Movie/TV series: Starting with Ode to Joy, I opened my own private kitchen.

Guan Xiaodi wore a white T-shirt and jeans, looking youthful and energetic.

Upon hearing Su Chang's question, she immediately nodded and said in a relaxed tone, "It's all arranged long ago, don't worry, boss."

Su Chang nodded, her gaze sweeping across the streets outside the airport, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a convoy of luxury cars consisting of Cadillacs and Lincoln limousines slowly drove up and stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, and a tall, white man in a black suit stepped out, followed by a group of burly men also dressed in black.

"Oh! Wei, welcome to Orlando!" The white man stepped forward, a warm smile on his face, and shook hands with Su Chang. His English was heavily accented with an American accent, and his voice was loud and powerful.

·· ··Requesting flowers··· ········

"Mike, long time no see." Su Chang smiled slightly, shook Mike's hand, and spoke with a hint of familiarity.

Mike is Su Chang's classmate from Harvard University in the United States, and also the general manager of a very well-known security company in Miami. Su Chang had Guan Xiaodi contact Mike beforehand, so Mike chose to come and greet her personally.

"Mr. Su, the car is ready. Please get in." Mike gestured for Su Chang to get in.

Su Chang nodded, glanced back at Guan Juer, Guan Xiaodi, and Cui Tianqi, and gestured for them to follow.

Guan Juer wore a light blue dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, a faint smile on her face. She gently took Su Chang's arm and followed him towards the Lincoln limousine in the middle.

Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi followed behind, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings as they walked. After all, this wasn't China, and everyone knew how unsafe this "free country" was.

The convoy slowly drove away from the airport and headed towards the city along the wide highway.

..... ...... ....

Inside the car, Su Chang leaned back in the comfortable seat, her gaze fixed on the scenery rushing past through the window. The sky over Orlando was a clear, deep blue, and the sunlight bathed the earth, creating a warm and comforting atmosphere.

"Mike, have you found him?" Su Chang suddenly asked, his tone serious.

Mike, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around immediately upon hearing Su Chang's question and nodded: "Found it, Mr. Su. But since you just got off the plane, why don't you go to the hotel and rest for a while? I'll take you there after you've rested."

Su Chang frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Mike's arrangement. He had intended to go directly there, but seeing the weariness on Guan Juer's face beside him, he nodded and agreed to Mike's suggestion.

"Alright, let's go to the hotel and rest for a bit then," Su Chang said softly, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Guan Juer heard Su Chang's words and saw the worry in his eyes. She gently squeezed his hand and gave him a tender smile: "Thank you, Su Chang."

Su Chang smiled slightly and gently patted Guan Juer's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.

······

In the afternoon, at a hotel in downtown Orlando.

Su Chang was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt someone pushing her and calling her name.

Su Chang opened her eyes and saw Guan Juer, while Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi were getting dressed beside her.

Su Chang asked with a puzzled look, "Guan Guan, what's wrong?"

Guan Juer pulled Su Chang's arm and urged, "Brother Su Chang, get up! We should get going."

Su Chang wanted to sleep a little longer, but thinking about the purpose of her visit, she let Guan Juer pull her up and started getting dressed and washing up.

······

A convoy soon entered a luxurious villa area near Disney headquarters, a beautiful and tree-lined area.

The convoy stopped in front of a villa, where Mike and his men in black stood respectfully waiting.

Guan Juer couldn't wait to get out of the car and run to the villa's door, ringing the doorbell. Su Chang, however, didn't rush to get out. Not long after, a familiar face appeared on the screen next to the door.

Upon seeing that face, Guan Juer excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Jiang Lai, I'm here! Open the door!"

Chapter 339 Disney Trip

Jiang Lai on the screen was clearly taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting Guan Juer to suddenly appear there. However, she quickly recovered, a gentle smile appearing on her face, and gently pressed the button to open the door.

The door slowly opened, and Jiang Lai walked out of the villa. She was wearing a loose maternity dress, her belly slightly protruding, and her face showed a hint of surprise and joy.

"Guan Guan, what brings you here?" Jiang Lai's voice was gentle and kind, with a hint of surprise.

