"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."

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.
