“What’s wrong, Brother-in-law?”

“It’s nothing. i just had something in mind.” Wen Shao didn’t pay much attention to it when he heard this. Before long, they reached their destination. After parking the car and stepping out, Zhou Chao noticed a woman who stood at around 160 cm, possessed a captivating figure and had a beautiful face. Her eyes resembled peach blossoms and seemed to hold a hint of springwater as if gazing into them would ensnare anyone. Combined with her well-balanced physique, any average man would sneak a few glances at her.

However, something about her felt off to Zhou Chao, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. As she approached, he decided to stop overthinking it.

“Wen Wen, come over here. Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Zhou Chao!” Wen Wen was dressed in sportswear, and as she approached, she wrapped her arms around Wen Shao’s arm.

“Brother Chao, this is the one I told you about, my girlfriend, Wen Wen!”

Zhou Chao nodded at her introduction and didn’t extend his hand for a handshake, given that she was a girl.

“Shall we go, Wen Shao? Since you’re more familiar with this place, you can lead the way.”

“I’m also here for the first time. 1 got in using my cousin’s membership card.” As Wen Shao spoke, he didn’t notice a fleeting change in Wen Wen’s expression.

“Let’s find a caddy first to get familiar with the surroundings.”

“We have a caddy. I arranged for one when we came in.”

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel that Wen Shao had become a bit silly since he got into a relationship. He used to be so smart, so what happened now?

“Then lead the way!” Zhou Chao was about ready to kick him. With Wen Shao’s guidance, they quickly arrived at the spot where Zhou Chao and Wen Wen had played before. As expected, there was a young man who looked like a caddy playing with his phone.

When the caddy saw Wen Shao and the others approaching, he quickly put away his phone.

“Brother Chao, do you want to give it a try?” Wen Shao took a golf club from the caddy’s hand and demonstrated.

“I’ll give it a shot.” Taking the golf club from Wen Shao, Zhou Chao stood at the golf ball’s position, looked at the hole not too far away, and made a few practice swings. He then lightly swung the club, and the golf ball shot towards the hole.

Although Zhou Chao had never played golf before, he had seen it online. He decided to mimic what he had seen. While his movements weren’t entirely precise, they were still passable.

“Brother Chao, it looks promising!” The golf ball was getting closer and closer to the hole, and everyone’s hearts were racing.

“It went in!” Wen Shao watched as the golf ball rolled directly into the hole and excitedly shouted as if he himself had made the shot. He raised his fists in joy a few times.

“Brother Chao, I didn’t expect you to be so good at golf. A hole-in-one!”

“Even a broken clock is right twice a day. It was pure luck!” Zhou Chao knew that this hole-in-one was a fluke, as he had never played golf before.

“Brother Chao, your golf skills are way better than Wen Shao’s!” Hearing Wen Wen’s sweet voice, Zhou Chao thought about the 20-year-old Dragon Well tea harvested before the rain that he had stored in a tea cabinet in his home at The Palms Residence in Fog City.

“That’s a given. Have you forgotten who my Brother Chao is? Of course, he’s amazing!” Wen Shao said with a proud expression on his face. Wen Wen, who was standing beside him, seemed to look at Zhou Chao with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

“Alright, let’s play the next hole!” Zhou Chao said, then followed the caddy to the next hole. Wen Shao, holding Wen Wen’s hand, quickly followed suit.

“Brother Chao, you go ahead and play. I need to use the restroom!” Just as they reached the new course, Wen Shao suddenly felt a discomfort in his stomach. He signaled to Zhou Chao, then had the caddy drive the golf cart parked by the roadside to take him to the restroom.

Watching the golf cart slowly drive away, Zhou Chao was about to continue playing golf when he noticed Wen Wen approaching him.

“Brother Chao, your skills are so good. Can you teach me how to play golf?”

Hearing Wen Wen’s coquettish voice, Zhou Chao felt goosebumps all over his body.

As Wen Wen slowly approached him, Zhou Chao’s expression changed, and he seemed to turn into an iceberg. His gaze was sharp as he stared at Wen Wen, and he coldly said, “What are you trying to do? Do you want me to teach you how to play golf physically? Please don’t forget that you are Wen Shao’s girlfriend!”

With that, Zhou Chao turned and walked toward the golf ball, leaving Wen Wen behind, who had been frightened by his icy demeanor.

It took a while for Wen Wen to recover from the cold feeling. She found a bench on the roadside and sat down, watching Zhou Chao’s receding figure with a hint of fear.

Not long after, Wen Shao returned to the golf cart. From a distance, he saw Wen Wen sitting alone by the roadside, lost in thought, while Zhou Chao had already moved far away.

“Wen Wen, why are you sitting here? Why didn’t you go with Brother Chao?”

Wen Shao’s words snapped Wen Wen out of her contemplation. In an instant, she put on a cute and obedient expression, which made Wen Shao’s eyes shine.

“You’re back! 1 was feeling a bit hungry, so I decided to sit here and take a rest.” Upon hearing Wen Wen’s melodious voice, Wen Shao felt as if he had quenched his thirst on a hot day with a refreshing drink, instantly easing his tension.

“Wait here; 1’11 go tell Brother Chao, and then we can go to the club’s restaurant to grab something to eat.”

“Sure.” Watching Wen Shao walk towards Zhou Chao, Wen Wen’s eyes flashed with a hint of worry, but it quickly disappeared. After all, she believed that even if Zhou Chao said something bad about her, she could handle it.

“BrotherChao!”

Zhou Chao, who was preparing to hit the golf ball, heard the voice and looked at Wen Shao walking towards him. He put down the golf club he had raised halfway and asked, “What’s up?”

“Brother Chao, Wen Wen is feeling a bit hungry. I’m thinking of taking her to the club to have something to eat. Would you like to join us?”

Zhou Chao’s eyes shifted from Wen Shao to Wen Wen, who was seated in the distance. After some consideration, he chose not to disclose the recent events to Wen Shao. Zhou Chao likely understood that sharing the information wouldn’t change much.

“You go ahead; 1’11 finish these holes first.”

“Alright, Brother Chao. I’ll go ahead then. We’ll contact you later!” Zhou Chao replied with a soft “okay,” and then turned around to continue playing the unfinished hole. Meanwhile, Wen Shao and Wen Wen happily took off in a golf cart towards the club.

“Let’s go!” With a happy expression, Wen Wen linked arms with Wen Shao, and the two of them boarded the golf cart, heading towards the club. As they got on, Wen Wen couldn’t help but glance at Zhou Chao in the distance, who was playing golf.

“Ding ding ding.”

Just as he had successfully sunk the ball into one of the golf holes and hadn’t even had the chance to celebrate, his phone rang.

Taking out his phone and checking, it was an unfamiliar number with a caller ID indicating it was from Jingdu. He immediately answered the call.

“Boss, hello. I’m Tan Mingming, the manager of the Huabin Manor International Golf Club.”

“Hello.”

“Boss, I was wondering if you have some free time to visit the club?”

“Oh, I’m currently on the golf course, sweating it out. Why don’t you come over here?”

Zhou Chao’s response surprised Tan Mingming, who quickly asked, “Boss, which hole are you at?”

Zhou Chao glanced at the flagpole of the hole he had just played, then replied, “I’m currently at the 15th hole, and I’m about to head to the 16th hole.”

“Alright, Boss! Please wait a moment; I’ll be there shortly..”
