Leo felt very nervous. He hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pretended that he didn’t see anything
However, Barbara was not honest at all. She twisted and even reached out to hug his waist, then laid her head on his chest and sighed.
Leo was a normal man, if he let Barbara continue like this, he could not guarantee that he could still suppress the thirst.
Thus, before things got out of hand, he took a deep breath, grabbed a towel from the side, wrapped it around the naked Barbara, and carried her back to her room.
Leo tucked Barbara into the bed and took a nightgown to put it on her. As Barbara blushed, he was even more charmed.
Leo took another deep breath and immediately turned around to take a cold shower in the bathroom.
After showering, Leo returned to his room. Barbara had already kicked the blanket away, lying on the bed uglily.
He and Barbara had registered for the wedding a month ago, and during his absence from business, they had been sleeping together. Which night did Barbara not behave herself?
He went to pick up the quilt and covered her again.
Barbara suddenly flipped over and kicked the blanket away again.
Barcelona was located in the south. Although the weather was not very cold, they were by the sea and the night wind was strong. If she continued to cause trouble like this, she would definitely catch a cold.
Leo shook his head, he could only lie down and hugged the dishonest Barbara, before pulling the blanket up to cover her.
Barbara instinctively went closer to him and put her head into Leo’s embrace. After rubbing against him for a bit, she finally became more obedient.
When Barbara woke up, it was already bright.
When she opened her eyes, she instinctively looked towards the window, but unexpectedly, she did not see Leo this time.
During this period of time, as long as she opened her eyes, she could see Leo sitting by the window and reading a newspaper.
She turned around and picked up her phone. When she saw that her phone had been switched to flight mode, the time displayed on the screen was 12:23.
In other words, she slept until noon and missed the department’s morning expansion.
Barbara suddenly sat up, then jumped off the bed, and immediately rushed towards the washroom.
However, just as she took a step forward, Barbara stopped.
Her memory was still on last night when she was bathing in the hot spring. Now, however, she was only wearing a nightgown.
In other words, she had fallen asleep in the hot spring last night. Leo had carried her back to her room and even helped her change her clothes.

Barbara quickly opened her collar to take a look. Seeing that she was still fine, she could not help but feel relieved. But she remembered that she had been seen through by Leo without her knowledge.
She went back on the bed and felt ashamed. Then she screamed,
“What’s wrong?”
Leo’s low and sexy voice sounded out in the room, scaring Barbara.
Barbara quietly looked up. Leo was sitting on the sofa in the other corner of the room with a folder in his hands. He was looking at her.
So it turned out that he had been in the room the entire time, but he had not made a sound. Thus, he had seen all of her childish actions just now.
Barbara suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Seeing that she did not reply, Leo put down the document and walked over, then asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
“I’m fine.” Barbara covered herself with the pillow, she really dared not to face him.
Leo had already seen actions just now, but he remained calm and said, “Get up and pack up. We’ll head back together after eating dinner.”
Barbara said in a low voice, “I still have to participate in the department’s activities in the afternoon.”
Leo said, “I got Jannie to give you a leave of absence.”
Barbara, “…”
The car this time was not the Land Rover that Leo was driving to work in, but a silver grey car that was driven by a driver. The license plate of the car was A1688, and the logo on the steering wheel was even more amazing.
Because the people around her liked to research cars, Barbara also knew it a lot. She knew that this was Mulsanne that was worth millions.
Seeing that Leo was so wealthy, Barbara looked around and asked curiously, “Leo, what business did you do in the past?”
Leo said, “We will do pretty much all the business that earn money.”
What he said was the truth. The restaurants, real estate, tourism, film and television companies, electronic technology, and so on. The Zenith Group of the Young Family had dabbled in all kinds of profitable businesses.
Barbara didn’t know the truth, but she thought that she was being perfunctory, and wasn’t in the mood to ask anymore.
Leo was very busy.
After getting on the car, he turned on the computer to process some documents, while the work phone beside him kept ringing.
After the car was driven for around 10 minutes, he probably received 10 calls. Leo spoke in fluent English.
In the past, when he was in university, Barbara’s English was also above level 6, but she did not really understand what Leo
said.
She could faintly hear him issuing some orders decidedly.

