Chapter 636: Lu Island
The next afternoon, in the courtyard by the canal, and in the backyard!
“Where have you three been having fun these past few days!” Zhou Chao lounged on the recliner, swaying leisurely.
At this moment, Abdullah, Si Cong, and Hou Ting all flashed a mysterious smile on their faces, laughing, but none of them responded to Zhou Chao’s words.
Hearing their laughter, Zhou Chao realized that perhaps these three were all lost in their own world of romance.
Shaking his head helplessly, he didn’t say much on this topic. After all, they were just friends, not subordinates. Whatever they wanted to play and for how long was their freedom.
“You three came to me today; there must be something you want to talk about, right?” Glancing at the three of them, he knew they definitely didn’t come over for anything good.
Si Cong and Hou Ting glanced at each other, silently communicating with their eyes. In the end, Hou Ting caved in.
After organizing his thoughts, Hou Ting squeezed out a smile and said, “Young Master Zhou, here’s the thing. We’ve been bored in Jingdu these past few days, so we thought about going somewhere else for fun. We want to invite you to come along?”
“Wanted to go somewhere else for fun? Where do you guys plan to go?” Zhou Chao put down the book in his hand, sat up, and looked at them with a hint of suspicion.
Just as Hou Ting was about to speak, he caught sight of Jiang Li walking out with a plate of fruits from the corner of his eye.
Putting down the fruit plate, Jiang Li, seeing everyone silent, curiously asked, “Why is everyone not talking? Did I interrupt something?”
As someone who put his wife first, Zhou Chao quickly said, “No, honey. Si Cong and the others are planning to take Abdullah somewhere else for fun and asked me to join them!”
“Going out? Sure, no problem. Where are you guys planning to go?” Jiang Li also knew about Abdullah’s current importance through Zhou Chao. Regarding accompanying him to play, it was something specially instructed by Old Wang.
Hou Ting swallowed nervously and glanced at Si Cong beside him. Si Cong pretended not to see, turned his head, and started chatting with Abdullah next to him. Hearing their conversation, Hou Ting could only face Jiang Li alone.
Finally, with a somewhat embarrassed look, Hou Ting looked at Jiang Li and said, “Sis-in-law, we’re planning to go to Lu Island for a few days. Do you want to join us?”
“Lu Island?” Jiang Li’s eyes sparkled with a hint of teasing.
The famous Lu Island, how could Jiang Li not have heard of it? A paradise on earth, a holy land for tourism, endless bikinis to see!
“Lu Island? How did you guys come up with the idea to go to Lu Island? You’re all from the north and now running off to the deep south.” Zhou Chao also asked curiously.
“Uh, it’s because Abdullah wants to soak up some sun and surf, yeah, that’s it!” Hou Ting hurriedly explained.
Hearing this explanation, both Zhou Chao and Jiang Li felt like their brains were being rubbed on the ground. Even Si Cong cursed Si Cong as a clueless teammate in his heart!
Without thinking much, Zhou Chao nodded lightly. “I don’t mind. What about you, Ah Li?”
Jiang Li pondered for a moment before saying, “I won’t go. Brother Chao, I’ve been feeling a bit tired lately. I want to rest at home for a few days.”
“Okay, then I’ll go out with them!”
Hearing their conversation, Si Cong and the others all smiled, even Abdullah used his ordinary Mandarin to call out “Wu Hu” (Wuhu) with a “Western” flavor.
Watching the excited group, Jiang Li shook her head with a smile. She didn’t care at all about this trip for everyone. Even if Zhou Chao really got carried away with them outside, it didn’t matter. After all, they had been suppressed for so long, and occasionally letting loose was also acceptable.
Although that’s what she said, Jiang Li also knew that Zhou Chao’s character would never do such a thing.
Zhou Chao quickly packed up, not even bringing any clothes. He figured he could buy them when they arrived.
Zhou Chao, along with Si Cong, Lin Wu, and numerous bodyguards, totaling about twelve or thirteen people, attracted many gazes as their five Rolls-Royces merged into the traffic when they left the courtyard.
A roar pierced through the air, and gradually, the Jingdu Airport became smaller until it disappeared completely from view.
“How did you guys come up with the idea to go to Lu City? You’re not really going to see some pretty-legged girls, are you?” Zhou Chao asked as he looked at the three men sitting on the sofa drinking.
“We didn’t originally plan this way. Lao Piao called me in the morning asking me to arrange a hotel for him in Lu City. He said Lu City has been quite lively lately. Abdullah also wanted to go somewhere else, so after discussing it, we settled on Lu City.”
At this moment, Si Cong was no longer reserved and directly explained the whole story.
“Huh, I thought you guys wanted a change of scenery, to play somewhere different!” Zhou Chao was left speechless by the three.
“Come on, bro, we’re not like that. We’re mature, stable, and serious second-generation rich kids!” Si Cong looked at Zhou Chao with an expression that seemed to say, “Don’t underestimate us, bro!”
“If Hou Ting had said that, I might have found it somewhat believable, but coming from you, Si Cong, I think… well, it’s worth considering,” Zhou Chao said, pretending to contemplate.
This remark caused Hou Ting and Abdullah beside him to burst into laughter.
The flight from Jingdu to Lu City was about 2,700 kilometers, taking about four or five hours. Even though Zhou Chao’s plane was among the top globally, it still took four hours to reach Lu Island Airport..
