“Mmm, it’s really nice, and the price is reasonable and delicious!”
The three of them had enjoyed a satisfying meal and drinks at Yulin Skewers. Currently, they were sitting in the car, getting ready to head back to the hotel.
Just as they arrived at the hotel, they saw Wang Feng and Yang Yun getting out of a taxi, with Yang Yun excitedly holding Wang Feng’s hand, chatting and laughing together.
Wang Feng, who was engrossed in his conversation with Yang Yun, suddenly noticed a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked not far away, and he was stunned.
“Brother Feng, what’s wrong with you?” Yang Yun looked at Wang Feng with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had suddenly stopped.
“Boss!” At this moment, Zhou Chao and the others had already gotten out of the car and walked towards Wang Feng and Yang Yun.
When Yang Yun saw the approaching three people, she was dumbfounded. It turned out that they were the boss and his group.
“Wang Feng, come here!” Zhou Chao deliberately wore a stern expression.
Hearing Zhou Chao calling him, Wang Feng felt like his time had come. He glanced at Yang Yun and walked hesitantly towards Zhou Chao.
“You, come with me!” Zhou Chao called out to Wang Feng and walked to the side.
As Wang Feng passed by Lin Wu, he quickly sent out a distress signal, but all he got from Lin Wu was a helpless look.
“Sister Li, do you think the boss will scold Wang Feng?” Seeing the boss leaving, Yang Yun approached Jiang Li with a worried expression and asked tentatively.
Jiang Li and Lin Wu exchanged glances and chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, Brother Chao won’t scold him. But do you really want to be in a relationship with him? If not, I advise you to break up with him as soon as possible, considering last night’s madness and today’s interaction. I can see that you already have feelings for Wang Feng.”
Yang Yun blushed, thinking about their wild night together and their time spent today. She realized that Wang Feng had already found a place in her heart.
“Mmm, I genuinely want to be in a relationship with him!” Jiang Li nodded in response to Yang Yun’s confession, taking her hand and encouraging her to let her feelings take root.
On the other side, Wang Feng followed Zhou Chao to a corner, feeling uneasy.
“Tsk tsk, you kid, you really did it. You slept with her without a word. Tell me, what’s your plan?” Zhou Chao circled around Wang Feng, unable to find the right words to scold him for a moment.
“Boss… I want to be in a relationship with her and marry her. Boss, do you believe in love at first sight? When I saw her for the first time, I liked her. I made up my mind in my heart that 1 must marry her!”
“Don’t blabber. You’re just lusting after her body, not love at first sight. Don’t you know that all love at first sight is just lust for someone’s body? But since you’ve slept with her, you have to take responsibility. Do you get it?”
Zhou Chao noticed that Wang Feng was still standing there, lost for words, and he gave him a playful kick.
“Hehe, got it, boss!” Wang Feng understood the boss’s intentions, and his mood instantly improved.
“Stop smiling, get out of here!” Zhou Chao scolded him without mercy and walked towards Jiang Li.
“Lin Wu, inform everyone about the return to Modu this afternoon. Let them pack up and take the plane back. Make sure they all get some good rest when they get back.”
“Boss, should I go back with them?”
“Why are you staying here and being a third wheel?!” Zhou Chao gave him an impatient look.
“Boss, should we leave the Karlmann King here for repairs or transport it back to Modu for repairs?”
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before speaking, “Let’s transport it back. It has performed admirably this time. When we get back, have Ling Chen find the best technician to fix it!”
“All right, you all go about your business!” After giving instructions, Zhou Chao led Jiang Li into the hotel.
Lin Wu glanced at the two of them and followed them inside.
“Did the boss scold you just now?” Yang Yun, holding Wang Feng’s hand, looked worried.
“How could the boss scold me? Can’t you see the relationship between me and the boss?” Wang Feng tilted his head proudly, like a swan.
“Show-off!” Yang Yun rolled her eyes at him.
After playing around for a while, the two of them also headed into the hotel to pack their belongings. They would be returning to Modu in the afternoon.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Wu came to Zhou Chao’s room, handed him the keys to the Phantom, and then took Wang Feng and the team on a bus they had arranged in advance to Shuangliu Airport.
“Wifey!” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li were lying on the sofa playing with their phones.
“What’s up?” Jiang Li was playing with her phone and didn’t even look up.
“It’s almost May 1st, should we go on a trip?”
“May 1st?” Jiang Li glanced at the time and realized that the May 1st holiday was just two days away.
H
Sure, where do you want to go?” Jiang Li also wanted to go out for a stroll.
“How about Fenghuang in Xiangxi?”
“Fenghuang? The place where Brother Xiaoyao lived in The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1?” Jiang Li instantly sat up from the sofa.
“Yes, that’s the place. We can also visit Furong Town nearby.” Zhou Chao thought of the waterfall in Furong Town not far from Fenghuang.
“Okay, let’s do that. We’ll go to Fenghuang for the May 1st holiday!” Jiang Li had wanted to go there for a while; after all, it held childhood memories for her.
“How about we leave tomorrow? We can drive there; it’s not too far, and we can explore other places along the way!”
