Chapter 373: Home Is More Comfortable

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at the gradually shrinking Lanai Island outside the window, Zhou Chao sighed in his heart, “I wonder when I'll have the chance to come here again!”

“What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind!” Jiang Li sat beside Zhou Chao, holding a plate of fruit.

“Nothing, just thinking about when I'll have the chance to visit Lanai Island again.”

“In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities!”

“Indeed,” Zhou Chao said with a smile, patting Jiang Li's hand.

At this moment, Shen Wenxuan approached the two of them.

“Young Master Zhou!”

“What's up, Wenxuan?”

“I, Si Cong, Qin Fen, and Li Yang are planning to play cards together. 1 wanted to ask if Young Master Zhou would like to join us!”

Seeing Zhang Wenxuan's serious expression, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

“Is there a problem, Young Master Zhou?”

“You're inviting me to play cards, but it seems like none of them knows!”

“Well, I came over after going to the restroom, thinking that you didn't come, so 1 wanted to ask!”

“Haha, are you not curious about why none of them invited me?” Zhou Chao's words suddenly enlightened him.

Indeed, these people were not foolish, and their relationship with Zhou Chao was much better. None of them had mentioned inviting Zhou Chao to play cards, so there must be something he didn't know.

Seeing the puzzled look on Zhang Wenxuan's face, Zhou Chao smiled and said, “You go back and play with them. I won't go!”

Zhang Wenxuan, who couldn't understand, nodded and then turned to leave.

When he returned to the leisure area, Zhang Wenxuan was still pondering what exactly was going on.

“Wenxuan, what are you thinking about? You've been gone for such a long time!” Li Yang asked, looking at Zhang Wenxuan, who was lost in thought.”

“I just went ahead to invite Young Master Zhou to come and play cards, but he didn't want to. I'm a bit puzzled!”

Zhang Wenxuan's words left them a bit bewildered, but they quickly snapped out of it.

“Why did you go and invite Zhou Chao? We're having so much fun, and if you invite him, you'll end up crying all the way back to the country!”

“No way!” Zhang Wenxuan still couldn't believe it.

“Can you win several billion at a Macau casino? You invited him to play cards, and you'll end up losing everything!” Li Yang told him about Zhou Chao's history at the casino.

“He's that good?”

“Of course, why else would we not invite him? Okay, let's stop talking about him and start playing!” Si Cong began shuffling the cards.

After a flight of more than nine hours, they finally landed at Modu Hongqiao Airport.

“All, we've finally arrived. We left in the morning, and now it's only noon in the country. The time difference is really annoying!” Guo Yan stretched lazily and complained softly while looking at the clear sky outside.

As soon as they got off the plane, they felt the heat wave, as if someone was holding a torch next to them. Sitting on the shuttle bus with comfortable air conditioning, the coolness enveloped them, making them feel comfortable and refreshed, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“All, why does it feel like it's getting hotter in Modu!”

“It's summer after all, so the heat is normal.”

“Shall we have a meal together or go our separate ways?” Zhou Chao looked at the people behind him.

“Let's eat together first and then go home to rest!”

“Alright, the usual place. Huang Gongzi, Qin Fen, can you make the reservations?”

“No problem!”

Soon, everyone arrived at the parking garage and got into their respective cars, heading towards Huang Gongzi.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, they headed straight for a private room and asked the waiter to start preparing the dishes.

“Wow, this place is so luxurious, bro!” Guo Yan's eyes widened as she looked around as if she had entered a palace.

“Just get used to it. By the way, after dinner, follow Lin Wu to stay at The Palms Residence. If you need anything, just call Lin Wu. These two days, I want to spend some quality time with your sister-in-law!”

“Alright, got it, you stingy guy!” Guo Yan stuck out her tongue playfully, looking at the others who were laughing.

Soon, a series of exquisite dishes were brought to the table, and the hungry group started using their chopsticks.

“It's so delicious! This is the second most delicious food I've ever eaten, just a little worse than what my stinky brother cooks!” Guo Yan said, not forgetting to tease Zhou Chao, who was sitting at the head of the table.

“Where's all that talk coming from? Your mouth is so big it could fit a whole bowl!” Z

“Hmph, stinky brother!” Guo Yan pouted, but her chopsticks never stopped moving.

“All, so satisfied. Home is still the best. Outside, the food is all bland!” Li Yang patted his belly, feeling extremely comfortable.

“Indeed, every time we come to Huang Gongzi, it's a rare occasion to have two bowls of rice!”

“Everyone has eaten enough. Let's go back and rest early!” Zhou Chao stood up as he spoke.

“I'm going to have a good sleep when I get back!” Si Cong stretched lazily and stood up.

“Let's go!”

Qin Fen walked ahead to settle the bill.

“Young Master Zhou, we'll head off first!”

“Alright, drive safely!”

Then, Qin Fen, Si Cong, and Zhang Wenxuan left in their sports cars.

“Second Brother, we're heading back too. Guo Yan, if you're bored, you can always give us a call. My wife is always at home, and you can spend more time with her!”

