Chapter 933: After three years of being a simp, I still couldn't win over the girl?

"Is Grandpa in the inner palace?"

After sending the message, Chi Yingzhou looked up at the driver.

"Yes, yes," the driver said, startled, and quickly looked away.

Looking again, the governor still had that "die" expression on his face.

Whew~

It was definitely a hallucination just now.

"The old man was very happy to know you were coming back."

The driver said respectfully, "I didn't even take a nap. I personally cooked the meal, just waiting for you, Governor, to come back."

When the old man was mentioned, Chi Yingzhou's expression softened.

The old man is unwell and shouldn't be resting; why is he making such a fuss?

"And him?"

Chi Yingzhou closed his eyes for a short rest, his voice several degrees colder.

The bodyguard knew perfectly well who he was asking about, and spoke again: "The old governor? He's been busy tending to the garden lately."

garden?

Chi Yingzhou twitched his thin lips, a mocking laugh escaping his throat.

The only detached villa with a garden in the family was allocated to Chi Yingzheng.

The old chieftain had severe mysophobia; he used to never even touch a single leaf.

Now, out of love for the house, he even personally tends to the garden.

Don't love too much.

Let's go.

Chi Yingzhou responded faintly, and the temperature inside the car dropped a few degrees.

driver:"?"

Why doesn't the governor ask about the young master's situation?

Did he know that the eldest young master was going back to China?

Or is it...?

Former defeated foe, nothing to fear?!

...

Ten minutes later.

The vehicle drove into a safe and secluded parking lot.

Bodyguards dressed in black and wearing sunglasses were on high alert.

In the middle of the vehicles, the black Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase, exclusively belonging to the governor of Xuanzhou, stands out.

Chi Yingzhou stepped out of the carriage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Commander!"

Everyone bowed their heads in unison, offering a respectful greeting.

Let's go.

Chi Yingzhou got into the Rolls-Royce, his aura icy and cold, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Those around held their breath, not daring to lift their heads.

This is the champion of the continental governor competition.

His methods are unknown to others, but those within the inner court know them very well.

To put it bluntly, Chi Ying-chou is a mad dog.

When they go berserk, they can take their opponent down with them.

The young master almost lost his life back then.

"Set off."

At Chi Yingzhou's command, the convoy slowly headed towards the inner palace, proceeding in a grand procession.

Other vehicles on the road, upon seeing the imperial entourage, quickly moved to the sides.

Things are getting better.

They actually saw the Xuanzhou governor's personal vehicle.

It's a pity I never met the governor in person.

But I've vaguely heard that he's sexually frigid, otherwise he wouldn't be almost thirty and still unmarried.

——

Much later.

The convoy arrived at the inner palace, the guards stopped, and the Rolls-Royce drove through the gate.

Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ran up and opened the car door: "Chief, welcome home."

Chi Yingzhou stepped out of the carriage, carrying his suitcase, and strode inside.

"Chief of the Continent".

"Chief of the Continent".

"..."

The staff of the Imperial Household Department immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Tell me about the recent situation in the inner palace." Chi Yingzhou walked towards the old man's room without looking to the side.

After Chi Ying-chou remained as governor, he worked entirely in the governor's office.

He rarely comes back to the Chi family's side.

"yes."

Assistant Zhou nodded, opened the prepared documents, and explained them in detail.

"Chief, that's about it." Assistant Zhou closed the report and respectfully asked, "Under your leadership, the work below is proceeding in an orderly manner."

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Chi Yingzhou stopped and looked at Assistant Zhou.

Assistant Zhou was his only friend from junior high school through high school and university.

After graduation.

When he took office as governor, his assistant Zhou was recruited into his office as governor's assistant.

Assistant Zhou usually appears dull and rigid, but he has an extremely strong sense of rules.

In fact, his observation and deductive reasoning abilities are extraordinary.

He even guessed that the person he liked was Qu Qingli.

Chi Yingzhou couldn't help but ask him how he figured it out.

Zhou pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone, "You were talking in your sleep during your afternoon nap and called out Miss Qu's name."

Chi Yingzhou: "..."

"Take your leave early and go back to rest for half a month," Chi Yingzhou said to Assistant Zhou. "I've already transferred your bonus to your account."

"Chief, I'm not tired." Assistant Zhou is a workaholic; the more work he does, the more accomplished he feels.

Therefore, Chi Yingzhou was able to slack off every day to be Qu Qingli's bodyguard.

“This is an order, not an inquiry.” Chi Yingzhou frowned. “Either take leave or resign.”

“I choose to take the vacation.” Assistant Zhou was a very sensible person. “Thank you, Chief.”

"Go down."

Chi Yingzhou waved to him, then pushed open the door and entered Old Master Chi's villa.

"Second Young Master, you're back." The butler stepped forward, noticed his white suitcase, and asked cautiously, "Would you like me to take this to your room?"

Every time the second young master comes back, he stays at the old man's villa.

"No need." Chi Yingzhou gripped his suitcase tighter and said in a low voice, "Where's Grandpa?"

"The old man?" The butler deliberately raised his voice and said in a loud voice, "The old man has been worrying too much lately, he can't eat or sleep, and he's resting in bed right now."

"Is that so?"

Chi Yingzhou's lips curved into a smile as he asked, "Have you seen a doctor? What did they say?"

"Cough cough."

The housekeeper cleared his throat and lowered his voice to reply, "The doctor said to take it to KFC and see if it works, then it's fine."

The old man has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, so he can't eat too much oily food on a regular basis.

But like an old child, I've recently developed a fondness for fried chicken.

He always secretly orders takeout.

"I'll go in and take a look." Chi Yingzhou roughly knew what was going on.

After putting down his suitcase, he knocked on the old man's door.

Ouch!

Hearing the noise, the old man immediately lay down on the bed, hastily pulled the blanket over himself, and sighed, "Why do I feel so uncomfortable all over? Is my time coming to an end?"

"Only eating some fried chicken will make me feel better."

"Is it really that serious?"

Chi Yingzhou stepped forward, stood by the bed with his arms crossed, and said with a half-smile, "You'll have to eat fried chicken a few times, Grandpa."

"?"

Hearing his voice, the old man turned around abruptly, both surprised and angry: "You brat, you actually know how to come back?!"

Chi Yingzhou stepped forward, helped the over eighty-year-old man to his feet, and respectfully asked, "Did you miss me, old man?"

Why would I want to think about you, you heartless bastard?

The old man leaned against the headboard, groaning softly.

"I'll buy you fried chicken," Chi Yingzhou said with a smile, trying to coax the old man.

"I'm not inferior." The old man was so angry that his mouth stammered. "If you're so capable, bring me back a granddaughter-in-law. I'll be happier than eating dragon meat."

"Eating dragon meat? You've got quite the imagination."

Chi Yingzhou sat down next to him, crossed his legs, and swung his toes, saying, "It's true what they say, the grandson isn't worried, but the grandfather is."

"Chi Yingzheng doesn't have a wife yet, and she's a few years older than me. Why don't you urge him to get married?"

"I don't care!"

Mentioning Chi Yingzheng, the old man's face fell. "That bastard, just thinking about him brings bad luck!"

"Don't try to change the subject. It's been three years. Did you manage to win her over or not?"

Chi Yingzhou remained silent.

"You couldn't even win me over after three years of being a simp?" The old man sneered.

"Hehe, speechless."

——

Good night.
