The next morning, Zhou Chaosheng’s parents came downstairs together. As they walked down the stairs, they unexpectedly saw Zhou Chaosheng sitting on the sofa watching the morning news. Zhou Yuanbo and He Xiaowei exchanged a glance and could see the unease in each other’s eyes. Their son’s return this time was too sudden. Normally, he would at least inform them before coming home, rather than catching them off guard like this. Zhou Yuanbo gripped the handrail, his dark eyes beneath his glasses lowering slightly as a trace of complexity flashed through them. As a father, how could he not understand his own son? The only reason Zhou Chaosheng would do this was to give them a warning in advance, preparing them for the bombshell he was about to drop. Based on the reports from the people he had stationed around Zhou Chaosheng, Zhou Yuanbo already had some suspicions but had yet to confirm them. After all, this matter was significant. No matter what, as long as he hadn’t heard his so...

"Are you going back to Jinzhou in a few days?" "Yeah, on the 16th." "Have you bought your ticket?" "Mm-hmm." Zhou Chaosheng lowered his eyelashes and hugged the other person tighter. "Alright then." Jiang Yuanye chuckled. "Can't bear to part with me?" Zhou Chaosheng answered honestly, "Yeah, I can't." Jiang Yuanye was briefly stunned. He rarely saw Zhou Chaosheng being this sentimental. He joked, "See? This is karma. Who told you to kick me out of Jingdu back then? If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have to leave in three days. I’d just stay here and cling to you for a lifetime." Back then, Rongge’s headquarters was based in Jingdu, but later, it was forced out by the capital power Zhou Chaosheng wielded, relocating to Jinzhou instead. "It was my fault," Zhou Chaosheng said. Hearing that, Jiang Yuanye was even more surprised. He didn’t argue back? Zhou Chaosheng gently rubbed his head agai...

On the 16th, Zhou Chaosheng arrived at the appointment on time. To prevent his father from taking photos or using other means to sow discord between him and Jiang Yuanye, Zhou Chaosheng had already told Jiang Yuanye about this matter that afternoon. Jiang Yuanye understood and did not ask any further questions The restaurant had an elegant atmosphere, with soft, flowing music playing in the background. Zhou Chaosheng arrived five minutes early and sat at the reserved table. Five minutes later, Shen Suyi, Uncle Shen’s daughter, entered the restaurant on time. "Chaosheng-ge." A pleasant female voice approached. Zhou Chaosheng lifted his eyes and saw the woman in a red dress, her stunning beauty immediately drawing the attention of nearly all the men in the restaurant. She carried a natural grace, as if she was born to navigate high society with ease. Zhou Chaosheng stood up and politely pulled out a chair for her, greeting her with a courteous smile. "Jiayi, long t...

After bidding farewell to the college students, the two slowly merged into the bustling night market near the school. The marketplace was noisy and crowded, shoulder to shoulder. Due to the press of people, Jiang Yuanye and Zhou Chaosheng, who had initially kept some distance between them, inevitably brushed shoulders. Both held their breath, neither making a move, until someone barreled toward them. When Jiang Yuanye remained still, Zhou Chaosheng instinctively reached out, pulling him into his arms. Laughter, hawking calls, and casual chatter filled their ears, but in the midst of all the noise, Zhou Chaosheng could only hear the breath of the person close to him. A second later, a low chuckle rumbled from Jiang Yuanye’s throat, vibrating through the thin fabric between them and landing clearly against Zhou Chaosheng’s chest. “Chaosheng, you’ve gone soft.” The reckless passerby brushed past them, stirring up a small gust of wind—one that carried the warmth of that laughter s...

Aunt Guo was stunned for a moment, completely unable to believe what she had just heard. Her gaze remained fixed on their closely pressed shoulders for a long time before she finally snapped out of it when Jiang Yuanye called her twice. She forced a smile to ease the awkwardness. “Ah… Xiao Zhou, are you still in school?” Before Zhou Chaosheng could respond, Jiang Yuanye burst into laughter. “Auntie, do I look like like a pedophille? He’s the same age as me, twenty-seven.” Aunt Guo was a little surprised. “Really? He doesn’t look it…” Zhou Chaosheng finally recovered from the loud beating of his heart and politely introduced himself, “Hello, my name is Zhou Chaosheng.” Aunt Guo repeated the name, her expression thoughtful. “That name sounds so familiar…” Jiang Yuanye glanced at the neighboring table, where a group of college students kept stealing glances at them. He quickly interrupted, “Auntie, we’ll have two bowls of wontons. One without scallions, garlic, ginger, or cilantr...
