Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

After responding to Tao Muyao's greeting, Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang clearly sensed that their leader's wife was looking at them with a strange expression.

In fact, back in Beiping, Tao Muyao had already clearly sensed the difference between the bodyguards she had hired and those around Zhou Feng.

Now, seeing the difference between Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang and Zhou Feng's previous bodyguards, it's like seeing the difference between your own bodyguards and someone else's.

This is clearly the difference between 1, 5, and 25!

Bodyguards of this caliber are probably not something you can hire just by paying money, right?

After just one business trip, her bodyguards were upgraded to this level. Coupled with the confidentiality agreement she had signed before, she became even more curious about Zhou Feng's trading company.

"Yaoyao, is this your boyfriend?"

A girl following behind Tao Muyao approached her and cautiously asked a question.

We're all from the same hometown and have similar family circumstances, so it's understandable that we'd all be on the same flight back.

But how did you manage to achieve a social class leap without your girlfriends knowing?

Is this the kind of scale that a family like ours can access?

"Ah, this is Zhou Feng, and this is my good friend Qiqi. She's also been in Beiping. When she heard I asked for leave, she came back with me."

"Alright, since you came back together, then come with us!"

Zhou Feng casually extended an invitation. Qi Qi looked like an ordinary person, and he didn't have any other intentions; he just casually made the invitation.

"No...no need, you can go on your own, I have a car to pick you up."

Qiqi forced a smile, waved to the two of them, and walked towards the shuttle bus on her own.

After boarding the shuttle bus, he immediately booked a private car online.

Who wants to ride in Zhou Feng's car?

Putting everything else aside, those two bodyguards alone are enough to put pressure on people!

And then there's Zhou Feng, who doesn't look much older than her, but when he stands there, he's even more intimidating than her father.

Moreover, if I take such a car home, won't my parents interrogate me relentlessly?

She didn't want to have to explain to her parents later that this was Tao Muyao's boyfriend and that they had nothing to do with each other...

The two women had a good relationship, were quite different in age, and faced similar family difficulties.

Every time I go home, all I do is urge her to get married. The only difference is that Tao Muyao is very good-looking, but she has too high standards when it comes to choosing a partner, which is why she hasn't entered the hall of marriage yet.

She simply hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Am I that scary?"

Watching Tao Muyao's retreating figure as she fled onto the shuttle bus, Zhou Feng looked at Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Tie Jianguo stayed close to Zhou Feng and didn't notice any changes.

Instead, Tao Muyao stood next to Zhou Feng, scrutinized him carefully for a while, and then nodded seriously: "You're really quite intimidating. Did you get promoted at the company? You seem to have a much stronger aura."

Hearing what Tao Muyao said, Zhou Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

He certainly didn't get promoted in the company, but he became the emperor in the Song Dynasty, so it's only natural that he carries some authority.

I didn't expect these two girls to have such keen senses; they actually noticed it!

"Since she's not coming, let's leave ourselves!"

Zhou Feng took Tao Muyao's hand and got into the car. Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang sat in the driver's and passenger's seats respectively. The partition in the middle was lowered, leaving Zhou Feng and Tao Muyao in a separate space in the back seat.

Compared to women from other worlds, Tao Muyao was the first one to capture his heart, and she had already met his family's Ms. Li and Mr. Zhou, and gained their approval.

From this perspective, his legal wife should actually be Tao Muyao.

However, I can't tell her about this for now.

Ms. Li and Mr. Zhou are trustworthy. Even though the truth has been revealed, they will keep quiet for his sake.

But Tao Muyao couldn't guarantee anything. What if the girl told her parents, and then her parents accidentally let it slip? That would be a real problem.

The couple, deeply in love, had been separated for so long due to work. Now that they met again, their passion was irresistible. Apart from not being able to have sex in the car, Zhou Feng didn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of them.

Tao Muyao kept glaring at him, saying, "You went out for a while, and now you've come back so awful? Did you do something to betray me?"

Having survived that chaotic ordeal, Zhou Feng was practically immune to this kind of questioning. He simply chuckled and said, "It's precisely because I didn't do anything wrong that I missed you so much, and I'm waiting to come back and do something naughty with you!"

