The next morning, Zhou Chao woke up early. Looking at Jiang Li in his arms, he realized that she had been tired from the previous night. He carefully got out of bed, got dressed, and tiptoed out of the bedroom, preparing to make a delicious breakfast for Jiang Li.

Zhou Chao looked at the groceries he had bought, planning to cook some steak and eggs and a bit of millet porridge. He wasted no time and got started.

Before long, a faint aroma wafted from the kitchen.

“Ah Li, it’s time to wake up,” Zhou Chao softly called out to Jiang Li by her ear.

“Mmm, I want to sleep a bit more.”

“Didn’t you mention you wanted to visit Leizi’s house yesterday? If you don’t wake up soon, it’ll be noon soon!”

“Alright!” Jiang Li lifted the covers, inadvertently revealing some of her fair skin.

“Hmm, this looks delicious!” Steak paired with millet porridge was a delightful combination.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

“Brother Chao, your phone!” Jiang Li called out to Zhou Chao from the kitchen while he was washing dishes.

“Who’s calling?”

“Salesman Xiao Wang!”

“Could you pick it up for me?”

“Sure!” Jiang Li immediately answered the call.

“Mr. Zhou, hello! This is Xiao Wang from the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. Your G500, which you ordered earlier, has arrived in Fuzhou. May 1 inquire when you’ll be available to receive it?”

“He’s washing dishes; can you hold on a moment?” Xiao Wang heard a female voice on the other end and hesitated for a moment, realizing that she was probably Zhou Chao’s wife.

“Mrs. Zhou, shall I call back in a while?” Xiao Wang’s response pleased Jiang Li, and she was about to hang up when she saw Zhou Chao coming out of the kitchen.

“No need, he’s here!” She handed the phone to Zhou Chao and happily went back to the bedroom.

“Xiao Wang, is the car in Fuzhou now?”

“Yes, Mr. Zhou, and I’m here too.”

“Alright, where are you right now?”

“We’re right by the Jinke Grand Hotel, next to Liangjiang Square on Binjiang Road!” After a brief look around, Little Wang shared the address with Zhou Chao.

“Okay, wait for me there. 1’11 be there shortly!” After saying this, Zhou Chao hung up the phone and prepared to change his clothes before heading out.

However, as soon as he walked in the door, he saw Jiang Li undressing. With a mischievous grin, he approached her from behind and embraced her.

“You naughty rascal. Go get dressed, so we can head out!” Jiang Li blushed and said, feeling the wandering touch of Zhou Chao’s hands, making her legs feel a bit weak.

Jiang Li leaned against Zhou Chao, and he reluctantly released her, realizing that time was running late.

“Hehe!” Zhou Chao chuckled mischievously and started changing his clothes. Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him.

“Let’s go! We shouldn’t keep people waiting too long!” After changing their clothes, they left the house.

Zhou Chao drove his Mercedes-Benz G63 towards Xiao Wang’s location. Zhou Chao lived in the upper part of the city, and it took him about ten minutes to reach the place Xiao Wang had mentioned.

“Mr. Zhou, you’re here!” Seeing Zhou Chao’s car approaching, Xiao Wang quickly got out of his vehicle. As Zhou Chao parked his car, Xiao Wang greeted him.

“Yes, thank you for making this trip in person. I appreciate it.”

“It’s my pleasure, Mr. Zhou.” Xiao Wang nodded in response and walked towards the G500.

“Please unload it directly.” Zhou Chao didn’t waste any time, knowing that they still had to go to Lei Mingtang’s place later.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang called over the workers to unload the Mercedes-Benz G500. He also brought a bag of documents.

“Mr. Zhou, here are the relevant documents and keys for your car. Please take a look!” Zhou Chao briefly examined them and then placed the documents directly in the passenger-side compartment of the G500.

“Okay, thank you for your help! Why don’t you all go have some breakfast?” Zhou Chao then took out his phone and transferred 5000 yuan to Xiao Wang. “Thank you, Mr. Zhou!” Xiao Wang expressed his gratitude upon receiving the notification.

“No problem!” Zhou Chao turned and headed towards his own car.

“All Li, wait for me for a moment. I’ll park these two Mercedes G500S in the hotel’s parking lot!”

“Why are you parking them here if you’re giving one to your childhood friend?” Jiang Li looked puzzled.

“Oh, 1 forgot to tell you. The place where they’re getting married tomorrow is right here!” Zhou Chao patted his head, realizing he hadn’t informed Jiang Li yet.

“Hmph!” Seeing Jiang Li’s sulking expression, Zhou Chao decided to give in. He leaned over from the driver’s seat, stretching across to the passenger seat, and planted a kiss on Jiang Li’s lips.

“Quick, go!” Jiang Li pushed Zhou Chao away with her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Zhou Chao took the keys and headed towards the G500. He drove into the hotel’s parking lot.

In less than 10 minutes, Zhou Chao returned.

“I’ll make a quick call to Leizi. We need to decorate the wedding car later, and this car will be the lead car for their wedding tomorrow!” Zhou Chao sat in the car, took out his phone, and after informing Jiang Li, he dialed Lei Mingtang’s number.

It took about 5 or 6 seconds for the call to connect.

“Hello, Brother Chao!”

“Leizi, where are you? I’m coming over!”

“Bro, I’m at home. I’m swamped right now; I’m running around like crazy. Come over quickly!”

“Alright, got it!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, looked at Jiang Li, and then drove towards Lei Mingtang’s home.

Lei Mingtang’s house was located in Jiangdong. The house had been recently renovated. The last time Zhou Chao visited, Lei Mingtang showed him the layout and decoration of the house, and it was quite nice—a little over 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large balcony. In the small city of Fuzhou, it was considered very good.

Zhou Chao drove directly into Lei Mingtang’s residential complex. There were plenty of parking spaces available, indicating that not many people had moved in yet.

“Let’s go! Let’s head up!” After getting out of the car, Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and walked towards the elevator.

Once they got out of the elevator, they saw a festive corridor with decorations. Zhou Chao followed the red carpet on the floor and found that the door was open. Many people were busy inside.

“Brother Chao, you’re here!” Lei Mingtang, who was blowing up balloons at the entrance, saw Zhou Chao and quickly stood up to greet him.

“Is this my sister-in-law?” Lei Mingtang noticed Zhou Chao was holding a beautiful woman’s hand.

“Yes, this is Jiang Li. Ah Li, this is my childhood friend, Lei Mingtang.”

“Hello, sister-in-law!” Lei Mingtang scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

“Hello, Leizi!”

“Come on in and have a seat. Most things are already prepared, and in the afternoon, I’ll have to trouble Brother Chao to help take care of decorating the car with flowers.”

“Why are you being so polite? Just tell me the location later, and I’ll handle it myself!” Zhou Chao said as he led Jiang Li into the house, where he began to assess the decor and the newly arranged room.

“Are you Zhou Chao?” While admiring the river view, Zhou Chao suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned around to see a middle-aged man looking surprised.

“Uncle Lei, long time no see!” This person was none other than Lei Mingtang’s father.

“When did you come back?”

“I just returned before the New Year.” Lei’s father was about to say something else when someone called him.

“You have a good time; I’ve got something to take care of.” He turned and departed.

“Brother Chao, Leizi and his dad have identical personalities!” Zhou Chao scratched his head, unsure of how to reply..