Guan Juer immediately ran over and hugged Jiang Lai tightly, her face full of excitement: "Sister Jiang Lai, I missed you, so I came to see you!"

Su Chang got out of the car at this moment and was stunned when he saw Jiang Lai's pregnant belly. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Lai to be pregnant, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Lai Lai, what's wrong with you...?" Su Chang stepped forward, his gaze falling on Jiang Lai's stomach, his tone tinged with doubt.

Jiang Lai panicked upon seeing Su Chang and turned to walk into the house. Su Chang, however, wouldn't let Jiang Lai get away so easily. He quickened his pace, grabbed Jiang Lai's arm, and said, "Lai Lai, don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

Jiang Lai's eyes were red, her lips were pursed, and she looked at Su Chang with a stubborn expression, without saying a word.

Seeing the two of them at loggerheads, Guan Juer quickly tugged at Su Chang's arm and tried to mediate, "Brother Su Chang, Sister Jiang Lai is pregnant. Be gentle, let's talk things out."

Hearing Guan Juer's words, Su Chang also released Jiang Lai's arm and said gently, "Lai Lai, you've been out for more than five months now, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Did you plan to never tell me that we have a child if I didn't come to see you?"

Jiang Lai pursed her lips and said, "How do you know this child is yours? Maybe it's mine and some random guy's?"

Su Chang glared fiercely at Jiang Lai, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said, "Say it again."

Jiang Lai was startled by Su Chang's gaze and took two steps back. Then, tears streamed down her face, and she looked aggrieved. Guan Juer quickly stepped forward and hugged Jiang Lai, saying, "Sister Lai Lai, don't cry. Brother Su Chang didn't mean to be mean to you. He just cares about you too much."

Then Guan Juer glared at Su Chang in annoyance and said, "Brother Su Chang, you know Sister Lai Lai's temper, why are you getting angry?" As she spoke, she winked at Su Chang.

Su Chang felt a pang of heartache when he saw Jiang Lai crying, but his pride prevented him from speaking. Now, with Guan Juer offering him an out, Su Chang sighed, went over, hugged Jiang Lai tightly, and gently comforted her, "It's alright, Lai Lai. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so harsh with you."

Jiang Lai struggled slightly in Su Chang's arms, patting Su Chang's chest and saying, "You bastard, you son of a bitch, you're mean to me, don't touch me."

Seeing that Jiang Lai was still being so unruly, Su Chang was too lazy to say anything more. He simply picked Jiang Lai up in a princess carry and carried her into the house, which startled Jiang Lai so much that she screamed.

Guan Juer and the other two women didn't stop them; they all looked at the two with maternal smiles.

Su Chang carried Jiang Lai into the villa, followed closely by Guan Juer, Guan Xiaodi, and Cui Tianqi.

The villa's interior is decorated in a simple yet grand style. The spacious living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa and a huge coffee table. Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire space exceptionally bright.

Jiang Lai struggled in Su Chang's arms for a few moments, but when she couldn't break free, she gave up resisting, though she still muttered, "Put me down, you bastard!"

Su Chang looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone filled with affection: "Stop fooling around, you're pregnant now, be careful not to upset the baby."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai immediately fell silent, a complex expression flashing across her face. She lowered her head, no longer speaking, but instead gripped Su Chang's clothes tightly with both hands.

Su Chang gently placed her on the sofa, then sat down beside her, looking at her tenderly: "Lai Lai, what are you thinking? Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Jiang Lai raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her voice choked with emotion: "I... I just didn't want to put you in a difficult position, after all, my brother... and you're so busy, I don't want to be a burden to you."

Su Chang sighed and gently stroked her cheek: "Silly girl, you are you, your brother is your brother, what does what Jiang Haokun did have to do with you? And how could you be a burden to me? You are one of the most important people to me, and our child is my most precious treasure."

Jiang Lai finally couldn't hold back her tears and threw herself into Su Chang's arms, her voice trembling: "I'm sorry, Su Chang... I was just scared, scared that you would stop liking me because of my brother's situation. I just wanted the child to stay by my side."

Su Chang hugged her tightly, his voice firm: "Lai Lai, listen carefully. I chose you not because of any other factor, but because I love you. No matter what happens, as long as you still love me, I will always be by your side."

