“What? Brother Chao, did you say we’re going back to Jingdu today?” Jiang Li, who was having breakfast, looked surprised as she gazed at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao quickly chewed his food, swallowed, and replied, “Hmm, going back for some business! Why don’t you come with me, and we can return to Modu after we’re done!”

“What’s the reason for going back to Jingdu?”

“Nothing much, just got a call from your dad, asking us to come back for a visit. He didn’t say much, and besides, we’re not too busy these days. Let’s go check it out!” Jiang Li didn’t dwell on Zhou Chao’s explanation and nodded, continuing to eat.

Zhou Chao looked at the faintly mysterious smile on Jiang Li’s face, but it quickly vanished.

*Ding Dong!*

Zhou Chao glanced at his phone on the table and saw a message from Lin Wu. After a brief look, he put it back.

“What’s up, Brother Chao?” Jiang Li, puzzled by Zhou Chao’s actions, looked at him.

“Nothing, just verifying the plane ticket 1 arranged with him earlier. He sent me a confirmation message.”

“Oh! After finishing breakfast, the two of them changed into their clothes. Jiang Li packed a small suitcase and hurriedly followed Zhou Chao out the door.

“Boss, are you sure you don’t need me to go to Jingdu with you?” Lin Wu asked as he took the luggage from the trunk at the Hongqiao Airport parking lot, looking at Zhou Chao and Jiang Li.

“Why would you come with me? I’ve already arranged a job for you. Go and check on it!”

“Alright, Boss!” Zhou Chao took out a piece of paper from his pocket and quietly handed it to Lin Wu. Then he held Jiang Li’s hand and walked towards the airport.

As they walked away, Lin Wu opened the paper and found it was the invoice for the custom-made DR diamond ring that Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had ordered earlier. Thinking about the text message his boss sent him that morning, he pondered for a moment before getting into his car and leaving Hongqiao.

When Zhou Chao and Jiang Li landed at Jingdu International Airport, it was already 12:30 noon. Since Zhou Chao hadn’t arranged for a car for them after their arrival at Fuxing, the two of them hailed a taxi directly to their riverside villa!”

“Brother Chao, are we going back tomorrow?”

“Yeah, we’ll buy some things before heading back.”

“Yes, please go ahead and clean thoroughly inside and out.” Zhou Chao’s words were barely out when the cleaning team got to work, and Jiang Li had come downstairs by this time.

“You came down just in time. Let’s go have lunch and give Shoufu a bath on the way!”

“Sure!” She had changed into sportswear, looking youthful and lively.

Zhou Chao put Shoufu, who had been lying on the sofa, into a pet carrier backpack and wore it on his back.

“Xiao Liu, please look after things here!”

“Mr. Zhou, this is what I should do!” Xiao Liu suddenly found herself a bit flustered after Zhou Chao’s gentle words.

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile at her reaction but didn’t say anything. He and Jiang Li walked out.

After they left, Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had just graduated from university and was a bit nervous about managing properties for wealthy individuals.

“You really scared her just now!” Jiang Li said to Zhou Chao with a smile as they walked out.

“Noway!”

“Yes, you did!”

The laughter of the two attracted the attention of passersby, and even an elderly man playing chess by the canal couldn’t help but sigh, “Youth is a wonderful thing!”

The pet store wasn’t far away, and they arrived shortly. The staff there were familiar faces. Zhou Chao handed Shoufu and the pet carrier backpack to the staff and briefly explained the situation. Then, he and Jiang Li walked out of the pet store.

“It’s already 2 o’clock. Let’s grab something to eat casually for now. We can have a nice dinner tonight!” Zhou Chao glanced at his watch and then turned to Jiang Li beside him.

“Sure, we can eat whatever you want!”

“You always say the sweetest things!” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s cute nose and said with a playful smile.

“Haha, you pinched my nose again! You’re in trouble now!” Jiang Li laughed and pounced on Zhou Chao. He quickly turned around, letting Jiang Li land on his back, and she ended up sprawled over him.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Chao carried Jiang Li on his back and walked ahead.

Jiang Li, lying on Zhou Chao’s back, hugged his neck with her hands, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered softly in his ear, “Happy Children’s Day..”
