Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Hey, hubby, why aren’t you at home?”

“I’m out doing something. I’ll be back soon!” Zhou Chao suddenly realized it was already 6 o’clock in the evening, and he had been at Huazhou Juntian for several hours without even noticing it.

After admiring the luxurious and spacious villa, Zhou Chao took his keys and headed out.

By the time he arrived home, Jiang Li had already prepared dinner.

As he walked through the front door, Jiang Li noticed Zhou Chao’s excitement and curiously asked, “Hubby, what’s got you so happy?”

“Hehe, 1 won’t tell you just yet. I’ll give you a surprise tomorrow. By the way, have you finalized your plans? When are you leaving?”

“We’ve already finalized everything. We’ll leave early the day after tomorrow, and it’s expected to take about half a month.”

“Alright. Give me a call if you need anything.”

“I will. Let’s eat quickly; the food will get cold!” Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Zhou Chao’s slightly excited heart settled down, and he returned to his usual self.

After dinner, Zhou Chao cleaned up the kitchen, and the two of them returned to the bedroom. Perhaps because they had played so wildly the night before, neither of them had much enthusiasm today. They both lay in bed, scrolling through short videos on their phones.

A quiet night passed by without much conversation.

The next morning, Zhou Chao woke Jiang Li up early.

“Hubby, let me sleep a little longer. It’s rare to have a rest today. 1 want to become one with the bed!”

Seeing Jiang Li tightly clutching the blanket, Zhou Chao helplessly said, “Didn’t I promise to give you a surprise? Do you want to see it or not?”

“Is it real? I’ll get up right away!”

As soon as she heard it was a surprise, Jiang Li, who had lost all desire to sleep, jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Seeing Jiang Li’s excited appearance, Zhou Chao chuckled and took a deep breath. “Why do you still act like a child?”

Unexpectedly, while Jiang Li was washing up in the bathroom, she heard Zhou Chao muttering to himself. She poked her head out, brushing her teeth, and mumbled incoherently, “I’m only 18, brother-”

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Zhou Chao shuddered, especially at the mention of ‘brother,’ which tickled him.

After both of them finished freshening up and changed into matching couple outfits, they skipped breakfast. Zhou Chao then took Jiang Li and they hopped into the Lamborghini Veneno, driving out of the underground garage.

“Where are we going?” Jiang Li looked outside as the tall buildings gradually decreased, feeling a bit curious.

“You’ll find out in a moment!” Zhou Chao wore a mysterious expression on his face, making Jiang Li want to playfully punch him.

“Hmph, hubby, haven’t you realized that the way you’re acting makes me want to punch you right now?” Jiang Li playfully made a fist at him, and Zhou Chao couldn’t help but laugh along with her.

“Wait a moment, and you’ll find out!”

Soon, the car arrived at Yin Xilu. Jiang Li looked at the rows of colorful detached villas on both sides of the road, each with its unique style, and she was momentarily mesmerized.

This time, Zhou Chao smoothly entered Huazhou Juntian, and in no time, they reached their luxurious villa.

As Jiang Li got out of the car, she saw a European-style villa with a huge open lawn, garden, and a private swimming pool!

“Honey, this can’t be the surprise you mentioned, can it?” Jiang Li couldn’t believe her eyes. After all, this villa was estimated to be at least over 1,000 square meters, not to mention its other features. This house must have cost several billion!

“The inside will surprise you more. Come on, let’s go in and take a look!” Zhou Chao took Jiang Li’s hand and led her towards the villa.

“Wow, this is so beautiful!” As soon as they entered, Jiang Li was captivated by the luxurious interior. She looked at the oversized chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Zhou Chao turned on the lights, making the entire first floor look magnificent.

“How do you like it?”

“I love it!” Jiang Li nodded enthusiastically and began her tour of the villa, with Zhou Chao accompanying her.

The luxurious European-style decoration exuded a classical, grand, and dignified atmosphere, and Jiang Li was momentarily lost in it.

“We’ll live here in the future. How about that?”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled, but soon dimmed.

“But 1 have to be busy for a while before I can come back!” Looking at Jiang Li pouting, Zhou Chao smiled and gently sealed her lips with his own.

After a while, Zhou Chao released Jiang Li, who had already turned red. He smiled and said, “Then when my lovely wife comes back, we’ll move in!” “Really?” Jiang Li, who had been sulking, suddenly looked excited.

“Of course, because my wife is the cutest!” Zhou Chao said, pinching Jiang Li’s cute nose.

“Hmph, 1 told you not to pinch my nose. I’m angry! But I’ll forgive you this time!” Looking at Jiang Li’s girlish appearance, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

The two of them stayed in the luxurious mansion for several hours, until Jiang Li’s stomach growled. Zhou Chao then drove her to a nearby restaurant for a simple meal before heading back home.

“All, 1 don’t want to move. I just want to lie here!” As soon as they returned home, Jiang Li sprawled on the sofa.

“Aren’t you going to pack your luggage? We’re leaving tomorrow!”

Jiang Li heard his words and sat up from the sofa, cuddling Zhou Chao’s arm and acting coy.

“Honey, could you help me pack, please?”

Feeling the softness beneath that thin outfit, Zhou Chao couldn’t resist the tenderness. They cuddled for a while before Zhou Chao finally pulled Jiang Li upstairs to pack her luggage.

“Pack the sunscreen, don’t forget the hat, and choose mostly sportswear for clothes, it’s more convenient. And also pack suitable shoes!” Zhou Chao filled Jiang Li’s suitcase with everything he could think of, and soon the luggage was packed to the brim.

“Hubby, I’m not going on a vacation, why do I need so many clothes?”

“For changing and laundry. You might think fieldwork is a breeze, but you’ll need to get the hang of managing things independently. Don’t attempt to handle everything by yourself…”

Jiang Li watched Zhou Chao, who was talking like an old man, without saying a word. She propped her head up with her small hand and looked at him with a happy smile.

As Zhou Chao continued chattering, he noticed that Jiang Li had stopped talking and looked up at her.

“Hey, are you making fun of me, little lady?”

“Honey, 1 love you!” Jiang Li took the initiative to cradle Zhou Chao’s head and kissed him. Zhou Chao immediately turned into a wolf and pounced on Jiang Li, eventually conquering her with his affection.

The day passed like this, and the next morning, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li both woke up early. Originally, Lin Wu had called to offer to pick up Jiang Li, but Zhou Chao declined and asked Lin Wu to go directly to the airport to wait, as he would personally escort Jiang Li to the airport.

When Zhou Chao arrived at Hongqiao Airport, it was already 9:30 in the morning. He saw Lin Wu and his six men waiting at the airport entrance.

Seeing Zhou Chao leading Jiang Li towards them, Lin Wu and the others quickly approached.

“Boss!” Their call attracted the attention of passersby.

“All right, it’s getting late. 1 won’t take up any more of your time. Just two points: first, ensure Jiang Li’s safety, stay away from dangerous places. Second, when you come back, 1’11 treat you to a meal!”

Hearing their boss’s invitation to dinner, the faces of Lin Wu and his men lit up with smiles. They enthusiastically shouted, “Thank you, Boss!”

“Let’s go!” Lin Wu’s bodyguards behind him took Jiang Li’s suitcase, and Zhou Chao watched as they walked into the airport. Only when he couldn’t see them anymore did he turn and leave..