Jiang Lai looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears: "Really?"

Su Chang nodded and gently wiped away her tears: "Of course it's true, I, Su Chang, keep my word."

Guan Juer stood aside, watching the two finally resolve their differences, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She gently tugged at Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi's sleeves and whispered, "Let's go out and let them have a good talk."

Guan Xiaodi and Cui Tianqi nodded, and the three of them quietly left the living room, leaving Su Chang and Jiang Lai alone.

After leaving the villa, Guan Juer stretched and smiled easily: "Great, they've finally made up."

Guan Xiaodi smiled and nodded: "Yes, the boss and Sister Jiang Lai have always had a good relationship, but Jiang Haokun, that scoundrel, has really caused a lot of harm."

Cui Tianqi said with some emotion, "Yes, I was also involved in that incident. That bastard actually tried to control all the sisters and threaten the boss."

Guan Juer patted her shoulder and laughed, "Tianqi, don't overthink it. You've already set things right and are now the boss's woman too."

Cui Tianqi sighed and said, "Xiao Di, I know, but I still feel extremely angry when I think about what happened that time."

Guan Xiaodi smiled and comforted her, "Sister Tianqi, it's okay, we're both fine now, aren't we?"

After the three of them laughed and joked for a while, Guan Juer suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Sister Xiaodi, what are our plans next?"

Guan Xiaodi nodded: "The boss told us before that after they make up, we should go to Disneyland. After all, we're already here, we can't just leave empty-handed."

Guan Juer's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! I've always wanted to go to Disneyland! I want to see what the differences are between the headquarters and the one in China."

Cui Tianqi excitedly added, "I want to go too! I heard that Disney in Orlando is the world's largest, and there are lots of fun things to do there."

Guan Xiaodi smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled. We'll set off after the boss and Sister Jiang Lai finish their conversation."

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Su Chang and Jiang Lai had regained their composure. Jiang Lai leaned on Su Chang's shoulder, a happy smile on her face.

"Su Chang, thank you for coming to see me," Jiang Lai said softly.

Su Chang glanced down at her and chuckled, "Silly girl, who else would I come to if not you? You're my woman..."

Jiang Lai blushed and lightly punched him: "With so many women, how would I know when a busy man like you would think of me?"

Su Chang coughed awkwardly twice, then said, "Well... I am a bit of a womanizer, but you are all very important to me, and you are my first woman, so you are especially important."

Jiang Lai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Alright, I'm satisfied with what you said. Have you brought any more sisters into the house while I was away?"

Su Chang awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent. After all, he had taken in quite a few women, both those he hadn't yet taken in, and he really couldn't answer Jiang Lai's question.

Jiang Lai, seeing his shifty eyes, knew perfectly well that this womanizer had expanded his harem again. She said irritably, "You, Su Chang, you're really something..."

Su Chang laughed and hugged her even tighter: "That's because you're not here."

Jiang Lai didn't believe his nonsense, but she didn't press the matter further.

The two chatted for a while longer when Su Chang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Lai Lai, how far along are you in your pregnancy? And I remember I was using protection, how did you get pregnant?"

Jiang Lai touched her belly, a little embarrassed: "It's been more than five months. It was the last time I left that I poked a lot of holes in those umbrellas with a needle."

Su Chang was somewhat surprised: "Did you plan this all along?"

Jiang Lai lowered her head, her voice tinged with guilt: "I... I already said, I thought you were planning to spend the rest of your life with the child because of Jiang Haokun's matter."

Su Chang sighed and gently stroked her hair: "Lai Lai, you must tell me if anything happens in the future. Don't bear it all alone anymore, and don't overthink things, okay?"

Jiang Lai nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "Okay, I understand."

Just then, Guan Juer, Guan Xiaodi, and Cui Tianqi walked in from outside.

Seeing that the two had made up, Guan Juer smiled brightly and asked, "Brother Su Chang, Sister Jiang Lai, are you done chatting?"

Su Chang nodded and smiled, "We're done talking. Is there anything else you need?"

　3.9 Guan Xiaodi stepped forward and said with a smile, "Boss, we're planning to go to Disneyland. Would you and Sister Jiang Lai like to come along?"