“I got it, Li Yang!” Guo Yan nodded obediently.

Li Yang then took his wife in his car and drove away.

After watching Li Yang leave, Zhou Chao turned his gaze to Guo Yan.

“For the next few days, you can have fun on your own. If you need anything, just give me a call.”

“I know, bro. I'm not a three-year-old kid!”

“Mmm, just three more days until the exam results are out. If you don't do well, you'll see how I deal with you!” Z

“Sister-in-law, look at how fierce your husband is. You should take care of her too!”

Zhou Chao didn't expect Guo Yan to play along like this.

“Alright, your brother is just scaring you, but if your grades are really bad, 1'11 be on his side too!” Guo Yan smiled when she heard the first part of Jiang Li's sentence, but when Jiang Li finished speaking, her expression turned sour.

“Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm sure she'll get good grades!”

“Yes, SI believe you!” Jiang Li gently patted Guo Yan's little head.

Afterward, Guo Yan followed Lin Wu back to The Palms Residence.

“Should we go back first or buy some clothes?” When Zhou Chao mentioned clothes, he emphasized it a bit.

Jiang Li immediately understood what Zhou Chao meant.

“If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going. It's too embarrassing!” Blushing, Jiang Li opened the car door and got in.

Seeing Jiang Li looking embarrassed, Zhou Chao smirked triumphantly and got into the car, driving towards the direction of Huazhou Junting.

Upon reaching home, Jiang Li went straight to the bedroom to get some rest, while Zhou Chao lay on the sofa, deep in thought.

“Hmm, this outfit is not bad, and this one too, it's lightweight.” After about half an hour of browsing, Zhou Chao purchased seven or eight sets of clothes online.

“Almost arriving tomorrow, and then… hehehe!” Zhou Chao chuckled mischievously, lost in his fantasies.

“Ding ding ding!” His daydream was interrupted by an incoming call.

Seeing an unfamiliar number on his phone, Zhou Chao quickly composed himself and answered the call.

Hello?

“Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Chao?” A slightly nervous female voice came from the other end.

“Yes, I'm Zhou Chao. May 1 know who's calling?”

“I'm from the Radiant Hanfu Studio, and I would like to know when you will come visit the studio.”

“Um… Where is your studio located?” Zhou Chao asked somewhat awkwardly.

There was a brief silence on the other side, and after a while, they replied, “Mr.

Zhou, our studio is in Jinling. Whenever you have time, you can come and visit!”

“Jinling? Well, how about I come over in a couple of days? I'll give you a call when I'm on my way. By the way, I don't know your name yet!”

“I'm Gu Yan, the head of the studio.”

“Gu Yan, 1 got it. I'll give you a call when I arrive in Jinling.”

“Okay, Mr. Zhou!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao did a quick online search for Radiant Hanfu Studio. He found quite a bit of information.

It was one of the top Hanfu studios in China, and they specialized in handmade

Hanfu. Each set of Hanfu had to be customized a month in advance, and the prices were not cheap.

“Hanfu, Hanfu! 1 wonder how Ling Chen is doing right now.”

He then called Ling Chen.

“Boss, you're back in Modu?”

“Yeah, just got back today. I have some matters to discuss with you.”

“What's up, Boss?”

Zhou Chao was about to explain, but he remembered something else and said, “How about this, I'll come to the company. It's better to discuss some things in person.”

“Sure, Boss!”

Zhou Chao hung up the phone and retrieved the stock agreement documents of Lei Mingtang Group from the warehouse. After reviewing them for a while, he put them back into the leather bag.

He picked up the bag and his keys, then headed to the garage. Just as he took a few steps, he glanced back at the second floor, took out his phone, and sent a message to Jiang Li, saying that he was going to the company. He then entered the garage.

Driving his stylish Lamborghini Veneno, he exited the residential complex and headed straight for the Golden Tower Building.

Upon arriving at the company, Zhou Chao was immediately greeted by a wave of “Hello, Boss.”

When he reached Ling Chen's office, he walked right in.

“Boss, you're here. I just brewed some West Lake Longjing tea. Please have a taste.”

Zhou Chao sat down at the tea table and began to sip the tea.

“It won't do, Ling Chen, this tea leaves is a bit lacking. When you have some free time, go to my place, The Palms Residence, and I'll give you some good tea leaves to bring back. Instead of just keeping them there, it's better to let you enjoy them all.”

“Really, Boss? You can't go back on your words!” Ling Chen said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

“You're so thrilled. It's not like it's anything special.”

“Hehe, Boss, your generosity always leads to top-quality goods. 1 know that. Besides, I've been eyeing those tea leaves in your tea cabinet for a while now.”

“Why didn't you say so earlier? 1 would have given them to you!”

“Well, I felt a bit embarrassed to ask!”

“Tsk, you still know how to be embarrassed!”

Ling Chen scratched his head and quickly changed the subject. “Boss, is there something important that made you come in person?”

“Hmm….”
