In the evening!

“Tomorrow around eleven in the morning, I’ll be at Fog City Airport. Don’t forget, okay?”

Guo Yan heard that Zhou Chao was coming to pick her up tomorrow, and her face lit up with a smile.

“Bro, don’t worry, I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”

“Alright, I won’t keep you. 1 have to prepare some delicious food for sister-in-law. Bye!” After saying that, Zhou Chao hung up the phone and put on the apron hanging on the wall.

Just as Zhou Chao was preparing to showcase his culinary skills, he saw Jiang Li secretly taking photos of him with her phone.

“What’s this? Envious that your husband is capable at work and the kitchen?” He even struck a couple of poses for Jiang Li to capture.

Hearing Jiang Li’s teasing, Zhou Chao playfully knocked her head a couple of times.

“You’re just being vain. I’m curious why the men from Fog City and Shudu all have the appearance of ‘family cooks.’ Haven’t you seen the recent short videos on Mou Yin with lots of these sketches? They crack me up! And there’s Fog City house husband, hahaha!”

Hearing the teasing from Jiang Li, Zhou Chao gave her a disapproving look, then quickly walked up and gently tapped her on the head.

“Let me see what you just filmed, did you make fun of something?”

“I won’t show you, nope!” Jiang Li said as she ran away with her phone, leaving Zhou Chao momentarily surprised.

Zhou Chao watched her retreating figure and couldn’t help but smile. “Little girl, let’s see how I’ll deal with you later!”

After some time, the kitchen filled with rhythmic sounds. Jiang Li, sitting on the sofa, looked towards the kitchen and then down at her phone.

“Being so handsome is also troublesome. I need to add some ugly special effects to make Brother Chao stand out, and with this exclusive background music… There we go!”

After tinkering for a while, Jiang Li edited the video and posted it on a social media platform.

An hour passed quickly, and at some point, Jiang Li had fallen asleep on the sofa.

When Zhou Chao finished preparing dinner and came out of the kitchen, he saw Jiang Li peacefully sleeping, with even a tear of happiness at the corner of her mouth.

“This girl dreams about delicious food even while sleeping.”

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smirk and reached out to pinch Jiang Li’s delicate nose. She woke up shortly after.

Seeing the mischievous Zhou Chao, Jiang Li playfully punched his arm.

“I was having a dream about eating something delicious, and you had to wake me up.”

“You’d better wipe the drool off your mouth; your clothes are almost soaked.”

“No way!” Jiang Li said as she wiped her mouth with her hand, but it turned out to be quite wet, and her cheeks blushed slightly.

“Brother Chao, you’re getting more and more outrageous. You deliberately played a trick on me and made me look bad. Next time, 1’11 report you to Third Aunt!” Jiang Li said and walked towards the bathroom.

As Jiang Li left, Zhou Chao realized that this girl had used the old trick of “complaining to a higher authority” and turned the tables on him!

Shaking his head, he walked towards the kitchen and brought out the carefully prepared dishes. When he had set the table, Jiang Li came out of the bathroom, looking calm and composed.

“You talk too much; the food has already gone cold!”

“I’m here, aren’t I? Mmm, it’s so delicious! All, it’s hot!” Zhou Chao said as he picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and took a bite.

“Sit down and eat; no one’s going to snatch it from you.”

Watching Jiang Li with the braised pork in her mouth, struggling between the desire to eat and the heat, Zhou Chao shook his head.

“It’s because your cooking is too delicious; otherwise, 1 wouldn’t react like this.”

“All, right, right, it’s my fault for being such a good cook. I won’t cook next time; I’ll let Aunt Wang come back and cook.”

“No way!” Jiang Li’s face changed immediately upon hearing this, and she pouted, looking like she was about to cry, gazing at Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao, holding his ingredients, had a mischievous look on his face, and Jiang Li could tell he was teasing her.

“Brother Chao, you’re becoming more and more mischievous, hmph!” She huffed and concentrated on eating.

“By the way, we might have to wake up early tomorrow. We’ll need to pick up Guo Yan in Fog City and then head to Star City.”

“Got it.” Jiang Li nodded, her movements quickening.

The two of them fell silent and focused on their meal.

After dinner, Zhou Chao quickly cleaned up the kitchen and saw Jiang Li playing with her phone on the sofa, occasionally bursting into laughter.

“What are you watching? Is it that funny?” Zhou Chao sat down next to Jiang Li and pulled her into his arms.

“Hehe, it’s the video I filmed earlier. 1 posted it on a social media platform, and now it has thousands of likes. Not bad, huh?” Jiang Li even playfully patted Zhou Chao’s thigh.

“Be gentle; your future happiness depends on him.”

Zhou Chao’s words made Jiang Li blush instantly. She muttered a few words under her breath, too soft for even Zhou Chao’s ears to catch.

“It’s getting late. My lady, shall we retire?” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li with a mischievous smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Li knew exactly what naughty idea Zhou Chao had in mind but still nodded gently. Zhou Chao, excited, held Jiang Li’s hand and led her upstairs.

As they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way

Jiang Li spent a full two hours, and by the end, everything had melted away in her heart.

The next day, at 7:55 in the morning.

“Do you want to go to the rest area and take a nap? The flight from Jingdu to Fog City is about two hours.” At this point, Zhou Chao and the others were already on the plane..