“Sounds good. If you plan it, it’s fine with me!” Jiang Li nodded and started researching online.
Time flew, and it was already 5:30 in the evening. Zhou Chao and Jiang Li were cuddled up in bed.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”
Hello-”
“My dear Zhou, it’s already evening, and you’re still sleeping. You should take better care of your health. If you continue like this, you’ll have kidney deficiency sooner or later!”
“I was just taking a nap, and napping is good! Besides, I’m in great shape, unlike you, all weak and feeble!”
“Alright, stop chatting. Come out quickly. I’m waiting for you. I’ve sent the address to your phone!”
“I got it-”
Zhou Chao hung up the phone, then looked at Jiang Li, who had already woken up, and gently kissed her forehead.
“Wake up, you little lazy pig. We’re going out for a feast!”
The two of them freshened up quickly, changed their clothes, and held hands as they headed outside.
“Zi Fei” is a very famous local private kitchen in Chengdu.
Zhou Chao drove according to the address given by Houting. After parking the car, he spent several minutes looking for Zi Fei Private Kitchen but couldn’t find it. In the end, he had to take out his phone and call Houting.
“Hello, Young Master Zhou, have you arrived?”
“We’ve arrived, but we can’t find out how to get in!”
“Wait there, I’ll come out and find you right away!”
Before Zhou Chao could finish speaking, Hou Ting hastily hung up the phone.
Shortly after, Zhou Chao saw Houting’s figure.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you that the main gate of Zi Fei is usually closed. 1 thought you knew. I’m really sorry!” Hou Ting quickly apologized. After all, it was his mistake, and if Zhou Chao thought he was intentionally embarrassing him, Houting wouldn’t be able to explain it.
“It’s alright, let’s go!”
Hou Ting led Zhou Chao and his group through a maze of twists and turns. As soon as they entered, Zhou Chao saw a courtyard with a traditional Chinese decoration style, giving off a quiet and peaceful vibe.
Once they entered the private room, they saw He Yan playing games on his phone, muttering, “Watch how I, Xiao Luban, harvest you all, biubiibiubiu!”
“Xiao Yan-” Hou Ting called out to He Yan gently, and He Yan, who was immersed in the game, quickly looked up.
“Brother Chao, you’re here, and this is your wife, right? Your wife has a great figure!” He Yan immediately put down his phone and ran towards Jiang Li.
Let me introduce you. This is my legal wife, Jiang Li, and the lovely one here is He Yan. The shameless guy sitting there is Hou Ting!”
“Hey, you’re the one who’s shameless!”
He Yan directly pulled Jiang Li to sit down, and Zhou Chao found an empty seat and sat down.
As soon as they took their seats, Hou Ting clapped his hands, and immediately someone shouted to bring the dishes!
“Zi Fei is one of the top private kitchens in Rong City. There are many signature dishes, such as Mao Brush Pastry, Wealthy Flowers Bloom, and Late Night Snow. Tonight, in addition to these signature dishes, I specially ordered a Fish and Beauty Banquet. You must try it; it’s the highlight among highlights!”
Soon, exquisite dishes were brought to the table one after another. Zhou Chao was also attracted by the beautiful presentation of the dishes. It seemed that the chef had put a lot of effort into the presentation, adding elegance to the dishes.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, the door of the private room was pushed open, and several dancers walked in.
“These are the performances of the Fish and Beauty Banquet, and there’s also a Sichuan Opera Face-Changing performance scheduled later,” Houting explained quickly as Zhou Chao looked puzzled.
“You’ve really put a lot of thought into this meal!” Zhou Chao gave Hou Ting a meaningful look.
“As long as you enjoy the meal, nothing else matters!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
While Zhou Chao and Hou Ting enjoyed their meal and the entertainment, Jiang Li and He Yan were engrossed in their conversation.
Good times are always short-lived. Soon, the dancers left the private room, and a man entered. Judging by his attire, Zhou Chao guessed that he was going to perform Sichuan Opera Face-Changing.
As the music started, even Jiang Li and He Yan, who had been chatting happily, stopped their conversation and focused on the performance.
As the music picked up pace, the performer’s face-changing speed also increased, until the music finally stopped!
“Clap, clap, clap!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but stand up and applaud the performer, and the other three also stood up.
The performer didn’t say a word, just bowed to the audience, and then left the private room!
“This place is really nice. Not only is the food delicious, but the entertainment here is also great. How can one know the joy of fish if one is not a fish? (T/N: It’s a classical Chinese saying attributed to Zhuangzi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer, which meant “How can one truly understand or empathize with another’s happiness or experience if they haven’t personally experienced it themselves?”)
After a satisfying meal, they chatted for another half an hour before leaving Zi Fei Private Kitchen.
“You’ve really made an effort today. We’ll head back first!”
“No problem!”
Jiang Li and He Yan had become like close friends at this point. They walked hand in hand and chatted happily.
“Jiang Li, we should go back!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s call, Jiang Li reluctantly exchanged a few words with He Yan before letting go of his hand and walking towards Zhou Chao.
“Goodbye!” Zhou Chao waved to Hou Ting and the others before driving away.
“Let’s go home too, my dear Miss He!”
