The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

At dawn, before the sun had fully risen, the faint rays of sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, dappling the ground like tiny, scattered pieces of silver, shimmering with a captivating light—a breathtaking sight. In the long, dark night, these fragments of sunlight seemed like messengers of hope, finally dispelling the gloom that shrouded hearts. Though they were but insignificant specks, they were enough to bring solace and joy to those who yearned for light.

It was just past 7:30 in the morning when Zhou Yanhuan slowly opened her eyes and woke up on the soft, comfortable bed. Because she needed to return to Yuzhou Kingdom today, she had gotten up early to prepare.

After quickly washing up, Zhou Yanhuan entered the spacious walk-in closet. Her gaze casually swept over the dazzling array of clothes, and she picked out a dark green long dress, gently changing into it. The dress was exquisitely tailored, its color deep and mysterious, perfectly complementing her fair skin.

After tidying herself up, Zhou Yanhuan dragged her small suitcase from the walk-in closet door and walked out of the room with light steps. She walked down the corridor to the stairwell, carefully picked up her suitcase, and began to climb the stairs. Every step she took was so elegant and composed, as if the whole world was captivated by her.

However, after walking only a few steps, Zhou Yanhuan suddenly noticed that the butler had appeared in front of her at some point. The butler was a foreign man in his thirties, tall and upright, with a handsome face and a gentle smile.

Upon seeing the suitcase in Zhou Yanhuan's hands, he stepped forward without hesitation to help carry it.

"Thank you!" Zhou Yanhuan said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Miss. It's my pleasure to serve you," the butler replied with a smile.

Zhou Yanhuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a polite but distant smile. She nodded slightly in response and then said no more.

The butler carried the luggage, walking steadily ahead, while Zhou Yanhuan descended the stairs with elegant and unhurried steps. Her graceful figure was like a beautiful painting, captivating all who beheld her.

As soon as Zhou Yanhuan reached the first floor, a maid in a neat uniform rushed over, her face full of awe, and said respectfully, "Miss, the master has already had breakfast in the dining room."

Zhou Yanhuan waved her hand gently, her tone as calm as still water: "I understand. I will go to the restaurant myself in a moment. You can go and do your work."

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly bowed deeply to Zhou Yanhuan to show her respect, then turned and left to attend to her busy work.

Zhou Yanhuan, like a graceful white swan, moved lightly through the living room and skillfully arrived at the dining room door. Then, without hesitation, she went straight to the seat next to Zhou Jiaze and slowly sat down.

Upon seeing this, the maid who had been sitting in the corner immediately stepped forward and skillfully set out the tableware for Zhou Yanhuan. Then, she carefully picked up a bowl of steaming millet porridge, gently placed it in front of Zhou Yanhuan, and silently retreated back to her original corner. The entire process was smooth and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Perhaps because it was still early, the restaurant was unusually quiet, with only Zhou Yanhuan and Zhou Jiaze sitting opposite each other at the empty dining table.

"Good morning, Maxwell! I wonder if you've been busy with work lately?" Zhou Yanhuan turned her gaze to Zhou Jiaze sitting beside her and asked softly.

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiaze's handsome face immediately revealed a gentle and gentlemanly smile: "Good morning, Zhenzhen. Did you sleep well last night? Were you bothered by nightmares again? As for me, apart from the headaches of dealing with the Zhou and Xie families, I haven't been too busy lately."

Zhou Yanhuan listened quietly to every word Zhou Jiaze said, especially when he mentioned the Zhou family and the Xie family. Her heart trembled involuntarily, as if an invisible sense of guilt was spreading in her heart.

However, she knew she had to remain calm and composed at this moment, so she took a deep breath, trying to hide her unease, and replied in a slightly weak but firm tone, "Brother Maxwell, please rest assured! I slept very well last night and was not disturbed by that terrible nightmare."

After a brief pause, Zhou Yanhuan continued, "As for the affairs of the Zhou and Xie families, and their respective groups, I can only trouble Brother Maxwell to handle them for now. When I return from Yuzhou, I will have the military arrange for personnel from China to take over management. At that time, these tedious matters will be properly handled by someone, and we won't need to worry about them anymore. I hope you can be patient for a while longer, and once everything has settled down, you can relax and take a long vacation to return to Yuzhou to visit your aunt and uncle." As she spoke, her eyes revealed a hint of guilt and gratitude, seemingly filled with apology and respect for Zhou Jiaze's efforts during this period.

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiaze's face showed disbelief, and then he couldn't help but laugh in anger. He widened his eyes and said in a slightly questioning tone, "Are you really planning to hand over these two groups and donate them all? In fact, these two groups are quite profitable! Don't forget, you are notoriously greedy for money, like a greedy pig that only takes in and never gives out. Now, not only are they not profitable, but you're going to hand them over to the country?"

