Chapter 473: The Portable Space Astounds Everyone
Ye Shuqin looked at her daughter sleeping soundly and gently put her into the crib.
Zhang Lei tried to stop her, but Ye Shuqin glared at him and he immediately smiled and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Shuqin leaned against Zhang Lei and whispered, "Honey, are we really leaving?"
Zhang Lei nodded: "For you, for the children, for this family, I have no choice but to leave."
He patted Ye Shuqin on the shoulder. "Are you worried about your grandparents and parents?"
Ye Shuqin nodded gently.
Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "If you're really worried, how about we bring them over once we've established ourselves in Hong Kong?"
Ye Shuqin paused for a moment, then shook her head: "They won't leave."
Zhang Lei gently comforted them, "This year is 64, and next year will be 65. If we don't leave now, it will be too late. Leaving now won't attract attention. We've already done what we needed to do."
Ye Shuqin nodded and nestled in his arms without saying another word.
Zhang Lei held her in his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Shuqin, I told you before that our Zhang family has a secluded clan territory, do you remember?"
Ye Shuqin looked up: "I remember you said you would tell me when the time was right."
"Now is the time to act."
Zhang Lei stood up, locked the door, and said, "Pick up our daughter."
Seeing his mysterious behavior, Ye Shuqin quickly picked up her daughter.
Zhang Lei reached out and gently touched the ground, and the surrounding environment instantly changed.
Ye Shuqin stared at everything before her in disbelief.
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "This is the secluded ancestral home of our Zhang family."
Pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water—it possesses the elegance of Suzhou gardens, the magnificence of palaces, and the beauty of the countryside, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Zhang Lei, holding her hand, laughed and said, "This place is controlled by my will. As long as I'm here, we can come in anytime."
He showed Ye Shuqin around, saying, "See? This boundless place is all ours."
Ye Shuqin stood on a high place looking into the distance when Zhang Lei suddenly picked her up and flew directly into the air.
Ye Shuqin was so frightened that she almost dropped the child, but Zhang Lei casually pointed, and his daughter floated peacefully in the air, sleeping soundly.
She was so shocked she couldn't speak. Looking down, she hurriedly covered her nightgown.
Zhang Lei chuckled: "Don't worry, there are only the three of us here right now. No one can come in without my permission."
Ye Shuqin finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Honey, can I fly too?"
"sure."
The two, holding the child, flew freely in the air, sometimes skimming over the lake, sometimes passing through the forest.
Looking at the vast, empty fields, Ye Shuqin asked in confusion, "Husband, why is there nothing here except fields?"
"The main problem is that I haven't had time to set it up yet."
Tired from flying, Zhang Lei carried his daughter back to the ground.
Ye Shuqin hugged him tightly, exclaiming in delight, "Honey, you still say you're not an immortal? This is clearly the work of an immortal!"
Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Say what you will. Here, I am omnipotent; outside this space, I am just an ordinary person."
Ye Shuqin's eyes lit up: "Honey, why don't we bring the whole family here and live here from now on? Wouldn't that be great?"
Zhang Lei put his arm around her and said gently, "Of course, I was planning to use this place to get you out of here safely anyway."
Ye Shuqin was taken aback: "We're going outside again?"
Zhang Lei kissed her forehead: "Of course we have to go. Humans are social animals. It's okay for a short time with just our small group, but we'll get bored after a while. There are different cultures and different scenery outside. Don't worry, with me here, I will make sure none of you suffer any injustice."
Ye Shuqin nodded.
The next second, the three of them were instantly back in their room at home.
Looking at the familiar furnishings, Ye Shuqin still couldn't believe it: "Husband, we're back already?"
"certainly."
Ye Shuqin smiled at him and said, "Did you plan all of this all along?"
Zhang Lei nodded: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything outside. From now on, your job is to eat, drink, and have fun. As long as you don't gamble or visit prostitutes, do whatever makes you happy."
Ye Shuqin couldn't help but laugh: "Neither gambling nor whoring?"
Zhang Lei gave her a disapproving look: "What, you want to think about other random things? Looks like I need to punish you properly."
When Ye Shuqin saw him rushing towards her, she quickly smiled and begged for mercy.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Lei dismissed all thirty-six nannies in his household and looked at Ye Shuqin: "Have all the fees and severance pay been settled?"
Ye Shuqin nodded: "It's all settled, and they even gave me an extra sum."
Relieved, Zhang Lei walked to Lou Xiao'e's side and asked, "Xiao'e, what are your plans for Aunt Ya and the others?"
Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment, then replied, "I've already told them they'll be leaving soon too."
Zhang Lei instructed, "Prepare some things for Aunt Ya and the others later. Don't worry, I've left someone here to look after them."
Lou Xiao'e nodded. Although she didn't know who Zhang Lei had left behind, she knew he had his own plans.
Zhang Lei then walked up to He Yushui: "Yushui, has the house been handed over?"
He Yushui replied, "The handover is complete. Everything has been handed over to my second uncle and aunt."
Zhang Lei was relieved to hear that she had handed the house over to Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu.
Chen Xueru walked over, carrying a suitcase.
Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "Is everything taken care of?"
Chen Xueru nodded: "Everything has been taken care of, this is the gold that has been converted into cash."
Zhang Lei had previously asked her to sell the silk shop and the house at a low price, but he didn't ask her how exactly it was done.
In the courtyard house at No. 89.
Zhang Lei looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Everyone held hands, and in an instant, they all entered Zhang Lei's personal space.
Looking at the completely unfamiliar, fairyland-like environment, everyone began to whisper among themselves, and one question after another flooded Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei smiled and raised his hand: "Stop for a minute, ask one by one. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. Don't rush."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a hundred life-class robots appeared out of thin air, startling everyone.
Zhang Lei explained, "From now on, these 100 robots will follow us, with two assigned to each person. They will do everything from laundry and cooking to housework, and will take care of you specifically."
The crowd looked at the robots with a sense of novelty.
Zhang Lei added, "They're just machines for now, and you can customize their appearance to your liking. But since you're my wives, you can only be designed as women."
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Zhang Lei coughed awkwardly: "This is for your safety."
Chen Xueru jokingly said, "Honey, I think you're just thinking of yourself."
Yang Maixiang retorted irritably, "Who knows what you're thinking with your filthy thoughts?"
Zhang Lei was speechless. These wives had been living too comfortably lately and were getting too arrogant.
He was adamant that all robots must be female—no one would be happy to have two men around their wife.
Only after Zhang Lei's introduction did everyone realize that this was the Zhang family's secluded ancestral home.
Zhang Lei demonstrated it again on the spot, taking everyone into the air, which amazed everyone even more.