The Wing had only been developed in the past two years, and the business had not yet gone abroad. Barbara guessed that Leo was probably handling his own business.
After about half an hour, Leo finally stopped. He turned to looked at Barbara, “What are you thinking about?“–
It was rare for him to chat with her, so Barbara laughed, “I’m thinking about what kind of people are in your family.”
In the past, Barbara never thought of asking Leo’s family members. Maybe it was because he trusted her so unconditionally yesterday, so she wanted to know him more.
Leo paused, then said. “There are grandfather, parents and an ignorant little sister.”
When Leo talked about his little sister, he seemed to grit his teeth, and felt that he was holding back something.
Hearing this, Barbara became interested, and asked again, “An ignorant sister?” Why is she so ignorant?”
Leo frowned. He did not want to bring it up again.
They had been registered for almost a month, but Leo had never mentioned bringing her to see her parents. Now that she had asked, he did not want to say.
She didn’t want to mention her family in front of Leo because something like that had happened in her family.
Was it also because he didn’t have a good relationship with his family? Or was there another reason?
Barbara didn’t want to think in a bad way, but she didn’t believe that there were so many coincidences in the world. Perhaps, Leo didn’t want to bring her to see his family.
Thinking about it this way, Barbara pursed her lips and did not continue asking.
After a

Leo said, “Barbara, my family is not in the country. After a few days, when they return, I will bring you to see
Barbara laughed
“That’s not what I meant.”
Leo asked, “Then what do you mean?”
Barbara was actually speechless.
Two hours later, they finally returned to Dream Villa, where they lived.
After getting off the car, Barbara planned to go to the supermarket to get some daily necessities and ingredients.
Leo, who was still busy, put down the documents and got off the car with her. “I’ll go with you.”
Seeing that he was busy, Barbara could not let him go with her, “Go ahead with your stuff. I’ll go alone.”
Leo glanced at her, and took the lead to walk forward, and said, “Your husband can help you.”
Barbara shook her head helplessly and followed along.
Leo took the initiative to push the shopping cart and walked to her left.
Some peoples whispered, “That man is so handsome. He’s so charming.”
Barbara could not help but look up at him, smiling, “Someone is praising you.”

Leo replied coldly, “I don’t need them to praise me.”
Barbara smiled and asked, “Then who do you need to praise?”
Leo looked down to look at her, and she blushed once again. She said in a low voice, “You really are very handsome, the most good–looking man I’ve ever seen.”
Barbara was speaking the truth, but when she spoke, she dared not to look at him. It was as if he could see through a person.
After a brief silence, he said. “Well, I know.”
Barbara secretly blinked at him, what kind of person was this. He asked her to praise him, so she praised him, but he replied
in this way.
After circling around, they finally arrived at the fresh area. Barbara picked a grass carp and prepared to make a boiled fish
for Leo.
She pointed at the fish she had chosen and said gently, “Master, I need this fish. Help me slice the fish as well.”
The fishmonger was a young man, and upon seeing Barbara, he blushed and nodded. Then he killed the fish and sliced their scales cleanly. He took a few bags of fish and gave them to Barbara. “Here you are, welcome next time!”
Barbara smiled as she received the fish, “Thank you!”
Leaving the fish stall, Barbara walked to as she walked two steps, she suddenly heard Leo’s deep voice once more, “You’re quite popular.”
the vegetables stall. Just
Barbara reached out and hooked her arm around
arm,
frowned and laughed, “Because I’m also very outstanding.”
Leo was stunned for a moment, then he pulled out his arm to hold her hand and continued to lead her around.
After buying all the necessities, the mission of taking the bag back after settling the bill naturally fell to Leo.
Seeing that his hands were not empty yet she felt relaxed, Barbara sweetly smiled, thinking that having a considerate husband was really not bad.
She also noticed a very touching detail. When Leo came to the supermarket with her, he didn’t bring his phone for work.
Along the way, they did not talk anymore. Back at home, Leo put the ingredients she bought into the kitchen, “I’ll cook with you tonight.”
Barbara looked at him and laughed, “You should still be responsible for washing the dishes. “Besides, I’ll just make two dishes and it’ll be ready soon.”
She felt that Leo being beside her would affect her, so it was better for her to keep him at a distance.
Leo thought that he was indeed not good at cooking, and had listened to Barbara’s advice.
Barbara first cooked the rice in the pot, then washed the vegetables and prepared the seasonings.
Other people liked to put bean sprouts under the fish, but Barbara especially liked to add a few onions inside.
It didn’t take long before the fish came out of the pot. Barbara tasted it first and felt that it was not bad, thus she called Leo who was still busy eating out.
Because she had the experience from last time, Barbara prepared a pair of public chopsticks.

She used public chopsticks to give Leo some fish and onions, and blinked at him, “Quickly taste it, see if it’s good?”
Leo looked at the onion and frowned. He didn’t want to taste it.
Barbara noticed and asked anxiously, “Don’t you like onions?”
“Nope.” Leo wasn’t willing to admit that he was allergic to onions in front of Barbara.
Remembering that as he did not eat Barbara’s food last time, she was angry and stayed at her friend’s house for the whole night. If he didn’t eat it this time…
Thinking up to here, Leo looked up at Barbara. He did not think anymore and picked up the chopsticks to eat.
