Hey, you're still a bit better!” At this moment, Abdullah's competition had already ended, hitting 23 shots directly, but there were two mistakes during the high toss.

“That's impressive already. It looks like you've learned shooting techniques. If not for those mistakes, it would have been a perfect bullseye!”

“I studied for a while, but I'm still a bit behind compared to you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao smiled.

As Abdullah was the final participant, the competition came to a close. Zhou Chao, who had secured first place, stood confidently on the winner's podium. While the prizes may not have been valuable, they held great significance.

As the crowd dispersed, most of them left by car, as it was getting late.

“Boss, are we going back to the hotel?”

“Yeah, let's go back. It's getting late.” It was already 6:30 PM, and by the time they returned to the hotel, it would be close to 7 PM.

Just as the three of them got into the sightseeing car, they heard someone calling Zhou Chao's name from behind. Recognizing the familiar Arabic language, Zhou Chao knew it was Abdullah, whom he had a friendly conversation with earlier.

“Abdullah, what's up?” Zhou Chao was also surprised. The two of them had just met by chance, but it seemed like Abdullah had more in mind.

“Zhou, do you have time tomorrow? Would you like to go diving at the Grand Mosque together?”

“Abdullah, I'm a married man. I'm not interested in men!” Zhou Chao's words shocked everyone present, even Abdullah had a surprised expression.

It took a while for everyone to come to their senses. Abdul laughed and said, “Zhou, you're an interesting person. My orientation is perfectly normal!”

“Well, then 1 can relax. As for diving tomorrow, no problem. We were planning to go tomorrow anyway!” Zhou Chao had a favorable impression of the person in front of him.

“Really, that's great! How about having dinner together tonight? It's dinner time now!”

I'll skip dinner with you. I have some other friends to meet. I'll treat you another time!” Zhou Chao politely declined Abdul's invitation.

“Alright, see you tomorrow!”

“See you tomorrow!” Zhou Chao waved goodbye to Abdullah and then had Lin Wu drive away.

“Boss, why do you value that gentleman we just met so much?” Abdullah's bodyguard beside him asked curiously.

“I don't know. He gives off a very friendly vibe, so I thought about making friends. Alright, let's go back to the hotel!” Abdullah looked at the departing car and said indifferently.

The random group also got in the car and headed towards the hotel, following the same direction as Zhou Chao and his group.

Back at the seaside villa, it was already 7 PM. Zhou Chao called everyone in the group and they all came out, including Si Cong and Qinfen.

This group was created specifically for this trip to make it easier for everyone to communicate. They quickly decided to dine at a restaurant not far from the seaside villa. Si cong recommended this restaurant, saying that the food was good.

“One Forty” was the restaurant recommended by Si Cong. The decoration style was quite elegant, giving a fresh and clean feeling. One could also see the nearby beach and the ocean.

When Zhou Chao and his two companions arrived at the restaurant, Si Cong, Li Yang, and the others were already sitting and chatting.

“Zhou, where did you guys go this afternoon?” Qin Fen asked as soon as they sat down.

“We just wandered around and went to the shooting range.”

“Shooting range? You used a shotgun, right?” Si Cong joined the conversation.

“Yeah, that's right. It was quite fun and exciting.”

Hearing Zhou Chao's words, Si Cong turned to Qin Fen and Zhang Wenxuan.

“Qin Fen, Wenxuan, how about we try it tomorrow?”

“Sounds good!” Both of them replied in unison.

Zhou Chao noticed that the three of them had become quite close over the course of just one day. It seemed that men's conversations often started with women as the topic.

“I didn't expect you guys to become such good friends in just one day. It looks like your time at the beach wasn't wasted!” Zhou Chao teased them with a playful smile.

“Whatever!” In an instant, Si Cong, Qin Fen, and the others playfully dissed Zhou Chao, much to his surprise.

As a result, Si Cong and the others exchanged glances, and they didn't expect everyone to be so in sync.

This scene left Li Yang and the others laughing uncontrollably, and it took them quite a while to recover.

“See, you didn't believe us earlier. Do you believe it now?”

Uh… Waiter, why haven't you come over yet? We want to order!” Qin Fen ignored Zhou Chao's words and quickly changed the topic, calling the waiter who had been standing nearby.

Zhou Chao shook his head and turned to chat with Jiang Li. His younger sister, Guo Yan, was busy on her phone, discussing something with Shen Lan. It seemed like they had taken quite a few photos in the afternoon and were now reviewing them.

One Forty was a seafood-themed restaurant, and the seafood here was considered the best on the island. Qin Fen ordered a table full of dishes, even going as far as one lobster per person. In his words, if they couldn't finish it, they could take it back as a midnight snack.

Because it was seafood, the dishes were served quickly, and they didn't have to wait long. They dug in enthusiastically.

“I have to admit, the seafood here is really delicious!”

“These were all caught today, ensuring the freshness of the ingredients!”

