It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Zhu Xi's mind was in complete chaos.

Only after smelling Zhou Yinghuai's scent did she regain some clarity.

Zhou Yinghuai stroked her hair and pressed his forehead against hers.

Their breaths mingled, and Zhu Xi shrank back shyly, burying her head in her coat, which was filled with Zhou Yinghuai's scent.

Now, there's no escape.

Zhou Yinghuai chuckled and tapped her forehead with his knuckles through her coat. "Sister Xi, get up."

Zhu Xi's voice was muffled as she replied, "Okay."

"They've all arrived."

Zhu Xi peeked out from under her coat, her slightly swollen eyes full of curiosity. "Them?"

Zhou Yinghuai smiled at her, "Yes, them."

Zhu Xi got off the car with a great deal of curiosity.

Having not basked in the sun for several days, she deliberately left the dappled shade of the trees, exposing herself completely to the sunlight.

She looked up at the sky.

Large, fluffy white clouds floated by like cotton candy.

The leaves are swaying, and the clouds are flying.

Her gaze returned to her forehead, and she suddenly saw Zhou Yinghuai chatting and laughing with Lou Yanhui.

The wind is blowing.

The mind is the same.

Huo Xi swung his long legs over and put a sun hat on her head. "Girl, you'll get sunspots."

Zhu Xi pouted, her heart completely captivated by her best friend's affection.

"You finally decided to come back."

The two best friends hugged each other.

They hugged for a while, then separated, looked at each other, cried and wailed, and hugged each other again.

And so it goes.

This attracted the attention of two equally tall men standing under a nearby tree.

Lou Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Appearance fee."

Zhou Yinghuai put one hand in his pocket and said, "Don't let that young widow bother her. What good can she learn from following you?"

Lou Yan glanced at him coldly, her gaze lowering slightly, lingering for a moment below his abs.

"When you ever eat grapes and can't taste anything, remember to come find me!"

Zhou Yinghuai: "There's absolutely no need for that!"

Lou Yan replied, "It's a secret lesson; I won't laugh at you!"

After saying that, he lifted his foot and made up an excuse to send Huo Xi back to the car to find something.

Zhu Xi was disappointed and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yinghuai again.

Clutching the straps of her overalls with both hands, she took off running as Zhou Yinghuai drew closer, heading to the security room at the entrance of the residential complex to find Zhu He.

The brother and sister haven't been back to this old house in the neighboring city much since they went to university.

This time, the team returned in a large and impressive manner.

Congratulations on completing the formalities, paying off the outstanding property management fees, and getting a new access card.

He asked Zhu Xi, "Do you want to keep it yourself?"

Zhu Xi looked at the small blue sign, glanced at the ancient building, and shook her head.

"Then I'll give it to Zhou Yinghuai."

Zhu Xi was taken aback, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Why did you give it to him?"

"Then give it to you?" Zhu He laughed. "Give it to him, I think he really wants it."

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow. "Whatever you say."

-

A group of handsome men and beautiful women entered the residential area, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

He would offer his congratulations first, and occasionally, if he ran into an old neighbor, he would exchange a few pleasantries with him.

Zhu Xi, who was enjoying the peace and quiet, followed behind and chatted with Huo Xila.

Huo Xi linked arms with her, looking quite interested. "Such a big thing as moving, and Zhou Yinghuai had to tell me about it."

Zhu Xi gave a wry smile. "My brother came back suddenly, and moving wasn't part of the plan."

"I didn't mean to trouble you, I was planning to..."

She paused and glanced at Zhou Yinghuai, who was walking side by side with Zhu He at the front.

"Zhou Yinghuai offered to help me move before, but I didn't agree."

Huo Xi sighed, "Why? There are plenty of men available, might as well use them. Girl, no matter where you are, if there's a man, you have to make use of him!"

"Just looking at Zhou Yinghuai's face is enough to make you feel full; why would he need to eat grains?"

Since learning that her husband was a sandwich, Hoshi's mind has exploded like an atomic bomb.

Having also met Lou Yanhui, a playful and dissolute woman, her current level of unbridled behavior is truly exceptional.

"Did you try it?" Huo Xi asked, nuzzling her shoulder.

The stairs were narrow, and the footsteps and chatter of the men in front of them drowned out the two best friends' private conversation.

Zhu Xi glanced at Huo Xi, "Grandma, lower your voice. Is this something to be proud of?"

Huo Xi said "Oh," paused for two seconds, and then asked, "You two aren't asleep yet?"

Zhu Xi: "..."

Huo Xi clicked his tongue, "It's such a pity about Zhou Yinghuai! You should have been living the high life, but now you're eating boiled cabbage while watching braised pork, feeling pathetic and frustrated."

Zhu Xi covered her mouth and pulled her to a corner on the second-floor landing. "Shut up."

Hoshi blinked and agreed.

Zhu Xi withdrew her hand, rubbing her shoulder with her palm. "You go to sleep, I'm on a diet!"

Huo Xi continued to climb up, arm in arm with her. "I've heard something about Zhou Yinghuai."

"What is it?"

Didn't he tell you?

Zhu Xi had her right hand in her pocket. "Our relationship isn't as good as you think."

The two stopped on the third floor again.

Huo Xi glanced up; the men had already entered the house.

"The elders of the Zhou family were dissatisfied, saying that now that the person in power is married, he has not brought his wife home."

She paused, then continued, "You know, wealthy families sometimes care about these formalities and harmless little things. Zhou Yinghuai has been under a lot of pressure, as have your protective mother-in-law and father-in-law."

Zhu Xi wasn't surprised by this; she had heard He Mianxin complain about it when they got engaged.

He Mianxin's original words were: "Since you've agreed to marry Xixi and gotten engaged, you should hurry up and get married. What are you dragging your feet on?"

Yu Qinghua immediately followed up, "Once we're engaged and have the marriage certificate, it's a done deal. What's the rush?"

"It's not that I'm impatient! It's just that Zhu Xi has that kind of temper; if she promises something today but changes it tomorrow, it's not good for the Yu family."

Yu Qinghua didn't laugh, and his words were icy cold: "Once she's on the ship, she can't just get off whenever she wants."

Therefore, Zhu Xi knew that even if her mother-in-law didn't mention marriage, He Mianxin wouldn't give up easily, and she and Zhou Yinghuai would drag things out for a year.

After all, registering the marriage is done in secret, while holding a wedding ceremony is when things become public.

Now that the wedding has taken place and the fact is established, the eyes of everyone in Libei who covet Zhou Yinghuai should close.

Huo Xi couldn't bear to hide it from her, "Xi Xi, there's more than one."

Zhu Xi asked with a smile, "What else?"

"A few days ago, Zhou Yinghuai stayed overnight at Qinhuaiyuan."

Qinhuai Source.

The largest and most famous club in Libei.

In this gray industry that lies between legality and illegality, many girls have made their fortunes, and many men have also amassed considerable wealth there.

Zhu Xi had never been there, but she had heard of it.

Qin Huaiyuan's specialty is serving people.

Huo Xi: "Xi Xi, Qin Huaiyuan is Lou Yan Hui's territory. I secretly looked at his phone while he was asleep to find the surveillance footage."

"Unfortunately, we still haven't found out what Zhou Yinghuai did that night."
