Zou Bai chuckled. “Mom, you read that online, right? You’re quite trendy.”

Wen Li patted Zou Bai’s hand hard and glared at him. “I’m talking about serious matters with you. You want to change the topic again.”

Zou Bai replied, “Got it, but I can’t be the only factor deciding when the marriage is. It depends on what Jiang An thinks too. But I think as long as you don’t get involved, it shouldn’t be too slow.”

Wen Li rolled her eyes at Zou Bai. “As long as you care, I definitely won’t get involved.”

When Zou Bai heard this, the corners of his lips curled up. He stood up and said, “Mom, remember what you said. Don’t interfere in the matter between Jiang An and me. Otherwise, don’t blame me when it goes bad. Don’t force me to go on blind dates again. I’m tired. I’ll go upstairs first. You should rest early too.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Li waved her hand at Zou Bai in annoyance. “Get lost, get lost. None of you let my heart rest. You’re all born debt collectors.”

Zou Bai took the elevator directly to the top floor. In the middle of the rooftop was a small crystal house with various models of astronomical equipment.

There were observatories around the glass house for Zou Bai to use binoculars to look at the stars. There were some mosquito repelling plants planted in other empty spots on the rooftop. There were a few wooden stools and a rocking chair beside the wooden coffee table.

Jingdu City was once an industrial city. Although these projects had been moved to other provinces, the air quality was still inferior to the south, let alone a tourist province like Xiyun.

Zou Bai laid on the rocking chair. He could only see a few stars, and it was a little misty. He sighed softly. “Xiyun is still the most suitable place to look at the stars.”

Zou Bai took out his phone and sent Jiang An a WeChat message.

Zou Bai: An’an, I’m home.

Jiang An had just taken a shower and was drying her hair. When she heard her phone ring, she immediately turned off the hairdryer and picked up her phone.

When she saw Zou Bai reporting that he was safe, Jiang An bit her lip and revealed a smile.

Jiang An: Okay.

Jiang An wanted to say more and typed a line of words asking what else he was busy with later.

Then, she felt that there seemed to be some suspicion of control. Jiang An deleted the words and found a few other topics to talk about. However, just as she typed, she felt that it was not appropriate and deleted it again and again.

Zou Bai looked at the notification on the top of the dialog box that the other party was typing. After waiting for a long time, he didn’t see Jiang An’s message. He felt a little strange.

Zou Bai: I see that you kept typing. Do you have something to say but feel that it’s inconvenient?

When Jiang An saw this message, she instantly felt like she was going to be petrified. She had forgotten that WeChat had this display function, so the other party had seen her struggle for the past 10 minutes.

Jiang An felt that she had lost all her face. With a long face, she threw her phone and then herself onto the bed. She looked at the ceiling helplessly and pulled the blanket over her head. “It’s really a moment of social death.”

When Zou Bai saw that the other party was silent after he had sent the message, he frowned. He vaguely felt that he might have said something wrong. After some thought, he picked up his phone and dialed Meng Yu’s number.

“Who the f*ck is looking for me!”

As soon as the call connected, Meng Yu’s irritable voice rang.

Zou Bai was leisurely lying on the rocking chair, swaying back and forth. He only replied indifferently, “Me.”

Meng Yu paused for a moment and turned to look at the caller ID. He replied helplessly, “Brother, I’m on official business! I’ll call you back after I’m done.”

Zou Bai said unhurriedly, “I heard you say before that you wanted to cooperate with me to develop that piece of land in the western suburbs, right? Is that true? If not, I’ll hang up first.”

Meng Yu hurriedly got off the woman’s body, pulled the blanket over himself, and sat by the bed. He replied anxiously, “Yes, yes, yes! What project have you thought of?”

The plot of land in the western suburbs was a newly planned area by the government. Zou Bai directly bought two-thirds of the entire western suburbs. It could be said that the appearance of the western suburbs in Jingdu City completely depended on Zou Bai.

ZL Group’s ability to develop plots of land was unquestionable. As long as they were marked with ZL, even the most desolate area could be changed. Previously, Zou Bai had announced that he planned to develop it independently. That night, countless people’s dreams were shattered.

Zou Bai directly interrupted the question on the project’s extension. “I’ve thought about it. Come to my company tomorrow to discuss it in detail. 1 have a question for you now..”
