They continued walking side by side through the magnificent hallways, heading toward the wing of the mansion where the swimming pool was located. Each of them carried the bags containing the matching swimwear that had been ordered and delivered with such incredible speed. Jun Hao kept shaking his head and smiling in amusement, still utterly amazed by how Yan Jingshu’s wealth and power defied every logic and limitation an ordinary person like him was used to.

Before long, they arrived at a spacious room directly connected to the pool area. There were two separate doors leading to changing rooms, prepared exclusively for the residents or honored guests of this house. Without needing to exchange many words, they parted ways briefly, each entering their respective changing rooms to put on their new clothes.

It didn’t take them long to get ready.

Jun Hao stepped out first, wearing a pair of dark blue swim trunks that fit perfectly, highlighting his tall, sturdy, and athletic build. Moments later, Yan Jingshu also emerged from the women’s changing room. Jun Hao froze in his tracks for a moment, his eyes fixed on her. She was wearing a one-piece swimsuit in the exact same shade of dark blue as his, elegant yet tastefully revealing her graceful curves and her smooth, fair skin. She always appeared so formal, covered up, and authoritative in her usual attire, but right now, here, she looked breathtakingly beautiful, fresh, and radiant.

Together, they walked toward the edge of the main pool. It was enormous, the water crystal clear and shimmering under the bright lights mounted high on the ceiling. A thin layer of steam rose from the surface, indicating that the water was warm and perfectly comfortable.

However, Jun Hao suddenly stopped just as they reached the poolside. His eyes wandered around the vast room, scanning every corner. He noticed there were security cameras installed everywhere, positioned high up on the walls, angled to monitor every inch of the area. Not only that, but several maids and servants were standing respectfully along the edges of the room, waiting attentively for any instruction, their gazes fixed straight ahead, motionless and silent.

Jun Hao scratched his head awkwardly, then turned to look at Yan Jingshu with an uneasy smile. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Hey, Jingshu..." he said, pointing toward the cameras and the line of staff members standing at a distance. "It feels... really uncomfortable and awkward to swim like this, you know? It feels like I’m being watched every second. There are eyes everywhere, and people just standing there staring and waiting."

Yan Jingshu followed his gaze, looking around casually, then turned back to face him with a genuinely confused expression, as if she couldn’t understand why this was even a problem.

"Uncomfortable? Awkward about what?" she asked plainly. She tilted her head slightly, and suddenly, a playful, knowing smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. "Ah... I bet it’s that dirty mind of yours working overtime again, isn’t it? That’s why you feel self-conscious being watched. They are just doing their jobs and keeping the place safe, nothing more."

Jun Hao chuckled softly, stepping a little closer to her and looking straight into her eyes with a mischievous, teasing grin plastered all over his face.

"Wow... you really know exactly what’s going on inside my head, don’t you?" he replied, his tone dripping with playful innuendo.

Yan Jingshu let out a small huff, her cheeks flushing slightly pink under his gaze. She didn’t argue or reply further. Instead, she simply turned around and raised her hand slightly, signaling to the head butler who was standing waiting nearby. The man immediately approached them with respectful, swift steps.

"Call the head of security stationed in the watchtower," Yan Jingshu commanded, her voice turning firm and authoritative instantly, the voice of the powerful Young Mistress everyone knew. "Pass on my order: starting now, no one is allowed to approach the swimming pool area. All staff, guards, servants, everyone—they are to retreat and wait in the lounge outside. And tell the security captain to turn off all surveillance cameras covering this area immediately. Nothing is to be recorded or monitored here. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Miss Yan. It will be done right away," the butler answered respectfully. He bowed deeply, then turned and walked away quickly to relay the command. He didn’t ask why, he didn’t question her reasons, he simply accepted her wishes as absolute law and executed them perfectly.

A few moments later, the small red indicator lights on every single camera mounted on the walls flickered and went out one by one. The servants and staff members who had been standing guard also began to retreat in an orderly line, filing out of the large room until eventually, only Jun Hao and Yan Jingshu remained inside. The atmosphere became silent, peaceful, and completely private, filled only with the soft, gentle sound of rippling water.

Yan Jingshu turned back around to face Jun Hao. The stern, commanding look she had worn earlier melted away instantly, replaced by that soft, tender expression reserved only for him. She looked at him, a hint of pride and satisfaction in her eyes.

"Is it safe enough now?" she asked softly. "No more eyes watching, no more recording. Are you happy now? Satisfied?"

Jun Hao grinned broadly, his eyes shining with delight as he realized how effortlessly she moved mountains just to accommodate his little whim and make him comfortable. He stepped closer to her, wrapping his arm casually and affectionately around her shoulders.

"Satisfied? Of course I am, very much so," he answered with a cheeky smile, his voice turning soft and sweet, dripping with affection. "Thank you... my most understanding wife in the whole world."

Yan Jingshu blushed deeply at that endearing, intimate title, but she didn’t pull away or resist. Instead, she looked back at him with eyes full of deep, deep affection—the pure, earnest love of someone experiencing this feeling for the very first time in her life. To her, seeing Jun Hao happy, relaxed, and satisfied like this was the greatest happiness she could ever ask for. Whatever he wanted, whatever he needed, as long as she was capable, she would provide it instantly, without hesitation.

"Well then..." Jun Hao said, gently releasing her from his hold. He stepped back two paces right to the water’s edge, getting ready to jump in, his expression bright and playful again. "Let’s go see just how cold or warm this fancy mansion swimming pool really is!"

With one last wide, joyful grin, Jun Hao leaped forward, diving into the water and shattering the silence with a cheerful splash. A few seconds later, Yan Jingshu followed him in, entering the water with graceful elegance, ready to enjoy this beautiful, private moment together with the man she loved more than anything else in the world.
