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

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow and smiled, leaving Zhou Yinghuai to clean up the mess.

"I'll see my sister-in-law off the border." Without even looking at He Mianxin and Yu Qingge, she took Le Zhishi's arm and said, "You're such a love-struck fool. My brother's lab had such a big incident recently, so don't keep bothering him about having a child."

Lezhi suddenly blushed, "What? We haven't even registered our marriage yet, how can we have a baby?"

Zhu Xi: "Having a child out of wedlock."

Ignoring Yu Qingge's extremely unpleasant appearance, she continued, "If you don't want children, use contraception. If that doesn't work, have my brother get a tubal ligation."

The single word "also" revealed almost everything about Zhou Yinghuai's little scheme.

Lezhi turned around in surprise, and Zhou Yinghuai smiled helplessly and shrugged.

"Zhou Yinghuai is the one with a love-struck mind," Le Zhishi whispered. "Zhu Xi, are you some kind of monster?"

Zhu Xi raised her eyebrows, "True love! This is true love!"

"My brother can too."

The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, separated amicably.

Zhu Xi watched as Le Zhishi exited customs before the smile on her face slowly faded.

Only after Lezhishi's figure completely disappeared from sight did she raise her hands and tuck them into her hair.

Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, and her eyes were sharp.

The airport was bustling with people, some hurrying along without noticing anything amiss.

Some people were attracted by Zhu Xi's beauty and frequently glanced at her.

He was deterred again by Zhu Xi's fierce gaze.

Zhou Yinghuai greeted him from afar, "Why are you wearing your hair up?"

He chuckled. "Looking down on me?"

Zhu Xi tiptoed and kissed his lips. "It's not that I look down on you, it's just that it's more cost-effective for me to do it myself!"

"How so?" Zhou Yinghuai said he didn't know.

Zhu Xi sneered, "Didn't you hear? Yu Qingge is going to kill my brother."

Zhou Yinghuai: "She has no chance. I'm not just a decoration."

He didn't stop her, but his eyes followed her closely.

Zhu Xi quickly walked up to Yu Qingge, "You like my brother?"

He Mianxin spoke up to stop her, "Xixi, Qingge is still sick."

Zhu Xi frowned and retorted, "Does being sick mean you can kill someone? Are you mentally ill?"

"Mom, are you sick? She just said she was going to kill your son!" Zhu Xi felt that the world must have gone mad.

She knew He Mianxin didn't like her; she was born with a fierce aura, and she deserved it.

But congratulations! What did he do wrong that he's innocent?

"Qingge was angered by you, she was just saying things in anger." He Mianxin held the panting, pale-faced Yu Qingge in her arms. "She's sick, Xixi, you're a doctor, you should understand your patients."

Zhu Xi was amused by these words, finding them utterly ridiculous.

"So my brother deserved to die?" Her voice suddenly rose, her eyes as cold as ice. "Just because he didn't accept your stepdaughter's pitiful affection?"

Zhou Yinghuai promptly added, "Ms. He, you married into the Yu family first, and then Yu Qingge liked to congratulate you. This is against human ethics in China."

His tone sounded calm, but his words were full of sarcasm: "The Yu family has craved face their whole lives. For the sake of face, they pushed their orphaned daughter into a marriage of convenience. For the sake of face, they sacrificed other people's marriages."

"Does he really intend to force himself on his daughter just because of her shameful infatuation?"

Yu Qingge was weak and listless, her eyes bloodshot. She wanted to speak, but Zhu Xi shut her down with a single sentence.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Xi admitted that before Yu Qingge's true feelings came to light, she had always thought Yu Qingge was half a good person.

But now it seems she was too naive.

There are no good people in the Yu family; they are just good at pretending.

He Mianxin: "Xixi, wouldn't it be better to strengthen family ties?"

Zhu Xi: "A marriage between close relatives would be wonderful! I've made the decision; let Yu Qinghuan marry Zhu He. Is that alright?"

He Mianxin's anger intensified, feeling that her daughter was stubborn, inconsiderate, and ignorant.

Aside from making her angry, he can't do anything else.

"Mom," Zhu Xi's voice suddenly softened, "I can make decisions for my brother, but can you be the mistress of the Yu family?"

Yu Qingge roared, her voice hoarse, "Don't even think about it!"

She pulled her hand away from He Mianxin's and faced the mother and daughter, "Don't even think about it!"

Zhu Xi crossed her arms and took a step back, which landed right in Zhou Yinghuai's arms.

She looked up and was quickly met with Zhou Yinghuai's deep gaze.

He smiled. "Going home?"

"Will there be any excitement when I get home?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yinghuai hugged her, "Let's look at something good to cleanse our eyes."

Zhu Xi nodded, "Alright then."

"Walk."

Before the two turned around, Zhou Yinghuai glanced at Yu Qingge lightly.

"I can understand why you ran away from your wedding to celebrate."

"Your evil is ingrained in your very bones, Yu Qingge, that love turned to hate and then became terrifying."

Yu Qingge's face flushed red. "What do you know! Even if I hadn't run away from the wedding, you and Zhu Xi... humph, dream on!"

Zhou Yinghuai wasn't angry. "So, you've brought this upon yourself."

Zhu Xi didn't turn around; she was looking at the message Le Zhi sent her after boarding the plane.

Zhou Yinghuai's businesslike voice was right next to my ear, not gentle at all.

"Fanzhou Technology has officially declared war on the Yu family!" he said. "I will congratulate the Yu family on the lab fire."

"Two months, I want 10% of the Yu family's shares. And so on, a year later, I will hold a wedding with Zhu Xi. The Yu family's shares will be the prize."

Yu Qingge: "You dare! Do you think the Wen family behind me is just for show?"

Zhou Yinghuai remained calm and composed, saying, "Today's warning is just a verbal warning; the official document will be posted on the official accounts of Fanzhou Technology's various platforms tomorrow."

"Yu Qingge, you should be glad I didn't include Dazhou Group."

As Zhu Xi and her husband left the airport, He Mianxin watched their embracing figures, feeling an indescribable bitterness and sorrow in her heart.

Where exactly did we go wrong?

They were a harmonious family at the beginning.

Wishing you a well-behaved and sensible daughter, and congratulations on your success and achievement.

He Mian was strong-willed and fought for herself her whole life, but in the end, she and her mother were estranged and separated from their child.

Yu Qingge kept coughing, so she turned around and reached out to help her.

He was angrily shoved away by Yu Qingge, who snapped, "I don't need it!"

"Qingge," she called, "let's go home."

-

The Zhu Xi couple left the airport.

Zhou Yinghuai held her icy hand and placed it on his abs. "Why are your hands so cold?"

Zhu Xi's clear eyes were moist, unable to suppress the inexplicable sorrow in her heart.

Zhou Yinghuai comforted her, saying, "Did you really take those words to heart?"

"No." Zhu Xi straddled him, cupped his handsome face, and kissed him. "Zhou Yinghuai, the war has already begun, hasn't it?"

Zhou Yinghuai placed his large hand on her waist and pulled her forward a bit. "Hmm, let's start the battle, the kind where we go all out."

"Will your parents approve?" she couldn't help but worry. "Their relationship..."

Her worries were silenced by his clear, cool lips and tongue. Zhou Yinghuai tenderly sucked on her lips, teasing her with his tongue and dispelling her anxieties.

The kiss ended.

Zhu Xi's eyes welled up with tears as she nestled against his neck.

"Mrs. Zhou, instead of talking about those things, why don't you comment on my kissing skills? Hmm? Feel it."

"Honey, has my kissing skill improved?"
