“Second Brother, is this Wensi tofu?” Li Yang pointed at the dish that the waiter had just brought to the table.
“Yes, I tossed in some of the two big lobsters we caught earlier this afternoon. It might have a unique taste compared to what you’re used to back home, with a touch of seafood flavor. Go ahead, everyone, and give it a try.”
“Really? Wensi tofu? Young Master Zhou, are you really that skilled with a knife?” Qin Fen, skeptical, scooped up a small portion into his bowl.
Looking at the silky tofu in his bowl, Qin Fen promptly closed his mouth. After all, witnessing such knife skills was indeed a marvel.
“Zhou, you are truly amazing. I’ve only known you for two days, and I’ve already witnessed many of your miracles. It’s an honor to know you!”
“You’re too kind, Abdullah. How about trying some of our Huaxia’s delicacies?”
“I won’t hold back then!” He immediately served himself a bowl and started eating.
“Mmm, it’s really good. The taste is exquisite, melts in the mouth. I’ll have to find a professional chef from Huaxia when 1 return home!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed!”
The group enjoyed their meal, with Zhou Chao savoring cucumber in sesame sauce, accompanied by wild peppers, a taste of his hometown.
Originally, Zhou Chao had planned to prepare some hometown dishes, but the kitchen was stocked with mostly Western ingredients, and some dishes took too long to prepare, so he had to settle for a simpler meal.
After several rounds of toasts and a satisfying dinner, the group left the restaurant in high spirits. It was already past 9 pm, nearing 10 pm.
“Young Master Zhou, we’ll head back now!” Si Cong noticed that Zhou Chao seemed to have something to do and bid him farewell.
“Sure, you guys go ahead!”
Si Cong nodded and left with Qin Fen and others. Li Yang also returned to the hotel with Shen Lan and Guo Yan.
“Zhou, I’m leaving too. I’ll be heading back to my country early tomorrow morning. I’ve been out for nearly half a month, and there’s some business at home that 1 need to attend to. I won’t be able to accompany you anymore!”
“No problem. Whenever you have time in the future, feel free to visit Huaxia. I’ll take you to taste the delicacies of our country!”
“You said it, I’ll remember that!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t stand you up!”
After a brief exchange, Abdullah left with his female companion and bodyguards.
“Miles, tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock, bring your photography team to where I’m staying. The route has already been arranged, right?” After Abdullah had gone a distance, Zhou Chao turned his gaze to Miles, who had been quiet by his side.
“Boss, rest assured, everything is already set up. This photography studio is among the best in the world, so you can have complete confidence in us!”
“I understand. You and Lin Wu can go back and get some rest too. Tomorrow might be a busy day!”
“Yes, Boss!” Lin Wu and Miles replied in unison.
As they watched the two of them leave, Zhou Chao finally turned to the quiet Jiang Li, reaching out to hold her hand and said, “Let’s head back to the hotel, my dear little princess.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Chao finished speaking, Jiang Li jumped onto his back.
Let’s go!” Zhou Chao carried Jiang Li on his back, and they quickly headed towards the villa as if flying.
Jiang Li lay on Zhou Chao’s back, and there was a moment of wild excitement.
The next morning, as the sun rose from the sea, a ray of sunlight pierced through the glass French doors and gently fell onto Zhou Chao’s face.
“Mmm…” Feeling the slightly warm sensation on his face, Zhou Chao opened his eyes, still carrying a hint of drowsiness.
The sunlight in his eyes made him instinctively use his hand to shield them.
“Mmm, Brother Chao!” Jiang Li, in his arms, woke up too due to Zhou Chao’s movement, and she pressed herself closer to Zhou Chao.
“Did I wake you up? Do you want to sleep a bit longer?”
“What time is it?”
“It’s still early, not even seven o’clock. How about getting some more sleep?” However, as soon as Zhou Chao finished speaking, he felt Jiang Li’s little mouth misbehaving on his body, her tongue gently tracing his chest, sending a shiver down his spine.
“Don’t provoke me, or I might lose control, and even I fear myself!” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li with a wicked expression.
“I want to!”
“You naughty girl, watch how I deal with you!” Zhou Chao suddenly lifted the blanket and pinned Jiang Li beneath him.
“Brother Chao, today we’re going to take wedding photos!” Just as Zhou Chao was about to make a move, Jiang Li whispered in his ear and lightly nibbled his earlobe.
“You little minx, getting naughtier and naughtier. 1’11 remember this, and you’ll see how I’ll deal with you in the future!” He said, with a hint of revenge in his tone.
For a while, Jiang Li was also panting, and in no time, her entire body blushed. Zhou Chao triumphantly got up from the bed.
Watching Zhou Chao heading towards the bathroom, Jiang Li blushed and covered her alluring figure with the blanket, muttering to herself, “You rascal, big bad boy!”