The logic behind these words pleased Tao Muyao greatly. She released her grip on Zhou Feng's wrist and looked around curiously.

"What brand is this car? It's so comfortable! Did you modify it? Or is it original? How much did it cost? I want to buy one for my family too!"

Although this vehicle looks no different from an ordinary commercial vehicle on the outside, once you sit inside, anyone can feel the huge difference between it and other commercial vehicles on the market!

"You can't buy this; it's a special supply."

Zhou Feng smiled mysteriously; he had only just picked up the car himself.

The brand of this commercial vehicle has not even been released to the market, nor is it for sale to the public, so it is naturally impossible to buy it.

Even the car manufacturer is an official company that only accepts private customization and provides handcrafted business vehicles for some high-ranking leaders.

If it weren't for Zhou Feng's special status, even with his rank of major general, he might not have been able to order a car from here.

"Alright then... I'll come find you if I want to sit down!"

"It's alright. I'll leave this car in Beiping for you when I go on business trips. I'll arrange a driver for you, and you can use it."

Although this car is extremely comfortable and bulletproof, Zhou Feng is heading to a parallel universe from some unknown work.

Commercial vehicles like these are not convenient to take there; the best choice is still an off-road vehicle, which is sturdy and durable.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to leave this car for me."

Tao Muyao didn't stand on ceremony with Zhou Feng either, since he hadn't been polite to her since she got in the car.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Feng turned on the massage function on the seat. The girl was a little tired after such a long flight, so it was a good time for her to rest.

To his relief, Tao Muyao picked him up after getting off the plane and immediately told him to go to his house.

This indirectly shows her attitude towards Zhou Feng at this time: she not only doesn't resist him, but she even has the intention to stay with him forever.

On the way back, although the road was a bit bumpy, the car's suspension was stable enough and the shock absorption was effective.

Zhou Muyao, who was sleeping soundly in Zhou Feng's arms, was completely unaware of anything.

"Yaoyao, you're finally here! You must be exhausted from all the travel today. Why don't you stay at home after dinner? There are spare rooms! Auntie can chat with you tonight."

"No...no need, Aunt Li. It's not good for me to come here right after I got back. If I don't go home soon, I'm afraid my mom will complain!"

Ms. Li nodded seriously after listening to Tao Muyao's words.

She's just short-tempered, not unreasonable. Their daughter hasn't even registered her marriage with Zhou Feng yet, so it's really inappropriate for her to live here with them.

The meal wasn't finished until it got dark.

Ms. Li directly rejected Tao Muyao's idea of ​​calling a ride-hailing service to go home, and instead sent Zhou Feng and his two teammates to escort her back to her home.

Tao Muyao's behavior in front of Zhou Feng today, while not perfect, was certainly appropriate, both in front of her friends and in her attitude towards Zhou Feng's parents.

For a fleeting moment, Zhou Feng even considered getting married to her directly.

After all, if he wanted to take his parents to another world, he would have to make things clear with Tao Muyao first.

Otherwise, if the husband's family of three suddenly disappeared, what daughter-in-law could bear such a shock? She would surely feel abandoned.

Only after Zhou Feng and Tao Muyao registered their marriage and became officially husband and wife could Zhou Feng tell her his secret.

Of course, she will also attract the attention of the state, and they may even send a group of comrades to follow her in private.

While preventing leaks, it also serves a protective function.

After all, Zhou Feng's importance is absolutely irreplaceable, no matter who he is compared to.

Tao Muyao didn't stay, and there was still an empty room in the house, so Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang immediately arranged the rules for keeping watch.

The two of them take turns keeping watch during the first and second halves of the night, which allows them to get a little more rest.

"Get ready, we'll take Yaoyao to the temple to pray tomorrow."

"Worshiping gods? Do you believe in Buddhism or Taoism now? When did you become a believer? How come I didn't know?"

Zhou Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.

I'd never heard of my parents having this kind of belief before!

Ms. Li glared at him, annoyed: "Does it matter when you believe something like this? The important thing is to believe it!"

