“Brother Chao, you mean we don’t need to pick up the bride tomorrow morning?” Jiang Li emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe, towel in hand, and looked at Zhou Chao with surprise.
“Yeah, Big Bro just called me. He said we should go directly to the Independence of the Seas tomorrow. 1 didn’t ask too many questions, but I guess they’ve arranged for Shen Lan to be on the cruise, so it’ll be convenient for the wedding.” Zhou Chao voiced his speculation.
“Mm, let’s go there early tomorrow then. We’ll find out the details when we arrive.” Jiang Li finished drying her still-damp hair and pulled back the covers before lying down.
“Good night!” Zhou Chao switched off the light and also lay down, naturally pulling Jiang Li into his embrace.
A night of silence passed.
“All Li, come down for breakfast!” Zhou Chao placed a tray of hot milk on the table and called out upstairs.
“Coming!” Soon, the sound of Jiang Li’s footsteps echoed down the stairs.
“Brother Chao, should we leave after breakfast?”
“Yeah, Lin Wu will come to pick us up. After eating, we can change into our formal attire.”
“Okay, got it!” Jiang Li quickly finished her plate of scrambled eggs and cheese, gulped down her milk, and then hurried upstairs.
Seeing Jiang Li’s anxious demeanor, Zhou Chao also hastened his meal. Well, his plate had about twice as much food as Jiang Li’s, but that was partly thanks to her contributions!
Around 9 o’clock, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had changed into their clothes and left the house. Lin Wu had been waiting in the parking garage of The Palms Residence for a while.
“You’ve been waiting for quite some time, haven’t you?” Zhou Chao, seated in the front passenger seat, asked Lin Wu, who was driving.
“Not really, 1 just got here a little while ago.”
“I didn’t even know you’d arrived; you didn’t even call!”
“Hehe, I’m used to it!”
“Later, come on board with me. You don’t have anything else to do anyway.” Zhou Chao’s words made Lin Wu blush instantly. Inside, he couldn’t help but think, ‘You’re the one who should be giving me some tasks to keep me busy instead of letting me spend every day with my girlfriend!’
“By the way, Lin Wu, how are the arrangements going with Wang Feng?” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Wang Feng to go to Peng City, and he wasn’t sure about the current situation.
“It’s proceeding smoothly and in an organized manner. We expect the factory construction to be completed this month. Boss, I’ve already rented the warehouse you asked me to look out for.”
“Alright, it won’t be long before the goods arrive. Make sure Wang Feng keeps an eye on everything, and don’t let any mistakes happen.” Zhou Chao’s tone became more serious as he spoke.
“Understood, Boss. When the time comes, 1’11 go to Peng City and oversee it myself.” Lin Wu also sensed the importance of Zhou Chao’s words and quickly agreed.
“Good, that’s settled. If there are any issues, you can directly contact Uncle Ye.” Lin Wu nodded; after all, he had met Ye Zhengfeng a few times and had a rough understanding of the Ye family’s background.
Soon, they arrived at the pier. The parking lot was already filled with luxury cars. Lin Wu drove around before finally finding an empty spot.
“Let’s go, let’s board the ship!” Jiang Li hooked her arm around Zhou Chao’s, and Lin Wu followed closely behind. They walked onto the ship together.
As soon as Zhou Chao boarded the cruise ship, he noticed that the ship had already been beautifully decorated with festive balloons and a red carpet laid out everywhere.
“Hey, little bro, you’re here!” Zhou Chao spotted Li Yang, who looked exceptionally handsome in his custom-made wedding suit.
“Yeah, the wedding starts at noon?”
“Yeah, it’s at noon. I’ve set up the wedding on the top deck. You can go up and take a look!” Zhou Chao nodded, observing the guests coming and going.
Li Yang’s father, Li Daoming, certainly wouldn’t personally receive guests in such a setting. Given his status, he would only come out to greet guests during the actual wedding ceremony.
All the distinguished guests with status and backgrounds were already on board.
Zhou Chao led Jiang Li and Lin Wu to the top deck’s outdoor area, which had already been beautifully arranged with white decor, making Jiang Li’s eyes sparkle.
“Jealous? Just give me some time, and 1’11 arrange a grand wedding for you!” Zhou Chao hugged Jiang Li and whispered in her ear.
“Hmph, it depends on your sincerity!” Jiang Li pouted, tilting her little head.
Zhou Chao ruffled Jiang Li’s hair and then said, “Let’s go inside.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Chao led the two of them inside, where he saw Li Daoming engrossed in conversation with several middle-aged men. Zhou Chao could guess that these people were the heads of prominent families or corporations in Modu.
When Li Daoming noticed Zhou Chao’s arrival, he quickly excused himself from the conversation and walked over. The other gentlemen also followed Li Daoming’s gaze and turned their attention to Zhou Chao.
“Xiao Chao, you’re here!”
“Uncle Li, I’ll find a place to sit by myself; you don’t have to worry about me.” Li Daoming was a discerning person and immediately understood.
“Alright, you know where to find a seat!” Li Daoming turned and returned to the crowd to continue chatting.
“Lao Li, who’s the young man you went to greet? What were you discussing just now?”
“Oh, he’s my son’s close friend. Where were we in our conversation?” Li Daoming gave a brief introduction and quickly changed the topic, and the others at the table didn’t press for more information.
Zhou Chao found a relatively forward seat, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone calling from behind.
“Young Master Zhou!” Zhou Chao turned around to see that it was Li Hao and He Xin who had arrived. Zhou Chao signaled to Lin Wu, who was beside him, with a glance, and Lin Wu quickly got up and moved to a row further back.
“Come and sit here!” Zhou Chao pointed to the seats beside him. Li Hao led He Xin over, and Li Hao sat down next to Zhou Chao, while He Xin was taken by Jiang Li for a chat.
“By the way, Young Master Zhou, when do you and Miss Jiang plan to get married?” Li Hao immediately asked a rather pointed question as soon as he sat down. Zhou Chao glanced at Jiang Li, who was engrossed in a lively conversation with He Xin and hadn’t noticed their conversation.
“Why are you asking me when you’re no different?” Both of them laughed in unison.
As more people arrived at the wedding scene, including immediate family members and well-known figures in Modu, the venue gradually filled up.
The wedding ceremony began shortly after, with a similar program to the one Zhou Chao had attended before, albeit outdoors this time.
The ceremony lasted less than half an hour and concluded with the venue transformed into a cocktail party setting, featuring various snacks, hot dishes, fruits, and a variety of alcoholic beverages displayed on tables.
“Shall we grab something to eat too?” After all, the formal dinner was scheduled for the evening, and the noon event was primarily a ceremony, followed by casual mingling and some refreshments.
The group selected some food and found a table to sit at.
“What are you guys planning for the afternoon?” Li Hao asked curiously.
“Well, not sure. How about we go fishing at sea?” Zhou Chao suddenly thought of his Dragonfly luxury yacht.
“Fishing at sea? Sounds great! The only thing is we don’t have a yacht to go out to sea.”
“No problem, 1’11 arrange it!” Zhou Chao said, glancing at Lin Wu, who was nearby. Lin Wu nodded quietly and went off to the side.
Soon, Lin Wu returned and whispered to Zhou Chao, “Boss, everything’s arranged. George will come to pick us up on the boat later!”
“Okay, got it.. Let’s eat first!”
