When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Chen Yang reached out and pressed the answer button.

"Boss, the perimeter security has been upgraded to a red alert."

"understood."

Chen Yang hung up the phone, turned around and tucked Katyusha in, then walked to the balcony and stood there for a while. Snowflakes hit the bulletproof glass, making a soft, shattering sound.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the calendar turned to December.

As the Siberian cold front swept south, temperatures in Linhai County plummeted to minus forty degrees Celsius. Highways were completely shut down, all flights to and from the port were canceled, and the streets were deserted. The wind whipped up snow that pounded against the windows with a loud clanging sound.

Katyusha sat by the French windows in her bedroom, poking her finger into the cold glass. The snow outside was already half a person high, and even the driveway she usually drove through was completely buried.

Chen Yang brought over a cup of hot milk and placed it on the low table next to her.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"I'm so bored, I haven't been out in ages."

"It's too cold outside, let's wait until it's warmer before going out."

Katyusha didn't respond. She rested her head against the glass, staring blankly at the howling wind and snow outside.

Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, a light blue system panel suddenly popped up in front of him.

[The second phase of the "Spoiling Your Wife" mission has been triggered, and the reward is: a complete set of prototype equipment for a controllable ecological microcirculation system + an installation manual]

The panel is densely filled with equipment parameters. This system can simulate any climate environment in a closed space, with fully intelligent adjustment of temperature, humidity and light. Its energy consumption is only one-tenth of that of a regular central temperature control system, and it is compatible with any enclosed dome structure.

Chen Yang recalled the unused high-reverse bulletproof dome behind the villa, which was originally intended to be used to park a private fleet of aircraft, but now it was perfect to transform it into an ecological garden.

He picked up the internal phone and dialed Chen Yue.

"You need to bring a 100-person engineering team over now, along with all the heavy installation equipment, and have them assemble at the dome on the back mountain."

Chen Yue on the other end of the phone was stunned.

"Construction crew? It's minus forty degrees outside, all infrastructure projects have stopped, what are you trying to do?"

"Contact the National Infrastructure Group, which we previously cooperated with. Pay three times the wages, and the person must arrive within forty minutes. If they are even one minute late, they will not be able to take on the subsequent infrastructure projects worth 50 billion."

"Alright, alright, I'll arrange it right away."

Chen Yue hung up the phone and immediately called the boss of Guoji Construction. When the boss heard that the wages were tripled and that it was related to the subsequent 50 billion yuan project, he immediately decided to transfer people. Even the workers who were on vacation were called back. In less than 40 minutes, a 100-person engineering team with a full set of equipment arrived at the entrance of the dome.

Lei Zi led the security team to guard the perimeter of the dome, setting up three layers of cordon, and prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from approaching.

Chen Yang tossed the printed installation manual to the foreman of the construction team.

"Can you assemble and debug this equipment within three hours?"

The foreman flipped through the manual in his hand, then looked at the brand-new equipment piled up next to him, and sweat instantly poured down his forehead.

"Mr. Chen, this equipment is too complex. Three hours? It took us a whole day to install a regular central air conditioning system!"

"If you finish installing it within four hours, each person will receive an extra 100,000 yuan bonus. If you fail to finish, all future collaborations between your group and Snow Palace will be terminated."

The foreman gritted his teeth, turned around and waved to the construction team. Everyone immediately unloaded the equipment and entered the site. There wasn't even time to drink water. The entire dome was filled with the sounds of equipment installation.

Chen Yue, wrapped in a thick down jacket, stood next to Chen Yang, stamping her feet to keep warm.

"Dude, what are you trying to do? Can't we just use this dome to park planes? Why are you installing this weird equipment?"

"Give Katyusha the whole garden."

Chen Yue almost choked on her own saliva and reached out to tug at Chen Yang's sleeve.

"Garden? It's minus forty degrees outside? Are you crazy? What kind of flower can survive in this weather? The orchid I bought a few days ago froze solid in half an hour after I put it in the hallway."

You'll find out soon enough.

Chen Yang ignored her and stood by watching the construction progress. Time passed by, and at three hours and fifty-eight minutes, the foreman ran out covered in sweat. The snow on his hat melted and dripped down his face.

"Mr. Chen! It's installed and tested! Please come in and take a look!"

Chen Yang stepped into the dome, with Chen Yue following behind. As soon as they opened the door, a wave of warmth rushed towards them. Chen Yue subconsciously unbuttoned her down jacket. She had been dressed warmly outside and felt cold, but now she actually felt warm.

The temperature control panel on the dome was lit up, clearly displaying 25 degrees Celsius, and the air was filled with the moist scent of grass and trees.

The high-end tulips, rare orchids, bird of paradise, and various tropical plants that were delivered in advance are now all swaying with their leaves, blooming in full glory, with even the morning dew still clinging to the petals. A small artificial fountain in the corner is spraying a fine stream, and the entire dome is a scene of springtime.

Chen Yue reached out and touched the leaves of the bird of paradise plant next to her. The leaves were warm and alive.

"My God... how is this possible? These flowers were in a freezer at minus twenty degrees Celsius just three hours ago! They were rock hard when they were delivered!"

"This system can simulate a tropical climate, with intelligent regulation of temperature, humidity, and light, so of course the flowers can survive."

Chen Yang ignored her, turned around and went back to the villa, then knocked on the bedroom door.

"Katyusha, change into something lighter. I'll take you somewhere."

Katyusha said "oh," changed into a beige silk bathrobe, and walked barefoot in fluffy slippers with Chen Yang toward the back mountain.

Katyusha stopped in her tracks as soon as she pushed open the domed door.

The blizzard outside was still pounding against the bulletproof glass of the dome. The howling wind came through the glass, but not a bit of cold air could get in.

Inside, the tulips were in full bloom, their colors vibrant and beautiful. The fragrance of orchids filled the entire dome, the leaves of the tropical banana trees shone brightly green, and the fountain's trickling water cascaded into the pool, making a tinkling sound.

"this……"

"You said you wanted to go to the Netherlands to see tulips, but now you don't need to go, we have them at home."

Chen Yang turned and gave a look to the maid next to him. The maid quickly brought over an easel and a full set of paints and placed them in the open space in the middle of the flower field.

"You said you wanted to draw a few days ago, so draw here."

Katyusha walked over, picked up the palette, mixed a bright yellow paint, and placed the tip of her brush on the clean white paper.

Chen Yang stood to the side watching, reaching out to touch the tulip petals beside him; the temperature was just right.

Chen Yue stood at the entrance of the dome, looking at the scene inside, then glanced back at the howling blizzard outside. She took out her communicator and sent a message to the group's technology department, asking them to immediately send their top R&D team to assess the mass production feasibility of this ecosystem. If it could be mass-produced and launched to the market, it could capture at least 80 percent of the global temperature control market.

Lei Zi stood in the security team, looking at the scene inside the dome, and turned to give instructions to his subordinates.

"From now on, the security level of this dome will be raised to the highest level. No one is allowed to enter except the boss and his wife, not even birds."

The subordinate nodded in agreement and immediately went to adjust the security deployment.

Katyusha made a few strokes, looked up at Chen Yang standing next to her, then looked down again and added a little figure in a black suit in the corner of the drawing paper.

The bright yellow paint on the brush tip didn't stay on the paper and dripped down, spreading into a small, round patch. Suddenly, a fierce wind howled outside the dome, and a rolled-up steel plate slammed into the bulletproof glass with a deafening sound.
