The next day, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li slept in until around 10 o’clock. When they woke up, they saw the sun shining brightly outside the window. Jiang Li sat up in bed suddenly, and the blanket slid down her body, revealing the beauty of her bare body.

“What’s the rush?” Zhou Chao asked curiously as he watched Jiang Li sit up abruptly.

“It’s already past 10 o’clock, and 1’11 be late for work if 1 go now. It’s all your fault!” Jiang Li pouted, and Zhou Chao couldn’t help but extend his right hand and playfully poke her mouth with his index finger.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li immediately took Zhou Chao’s finger into her mouth, and her tongue lightly brushed against his fingertip.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s eager expression, she playfully released his finger and prepared to get out of bed. However, Zhou Chao held onto her shapely waist from behind.

Zhou Chao hugged Jiang Li from behind and whispered softly in her ear, “You can’t just tease me and leave. It doesn’t work that way.”

As he spoke, he moved his hands seductively, causing Jiang Li to feel weak.

“Hubby, let’s not do it now. I’m still a little uncomfortable from last night,” Jiang Li said as she looked at Zhou Chao, her face still slightly flushed.

Hearing Jiang Li’s discomfort, Zhou Chao quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Are you okay? What’s bothering you?”

Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with a hint of embarrassment, her face turning slightly red, and whispered a few words into his ear. Zhou Chao’s eyes widened as he looked down.

“Don’t be naughty. I’m getting up now. I have to go to the company in the afternoon. We made some progress on what you talked about yesterday. Today, we’ll discuss it further and finalize our departure time,” Jiang Li said as she got out of bed and started recounting the details of yesterday’s meeting. She walked toward the bathroom as she spoke.

Zhou Chao also got up from the bed, took out a cigarette from the nearby cabinet, and started smoking on the bed.

“All Li, be careful when you go out this time. Wherever you go, make sure to have someone with you. I’ve arranged for Lin Wu to accompany you, along with a female bodyguard. Stay close to them at all times,” Zhou Chao said, looking serious.

“I understand. I promise to have someone with me wherever 1 go. And there won’t be any trouble. You can rest assured,” Jiang Li replied earnestly as she continued to get ready in the bathroom.

“Where’s your first destination?”

“The usual place, Rain City.”

“Take a look at Xiao Feng and see if he has found a girlfriend. If not, I’ll help him find one.”

“I got it!” Shortly after, Jiang Li finished getting ready. She changed into a youthful and beautiful outfit, kissed Zhou Chao, and then headed out.

“I’m off to work!” she said as she walked out.

Zhou Chao quickly called out, “Be safe on the road!”

“I understand!” came Ah Li’s reply from downstairs, and soon the sound of the door closing echoed through the house.

Zhou Chao sat on the bed, stretched lazily, and then got up. He opened the blanket and headed straight to the bathroom. It didn’t take long for the sound of running water to fill the room.

“Ready to go!” Zhou Chao had already finished showering and changed into a blue-black short-sleeved shirt and pants. He spent a minute admiring himself in front of the mirror, grabbed his phone and keys, and left the house.

He looked at his cool Lamborghini Veneno parked outside the entrance of The Palms Residence and drove towards Yinyin Road in Pudong New Area, where the two villas he had signed for yesterday were not far apart.

As Zhou Chao arrived at the gate of Dongjiao No. 1, he was stopped. After all, this place was inhabited by influential and powerful people. There were only 26 detached villas in Dongjiao No. 1, and it was easy to imagine the status of its residents.

“Hello, sir, may I ask who you’re here to see?” A young man in a white shirt stood by Zhou Chao’s car and asked respectfully.

“I’m the owner here, and I came to take a look today.” Zhou Chao casually handed over the property certificate he had taken from the system’s storage to the security guard.

The security guard took the property certificate from Zhou Chao’s hand, opened it, and when he saw the area written on it, his eyes were filled with astonishment. However, he quickly regained his composure.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but this property certificate belongs to Huazhou Junting next door!”

Zhou Chao took a look and indeed, it was the property certificate for Huazhou Junting. He quickly apologized to the security guard, “I’m sorry, I grabbed the wrong one. I wasn’t paying attention!”

He hastily handed the security guard another property certificate, and the guard checked it, confirming that it was indeed for Dongjiao No. 1.

“Sir, please wait for a moment. Let me confirm this. 1’11 help you enter the car plate into the system.”

“No problem, go ahead,” Zhou Chao replied. The security guard took the property certificate and hurried to the security booth. However, in less than two minutes, he returned with the property certificate in hand.

“Sir, here’s your property certificate. Do you need us to show you the way?”

Zhou Chao took the property certificate and after a moment of thought, declined the security guard’s offer, “No need, 1 can find my way on my own.” “Welcome back, owner!” Zhou Chao nodded and drove into the complex. The gate opened automatically.

Zhou Chao drove around for two to three minutes before finding the location of Villa 13.

The exterior had a typical Tuscan-style design. Zhou Chao looked at it from the outside and then headed towards the front door.

When he saw the fingerprint lock on the door, Zhou Chao hesitated for a moment and muttered, “Could it be my fingerprint?”

He extended his index finger and pressed it against the lock. The door opened instantly. As he entered, he saw a massive open-air garden with a large swimming pool next to it, estimated to be about 60 square meters.

Directly in front of the entrance was an empty space, likely for parking. Trees lined both sides of the wall, providing privacy without blocking natural light.

Zhou Chao entered the villa and discovered that it was fully furnished, covered with dust covers. He inspected every corner, and the interior was more luxurious than The Palms Residence. He couldn’t wait to see what the 2,000-plus square meter villa in Huazhou Junting looked like.

Without wasting any time, Zhou Chao left the villa, closed the door behind him, and drove out from the back gate. In just under five minutes, he arrived at Huazhou Junting. Despite driving the Venom GT, he was stopped again. Zhou Chao repeated the same process as before and smoothly entered the community.

When Zhou Chao found his villa, his eyes lit up. He gazed at the vast courtyard and felt an immediate urge to move in.

Upon entering the living room, Zhou Chao was captivated by the luxurious European-style decor. A massive chandelier hung from the ceiling, with a glass design that added an artistic touch.

Zhou Chao started exploring the villa. The total floor area was over 1,300 square meters, including the basement of more than 700 square meters. He spent a full half hour getting a rough idea of the entire villa’s layout.

“Moving in, I’ll move in tomorrow!” Zhou Chao sat on the sofa, gazing out at the vast garden through the window. His heart had already settled here..