Faced with Zhou Jiaze's doubts and incomprehension, Zhou Yanhuan merely curled her lips into a mocking smile. Her eyes revealed undisguised contempt and disdain as she responded in an extremely arrogant tone: "Dear Brother Maxwell, have you forgotten what I told you before? Humph, those guys' money is filthy and disgusting. Therefore, I've decided to donate their so-called 'empire,' built up over generations, to the country without reservation for charitable purposes. Besides, I've always only been interested in money, but I've never lacked it. Even if I ever fall into financial trouble, would you just stand by and do nothing, not giving me any money and letting me suffer? This little bit of money is utterly insignificant to me, not worth mentioning at all!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, Zhou Jiaze turned to look at her, his eyes filled with doting affection and amusement. He said softly, "That's right, little princess! We don't care about that little bit of money. When you come back, we'll just donate both of these groups. That way, I'll have more time and energy to focus on managing the companies I established in China and work hard to earn a fortune for our two precious children."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan showed a satisfied expression and nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, she began to enjoy the incredibly lavish breakfast in front of her. Today's breakfast was a dazzling array of dishes, and most of them were Zhou Yanhuan's favorite foods.

Looking at the exquisite and delicious dishes before her, Zhou Yanhuan knew perfectly well that Zhou Jiaze had specially instructed the servants to prepare them. Most of the dishes happened to perfectly suit her taste preferences.

At this moment, the restaurant was peaceful and serene. The two silently enjoyed their breakfasts, seemingly immersed in a warm and beautiful atmosphere.

About twenty minutes later, Zhou Yanhuan and Zhou Jiaze elegantly put down their cutlery and gently wiped their mouths. At this moment, Zhou Jiaze turned his gaze to Zhou Yanhuan, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly, "Zhenzhen, I wonder where your private jet is parked this time? Let me personally escort you there."

Zhou Yanhuan smiled slightly and replied calmly but firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Maxwell, but there's really no need to trouble yourself. I can leave directly from the Capital Airport on my private jet. Besides, have you forgotten? Karoride has always been by my side. We'll drive to the Capital Airport ourselves later, so please go to work without worry."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Jiaze realized that this was indeed the case. Karolide, as Zhou Yanhuan's personal bodyguard captain, had been by her side ever since she returned to the royal family.

The relationship between the master and servant was extremely close; it could be said that wherever Zhou Yanhuan went, Karolide would follow closely behind.

Zhou Jiaze nodded slightly in agreement, then said softly to Zhou Yanhuan, "Then I'm going to work." A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, but he quickly turned and left, leaving behind a resolute figure.

The moment Zhou Jiaze stepped out of the house, Zhou Yanhuan quickly packed her things, took Karolide's hand, and hurriedly left the familiar place. Their steps were light and quick, as if they couldn't wait to embark on a new journey.

Just half an hour later, Zhou Yanhuan and Karolide were already seated comfortably on a luxurious private jet.

The cabin was filled with a unique aroma of premium leather and fresh air, creating an incredibly comfortable atmosphere. At that moment, the crew was diligently and methodically making final preparations; the plane was about to take off.

Zhou Yanhuan took her phone out of her pocket, about to switch to airplane mode, when suddenly a clear and pleasant ringtone broke the silence. She glanced down at the screen and saw the name "Chu Tianyao" displayed. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yanhuan pressed the answer button.

Chu Tianyao's deep and magnetic voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, good morning, Miss Zhou!" His voice was like a fine wine that had been aged for many years, mellow and intoxicating. It entered Zhou Yan's ears through the phone receiver, making her heart race.

However, Zhou Yanhuan looked helpless in the face of Chu Tianyao's greeting. She frowned and replied irritably, "Tiger Chu, get to the point. The plane is about to take off." Her words revealed a hint of impatience, but also seemed to contain a trace of inexplicable anticipation.

"Let's get to the point! Here's what happened: I got in touch with your brother through an informant, and this informant suddenly messaged me at 4 a.m. today, saying that your brother has agreed! The meeting time is set for two days from now, and the location is the place you agreed on beforehand. As for the appearance he needs to present at the meeting, just dress up according to the photo you gave me before."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yanhuan responded calmly, then hung up the phone without hesitation, the whole process smooth and efficient. Immediately afterwards, she quickly switched her phone to airplane mode.

Not long after Zhou Yanhuan completed this operation, a huge plane slowly took off, gradually moving away from the capital airport and soaring into the distance...
