Soon, Zhou Chao walked out carrying two bags, and at the same time, Jiang Li also walked out with one bag.

Zhou Chao handed a bag containing a bottle of red wine to Jiang Yang and another bag containing two bottles of red wine and a bottle of Maotai to Li Daoming.

“By the way, Uncle Li, there’s some tea in here as well. You know my place has plenty of tea, so don’t hesitate to take it,” Zhou Chao said, sealing off any objections.

Seeing that Zhou Chao had the last word, Li Daoming could only accept it.

At this moment, the others finally noticed Jiang Li, and there was a hint of admiration in their eyes, but that was about it.

“This is my wife, Jiang Li.”

Then he introduced Li Daoming and the other two to Jiang Li.

“Uncle Li, Uncle Jiang.” As for Jiang Yang, Jiang Li simply nodded.

When Jiang Hai heard Jiang Li’s address, he quickly said, “No need, no need!”

Zhou Chao also understood Jiang Hai’s thoughts and smiled, shaking his head.

“Xiao Chao, we won’t bother you any longer, we’ll be leaving now!”

“Alright, feel free to come and visit whenever you have time!” Zhou Chao sent the three of them out of the villa and then turned his gaze to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, who was in a playful mood, greeted Zhou Chao, “Big Bad Wolf, come catch me!” Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Seeing the playful Jiang Li, Zhou Chao roared and ran towards her, and the two of them had a great time playing in the garden.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Li began going to work. Zhou Chao usually stayed at home alone, playing games, browsing a certain app, and watching live streams every day. It’s worth mentioning that he had reached the Master rank in the League of Legends, just a step away from entering the Challenger tier.

When Zhou Chao got out of bed, it was almost n in the morning.

“Ah, 1 feel like I’ve become a bit lazy lately, staying at home every day. Sooner or later, I’ll turn into a shut-in. I need to find something to do!” While contemplating his life, he took out two ribeye steaks from the fridge.

He prepared two simple, well-done steaks. Perhaps it was an old habit, but he had never gotten used to anything less than well-done. He also squeezed a glass of fresh watermelon juice for himself.

He devoured the two steaks in less than 10 minutes and still felt unsatisfied. He could only grab some of Jiang Li’s secret stash of snacks to fill his stomach.

By June, the taste of summer had already arrived in Fog City. The air carried a hint of heat.

Looking at the sun high in the sky and the large swimming pool in the garden, Zhou Chao had an idea and headed upstairs.

The pool had just been cleaned yesterday, as agreed with the property management, who took care of the villa’s cleanliness and the pool twice a week, among other things.

In no time, Zhou Chao had changed into his swim trunks and grabbed some ice cubes from the fridge, making a big jug of fruit juice for himself. He then headed to the garden with his refreshments.

The pool area was well-equipped, and Zhou Chao placed his belongings on the table under the shade. After a little warm-up, he dived into the water.

Though his pose looked handsome, his swimming skills left much to be desired. No one had taught him how to swim before, and he was using the doggy paddle style he had learned in his previous life. After splashing around in the pool for quite a while, he finally got out of the water.

“I feel like I’m about to drown. Thank goodness it’s my own pool!” He chuckled as he lay on a sun lounger.

Zhou Chao thought about how well he used to dive and realized that without the proper equipment, he could only show his true colors now.

As Zhou Chao contemplated the mysterious timing of his newfound skill, he decided to open his system. Just as he was about to check in, something suddenly struck him.

“This is a bit superstitious!” Zhou Chao walked to the edge of the pool and washed his hands.

“System check-in!”

“What did you do today? Why are you so tired?”

“Didn’t do much, just swam for about two hours and held my breath underwater for about 20 minutes at the pool.” Zhou Chao pinched his forehead and said calmly.

“Held your breath for 20 minutes? What if something happened to you? You can’t do such silly things in the future!” Jiang Li quickly sat down next to Zhou Chao and began checking him.

“It’s fine, don’t worry. Your husband is in good shape!” Zhou Chao reassured her and patted his chest a few times.

“Are you silly? Just say it, no need to hit yourself!”

“I was just showing you how well my body is!” Zhou Chao then embraced Jiang Li.

“Alright, you rest for a while. 1’11 take care of dinner!”

“You’re going to cook?” Zhou Chao was a bit surprised.

Of course not, I’ll order takeout. 1 found a great little restaurant; you’ll love it for sure!” She said confidently, shaking her phone in her hand.

“Okay, 1 trust your judgment!” Zhou Chao smiled and reclined on the sofa again, returning to scrolling through his social media.

Time flew by as he browsed through his social media, and it felt like no time had passed when the doorbell rang.

“Brother Chao, the delivery’s here. Could you get it?” Jiang Li called from upstairs.

“Got it!” Zhou Chao strolled over to answer the door.

Upon opening the door, Zhou Chao found two members of the property management team and a sightseeing van parked in front of his house.

Mr. Zhou, here’s your takeout. Enjoy your meal!” Zhou Chao accepted the delivery from the property staff with gratitude for their respectful attitude.

“Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome!” Zhou Chao nodded and closed the door.

“Since when did property management start competing with food delivery?”

He walked back into the house with two large bags and began unpacking the food boxes.

“Wifey, it’s time to eat!”

“I’m coming down! Don’t open anything until 1 get there!” Zhou Chao, who was about to dig in, paused.

After a while, Zhou Chao heard Jiang Li’s footsteps coming down the stairs.

“You didn’t peek, did you?”

“What’s there to peek at?” Zhou Chao scoffed, but his eyes were fixed on the boxes on the table.

“Dang, dang, dang!” Jiang Li quickly opened several boxes, revealing Fog City’s signature dishes.

Zhou Chao looked at the dishes in front of him, ruffled Jiang Li’s hair gently, and said, “You went through all this trouble!”

“Hehe, let’s eat quickly and see if it tastes like home!”

“Yes, let’s eat together!”

The two of them enjoyed their meal heartily. With each bite, Jiang Li started to sweat a little.

“Mmm, it’s so delicious, a bit spicy, but it gets better with every bite!”

Is it as good as what your husband makes? Next time, I’ll treat you to some authentic Jianghu cuisine!”

“Love you!” Jiang Li blushed and playfully made a heart shape with her hands for Zhou Chao..