Seeing that the latter seemed a bit unsure of himself, Zhou Feng decisively turned his gaze to Lao Zhou.

Old Zhou's lips curled up slightly: "Your mother believed it last night."

"Pah! Do you need to tell me? Can't I tell you myself?"

Ms. Li, somewhat blustering but actually cowardly, punched Old Zhou lightly before clearing her throat: "Didn't you say you were going to a new world where everything was unknown? You might as well pray to the gods and ask them to bless you so you can encounter a good world?"

A look of emotion appeared on Zhou Feng's face.

Although Ms. Li's language can be quite aggressive, her maternal love for him over the years has never faded.

"Why are you doing all that? Do you think I'm doing this for you? I'm afraid you'll get into some really dangerous situation and end up killing me and your dad."

Zhou Feng, whose face was still etched with gratitude, watched helplessly as Ms. Li tried to save face, with only one thought in his mind.

Goodness, being arrogant is so outdated. Just say what you mean.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Feng and his group reported the existence of listening devices in their homes to their superiors, which enraged the Grand Elder, that forces with designs on them were hesitant to act rashly.

Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang were also happy to be relieved. Otherwise, if the other party really gritted their teeth and sent more people over, the two of them might not have been able to stop Zhou Feng's family.

The next morning, Ms. Li barged into Zhou Feng's bedroom and yelled at him, waking him up.

To be honest, Zhou Feng has a really bad temper when he wakes up. But it depends on who he's talking to. When it's his mother, he has to hold back his temper no matter how bad it is, or she'll really slap him across the face!

Just before leaving, the family's attitude toward the temple they were going to visit changed again.

Logically speaking, people of Zhou Feng's generation should have been exposed to breaking down feudal superstitions and not believing in such things.

But his ability to pass through doors allows him to travel to various worlds!

If something this absurd has happened, then the existence of a god isn't so unbelievable after all.

So when they arrived at the temple entrance, the group inexplicably felt a sense of awe towards the gods inside.

Ms. Li even bought the most expensive incense and knelt sincerely in the main hall to pray for Zhou Feng.

After a while, Ms. Li changed her posture, muttering something under her breath. Zhou Feng and the others could only stand behind and watch.

After Ms. Li finished the entire process and came out of the main hall, Zhou Feng approached her and asked, "Mom, what did you wish for at the temple? Don't make it too big. If it comes true, you'll have to fulfill your vow. The bigger the wish, the greater the obligation to fulfill it."

"Don't worry, what kind of wish could I make? I just wished for your safety in daily life, and then asked the gods to check on your and Yaoyao's compatibility."

"how?"

"You can't tell, you can't tell! If you tell, it won't work!"

Seeing Ms. Li's grin that almost stretched to the back of her head, Zhou Feng and Lao Zhou exchanged a helpless glance, shook their heads, and sighed.

Judging from her expression, Ms. Li must have had a good talk with her superiors, and her needs were met.

Tao Muyao, standing to the side, blushed and pretended not to hear what the Zhou family members were saying. How could they do such a thing?

You family members should just say what you want to say, why drag her into this?

In addition, Ms. Li's gaze was so intensely fixed on a certain part of Tao Muyao's back that it made her extremely uncomfortable.

What does it mean to have a big butt and give birth to a son?

I don't know who spread this nonsense, it's so embarrassing!

"Alright, Mom, now that we've finished paying our respects, let's go."

Zhou Feng hesitated outside the shop for a long time before finally deciding not to go in and make a wish.

He already has a cheat code, and while he's not very bold, he has a wildly imaginative mind...

If the gods discover his secret of having two passages when he prays, then he's doomed!

So the family drove down the mountain again. On the way back, Zhou Feng's phone suddenly rang. After answering it, he looked at his family in the car with a slightly apologetic expression.

"Mom, there's something urgent in the organization that requires me to return to Beiping immediately. You all..."

"It's alright, go ahead, just be careful."

Ms. Li gently reached out and helped Zhou Feng straighten his collar.

In this world, the only person who truly cares about whether you're tired from flying is your mother.
