Only, nobody could have expected that Zhou Chao would be beaten into the hospital before he could even reach Yan Cheng.
It was a group of tattooed mobsters. Under the dim lights, he was dragged to a dead end and given a violent beating. They didn’t control their strength and beat him up quite badly. By the time he was sent to the hospital by an ambulance, his head was bleeding and he was constantly yelling, “Damnit, those bastards! I’ll kill them if I find out who they are!”
But Zhou Chao offends a lot of people in his daily life and has a host of enemies. How could he know who did it? He can yell all he wants, but he can’t really do anything about it.
When Zhou Xue went to see him a few days later, he was still thinking about trying to pull connections with Yan Cheng, but he was currently disabled and couldn’t get out of the hospital.
After much thought, he still decided to grasp at his last straw, Zhou Xue.
“It’ll definitely be more effective if you ask instead of me.”

Friday, a day with good weather for once.
After taking her surgical mask off and returning to the office, she breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back into her office chair. She tried to find a comfortable position but couldn’t really find one so she raised her arms to stretch out her spine. Her eyelashes quivered and she glanced at the green plant right next to her computer, instantly dissipating her fatigue. She felt refreshed. It’s time for her weekend break again.
There was still some time before work ended. She daydreamed for a while, eyes fixed to a certain point as if in thought. After a while, she came back to herself and slowly looked away. Her whims were completely unconcealed when she grabbed her phone off the table.
Chen Jinyao: “I’ve decided to inspect your Er Pavilion tonight.”
She was practically going through the same schedule each day, especially during work. This life was starting to feel dull, and when the dullness became unbearable, it triggered her wish to seek excitement. Plus, they already agreed upon this before.
Yan Cheng was quite surprised. “So suddenly?”
After looking at the reply, Chen Jinyao’s lips curved into a lazy smile and she raised a brow, quickly typing out, “You could also call it a surprise inspection.”
