“Little one, I’ll see if you dare to tease the next ti!” After looking at Jiang Li, who was still asleep, Zhou Chao smiled. He got up from the bed and headed towards the bathroom.
Last night, after dinner at his father-in-law’s house, they returned ho at 9 o’clock. Zhou Chao and Jiang Li spent several hours studying human anatomy art until well past 2 in the morning. Finally, with Jiang Li’s masterful strokes, they had completed their masterpiece.
After Zhou Chao finished showering and changed into fresh clothes, he quietly closed the bedroom door and headed downstairs.
“Mr. Zhou, are you up? Would you like so breakfast?” Aunt Wang, who was tidying up the house, greeted him as soon as he descended.
“Just make two sunny-side-up eggs, Aunt Wang.”
“Sure!”
Zhou Chao looked around but couldn’t spot Shoufu. He figured Shoufu must have gone to find the little white Siase cat ntioned by Aunt Wang.
As Zhou Chao lounged on the sofa, waiting for breakfast, a ow echoed from the courtyard outside.
He looked up to see Shoufu bringing in a slender white Siase cat.
Shoufu occasionally caressed the cat, and Zhou Chao found it amusing.
After a while, Shoufu brought the Siase cat to Zhou Chao, and it nestled on his lap, owing as if introducing her to him.
“You little rascal, you’re bringing her ho to et the family, huh?” Zhou Chao chuckled as he picked up Shoufu, looking at the cat’s innocent expression on her large head.
After playing with the chubby orange cat for a while, Zhou Chao turned his attention to the white Siase cat. She appeared like a quiet little princess, lying on the sofa and calmly observing him and Shoufu’s antics.
Zhou Chao reached out to pat her, but the Siase cat moved away. However, Shoufu owed a few tis, and only then did the Siase cat approach Zhou Chao’s hand, allowing him to stroke her.
“You little one, you’re quite clever. Follow ! Haha.” Zhou Chao put down Shoufu and headed to the area where they kept the cat treat. He grabbed a few cat treats and fed them to the two cats.
“Co eat this, and later we’ll find out where your wife lives!” Zhou Chao tore open two strips of cat treats and began feeding them left and right.
Soon, both treats were devoured, and the two cats paused.
“You two can play for a while. I’ll join you later!” Zhou Chao ruffled the heads of the two cats before heading to the dining table.
Aunt Wang had already prepared his breakfast.
“Mr. Zhou, this is the first ti Shoufu has brought this white cat ho. She used to just visit but never stayed over.”
“Oh,” Zhou Chao replied, a bit surprised. H thought that Shoufu often brought the cat ho. He realized he should check it out later; after all, it was an important matter for Shoufu.
Thinking about it made Zhou Chao smile to himself.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Zhou?”
“Nothing, Aunt Wang. You can go about your business; you don’t need to worry about . I’ll call you if 1 need anything.”
Wang Auntie nodded and went about her chores.
Zhou Chao quickly finished his two sunny-side-up eggs, and instead of calling Aunt Wang to wash the dishes, he did them himself.
“As far as the eye can see, it’s a distant horizon…” Just as Zhou Chao was coming out of the kitchen, his phone in his pocket rang.
“Hello, Lin Wu, have you arrived in Jingdu?”
“Boss, we’ve just arrived. We’re currently loading the machine tool onto the truck, preparing to transport it to the exhibition site.”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll co over this afternoon.”
“Okay, Boss!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and couldn’t help but pat his own hand in excitent.
“What’s got you so happy?” Zhou Chao heard a voice and turned to see Jiang Li in a sexy outfit, shorts and a white shirt, leaning on the second-floor railing, looking at him.
“Wifey, you’re awake. Do you want so breakfast?”
“No, I’m not hungry. Oh, is that the white Siase cat you ntioned last night, Shoufu’s new girlfriend?”
“Mmm, What do you think? Do you like it?”
“It looks great!” Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled as she descended from upstairs.
At this mont, both cats were lounging on the sofa, with Shoufu displaying a dominant posture, embracing the Siase cat.
“She’s so adorable, especially her eyes, they’re truly beautiful!” Jiang Li crouched in front of the sofa, her girlish charm overflowing. She extended her fingers to playfully tease the Siase cat’s little head.
Just as the Siase cat was about to escape, Shoufu’s ow stopped her, as if saying, “This is my mistress!”
“Let’s go visit the Siase cat’s family later and resolve the matter of these two cats. We wouldn’t want any issues to arise in the future!” After all, his own cat was just a chubby orange one that most people wouldn’t consider, let alone having both cats together. So, he needed to handle this matter personally.
“Sure, let’s do that!” Jiang Li, now able to touch the Siase cat, was clearly enjoying herself.
“You go change into a different outfit first; we’ll head out soon,” Zhou Chao said, noticing Jiang Li’s sowhat revealing attire and couldn’t help but remind her.
Jiang Li glanced at her attire, then at Zhou Chao’s amused expression, and headed upstairs. She returned shortly, now dressed in sportswear.
“Let’s go, my jealous husband!”
