As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

“Okay.”

“You got up early to catch a flight. Take a rest for now, and I’ll wake you up when we get there.” Jiang Li nodded in agreement and adjusted her seat, closing her eyes for a short nap.

In the bustling daytime of Modu, with heavy traffic on the roads, by the time Zhou Chao arrived at Huang Mansion’s private restaurant, an hour had already passed.

“All Li, wake up!” Zhou Chao gently shook Jiang Li’s shoulder, rousing her from her slumber.

“Hmm, Brother Chao, did we arrive?” Jiang Li, like a sleepy kitten, awakened from her dreams and stretched lazily.

“We’re here. Let’s go.” Zhou Chao ruffled her hair a bit before opening the car door and getting out.

Jiang Li smoothed out her hair, which Zhou Chao had mussed up earlier, and followed him.

“The decor here is so beautiful!” Jiang Li, holding Zhou Chao’s hand, was captivated by the interior design of Huang Mansion.

“Let’s have our meal first, and then we will go back to rest,” Zhou Chao suggested with a serious tone when discussing their plans, causing Jiang Li to playfully roll her eyes at him.

Upon entering their reserved private dining room, Zhou Chao noticed it had been decorated with colorful flowers and balloons, creating a vibrant and eye-catching atmosphere.

“Wow, is this your little surprise for me? Thank you so much, Brother Chao!” Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled as she admired the dazzling decorations.

“As long as you like it.” Zhou Chao felt grateful for Qin Fen’s thoughtful gesture. He didn’t go into detail but simply mentioned that his girlfriend was visiting Modu, and Qin Fen had taken care of everything so seamlessly. He knew he would need to show his appreciation later on.

Jiang Li took a few photos of them together, then sat down. It didn’t take long for a waiter to arrive with the dishes. Although there were only seven courses, Zhou Chao could tell that a lot of thought had gone into it.

Each dish used top-quality ingredients, and the chef had clearly put in a lot of effort. It seemed that everything had been arranged in advance.

“Let’s eat; it won’t taste as good when it gets cold,” Zhou Chao said, watching Jiang Li, who was already eager to dig in.

“Sure.” With that, Jiang Li started eating, and Zhou Chao smiled and joined the feast as well.

“Are you full now?” Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li, who had just put down her chopsticks.

“Mmm, it was so delicious!” Jiang Li lightly licked her lips, savoring the taste of the exquisite dishes they had just enjoyed.

“Let’s go. There will be plenty of chances to eat here in the future!” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao’s mischievous expression and knew he was up to something.

“Alright, let’s head back and rest.”

They left the private dining room, and just as Zhou Chao was about to pay the bill, he was informed that it had already been taken care of. Zhou Chao smiled at this and turned to lead Jiang Li out.

Once they got into the car, the engine roared to life, and Zhou Chao drove away from Huang Mansion towards The Palms Residence.

“Brother Chao, are you still staying at The Palms Residence?”

“Yeah! What’s up?”

“I want to take some photos tonight!” Zhou Chao’s thoughts started to wander as he imagined the upcoming opportunities, especially when the pool was open. He couldn’t help but grin.

“Brother Chao, you’re daydreaming with a drooling mouth!” Jiang Li teased him as she noticed Zhou Chao wiping his mouth with his hand, only to find nothing there. She had played a little prank on him.

“All, 1 knew you were up to no good!” Jiang Li looked mischievous as she taunted Zhou Chao.

“You’ll see when we get back!” Not long after, Zhou Chao drove into the underground parking garage of The Palms Residence.

“We’re here, let’s get out!” Jiang Li opened her door and stepped out.

Zhou Chao retrieved their luggage from the trunk, gave Jiang Li a meaningful look, and then linked his arm with hers as they headed towards the elevator.

As soon as they entered the apartment, Zhou Chao pushed the luggage into the living room and pulled Jiang Li, who was holding onto his arm, into his embrace.

Zhou Chao leaned down and kissed Jiang Li’s sweet, soft, jelly-like lips passionately. His hands began to explore her body.

“Mmm… that’s enough for now. Let’s rest first. We’ll have dinner later, and my belly is already full!” Jiang Li blushed and spoke coyly.

“Alright, you go take a shower and get some rest!” Zhou Chao gave her a pat. He wasn’t in a hurry to be intimate with her. After all, it was still early in the evening.

Zhou Chao lay on the sofa, watching Jiang Li’s retreating figure. A faint smile played on his lips.

While lying on the sofa, Zhou Chao took out his phone and called Big Bro Li Yang.

“Second Brother, what’s up? Need something?”

“Big Bro, I want to visit Uncle. Do you know if he’s available?”

“Hmm? What do you want with the old man? If you need something, you can ask me.”

“Ask you? You can’t handle the matter! It’ll be a while before you’re in charge!” Zhou Chao’s playful tone made Li Yang feel uncomfortable for a moment.

“Fu*kyou! It’s a matter of time. Just tell me roughly what it’s about!” Li Yang was still curious about why Zhou Chao wanted to contact his father.

“Your family has a shipping company, right? I have a batch of machinery equipment on the island, and it’s incredibly important. So, I thought I’d ask your dad for a favor. Plus, we’ve been brothers for so long, and I haven’t had the chance to visit your old man yet. It’s a good opportunity to meet him!” “Hmm, okay. Let me give my old man a call. When are you available to meet?”

“The sooner, the better. Time is quite tight.”

“Alright, I got it. At the latest, tomorrow should work. If my old man agrees, we’ll arrange for a cargo ship to bring your stuff back.”

“Great, I’ll keep that in mind.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and started thinking about his recent plans and arrangements, making sure there were no oversights.

“I wonder what stage Peng City is at now.” Zhou Chao sent a message to Qin Qingchun to inquire about the current progress.

It didn’t take long before he received a call from Qin Qingchun. She informed him that the factory had been completely demolished, and they were now starting to build the new foundation.

Zhou Chao calculated that in about ten days, the main framework would be mostly completed.

“Brother Chao, do you want to come up and take a nap together?” Jiang Li’s voice interrupted Zhou Chao’s contemplation. He looked up to see Jiang Li, her hair still slightly wet, wearing a black transparent nightgown, the same one she had bought last time.

“You little temptress, are you playing with fire?”

“Hehe, let’s see if I can extinguish that fire of yours.” Hearing Jiang Li’s teasing words, Zhou Chao didn’t waste any time. He jumped up from the sofa and hurried upstairs.

Jiang Li watched Zhou Chao’s eager expression, covering her mouth as she chuckled. Then, she walked briskly into the bedroom..
