Married a Secret Billionaire

On this rainy day, a rare moment of coolness, Zuko and Lina found themselves huddled in their room, engaging in various activities like painting, reading, and playing chess, thoroughly enjoying each other’s company.

“Zuko, my parents mentioned that they’re planning to go back soon,” Lina shared.

“What?” Zuko exclaimed, taken aback. “Why so suddenly?”

“It’s not sudden!” Lina smiled mischievously, making a strategic move with a black chess piece. “Looks like I’m going to win!”

Zuko chuckled and surrendered, playing along.

“What I mean is, why can’t they stay a few more days? There are still so many places in Centrolis they haven’t visited yet.”

“Well… maybe they feel they’ve already stayed long enough, and they still have the supermarket to take care of,” Zuko replied, his gaze dimming slightly. His expression became somewhat complex. He set the chessboard aside and led Lina to the bookshelf, retrieving a photo album.

Curiosity sparked within Lina.

In a gentle voice, Zuko said, “Since we’ve come this far in our relationship… I shouldn’t have any secrets from you.”

“So, are you going to show me your childhood photos?” Lina asked playfully.
