As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 754: Settling Down!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The following morning, Zhou Chao gazed at Jiang Li nestled in his arms, her fair face captivating him. Unable to resist, he leaned in and tenderly kissed her.

Last night, Zhou Chao and his father-in-law, as well as Old Master Jiang, talked until about one o’clock in the morning. The main topic had transitioned from sandification technology to artificial intelligence.

When Old Master Jiang learned that Zhou Chao’s artificial intelligence could silently break into his computer, he became greatly interested. Even the sandification technology he initially wanted Zhou Chao to invest in was no longer a concern.

At first, Old Master Jiang didn’t believe that Zhou Chao’s artificial intelligence could be so powerful. After all, the security level of his study’s computer was no less than those of special departments. It was equipped with firewalls jointly made by the top security experts within the security department, ranking among the best in the world.

But such security measures were unexpectedly breached silently, without any response. This alone shocked Old Master Jiang for a long time, and even the way he looked at Zhou Chao became brighter.

Fortunately, it was family; if it were people from other countries, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Old Master Jiang took Zhou Chao’s phone, he played with it like a child. After obtaining Zhou Chao’s authorization, Old Master Jiang tried to let Xiao Guo infiltrate some departments whose names Zhou Chao hadn’t even heard of. The results were all successful infiltrations within seconds, with no traces left, and the infiltrated departments showed no reaction.

After playing for about an hour, Old Master Jiang’s mood shifted from excitement at the beginning to worry later on. The most prevalent emotion in his eyes was confusion. Old Master Jiang had fallen into self-doubt.

After all, this broke through his psychological defenses. Zhou Chao’s artificial intelligence had exceeded Old Master Jiang’s existing knowledge, making him doubt whether he was falling behind.

Especially when Old Master Jiang reluctantly returned the phone to Zhou Chao, even now, Zhou Chao couldn’t forget the look in Old Master Jiang’s eyes at that moment.

“Brother Chao, what are you laughing at, laughing so mischievously?”

Jiang Li, who was in his arms, opened her eyes without Zhou Chao noticing.

“I just thought of something funny. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?” Zhou Chao reached out and gently pinched Jiang Li’s delicate nose.

“It’s all because of a certain bad guy who bullied me early in the morning!” Jiang Li said, and her hand fiercely pinched a certain cylinder.

Zhou Chao shivered, looking at Jiang Li’s mischievous expression. If she weren’t pregnant, he would make her sing the “Ah” march today, no matter how high or low.

“Don’t be naughty, or you’ll get burned!”

Zhou Chao pointed his index finger at Jiang Li’s red lips. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li slightly opened her mouth and directly bit Zhou Chao’s finger, using her soft tongue to swirl around it a few times.

Feeling a rush of blood to his head, Zhou Chao was about to make a move when he heard a knock on the door.

“Xiao Li, Xiao Chao, get up, it’s time for breakfast!”

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, making him deflate. Zhou Chao sighed deeply, “Consider yourself lucky today. If it weren’t for Mom knocking on the door, I’d make you know the consequences of teasing me.”

“Pfft, anyone can talk big!” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao’s gloomy expression and chuckled with some smugness.

“Xiao Chao, are you up?” The voice of his mother-in-law came from outside the door.

“We’re up, getting dressed!” Zhou Chao replied to the door.

The two got up from the bed. When they were dressing, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li showed some affection. When they came out of the room, Jiang Li’s face was all pink.

Jiang’s mother saw Jiang Li’s blush and smiled knowingly. They were all adults; how could they not know what had happened?

Jiang Li glanced shyly at Zhou Chao and sat down at the dining table to eat.

“Xiao Chao, I heard that your Third Aunt is coming to Jingdu today. You should take Jiang Li to pick her up at the airport!” Jiang’s mother said softly.

Jiang Li immediately looked up at Zhou Chao when she heard this. “Really? Third Aunt is coming to Jingdu? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Zhou Chao nodded, teasingly looking at Jiang Li. “Hmm, Third Aunt called a few days ago and said she’s coming specifically to see her precious niece!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li’s face blushed even more. “Ah~ Should I dress up nicely then? When are they arriving? I don’t even know if I have enough time to do my makeup now!”

Seeing Jiang Li’s anxious look, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

Annoyed, Jiang Li kicked Zhou Chao under the table.

“Ouch!” Caught off guard, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but exclaim.

Jiang’s mother shook her head as she watched. Thinking about how restrained they used to be, how could they be so playful and affectionate at the dining table now?

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s eat quickly!”

Jiang Li grumbled and then started eating, but her speed was much faster than before.

“Where did Dad and Grandpa go? They wouldn’t have gone to the office so early, would they?” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen Jiang Youdao and Old Master Jiang.

“I’m not sure. They rushed out early this morning. I asked, but they didn’t tell me anything!” Jiang’s mother said.

Listening to Jiang’s mother, Zhou Chao guessed that they had probably gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences so early. After all, it had been discussed last night; the sandification improvement technology would be handled by Jiang Youdao and Old Master Jiang. The benefits were undeniable.
