As soon as he stepped into the central courtyard, Su Chen saw someone who surprised him—Aunt Tang. He glanced at Jiang Hui, realizing it must have been him who had called and asked her to return to work.
"Sir, you’ve arrived? The food’s just been prepared. You can eat now!" Aunt Tang said respectfully as she approached Su Chen.
"Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Tang."
Su Chen had no objections to Jiang Hui’s arrangements. In fact, he was quite pleased. It showed that Jiang Hui had thoughtfully arranged everything for his return.
Exhausted and starving after a long day, Su Chen sat down and immediately started eating. Aunt Tang had prepared a rich spread: three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup—all of his favorites.
"Ugh, I’m stuffed again," Su Chen sighed, leaning back in his chair and shaking his head in resignation.
Over the New Year holiday, Su Chen had gained a good eight pounds—all thanks to the success of visiting relatives and feasting on holiday meals.
Rubbing his slightly plump stomach, Su Chen knew he’d have to add a new project after the holidays: hitting the gym to lose weight.
"I’m going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up at half-past eight," Su Chen said to Chen Fei, giving a lazy stretch.
"Understood, Sir!"
Chen Fei even went so far as to set an alarm on his phone.
With that, Su Chen picked up Yuanbao and headed toward the rear courtyard. He didn’t go to his room, however, instead choosing to lie down on the sofa downstairs.
.......
At half-past eight that evening, Chen Fei woke Su Chen up right on time.
Still groggy with sleep, Su Chen took the hot towel Jiang Hui handed him and pressed it to his face. He instantly felt much more awake.
Looking at the two men standing beside him, Su Chen waved a hand. "You can go now."
