“It’s because I’m excited to see you back!” Jiang Li leaned against Zhou Chao’s chest, sticking her tongue out playfully.
Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly and gently patted Jiang Li’s back, “Alright, you didn’t see Aunt Kuang making fun of you?”
Seeing Aunt Kuang’s teasing gaze, Jiang Li quickly stepped out of Zhou Chao’s embrace, her cheeks slightly flushed. She rolled her eyes at Zhou Chao. “It’s all your fault that Aunt Kuang is laughing at me!”
Zhou Chao teased back, “Ah, yes, it’s all my fault!”
Annoyed, Jiang Li stomped her foot, “You’re annoying me!” With that, she headed straight to the dining room, with Zhou Chao chuckling and following behind quickly.
“Young Master, you’re back!” Aunt Kuang placed a set of chopsticks and bowls on the table.
“Yeah, you’ve been so helpful lately!”
“Master, it’s my duty. Hurry and eat while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it gets cold later.” Aunt Kuang said nervously, having spent some time with them, she had more or less figured out their identities.
Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Chao and then turned to Aunt Kuang with a smile, “Aunt Kuang, why don’t you sit down and join us? Don’t worry about him.”
Zhou Chao watched as Aunt Kuang nodded slightly in response to Jiang Li’s words. Then, she turned and went to the kitchen to get herself a set of chopsticks and bowls.
Brother Chao, you’re amazing! Let me see how your brain works and why you’re so smart!” Jiang Li said, sitting up as if she were about to examine Zhou Chao’s head.
Zhou Chao gently pushed away her reaching hand and said with a faint smile, “Just going with the flow.”
“If we go by the price tag from the first negotiation, Brother Chao, how do you plan to handle those resources? Just those two large oil fields alone would require a lot of effort, not to mention the numerous mineral resources. When the time comes, the leading domestic resource enterprises will probably be knocking down the doors!”
Taking a sip of tea and looking smug, Zhou Chao said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already figured it out. If the negotiations go well, I’ll just hand these matters over to Ling Chen to deal with.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li’s mouth twitched slightly. She silently prayed for Ling Chen, encountering such a boss who likes to delegate everything could indeed be unlucky.
“Oh right, Brother Chao, why didn’t the little guy come back with you?” Jiang Li suddenly remembered the little tiger Zhou Chao had found before.
“Oh, I forgot. I was in a hurry when I left and didn’t pay attention.” Zhou Chao lightly tapped his head. How could he forget about the little tiger?
“Poor little tiger, unfortunate to meet such a person!” Jiang Li teased Zhou Chao.
“Go on!” Zhou Chao gave Jiang Li an annoyed look and randomly dialed Lin Wu’s number on his phone.
At that moment, Lin Wu, Wang Lao, and the others were sitting on lounge chairs in an open space. Lin Wu was holding the little tiger in his arms and feeding it milk from a small bottle he had somehow obtained, while Wang Lao, lying beside them, was basking in the sun.
“Xiao Lin, it looks like you haven’t gotten married yet, judging by your current situation!” Wang Lao, lying beside them, teased Lin Wu, who seemed a bit clumsy with his actions.
Lin Wu smiled awkwardly, “Wang Lao, you guessed wrong. I’m already married.. There was just a little mishap before, and the wedding didn’t happen, but I already have the marriage certificate!”