After both of them had finished their morning routines, they left the room, ready to have breakfast. After all, they had prepared for a full day of photography, so they needed to eat something to fill their stomachs to avoid feeling hungry later.
“The Four Seasons Hotel’s breakfast service is quite good!” After breakfast, the two of them strolled leisurely towards the hotel.
“Regardless, it’s a well-known international brand!”
“Sooner or later, I’ll acquire it!” Zhou Chao said confidently, as he reached his right hand into the air, as if he had everything under control.
“You’re so full of yourself!”
“Not as much as you!” With that, Zhou Chao dashed forward like a streak of lightning.
“Who do you think is full of themselves, Zhou Chao? Stop and explain what you meant!” Jiang Li also caught up.
Soon, the two of them playfully ran back to the seaside villa, where they saw Miles waiting at the door.
“Good morning, Miles. Why are you here so early?” Zhou Chao was slightly surprised.
“Boss, I was specifically waiting for you!”
“What’s going on?”
“The wedding photographers have arrived, and they’re setting up the scene on the private beach!”
“Oh, do we need to change clothes?”
“They have a dedicated mobile dressing room for changing clothes!”
“That’s very professional. Let’s go to the beach now. Miles, tell me more about this company on the way!” Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand and got into the car with Miles.
“Boss, the wedding photography company is called SRWP, and its English name is ’S.D.R and Wedding Photography.’ It was founded by the world-renowned wedding photography artist S.R in 2004 and is widely recognized in the industry as the ‘world’s top wedding photography company.’
Its headquarters are located in Vienna, the capital of Austria, known as the ‘City of Romance’ and the ‘Holy Land of Music.’ It is hailed as the ‘leader in the world’s wedding photography industry’ and has ushered in a new era of wedding photography.
Their clients come from all five continents and include social celebrities, business elites, and political figures, such as the Porsche family, Morgan executives, and Austrian royalty. In the field of wedding photography, they are considered the absolute top in the world!”
“Hmm.” Zhou Chao nodded in understanding.
Soon, Miles drove them to a private beach, which was actually Zhou Chao’s private beach, not open to the public.
As soon as they got out of the car, Zhou Chao saw a few people planning something on the beach, not far from them was a mobile dressing room.
“Stephen!” Miles called out to a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure among the group.
“Miles, I’ll be right there!” Stephen exchanged a few words with his subordinates and then walked towards Zhou Chao and the others.
“Stephen, let me introduce you. This is my boss, Zhou Chao, and his wife, Jiang Li.”
“Hello, Mr. Zhou!”
Hello, Stephen. We appreciate your assistance today.”
“Mr. Zhou, this is what we should do. At first, I was a bit worried that today’s schedule might be tight, but when I saw you two, 1 knew today would go very smoothly!” Stephen, upon seeing the appearance of the couple, realized that today would be quite easygoing.
“Miss Jiang, you can go with our makeup artist for a simple makeup session. As for Mr. Zhou, you just need a simple touch-up. Anne, come over and take Miss Jiang to do her makeup!”
Soon, a beautiful woman rushed over from the mobile dressing room. When she saw Zhou Chao, her eyes lit up as if they wanted to attach themselves to him.
“Ahem, Anne, aren’t you going to take Miss Jiang for makeup?” Stephen couldn’t help but remind Anne.
“Oh, right. Miss Jiang, please come with me!” Anne quickly led Jiang Li towards the mobile dressing room, snapping out of her daze.
“Mr. Zhou, I’m really sorry, but it’s mainly because your figure and looks are too perfect. For us photographers, you are incredibly attractive!”
“No problem, I don’t mind.”
In less than 20 minutes, the door of the mobile dressing room opened, and Jiang Li stepped out in a pure white wedding gown. Those who were chatting among themselves couldn’t help but stop and stare in amazement as she approached.
“You look so beautiful!” Zhou Chao circled around Jiang Li. She had chosen a relatively modest wedding dress that didn’t reveal much, but it gave off an ethereal and special feeling.
“Really?” Jiang Li looked up with anticipation.
“Yes.”
“I’ll go change now!”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you, it won’t take long.”
After saying that, Zhou Chao went into the dressing room.
In no time, Zhou Chao came down wearing a black suit. When the two of them stood together, everyone present was left in awe.
“Perfect, absolutely perfect!” Stephen stared at Zhou Chao and Jiang Li, his eyes fixed on them.
“Stephen, what’s wrong? Why are you so stunned?”
“When they stand together, it’s like a masterpiece. It makes you feel that love is beautiful. I can’t wait to capture this!” He snatched the camera from his assistant’s hands and started taking pictures.
“Perfect, that’s it, fantastic!” Stephen’s shutter button clicked away like a motor.
After a while, Stephen finally put down his camera.
“When they exchange glances and smiles, it feels like a classic painting. Miles, thank you for calling me!”
“Old friend, don’t mention it. We’ve known each other for two or three decades. I trust you, which is why 1 called you.”
It turned out that they were old friends!
