The Tokyo Peninsula Hotel, being a classic international luxury brand, undoubtedly provides a great environment, yet it still doesn't offer the peace of mind that sleeping at home does.

Perhaps this is the charm of home.

When Jiang Chen woke up, his girlfriend was no longer there.

Leaning against the headboard and admiring the view outside the window, he slowly got out of bed.

After getting dressed and freshening up, he left the master bedroom intending to go downstairs, but suddenly remembered that he had brought a guest home last night.

So he headed east, arriving at the door of the second guest room.

"Knock knock knock..."

Jiang Chen, being very gentlemanly, raised his hand to knock, "It's time to get up."

Nothing but silence.

No response.

When he woke up, Jiang Chen checked the time, it was past nine, and according to Taoist nun Duanmu's lifestyle habits, she should have been up earlier than him.

"Knock knock knock..."

Jiang Chen knocked again, still no reaction, so he turned the doorknob.

"Click."

The door opened in response.

Jiang Chen pushed the door open and took a look inside.

The bedroom, no smaller than a standard apartment's living room, was empty, the bed neat as if no one had slept there.

Not to mention elsewhere.

Even in hotels, Tanki Liuli maintained this habit, tidying up the bed after waking up.

She did grow up in the mountains, never even attended the nine-year compulsory education, but education never equates to good manners.

Could she have gone for a morning workout?

Jiang Chen closed the door and went downstairs.

"Have you seen Duanmu?"

Regarding the Taoist nun little sister issue last night, Jiang Chen naturally made the necessary explanation.

Li Shuru, with great grace, gave her boyfriend her unconditional trust, merely commenting that she was more suitable as a secretary than a bodyguard.

On the word "suitable," Jiang Chen understood his girlfriend meant "in line with her image."

Indeed.

Anyone unfamiliar with Tanki Liuli would never associate her with a reclusive sage.

Rather, they'd picture "black silk," "short skirt," "high heels," the "office lady" attire on her.

The image was too beautiful.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to imagine it at all; it truly would be profaning the sacred.

Li Shuru definitely wouldn't leave the house silently; she was busy in the kitchen, but to Jiang Chen's surprise, he also saw Tanki Liuli there.

She seemed to be helping Li Shuru, holding a vegetable knife and chopping ingredients.

It really was a case of "a small knife sticking into the butt—eye-opening."

Li Shuru even thoughtfully tied an apron for her.

Such a large mansion, logically requiring a nanny, but neither Jiang Chen nor Li Shuru were comfortable having outsiders constantly present in their personal lives at the time, so they didn't hire a nanny. Nonetheless, they did have housekeeping services, because cleaning such a large space is indeed quite a significant task.

Initially not hiring, they just continued this way into the present.

Without a nanny, obviously, they had to do things themselves, though their instances of cooking at home were not frequent.

Li Shuru learned cooking later, and up to now, she's quite proficient, but Tanki Liuli...

Alright.

Jiang Chen recalled in "Once Upon a Mountain," Taoist nun Duanmu wasn't the type who kept her hands off household tasks. After all, she had to take care of the old cultist... I mean, the old immortal, washing clothes, fetching water, cooking—all she had to master.

But after leaving the mountain, she followed Boss Jiang, the local magnate, instantly ending poverty, leading an "indulged and respected" lifestyle, just eating without needing to do anything herself.

Beyond the novelty, Jiang Chen found it more amusing.

Li Shuru was quite aloof in the past, and Tanki Liuli even more so, practically a walking Bodhisattva. How did the two, after just meeting, hit it off?

The business administration degree really wasn't in vain; Li Shuru arranged tasks for Tanki Liuli perfectly, her knife work so exquisite, enough to make five-star chefs feel ashamed.

"Come help, crack a few eggs."

Li Shuru turned to her boyfriend, roping him in.

Alright.

Might as well sleep more.

Milky cheese omelet.

Sandwich.

Vegetable salad.

Steak.

Seafood porridge.

Coconut cookies.

A wide variety.

Seems like besides her job, Ms. Li never forgot to learn culinary skills.

"Your skills have improved a lot, which master did you learn from?"

"Need to learn from a master? Just search the internet."

Li Shuru's personality really changed quite a bit, at least in front of familiar people. She turned to Tanki Liuli, "Miss Duanmu, just make yourself comfortable."

Jiang Chen was amused.

You've already got her cooking, then you say this... isn't it too polite?

And even though Taoist nun Duanmu might be a bit "shy," she definitely isn't someone who draws a line.

"Mm."

Sure enough.

Tanki Liuli responded, picking up chopsticks first.

"Miss Duanmu got up earlier than me."

"Really?"

Jiang Chen picked up the milk.

"When I went downstairs, Miss Duanmu was sitting on the sofa."

The milk in Jiang Chen's mouth nearly spurted out, he couldn't help but look at Tanki Liuli, who was eating the omelet.

Isn't sitting boring?

Can't you scroll through your phone?

Isn't it long switched to a smartphone for her?

Seems not everyone becomes slaves to technology.

"The environment here is nice, and this space is big. After waking up, you can exercise, run a bit, something like that."

Jiang Chen said to Tanki Liuli.

Last night he had already mentioned to Li Shuru that the Taoist nun sister might be staying here for a while. Li Shuru once again showed her open-mindedness and thoughtfulness, without any objections.

If it were another bodyguard, faced with the boss's instructions, they'd certainly be deferential. But Tanki Liuli is a different case, making no indication at all, one can't tell if she listened or not.

Before Jiang Chen woke up, Li Shuru must have communicated with her, plus the ten minutes last night, she's probably got a basic understanding of her personality,
