Chapter 371: Barbecue on the Beach

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Wow, I’m completely worn out! It’s hard to believe that just doing a photoshoot for the wedding is this draining. If getting married is even more exhausting, 1 can’t even begin to imagine it!” Once they got back to the seaside villa, Jiang Li collapsed onto the bed.

Today was indeed quite exhausting. They had been shooting for a total of six hours, exploring all the beautiful spots on Lanai Island.

After finally finishing the photoshoot, they even took some personal artistic shots, and Jiang Li’s figure was deemed the most perfect. By the time they returned to the seaside villa, it was already past five in the afternoon.

“If you find it exhausting, we can always have a simple wedding with just our families and a few friends in a picturesque location!”

“Sure, we could even skip the wedding and go on our honeymoon directly. After all, you’re already mine!” Jiang Li sat up from the bed, put her arm around Zhou Chao, and rested her head on his shoulder.

“But what about the grand wedding I promised you before?”

“It doesn’t matter to me. 1 just want to explore the world with you!”

Seeing Jiang Li’s determined and sincere gaze, Zhou Chao nodded.

“All right, then. Let’s plan a global journey, flying in our own plane, and exploring the world together. By the way, Ah Li, do you remember what I mentioned last time?”

“What did you mention?”

“I was talking about having a ranch by Lake Baikal.”

“I remember! What’s up?”

“I do have a large ranch by Lake Baikal, you know. Whenever we have some free time, our first destination should be there. How does that sound?”

“Really?!” Jiang Li immediately stood up.

“Of course!”

“Husband, I love you!” Saying that, she pounced on Zhou Chao and tumbled onto the bed with him.

The two of them rolled around on the bed.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Just as Zhou Chao was about to launch his assault, the phone rang.

“Who’s this? It’s quite a buzzkill!” Zhou Chao answered the phone without much enthusiasm, only to find out it was Big Bro Li calling.

“Hello, Big Bro. What’s up?”

“Isn’t it mealtime now? Where are you and Jiang Li? Aren’t you eating?”

Is that why you called?”

“Yes, why else would 1 call you?” Li Yang on the other end of the phone sounded a bit confused. Could there be something else going on?

With a somewhat annoyed glance at his phone and a smirk at Jiang Li, Zhou

Chao said, “Where are you guys having dinner? I’ll come over.”

“We’re having a barbecue right here at the seaside villa. Just head out and walk a bit, there’s a quite spacious wooden cabin over here. Come quickly, we can watch the sunset later, enjoy some barbecue, have drinks, and stargaze at night. Doesn’t it sound delightful?”

“Got it, I’ll be right there!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li, who was leaning against him, with a mischievous smile.

“Let’s go. Since they’ve called, I’m afraid they’ll keep calling until we show up!”

“Blame your charisma for this!”

Without even changing their clothes, the two of them left and headed straight to the designated place.

When Zhou Chao and Jiang Li arrived, everyone was already eating!

“1 plan to prepare to return to Modu the day after tomorrow!” Just when everyone was having a great time drinking, Zhou Chao put down his wine glass and spoke.

Li Yang, Si Cong, and the others were all surprised, and they put down their glasses to look at him.

“Is it because of something happening at the company?” Li Yang asked.

No, I’m not entirely comfortable here. It’s different from back in China where 1 feel more at ease. You know, the moon back home looks rounder!”

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

“Bro, why is the moon in China rounder than overseas?” Guo Yan asked naively while holding a skewer.

“The moon is rounder in one’s hometown!”

“Oh!” Guo Yan nodded as if she understood.

Seeing Guo Yan’s innocent look, Zhou Chao gently touched her head.

“Come on, let’s continue drinking!”

For a while, the entire beach was filled with laughter and chatter.

Time quickly passed, and it was already midnight. Jiang Li, Shen Lan, and the others had returned to the seaside villa because they were too tired.

“We’ve had enough to drink, and it’s almost dawn. Let’s call it a night. I’ll arrange for someone to clean up here tomorrow!” Zhou Chao announced as he noticed the late hour.

“Oh, it’s already midnight. It’s late. Let’s all go back. We can have a proper drink when we’re back in the country!” Li Yang checked his watch and realized it was already early morning.

“Come on, let’s have one last drink and then rest!” Seeing Zhou Chao raise his glass, everyone picked up their glasses and drank to the last drop.

Watching everyone leave somewhat unsteadily, Zhou Chao sent a message to Miles about cleaning up the trash and then headed back to the villa.

“Yawn!” Zhou Chao, who was still half-asleep, felt his nose itch and couldn’t help but sneeze.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that Jiang Li was looking at him with a mischievous smile. He noticed the hair she was holding and instantly knew that she was up to something.

“Ah-” Before Jiang Li could react, Zhou Chao pulled her into a hug and pressed her against him.

“Brother Chao, why are you sleeping on the couch? If I hadn’t woken up and found you weren’t in bed, I wouldn’t have known you were sleeping on the couch!”

“It’s because we came back so late last night, and you were sleeping so soundly that 1 didn’t want to disturb you.”

“I love you, my husband!”

So, how should I reward you then?”

Jiang Li blushed and playfully punched Zhou Chao’s chest. She whispered, “You can choose whatever you like.”

Is that so?” Zhou Chao had a mischievous grin and whispered softly in Jiang Li’s ear.

“Pfft!” Jiang Li blushed even more, her ears turning red as well.

“Well, if you’re notwilling, forget it!” Zhou Chao pretended to look disappointed and let out a deep sigh.

“We’ll satisfy your desires when we get back to China!” Jiang Li said and then quickly ran into the bedroom.

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Zhou Chao smirked and watched her shyly retreat.

Seeing the bashful Jiang Li run off, Zhou Chao smiled and got up from the couch. He stretched his body and headed to the bathroom for a quick wash.

When Zhou Chao came out, he found that Jiang Li had already changed into a different outfit and was sitting on the couch.

“We’re planning to return to China tomorrow. Is there anywhere you’d like to go today?”

“We’ve pretty much covered the whole of Lanai Island, and there aren’t many places we haven’t been. How about a walk by the beach?”

“Sure, today you can be the tour guide!”

In that case, please follow the footsteps of your tour guide!” Jiang Li immediately transformed into a guide and led Zhou Chao out the door..
