Early the next morning, Zhou Chao rose from bed promptly.
"Brother Chao, are we heading back today?" Jiang Li, lying on her side, propped up her head with her right hand, watching as Zhou Chao rummaged through the suitcase for clothes.
"Not today. I plan to visit the Secretary in Fuzhou."
Jiang Li's interest piqued. She sat up, using a pillow to support her back against the bed frame.
"What's the purpose of your visit? You're not thinking about investing again, are you?" she teased, knowing Zhou Chao's intentions.
"Wealth shouldn't distance one from home, as it's like wearing fine clothes at night," he remarked. "After all, Fuzhou is my hometown, and now that I have the means, why not bring about some changes there?"
Zhou Chao found a more formal outfit from the suitcase and donned it.
"My dear husband, I always knew you were the best!" Jiang Li praised, sending a few heart emojis his way.
