“Two tigers love to dance, and the little rabbit obediently pulls out carrots. 1 learned with the little duck…”

“Hello-” Zhou Chao answered the phone groggily, lying on the bed.

Honey, are you still sleeping? The sun is already shining. Get up, we’ve arrived in Rong City!”

Zhou Chao, who was initially blurry, jumped up from the bed at the voice coming from the other end of the phone.

“Wifey, you’re in Rong City? Where are you right now?”

“We’re currently in a hotel in Wuhou District. I called you as soon as we arrived!” Hearing Jiang Li’s tired voice, Zhou Chao felt a tug at his heart.

“Wait for me, I’m coming right over!” Zhou Chao quickly put on his clothes and headed out.

“Mmm-”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao knocked on Wang Feng’s door.

 

Click!

“Boss, what’s the matter? Is something urgent?”

“Where are the car keys? Give them to me; I need them urgently!” Wang Feng hesitated for a moment upon hearing this but quickly ran back to his room.

“Boss, do you want me to go with you?” Wang Feng handed the keys to Zhou Chao while putting on his own clothes.

“I’m going to see my wife. Do you want to come with me?” Zhou Chao stared at Wang Feng with a menacing look, sending shivers down his spine.

“N-No, 1 won’t go!”

“Hmph!” Zhou Chao snorted heavily and left with the keys.

“Phew, that scared me! The boss’ look just now was like he wanted to eat me!”

Wang Feng leaned against the door and wiped the cold sweat that had formed due to nervousness.

“I’m smirking; I’m smirking!” Meanwhile, Zhou Chao was driving the Phantom on the road. The closer he got to Wuhou District, the more excited he became.

After driving for a little over half an hour, the car steadily stopped at the hotel where Jiang Li was staying. In the parking lot, Zhou Chao also saw his Karlmann King. However, upon seeing several dents on the car’s body and damage to the front, he couldn’t help but gasp.

The largest dent was on the car door of the car body, and most of the doors were dented inward. Thinking about the hardness of the Karlmann King’s body, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Zhou Chao hurriedly ran into the hotel. As soon as he entered the elevator, his heart began to race.

It had been almost a month since they last saw each other, and he didn’t know how Jiang Li was doing. His mood became increasingly anxious.

“Ding!” When the elevator door opened, Zhou Chao walked out quickly, looking around until he saw the room number Jiang Li had sent him.

He stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and gently knocked.

“Coming!” Jiang Li’s voice came from inside the room. As the footsteps approached, Zhou Chao’s heart also began to race.

“Click!” The door opened, and Zhou Chao saw Jiang Li wearing a bathrobe, and holding a towel to dry her hair.

“You’ve lost weight!” Zhou Chao gently caressed Jiang Li’s pretty face. She had lost a bit of weight compared to before, and her skin had tanned slightly, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

“Did you miss me?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Zhou Chao could no longer restrain his heart. He pulled Jiang Li into his arms, found her lips, and kissed her passionately. At the same time, he didn’t forget to close the door with his foot.

“Um, you’re so naughty! You smell bad; go wash up quickly!” Jiang Li finally managed to catch her breath and playfully pounded Zhou Chao on the chest with her small hand.

“Let’s go wash together!” Zhou Chao said, picking up Jiang Li and heading towards the bathroom. Jiang Li naturally wrapped her arms around Zhou Chao’s neck.

Perhaps it was their longing for each other, Zhou Chao gradually expanded their battlefield from the bathroom to the living room, the sofa, the bay window, the table, until finally the bed. They continued their passionate encounter for several hours, only stopping at Jiang Li’s pleading.

Zhou Chao gently kissed the sleeping Jiang Li on the forehead and closed his eyes to rest as well. After all, working hard for several hours was quite exhausting.

“Knock, knock, knock!” The knocking on the door woke Zhou Chao up. He withdrew his hand cautiously and put on a bathrobe, tiptoeing towards the door.

 

Click!” Zhou Chao opened the door and saw Lin Wu, who had accompanied Jiang Li on the research trip.

“Boss, why are you here?” Lin Wu looked surprised.

“What, can’t I come to see my wife? You’re making a big fuss. Knocking on the door like that, don’t you know you might disturb us while we’re resting!” Zhou Chao glared at Lin Wu without hiding his annoyance, and Lin Wu quickly understood.

“Hehe! I came to invite the lady boss to have a meal. If the boss were really here, even if 1 had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn’t dare to knock on the door!”

Go, go, go. Go have your meal. When you come back, bring some milk and fruits or something. Don’t knock on the door; send me a message!” Zhou Chao warned him once again.

“I got it, boss. Take care of yourself!” Lin Wu smirked and nodded before turning and hurrying away.

“Lin Wu, you’re getting cheekier!” Zhou Chao chuckled as he watched Lin Wu’s back and then closed the door and returned to the room.

He carefully lay back on the bed, lying on his side, and propped his head up to look at Jiang Li. After a while, Zhou Chao saw Jiang Li’s eyes blink involuntarily, and he knew that she had just woken up and was pretending to be asleep.

Zhou Chao grinned mischievously, pretending not to notice, and his big hand reached out to explore the soft, tender curves of Jiang Li’s body. After a while, Jiang Li reacted.