“Just a mont, let grab sothing. It wouldn’t be right to visit soone’s ho for the first ti empty-handed!” Zhou Chao said, heading to a room.
He returned holding a bag, and the familiar scent of the contents filled the air—it was a bottle of Domaine Romanee-Conti Grand Cru red wine.
“Shoufu, let’s go and see where your little bride lives!” With his affinity for animals, Zhou Chao believed that animals could understand him.
Shoufu, lying on the sofa, patted the Siase cat in his arms. Both cats jumped down from the sofa and headed outside.
“Let’s go, dear!” The two of them quickly followed Shoufu and the Siase cat’s steps.
What followed was a peculiar sight on the road. Two cats led the way, followed by a couple, attracting the attention of many passersby.
After walking for about three or four minutes, they arrived at the entrance of a courtyard. Zhou Chao took a look and realized that both courtyards were located along the canal bank, with one to the south and one to the north, effectively spanning the entire neighborhood.
“Is this the one?” The Siase cat had reached the front gate.
Zhou Chao quickly pressed the doorbell.
Soon, footsteps approached, and the door opened.
A middle-aged man ca out and, upon seeing Zhou Chao and the two cats at the door, imdiately picked up the Siase cat, muttering, “Oh my, my little darling, if you don’t co back soon, Miss will scold to death!”
Only then did the middle-aged man rember Zhou Chao and Jiang Li standing there.
“Hello, may I help you with sothing?”
“Hello, we also live here, and these two cats seed to have a connection. We’ve co to visit your hoowner. Is that convenient?”
The middle-aged man looked a bit surprised at first, but when he saw the chubby orange cat in Jiang Li’s arms, he seed to understand.
“Please wait a mont; 1’11 inform them. Please pardon the inconvenience.”
“Mmm,” Zhou Chao nodded gently.
He could tell that this middle-aged man was probably the steward of this courtyard, and he didn’t want to overstep any boundaries by letting people in without permission, even if they appeared to be well-dressed and important.
The middle-aged man carried the Siase cat and walked inside without even closing the gate, perhaps thinking that closing it would be disrespectful to Zhou Chao.
“Master, there are two young people outside who want to visit you. They also live in our neighborhood. It seems they are the owners of that chubby orange cat!”
The middle-aged man returned to the house and reported to a man of about sixty, who had a friendly deanor but also a hint of dominance in his eyes.
“Oh, the owner of that mischievous chubby orange cat. I didn’t expect them to live in our neighborhood. Interesting. All Cheng, please invite them in!” As soon as he spoke, he gave off a very friendly vibe.
“Yes, Master!” Ah Cheng set down the cat he was holding and quickly walked towards the entrance.
“I apologize for the wait. Please co in, Master requests your presence!” Ah Cheng promptly opened the gate completely. Zhou Chao smiled at the gesture and led Jiang Li inside, holding her hand.
Ah Cheng then guided Zhou Chao and Jiang Li further inside.
“Uncle Ye!” Zhou Chao blurted out when he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. But he quickly realized his mistake; the two n looked sowhat similar from the side.
“Sorry, I mistook you for an elder. You two look quite alike from the side!” Zhou Chao hurriedly explained.
At this point, the middle-aged man burst into laughter.
“Haha, you didn’t make a mistake. You can call Uncle Ye. Let introduce myself. My last na is Ye, Ye Zhengyun. I’m the big brother of the ‘Uncle Ye’ you ntioned just now. And you must be Zhou Chao, the creative one whom my second brother ntioned. 1 didn’t expect to et you here of all places!”
At this mont, Zhou Chao was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that the person he had spontaneously decided to visit would turn out to be soone he knew.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
“I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence!” Zhou Chao said with a smile on his face.
“Why don’t you introduce yourselves?”
“Uncle Ye, would it be alright if I call you Big Uncle Ye instead? Just calling you
‘Uncle’ sounds a bit odd to .”
“Sure, whatever suits you!” Ye Zhengyun replied with a faint smile.
“Big Uncle Ye, this is my wife, Jiang Li.”
“Hello, Big Uncle Ye!” Jiang Li stood up politely to greet him.
“Hello, hello! My second brother has been praising you to the skies, saying that everything about you is excellent. I’ve never heard him praise soone like this before!”
“That’s too kind of you, Big Uncle Ye. I’m really not that great. By the way, Big Uncle Ye, this is a small gift I brought. I was planning to use it as an icebreaker, but it seems unnecessary now.” Zhou Chao finally rembered the wine he was holding.
“All Cheng, take it and put it away. I heard that this young man’s gifts are always valuable!”
ii
It’s not that valuable; it’s just a bottle of red wine.” Zhou Chao didn’t have a clear sense of the wine’s value anymore, especially since he had plenty of Domaine Romanee-Conti Grand Cru left.
“Master, this gentleman’s gift is worth several million!” Ah Cheng interjected from the side. As a professional butler, he was well-versed in the value of wines.
“Leave it, this kid doesn’t care about such things!” Ye Zhengyun waved his hand and accepted the gift..
