“Brother Chao, wake up quickly! You still need to go to the company today!”

Zhou Chao, who was sleep asleep, was abruptly awakened by Jiang Li.

“Wifey, what’s going on? It’s just dawn! Can’t you let me sleep a bit more?”

“Humph, didn’t you say yesterday that 1 should go to work? Are you going to change your mind today?” Jiang Li stood with her hands on her hips, a hint of annoyance on her face as she looked at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao grabbed his phone from the side, turned on the screen, and held it up to Jiang Li. “Wifey, what kind of job are you going to do on a weekend like this? Don’t you have to wait until Monday to go to work?”

“All… weekends are for not working, right?”

“Well, even if some people are working, it’s only a few who are on duty. Almost everyone gets weekends off.”

“Uh… then you can sleep a little longer!” Jiang Li stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit embarrassed, and ran out of the bedroom, her face slightly flushed.

“This little lady!” After Jiang Li’s little outburst, Zhou Chao lost his desire to sleep. He got up, changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and decided to go to the gym for a workout. After all, he needed to regain the dignity that he had lost from yesterday’s humiliation. Of course, that would require being in good physical shape!

“Brother Chao, it’s time for breakfast!” After about an hour of working out in the gym, Zhou Chao heard Jiang Li calling him.

He stopped the exercise, wiped off his sweat with a towel, and walked out of the gym to see several dishes and a bowl of congee on the dining table.

“I’ll take a shower first, you can start eating!” He said before heading to the bathroom.

Jiang Li watched Zhou Chao, who was eating with gusto, and asked with a smile, “Brother Chao, do you have any plans for today?”

“Mmm… nothing much. 1 plan to stay at home, read some books, and play some games!”

“Hehe, can I play League of Legends later?”

“Sure, you can play later. 1’11 read a book!” Zhou Chao agreed.

“Great!” Feeling Excited, Jiang Li nodded.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Li tossed her chopsticks aside and hurried upstairs to the study, saying, “Hubby, remember to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. Don’t disturb me unless it’s necessary!”

Watching Jiang Li’s departing figure, Zhou Chao shook his head with a helpless smile. “Ah, I shouldn’t have taught her to play games in the first place. 1 dug my own grave!”

In less than 10 minutes, Jiang Li came out with a tray filled with several dishes!

Seeing that most of the dishes remained untouched, Zhou Chao could tell that Jiang Li had been waiting for him and hadn’t eaten.

“Silly girl, if you’re hungry, just eat. You don’t have to wait for me to eat together. If you starve yourself like this, I’ll feel guilty!”

“It’s okay!”

Seeing Jiang Li’s radiant smile, Zhou Chao seemed to have found a reason to work hard and strive for success!

“Sit down and let’s eat together!”

“Okay.”

The two of them sat on the terrace, feeding each other and sharing their meal openly. Fortunately, there was no one else around, or they might not have tolerated their lovey-dovey act!

After finishing their meal, Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li and said, “This won’t happen again. From now on, we’ll eat on time. If you go hungry again, I’ll deal with you!”

“Hmm, it’s anyone’s guess who’s going to come out on top. I recall someone telling me he needed to take a break a few days ago!” Jiang Li responded in a playful tone, casting a mischievous smile at Zhou Chao. Thankfully, Zhou Chao had grown quite resilient!

“Next time there’s a chance, let’s see who’s the boss!”

As the saying goes, “You may lose the battle but not the war.” Although he knew he couldn’t beat Jiang Li at many things, he wouldn’t admit defeat!

“Don’t talk about ‘next time’. How about right now?”

“Are you implying that I’m afraid of you?” Zhou Chao, who was feeling quite bold now, refused to back down.

“Is it for real? You’re not just teasing me, are you?”

“It’s absolutely real!”

“In that case, come with me!” Jiang Li said as she tried to take Zhou Chao’s hand.

“Ahem, ahem. 1 still have some studying to do in the afternoon… uh, let’s do this another time. I promise next time, you won’t be able to escape!”

“Hahaha! 1 don’t believe you! You sly man!” Jiang Li’s laughter, like tinkling bells, left Zhou Chao feeling even more defeated!

“Alright, go ahead and play. 1’11 get back to my reading.”

“Okay, got it!”

Watching Jiang Li’s departing figure, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.. “1 need to exercise some restraint from now on!”