After finishing off a big lobster, Zhou Chao wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at the others who were enjoying their meal. “Tomorrow, Jiang Li and I are going diving. 1 wonder if any of you would like to join us?”

“Diving? Deep diving? We're in!” Li Yang said, with a mouthful of lobster meat.

“Yay! We're going!” Guo Yan chimed in enthusiastically, even though her words were a bit garbled due to her mouth being full.

“Alright, alright. Let's talk about it after we finish eating.” Seeing Guo Yan's excitement, Zhou Chao couldn't help but pat her head.

“We won't be joining you guys this time. We agreed to go to the shooting range tomorrow. We can go diving another day,” Qin Fen shook his head. After all, they had plenty of time, and they could go diving whenever it was convenient.

“Okay, no problem. We have plenty of time,” Zhou Chao didn't insist, respecting everyone's preferences.

Soon, they finished their meal, and after a brief discussion, they decided to take a walk and then head back to rest. After leaving the restaurant, they went their separate ways.

“Let's go for a stroll. We haven't had a chance to see the beach at night yet, Zhou Chao whispered to his beloved as he held her waist.

“Sure!

Zhou Chao embraced Jiang Li and slowly walked towards the beach. As the sky darkened, they stood on the sandy shore, gazing at the setting sun that cast the entire sky in beautiful shades of orange.

“It's so beautiful.”

The deep blue sea, the rippling waves, and the lingering hues of the setting sun in the sky left them both in awe.

They sat in front of a small wooden cabin on the beach. Jiang Li leaned on Zhou Chao's shoulder, and they silently watched the direction of the setting sun.

“Ah Li.”

“Yes?

“It's wonderful to have you with me.

Jiang Li lifted her head to look at Zhou Chao, her eyes glistening with tears of happiness. She embraced his body tightly, savoring this tender moment.

Beautiful moments are always short-lived. It didn't feel like much time had passed when the setting sun had sunk below the horizon, leaving only a faint glimmer of light in the sky. The whole sky gradually darkened.

As they strolled along the beach, they had already taken off their shoes, feeling the touch of the sea and sand beneath their feet.

Suddenly, Jiang Li stopped in her tracks.

“What's wrong?” Zhou Chao looked at her in confusion.

“Brother Chao, let's have a child!” Jiang Li stared at him with big eyes, filled with anticipation.

“I haven't given you a proper wedding yet,” Zhou Chao gently caressed Jiang Li's hair, his eyes filled with affection.

“You know, 1 don't mind that. Even if there's no wedding, 1 don't mind!” Jiang Li said earnestly.

“No, we'll definitely have a wedding. But having a child can also be on our agenda!”

Jiang Li happily tiptoed and kissed Zhou Chao before briskly running ahead.

“You kissed me and then tried to run away? It's not that easy!” Zhou Chao chuckled and quickly chased after her.

Laughter and joy filled the beach as they strolled together.

The sky had darkened completely, and the beach lights had already been lit. Unbeknownst to them, they had spent a pleasant couple of hours.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Just as they sat on the rocks by the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and chatting, Zhou Chao's phone rang from his pocket.

“Who could be so inconsiderate, calling at this hour and ruining the mood?”

“Go ahead and answer. What if it's something important?”

“I'll listen to my dear wife!” Zhou Chao then took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a call from Miles.

“Hello, Miles, what's up?”

Hearing his boss's somewhat unfriendly tone over the phone, Miles wondered if he should have called tomorrow.

Uh, Boss, i hope I'm not interrupting anything important.”

“If you were interrupting, do you think 1 would be speaking to you calmly? Speak up, what's the matter?”

Hearing Zhou Chao's words, Miles breathed a sigh of relief.

“Boss, here's the situation. The matter you asked John to handle has been resolved. The other party's ship can leave the port in the next two days. Also, regarding the world-class photography studio you mentioned earlier, it's all arranged. They'll arrive on Lanai Island tomorrow. How long should we schedule for the shoot?”

“Well, let's plan for the day after tomorrow. When they arrive tomorrow, let them have a day to rest and explore the island's scenery. They can decide on the best shooting locations.”

“Understood, Boss!”

“Yeah, and unless it's something extremely urgent, try not to call me at night. Otherwise… hmph!” Zhou Chao added a warning. He didn't want to make it a habit of taking work calls at night, as it might interfere with his happiness.

“I understand, Boss!” Miles wiped the sweat from his forehead upon hearing the boss's final words.

Zhou Chao then hung up the phone and looked at the woman in his arms.

“All Li, let's head back.”

So early?!”

Seeing Jiang Li's playful expression, Zhou Chao chuckled and pinched her rosy cheek.

“Didn't we just talk about wanting a child earlier? Let's go back and work on that!”

Hey!” Jiang Li blushed at the thought.

Carry me!” Without hesitation, Zhou Chao lifted Jiang Li onto his back and headed towards the seaside villa..