“All-” Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Li opened her eyes, her big watery eyes looking at Zhou Chao.

“You’re such a troublemaker!” Feeling Zhou Chao’s increasingly powerful hand, Jiang Li couldn’t help but whimper.

Zhou Chao couldn’t hold back anymore, he directly lifted the blanket covering Jiang Li, and seeing Zhou Chao’s mischief, Jiang Li lightly patted him and tried to resist, but quickly her defenses were breached by Zhou Chao.

For a while, her body succumbed to Zhou Chao, and Jiang Li could only let him have his way.

It lasted for half an hour, and Zhou Chao finally released Jiang Li. By now, Jiang Li was drenched in sweat, and even her hair was tangled together. It was easy to imagine how hard they had worked.

“Hubby, carry me to the shower!” Jiang Li sat up on the bed, and the blanket quietly slipped off, revealing her pure white skin.

“You lazy little thing!” Zhou Chao playfully flicked Jiang Li’s nose and then carried her to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard, and Zhou Chao had taken advantage of the situation while they were in the shower, which left Jiang Li feeling indignant.

After a while, they both finished showering. Jiang Li sat in a chair while Zhou Chao meticulously blow-dried her hair.

“Wifey, how did your research go this time?”

After waiting for a while without a response from Jiang Li, Zhou Chao walked to the front and found that Jiang Li’s eyes were already filled with tears.

“Wifey, don’t cry. What’s wrong? Tell me!”

Jiang Li immediately hugged Zhou Chao, and tears started streaming down her face.

“Hubby, I almost couldn’t see you again! Waaah.”

Zhou Chao’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness upon hearing this, but it quickly disappeared. He patted Jiang Li’s back to comfort her.

“Wifey, what happened? Tell your husband. Who hurt you? Look, you’ve cried so much, and my precious has become less cute!” As he spoke, he took a few pieces of tissue from the nearby table and carefully wiped away Jiang Li’s tears.

Jiang Li sniffled a few times and wiped her tears with the tissue. She leaned against Zhou Chao’s chest and took a while to calm down.

“We encountered a landslide on the road in northern Sichuan. Our whole car got buried underneath. Thankfully, we were driving your off-road vehicle; otherwise, 1 might not have seen you again!” She started crying again while talking.

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past now! In the future, we won’t go on such trips. We’ll just stay at home, alright?”contemporary romance

“No!” Jiang Li suddenly sat up straight and said seriously, “Honey, you didn’t see it. Many children there don’t go to school, and their homes are still those old thatched houses. If it rains heavily, they could still leak. Especially in some small mountain villages, they live on cliffs, and transportation is inconvenient. You don’t know, some little kids who are seven or eight years old have to walk for hours on mountain trails with someone around ten years old leading them. They even have to use a cable car to cross a river. A slight mistake could lead to a fall. At that time, I stood in front of the cable car for half an hour without daring to get on. You have to understand, they’re only a few years old, and they have to risk their lives to learn every day. That’s why 1 want to do something within my power for them.”

As she spoke, Jiang Li’s eyes were no longer filled with tears but with an indescribable emotion.

“No matter what you want to do, I’ll support you! But 1 don’t want you to personally take such risks. You have to remember that you’re not alone; you have me!”

“Okay!” The two of them hugged tightly, as if time had paused in that moment. They maintained that position for a while.

“Ding dong!” The sound of a message on Jiang Li’s phone brought them back to reality.

Zhou Chao gently released Jiang Li, picked up the phone from a distance, and saw that it was a message from Lin Wu.

“Wifey, wait a moment. I’ll go get something.”

H

Sure.” Jiang Li nodded and got up to go to the bathroom to wash her face.

When Zhou Chao opened the door, he saw Lin Wu standing at the doorway holding two large bags.

Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao’s stern face and didn’t say a word. He handed the bags to Zhou Chao, and as he was about to enter the room, he turned back to Lin Wu and said, “Wait until I get back. I’ll deal with you then. You actually didn’t inform me about such a big incident. It seems like you don’t take me, your boss, seriously.”

“Boss, actually…” Lin Wu was about to explain, but Zhou Chao closed the door, leaving Lin Wu looking at the locked door with a wry smile, sighing deeply.

“All, if only 1 hadn’t listened to the lady boss. In the end, the one who suffered the most was me. Oh my god, I’m really unlucky!”

While he had his thoughts, he decided to explain to the boss when he returned to Modu. He shook his head and walked to his own room.

“Wifey, let’s eat!” Zhou Chao entered the bedroom carrying the bags, and Jiang Li was sitting on the bed.

“Who bought these?”

“I had Lin Wu buy them!” Jiang Li got up from the bed and walked over to Zhou Chao.

“Hubby, can you grant me a request?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with a pitiful expression.

“Go ahead, what is it?”

Jiang Li hugged Zhou Chao’s arm and shook it gently. “Just promise me this.”

“Alright, alright, 1 promise.” Feeling the softness on his arm, Zhou Chao gave in.

H

Just don’t blame Lin Wu. It was my decision not to have him tell you. 1 was afraid you’d worry, so please don’t blame him, okay?”

Zhou Chao sighed and nodded.

“Okay, I won’t blame him..”
