Chapter 804: Chapter 801: I Won’t Be Home for Dinner Tonight

"He’s still in Europe, says he’s in a small town, thinks it’s quite nice there and wants to stay for a while," Shen Wenzhou said with a smile.

Talking about family always brought a sense of happiness.

"I won’t keep you from your work then, brother. I’m going to see what gifts Mom has prepared for me."

"Alright, go ahead."

Ye Chaochao turned and left the study, closing the door behind her, then returned to her own bedroom.

...

Monday.

Last night, Ye Chaochao had set her alarm clock, and this morning it rang right on time. She reached for her phone to turn it off, then closed her eyes again.

She repeated this action three times before finally getting out of bed. Perhaps because her brain hadn’t caught up yet, she almost fell when getting out of bed.

In a rush, she washed up, changed clothes, and put on some makeup. She looked ready for the day, even if her brain wasn’t.

By the time Ye Chaochao got downstairs to the dining room, Shen Wenzhou was already having breakfast.

There was no help for it; Ye Chaochao always cut it close with her breakfast, sometimes even taking it to go. Shen Wenzhou could never wait for her to eat together.

"Don’t rush, there’s still time," Shen Wenzhou said, shaking his head as he watched her hurried state.

Ye Chaochao mumbled around a mouthful of sandwich, "I’ll drive myself over, and I’m not coming back for dinner tonight."

Shen Wenzhou paused, "Going to Ji Yanlin’s place?"

"No!" Ye Chaochao struggled to swallow, "It’s Xueli’s birthday tonight."

Shen Wenzhou understood; that was Ye Chaochao’s college roommate. He nodded, "If there’s time, eat slower."

Seeing her eat in such big bites, Shen Wenzhou really worried she might choke.

After Ye Chaochao quickly finished her breakfast, the siblings left for work together.

Having just secured a contract, Ye Chaochao’s department could relax a little.

Midway through the day, she received a message from Ji Yanlin. "In another meeting, the whole morning spent in the conference room again. So annoying."

Ye Chaochao could picture Ji Yanlin’s expression.

He’d definitely be expressionless, maybe even slightly frowning, looking impatient.

Others might think they weren’t doing well enough, making Minister Ji dissatisfied. In reality, Ji Yanlin just disliked listening to their endless chatter in meetings.

They chatted for a little while before Ye Chaochao had to get back to work and stopped messaging him.

In the afternoon, she left work on time and drove to the agreed-upon location.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Xueli was already there. Seeing Ye Chaochao, she reached out for a hug, "Chaochao, I’m so glad you’re here!"

Ye Chaochao ran over and gave Zhang Xueli a big hug, "Don’t worry, I’m here for you."

Zhang Xueli’s family was in S City, while the other two roommates were unavailable—one studying abroad, the other away on business. Only Ye Chaochao could be there to celebrate her birthday.

After not seeing each other for so long, they had endless topics to talk about.

But as they chatted, Zhang Xueli sighed, "I really envy you, having your family and boyfriend nearby. Look at me, single and so far from home."
