After leaving Lei Mingtang’s studio, Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li to call Third Aunt. When Third Aunt heard that Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had arrived in Fuzhou, she quickly closed the convenience store and hurried home.

During this time, Zhou Chao sent away his bodyguards and told them to find a nearby hotel to settle in.

When Third Aunt rushed back, she was carrying several large bags. Zhou Chao glanced at them and saw that they were filled with various meats and vegetables.

“Third Aunt, why did you buy so many groceries? Let’s go out for dinner tonight, it’s much more convenient!”

After hearing what Zhou Chao said, Third Aunt frowned and said, “You, young man, you’ve finally returned, so why dine out? It’s much livelier here at home. I know you’ve got money now, but have you considered that Xiao Jiang is expecting? It’s going to cost a lot of money later on!”

After saying that, Third Aunt looked at Jiang Li with a face full of affection, then sat next to her, tremblingly touched Jiang Li’s belly with her right hand, and muttered softly from time to time, “Xiao Chao has grown up, the Zhou family finally has a successor, big brother, you can also rest in peace.”

“Yes, what’s wrong with eating at home!” Jiang Li chimed in from the side.

Seeing Jiang Li sitting behind Third Aunt, making faces and teasing him, Zhou Chao nodded helplessly. With Third Aunt’s support, Jiang Li’s mood became much livelier.

Third Aunt looked at Zhou Chao, who was still as stable as Mount Tai, and said, “Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and cook. Can’t you see that Xiao Li and I have something to talk about? You’re so oblivious, don’t you know how much Xiao Li has suffered following you!”

“Third Aunt, you don’t know, he’s been busy outside every day, rarely coming home. I’ve been alone at home, not eating well, not sleeping well. Third Aunt, you have to teach him a lesson.”

Third Aunt smiled, held Jiang Li’s hand, patted it, glanced at Zhou Chao, and then said to Jiang Li with emphasis, “Xiao Li, rest assured, if Xiao Chao dares to bully you, call me anytime, and I’ll come over to deal with him myself!”

“Yes, Third Aunt!” Jiang Li responded with a hint of pride, looking at Zhou Chao.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao felt annoyed but didn’t show it. Watching Jiang Li’s triumphant look, Zhou Chao clenched his teeth tightly, silently resolving to teach Jiang Li a lesson when they returned home.

Zhou Chao sighed helplessly, got up, and said, “Third Aunt, please teach Xiao Li what she needs to pay attention to during pregnancy. I’ll go to the kitchen first!”

“You go ahead!” Third Aunt didn’t even look at him, just waved her hand.

As Zhou Chao walked straight to the kitchen, the sound of pots and pans clanging together soon filled the air.

Listening to the conversation outside, interspersed with laughter, Zhou Chao’s lips curved into a smile of genuine happiness.

“Xiao Li, as someone with experience, I must tell you that you can’t be as humble as before in the future. You should know that in our Fog City, cooking is a man’s job. Although I know Xiao Chao won’t fool around outside, he’s rich and handsome, inevitably encountering shameless women throwing themselves at him. You should pay more attention!” Third Aunt said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li giggled. “Don’t worry, Third Aunt, I will keep an eye on him. If he dares to fool around outside, I’ll make sure to handle him!”

Busy in the kitchen, Zhou Chao felt a cool breeze pass under his hips. He looked around and muttered softly, “There’s no draft in the kitchen, how strange.” Shaking his head, he continued his work.

“Click!” The door opened, and Uncle hummed a tune as he walked in happily from outside. freewebnøvel.com

“Wife, what delicious food are you making? I could smell it from outside. Oh, whose shoes are these?” Uncle bent down to change his shoes, not noticing Jiang Li and Third Aunt on the sofa, teasing him.

“Quick, see who’s here!” Third Aunt said with a hint of joy in her voice.

Uncle quickly looked over and saw Jiang Li sitting on the sofa.

“Oh, Xiao Li, you’re back? It’s Xiao Chao who’s busy in the kitchen, right!” Uncle said happily.

At that moment, Zhou Chao stuck his head out of the kitchen door and said loudly, “Uncle, you’re back. Please sit down. Dinner will be ready soon!”

“Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve tasted Xiao Chao’s cooking. I really miss it!” Uncle said as he headed towards the sofa.

But as soon as he sat down, he heard Third Aunt’s loud scolding, “Why are you sitting there? Hurry up and go help Xiao Chao in the kitchen. Can’t you see he needs assistance?”

“Yes, I can’t even take a sip of water when I’m home. Sigh, it’s unreasonable!” Uncle sighed, but still took off his coat and headed towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Jiang Li covered her mouth and giggled non-stop.

“Uncle, he’s quite amusing!” Jiang Li said, linking her arm with Third Aunt’s and smiling.

“After being together for so long, we still need to add some spice to life. Your uncle is quite humorous. Otherwise, when I met him back then, so many young girls wouldn’t have pursued him. But in the end, I successfully won him over!” Third Aunt said proudly.

As Third Aunt and Jiang Li chatted about their past stories, the atmosphere in the kitchen also became lively..
