Seaborne Garden, Villa No. 12, which is Feng Qing's home.
The lights were on, and all the rooms, furniture, and appliances had been given a fresh look.
In the living room on the first floor, Wang Yu sat on the sofa, sipping tea.
Chu Jiayu, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, stood beside him and said crisply, "Master, the master bedroom has been tidied up for you."
Wang Yu nodded and gave a faint "Mm."
Although this was Feng Qing and Chu Jiayu's home, Wang Yu was their master, and there was nothing inappropriate about him sleeping in the master bedroom.
Moreover, it was Feng Qing who had instructed Chu Jiayu to tidy the room herself.
At this moment, Cai Xiao, also dressed in a maid outfit but with a noticeably fuller figure, walked over.
"Master, the barbecue equipment and ingredients in the yard are ready."
Although Seaborne Garden had a cook, her culinary skills might not be inferior to Cai Xiao's.
However, Cai Xiao had followed Wang Yu for a long time and understood his tastes and preferences.
Therefore, Wang Yu had brought her along this time.
Wang Yu stood up and led the way outside, "Let's go, let's have a barbecue together."
"Jiayu, go call your mother. Cai Xiao, you come and eat too."
Wang Yu wasn't particularly hungry, but the others who had emerged from the secret realm might not be the same.
Besides, this barbecue also served as a small celebration feast.
Taking over Seaborne Garden was something Wang Yu had wanted to do in his previous life. Back then, he had taken his classmates and Chen Luoxue to Seaborne Garden when they escaped from Haixin University.
Unfortunately, they had encountered Xu Mingyuan and others along the way, forcing them to change their escape route.
Now, that regret was settled.
So, Wang Yu brought out plenty of high-quality ingredients, enough for over thirty people to feast on.
"Cai Xiao, have you been here before?"
Cai Xiao replied while helping Wang Yu grill something, "No, this is my first time in Seaborne Garden as well."
"Oh? With your cooking skills and appearance, hasn't anyone approached you?"
Cai Xiao smiled gently and said, "Yes, they have, but I heard that working here is a bit... well, not very free, so I didn't agree."
Wang Yu also chuckled, "That's good you didn't agree, otherwise no one would be here to serve me and cook for me."
Cai Xiao smiled and didn't reply, focusing on grilling the ingredients.
She knew Wang Yu was joking. If she hadn't been there, other cooks would have followed Wang Yu.
If she had come to work in Seaborne Garden before, she would either be a zombie corpse now or an ordinary woman with some looks and cooking skills in the apocalypse.
How could she be living so comfortably and with such status as she did now?
In the secret realm, everyone knew she was the chef Wang Yu had specifically hired. Whether in the manor or outside, almost no one among the hundreds of people in the secret realm dared to disrespect her.
Even the few mistresses treated her very gently.
Of course, Cai Xiao was not without self-awareness, so she was usually very low-key, just doing her best to do her job.
Just like now, she was focused on making delicious barbecue for Wang Yu.
After Chu Jiayu arrived, she picked up her favorite ingredients and placed them on the grill.
The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, looking quite expectant.
Although this wasn't the first time she had a barbecue in her own yard, after experiencing the hunger and scarcity of food in the apocalypse, this was the first time she could eat whatever she wanted.
After all, she didn't know how to cook when she was hiding at home, and she hadn't been to the secret realm manor with Wang Yu, only eating ordinary meals and packaged foods with average taste.
Feng Qing wore a wine-red evening gown that accentuated her hip-to-waist ratio to perfection.
She swayed her voluptuous and alluring body and came to Wang Yu's side.
Wang Yu handed her a glass of red wine, "This wine suits you as well as your dress."
Feng Qing accepted it with a smile, her smile gentle and generous, "Thank you!"
She raised her glass, took a sip, and looked out at the darkness beyond the villa.
"I used to have barbecues here too. The scenery was beautiful back then, with stars twinkling in the sky and lights blazing brightly on the ground, creating a dazzling spectacle."
"Master, do you think we can ever go back to those days?"
Facing Feng Qing's感慨, Wang Yu chuckled and said, "I don't know about others, but I can live whatever life I want because I have the strength to do so."
Feng Qing was slightly taken aback, surprised by Wang Yu's calm yet domineering words.
Then, she reacted and smiled, "Yes, Master, you can do anything, of course, you can."
Wang Yu took a small sip of red wine, indifferent to her flattery.
If Feng Qing knew that Wang Yu possessed a secret realm as large as Nanhaidao Island, she wouldn't have said such words, which were half flattery and half感慨.
In time, why couldn't he build a Haixin City within the secret realm?
Wasn't it about living whatever life he wanted?
Afterward, the two began to chat about other topics.
Cai Xiao stood by, grilling food for them and serving it.
After grilling some for herself, Chu Jiayu got lazy and didn't want to grill anymore, and felt it wasn't very tasty.
So, she hopped over to "steal" Cai Xiao's grilled food.
She didn't know Cai Xiao's background and only thought she was a cook Wang Yu had casually rescued.
However, after tasting Cai Xiao's cooking, she actively showed friendliness to Cai Xiao and started chatting with her.
Upon learning that Cai Xiao had been cooking for Wang Yu before the apocalypse, she asked Cai Xiao to teach her cooking skills.
Cai Xiao just smiled and agreed, not thinking that such a young lady from a wealthy family would have much perseverance to learn her cooking.
After all, it would take a considerable amount of time to learn even half of her skills.
After a while, Huang Sen returned with Lin Hao, Zhang Xiaoyu, and others.
He walked to Wang Yu with a grim expression and reported, "My Lord, Villa No. 1..."
He glanced at the three women beside Wang Yu and hesitated.
"Speak whatever you have to say," Wang Yu said.
"Yes! My Lord, there's a very strange old man in Villa No. 1 who won't let us in. He says he wants to talk to you."
"He also said that otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get the attack helicopter on his rooftop."
"Attack helicopter?" Wang Yu looked at Feng Qing, "Who lives in Villa No. 1?"
Feng Qing thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know much about it, because all the other owners don't interact with Villa No. 1. I've only heard that an old man with military background lives there."
Wang Yu pondered for a moment, "Then I'll go take a look. Huang Sen, you don't need to worry about Villa No. 1 anymore. Continue with your other tasks."
He still decided to go and see. An attack helicopter was worth a trip for him.
An attack helicopter was completely different from a regular helicopter.
There were definitely more than one helicopter in the entire Seaborne Garden, but this might be the only attack helicopter.
Besides, he was also a little interested in this old man and wanted to know what he wanted to discuss.
