“Ding dong!”

“Coming.” Zhou Chao got up and headed towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw several security guards from The Palms Residence standing at the entrance, with Lin Wu standing beside them. There were many boxes and cat food by his feet, and just by looking at the situation, Zhou Chao knew that Lin Wu had recruited several strong men to help with the move.

“How much cat food and supplies did you buy for Shoufu?”

Not too much, just 6 bags of 25-kilogram cat food, 3 bags of cat litter, a cat bed, a water dispenser...”

Zhou Chao interrupted Lin Wu as he counted on his fingers.

“Alright, alright, stop counting. Let’s bring everything in.”

The security guards didn’t hesitate and started moving the items in without a second word. They made two trips to bring all the things into the house. New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The head security guard looked at Zhou Chao and said, “Mr. Zhou, we’ll head back to our posts now. If you need anything, you can just give us a call.”

But before they could leave, Zhou Chao stopped them.

“Wait a moment, share this pack of cigarettes with your colleagues. You’ve worked hard.” Zhou Chao took out a pack of green panda cigarettes from the cabinet near the door and handed it to the head security guard.

“Mr. Zhou, are you sure about this?” The head security guard hesitated.

“Just take it.”

The head security guard accepted the cigarettes with gratitude. “Thank you,

Mr. Zhou.”

Zhou Chao nodded and watched as the security guards left happily.

“Alright, now you know how to find help.” Zhou Chao teased Lin Wu with a playful look.

Lin Wu had a wry smile on his face. “Boss, I didn’t plan for this. It’s just that I accidentally bought too much, but luckily I ran into this group of security guards patrolling the garage, so... hehe.”

Zhou Chao chuckled and shook his head. He turned to the pile of cat supplies and started walking towards it. Lin Wu followed suit.

“Lin Wu, I’m thinking of entrusting Shoufu’s care to you.”

“Me, taking care of him?” Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao with some confusion.

“Yes, Jiang Li is pregnant, and just in case, I can only keep Shoufu separately. Now that Jiang Li has returned to Jingdu, 1 need someone to look after him. After all, Shoufu is also a part of my family.” Zhou Chao smiled as he looked at Shoufu, who was peacefully sleeping on the sofa.

“Lady Boss is pregnant? When Li Qian told me earlier, she mentioned that the lady boss was experiencing morning sickness!” Lin Wu suddenly seemed to realize.

“Yes, that’s right. She’s been pregnant for two months now.”

“Congratulations, Boss.” Lin Wu’s face lit up with a smile.

“Prepare your luggage and move in here later. It will either be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 1 have to go out for a while. After I’m done with my business, it might be another half month before I return.”

“I got it, Boss. You can rely on me. I’ll look after Shoufu and make sure he eats so well that he might even put on a few pounds,” Lin Wu patted his chest and assured him.

Upon hearing Lin Wu’s words, Zhou Chao’s expression darkened, and he spoke with an unfriendly tone, “I asked you to take care of a cat, not to fatten it up!

Can’t you see how fat Shoufu is right now? Are you planning to use it for a New Year’s feast!!!”

As soon as he saw Zhou Chao’s displeased expression, Lin Wu felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead.

“Meow meow meow!” Shoufu circled around Zhou Chao, meowing.

“Alright, I’ll give you a little more, but once you finish this, there won’t be any left.” Zhou Chao reluctantly scooped out a bit more, and this time, Shoufu savored it slowly.

“You can take your time eating; I’ll go prepare my own food.” Zhou Chao patted Shoufu’s head and then turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Meanwhile, back in Jingdu, Jiang Li had returned to the Jiang family, and she was surrounded by a group of people.

Jiang Lao Ye, Old Master Xiao, Jiang’s father, Jiang’s mother, and even her aunt’s family were all there. Even Wen Shao had joined the gathering.

“Xiao Li, are you really pregnant?” Aunt Jiang looked at Jiang Li and asked.

Jiang Li had never experienced such a situation before. Everyone in her family had their eyes on her, making her more nervous than when she had to give presentations or speeches.

“Yes, it’s been almost two months. 1 had a check-up before coming back, and everything is fine.”

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s response, everyone smiled.

“Where’s that little rascal Zhou Chao? Why didn’t he accompany you back? He made you fly alone?” Old Master Xiao’s booming voice echoed.

“Grandfather, Brother Chao has something to take care of. Besides, since I’m only two months pregnant, I originally planned to go to work. But he insisted that I come back for recuperation.” Jiang Li said, her face filled with a happy smile.

“Old man Xiao, that brat really has something important to do, so don’t keep nagging. If you startle my grandson-in-law, watch me scold you!”

Old Master Xiao was about to retort but thought of Jiang Li’s pregnancy. He didn’t want to argue anymore and just gave him an angry look.

“What arrangements does that little rascal have?” At this point, Jiang You Dao also joined the conversation.

“For now, he wants me to rest at home and said he’s stocked up a lot of supplements here. He wants me to finish eating them all.” Jiang Li mentioned the vast amount of supplements Zhou Chao had mentioned at the airport, and she had a bit of a headache thinking about it.

“What kind of supplements are they?”

Jiang Li tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Yellow-lip fish maw, we probably have around 100 catties of it. There are also about 100 wild ginseng roots aged over a hundred years. Then there’s saffron, dried abalone...

Well, there are just a lot of food supplements. I’ll have to eat them every day for several months to finish them all.”

“Yellow-lip fish maw and hundred-year-old wild ginseng?” Jiang You Dao exclaimed in disbelief.

“That kid is quite considerate,” Old Master Jiang said with a pleased expression.

At this moment, Jiang You Dao, who was standing nearby, suggested, “Xiao Li, are you going back there or staying here?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment and replied, “I’ll go back there.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll escort you there,” Jiang You Dao said with excitement. When he went there, as her father-in-law, taking some ginseng and fish maw wouldn’t be too much, right?

“Smack!” Just as Jiang You Dao was lost in his fantasy, his head received a heavy blow.

“Ouch! Who did that?” He turned around and saw Old Master Jiang glaring at him angrily.

“Dad, why did you hit me?” Jiang You Dao said with a wounded expression, and the others nearby couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

“Why did I hit you? Wasn’t your expression just now suggesting that you wanted to use the excuse of escorting Jiang Li to Zhou Chao’s place to get some things?” Old Master Jiang said indignantly, seeing through Jiang You Dao’s intentions.

Jiang You Dao’s hidden agenda had been exposed, and he evaded with a guilty look, saying, “Noway!”

“Alright, Xiao Yang, you’ll accompany Xiao Li back later,” Old Master Jiang said, looking at Xiao Yang who was sitting nearby.

“Yes, Grandfather.”

“Alright, everyone can disperse now and attend to your own matters.”

Hearing Old Master Jiang’s words, everyone went their separate ways..
