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

Congratulations! It's not easy to live abroad.

However, he was the type to swallow his pride and bear it, and he didn't want Zhu Xi to worry, so he always reported good news and never bad news. He also knew that Zhu Xi didn't have time to visit him abroad, so he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, the biggest reason Zhu Xi married Zhou Yinghuai was for him.

Last night, on my way to drink with Zhu Xi, I overheard her talking about her secret reasons for marrying Zhou Yinghuai.

At that moment, all his hardships abroad vanished.

Originally, Zhu He thought that as long as he didn't complain or grumble, he could focus on doing what he liked, and that his sister was doing well, that would be enough.

The number one person he cherished most in this world was Zhu Xi.

Now, he only wants Zhou Yinghuai to cherish Zhu Xi, and has no intention of having the Zhou family bail him out.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can make my own decisions."

Zhou Yinghuai was three years older than him, but out of respect for Zhu Xi, he had to address him as "elder brother-in-law."

But he was older and had been immersed in the business world since childhood, so he saw things more clearly than Zhu He.

"I've also lived abroad, and I know that environment..." Zhou Yinghuai stopped mid-sentence, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't Zhu Tanzhi also putting pressure on you, forcing you to back down?"

Zhu He smiled dismissively, without denying it.

It's easy to tell what kind of person my father is.

"Congratulations! Didn't Yu Qinghua help you?"

Congratulations with a wry smile.

He Mianxin offered to help him, but only because he could help him gain a foothold in the Yu family.

Sincerity versus pretense, pretense versus sincerity—I don't want to distinguish between them when I offer my congratulations.

Zhou Yinghuai's gaze turned cold, and he felt a pang of regret for the brother and sister once again.

There are many people on this earth who are unfit to be parents.

The carriage was quiet, with a cool breeze blowing.

Zhu Xi murmured in her sleep, "Brother, don't go."

Zhou Yinghuai sighed and said in a low voice, "It's better to tell her sooner rather than later."

After all, they only had 24 hours to spend together.

Zhuhe turned around, glanced at her sleeping sister, and said, "She'll understand."

Because as they grew up, separation became a common occurrence.

Zhu smiled and recounted the past to Zhou Yinghuai, "After their divorce, neither of them wanted Xixi. They didn't want her, but I did."

Zhu Fu looked out the window again, recalling the countless snowy winters of his childhood, and the fear that kept Zhu Xi awake all night.

His tone was filled with hatred and disgust for Zhu Tanzhi and He Mianxin, "Zhou Yinghuai, I'll say it again: you must treat my sister well, even better."

"Give her patience, give her time." He spoke each word with deep affection for his sister evident in his clear eyes behind his glasses. "If she makes a mistake, you can tell me, and I'll teach her. If she throws a tantrum, please kneel down and comfort her."

The congratulations were sincere. "If her capriciousness makes you lose patience, if one day you find that you don't love her as much as you thought, please don't say anything too hurtful to her. Call me and I'll come back."

"I will teach my sister."

Although no one ever taught the siblings how to conduct themselves in this society, nor how to live peacefully in this chaotic world.

Zhou Yinghuai answered earnestly, saying sincerely, "This is also my first time loving someone."

When the word "love" was mentioned, Zhou Yinghuai, who was usually very composed, became shy. "I agree to everything you said. Congratulations. If she complains to you in the future that I don't know how to love, please put in a good word for me."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled, "After all, this is the first time I've met someone I truly want to cherish. I love her, deeply."

Congratulations! Raise your hand, palm upright in mid-air, and say, "Definitely!"

With hands clasped tightly, the contract was made.

Zhu Xi, fast asleep, was completely unaware of all this.

Her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and her sleeping face was tender.

Like a cat, it huddled on the edge, dreaming of the Milky Way.

The van sped along the highway and soon arrived in Libei.

Before getting off the highway, Zhou Yinghuai sent Zhu He a phone number and his name.

"The reward for putting in a good word for me," Zhou Yinghuai raised an eyebrow. "Like I said, your well-being is my well-being."

Congratulations on accepting this kindness. Without reciprocating, "Su Daiqing will work at the People's Hospital for 5 years, and he will not leave within those 5 years."

Zhou Yinghuai: "..."

-

Libei Wedding Room.

Zhu Xi's private study.

Looking at the wall of books that had almost moved horizontally, she once again marveled at the power of money.

I cut her a plate of fruit as a congratulatory gesture. "Here you go."

"Brother," Zhu Xi said in disbelief, "if this project were given to the two of us, you'd probably have to spend the entire next 20 days of your vacation here."

Congratulations! They laughed at her for exaggerating, saying, "Don't try to beautify Zhou Yinghuai indirectly; moving companies are everywhere."

Zhu Xi sniffed, looking at the irregularly cut fruit pieces in the fruit plate, and said sarcastically, "See? Even your strawberries aren't as evenly cut as his."

"Really?" Zhu He asked, staring at her with a leisurely air. "You think quite highly of him now."

Zhu Xi's eyes crinkled into a mischievous smile. "What were you thinking about when you were cutting fruit? Your knife skills are so bad, it's obvious you were completely distracted and not paying attention."

No way.

"have!"

Zhu Xi suddenly remembered Zhou Yinghuai's so-called sister-in-law from dinner. Suspicion arose, and she relentlessly pressed for answers, "Brother, are you in a relationship?"

Zhu He was taken aback, then chuckled at her train of thought. "That's not true."

Zhu Xi placed the fruit platter on the desk, pushed Zhu He to the window, and casually pointed, "In broad daylight, no lying is allowed."

"It's getting dark." Zhuhe pointed to the lit streetlights. "Xixi, the sun has set."

"Brother!" Zhu Xi stamped her foot, "You're really in a relationship?!"

Congratulations! She turned her back to her as she left the study. "Dinner will be ready in half an hour. I've made you some soup."

"oh."

Zhu Xi leaned against the wall dejectedly, glancing at the lit streetlights and then at the neglected plate of fruit.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Columbia University is a place you can't stay at; don't try to guess what's on your brother's mind."

During her self-manipulation, Zhou Yinghuai appeared again.

Her hair was half-dry, she was wearing loungewear, and she looked completely at ease.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked as he walked toward her.

Zhu Ximu shook his head blankly.

Zhou Yinghuai stopped in front of her, staring into her beautiful eyes. "Tomorrow morning's outpatient clinic?"

Zhu Xi nodded, drawing out her words in a drawn-out tone, replying in a voice typical of cattle and horses, "Yes, morning clinic."

Zhou Yinghuai looked at her and smiled, "What about this afternoon?"

Zhu Xi was displeased, "You're asking a question you already know the answer to."

He knew her work schedule all too well.

Zhou Yinghuai took a small step forward, raised his hand to tuck her stray hairs behind her ear, and then pinched her cheek. "Sister Xi, you unexpectedly took two days off. You didn't send me the updated duty roster."

Zhu Xi deliberately went against him, saying, "That's your problem, Mr. Zhou."

The two were very close, so close that Zhu Xi could almost see into the folds of Zhou Yinghuai's eyelids.

She felt his laughter and smelled his fresh, clean scent after his shower. "Zhou Yinghuai."

"Hmm?" Zhou Yinghuai lowered his head slightly to meet her gaze. "What's wrong, Sister Xi?"

You stepped on my foot!
