his pocket.
He flicked the plane ticket lightly in the air, making a crisp sound of paper clattering.
Su Qingge struggled to peek one eye out from under the covers, her pupil not yet fully focused.
"Lin Zhou... what's wrong with you now... let me sleep for five more minutes..."
Her voice was husky yet soft, like a ragdoll cat whose fur had been stroked but hadn't had enough sleep.
Lin Zhou decisively sat on the edge of the bed, precisely handing the plane ticket to her right under her nose.
"We have to leave in five minutes. The tickets are already booked. Our first stop is a private flight directly to the Indian Ocean."
Su Qingge was stunned, and her brain, which had become somewhat sluggish due to lack of sleep, began to slowly start working again.
"Airplane tickets? Three?"
She suddenly became mostly awake, grabbed the heavy black and gold card, on which were clearly printed her name, Lin Zhou's name, and Nuonuo's name.
"Are you crazy? You're abandoning those multi-billion dollar projects with Starry Sky Media? The negotiations with the Su family aren't even finished yet!"
Lin Zhou snorted dismissively and reached out to smooth the wrinkles between her brows.
"Leave those trivial matters to Uncle Chen and Sister Hong. The time I've wasted on you two over the past seven years doesn't even amount to a hair's breadth of these projects."
"I've made up my mind. From now on, our whole family will travel around the world."
"Leaving behind all official duties, leaving behind those rats hiding in the gutter, that's called a honeymoon."
Su Qingge stared blankly at him, a warm feeling of being protected surging violently in her heart.
She originally thought that a man like Lin Zhou, who held the fate of the world in his hands, was destined to be bound to the throne for the rest of his life.
But I never expected him to leave so decisively.
"Daddy! Where are we going?"
A small, delicate figure suddenly burst through the door.
Wearing an adorable strawberry-print overalls and barefoot, Nuonuo nimbly jumped onto the big bed like a pink little cannonball.
She bounced excitedly between Lin Zhou and Su Qingge, her little face flushed.
"Grandpa Chen said Dad bought a super big airplane and is going to take Nuonuo to catch sea monsters!"
Nuonuo grabbed the plane ticket from Lin Zhou's hand, and although she couldn't understand the foreign language on it, she gave it a quick kiss.
"Let's go play! Mom, wake up! We're going to catch a big monster!"
Seeing her daughter's happy expression, Su Qingge's initial worries vanished instantly.
She looked at Lin Zhou, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Where should we go first? You need to give me some time to prepare, right?"
Lin Zhou stood up and forcefully pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms.
"It's a private island at the southernmost tip of the Maldives, owned by the Lin family. Aside from us, there are only fish for miles around."
"It's very private there; I even filtered the satellite signals multiple times. You can wear your favorite bikini and sleep on the beach all day."
Su Qingge blushed with embarrassment and spat lightly.
"You never have anything serious on your mind."
Lin Zhou hugged her tighter, his tone suddenly becoming low and serious.
"For me, making you and Nuonuo laugh happily is the most important thing in the world."
"Go wash up. Bloodhound has already started the car downstairs. We don't have much time left."
Fifteen minutes later.
Su Qingge changed into a refreshing floral dress and wore a large straw hat, concealing her stunningly beautiful face that could bring ruin to a country.
Nuonuo carried her beloved little yellow duck backpack and was also holding an inflatable dolphin that was taller than her.
Lin Zhou, carrying a simple suitcase, pushed open the heavy door of the castle.
Outside the gate, nine pure black armored vehicles formed a long, menacing line.
Bloodhound and dozens of Shadow Guard members stood ramrod straight, exuding an imposing aura.
"Master, the shipping lanes have been completely cleared. All ground surveillance along the route has been taken over by the hacker legion to ensure that no tail can follow us."
Bloodhound calmly reported, his eyes revealing the high importance he placed on this trip.
Lin Zhou nodded slightly.
"Leave the household to Uncle Chen. Unless the sky falls, don't bother me."
"clear!"
The convoy discreetly and swiftly made its way through the morning mist of Beijing, heading straight for the private helipad.
At the end of that empty runway, a Gulfstream G700 private jet, painted with a dark gold family crest, lay quietly in the sunlight.
Its streamlined fuselage gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, like a giant silver eagle ready to tear the sky apart at any moment.
As the cabin door opened, the flight attendants in white uniforms bowed respectfully.
The cabin had already been decorated in a cozy family style, with a variety of top-quality ingredients and Nuonuo's favorite snacks piled up on the exquisite dining table.
Nuonuo was the first to rush into the cabin and started rolling around on the spacious leather sofa.
"Wow! This big airplane is so beautiful! Nuonuo wants to fly up to the clouds!"
Lin Zhou took Su Qingge's hand and slowly stepped onto the gangway.
Just a second before stepping into the cabin, he keenly glanced back at the distant hills.
A fleeting glimpse of the Godfather's coldness flashed in his eyes, only to transform into utmost gentleness.
"Stop looking, let's go."
Su Qingge gently tugged at his sleeve, her pretty face flushed.
"You're not allowed to make that scary face again. You're here to have fun with us."
Lin Zhou laughed heartily, then casually put his arm around his wife's slender waist and decisively walked into the cabin.
"Alright, I'll do as you say, Madam."
"Captain, takeoff."
With a deep and violent roar from the two Rolls-Royce engines, the steel behemoth carrying the Lin family's top secrets began to accelerate wildly on the runway.
The nose of the plane suddenly lifted, breaking through the thick sea of clouds and plunging straight into the boundless blue sky.
Su Qingge looked through the porthole and watched as the capital city below gradually turned into a tiny dot of light.
The heavy feeling that had been weighing on my heart was finally swept away by the gale at 10,000 meters above the ground.
She turned to look at Lin Zhou, who was peeling an orange for Nuonuo, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
"Lin Zhou, we're going to travel around the world, right?"
Lin Zhou stuffed a piece of orange into her mouth, his eyes full of determination.
"Yes, this is just the beginning. We can keep flying as long as we want, all the way to the ends of the earth."
Su Qingge swallowed the sweet fruit, her eyes sparkling with lively light.
"What if I want to go to the Arctic to see the aurora borealis?"
Lin Zhou raised an eyebrow, his tone lazy yet arrogant.
"Then I'll buy a nuclear-powered icebreaker and take you to the pole to eat hot pot."
Su Qingge chuckled and pointed out the window.
"Look, it's the sea."
The vast, azure Indian Ocean stretches out beneath your feet, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
The Gulfstream private jet left a long trail of white smoke as it flew towards the unknown blue sea.
"Dad, have we arrived?"
"It'll be soon, baby."
