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

"My brother was so outstanding in school, he won so many awards that I can't even remember which one it was."

After Zhou Lingyi finished taking the photos, she put her phone away contentedly. "Sister-in-law, do you want to know?"

Zhu Xi nodded almost instinctively.

"I'll find some time to organize it at home, categorize it by time, and make it into a video for you."

Zhu Xi thanked him and glanced back.

Zhou Yinghuai looked up at that moment, hooking his handbag around Lingyi's arm, his eyes still gleaming with smugness.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled tenderly.

"Lingyi, do you remember which year it was?" Zhu Xi turned around with a smile. They were still a short distance from the apartment building.

While Zhou Yinghuai was talking to Lan Qi, he fell a little behind the two of them.

Before she could hear the secret she had been deliberately keeping, her younger sister had already revealed it.

-

Zhou Lingyi was curious about everything about Huanxi Sha.

Once inside, I couldn't help but look around.

She toured all the bedrooms except the master bedroom.

Seeing the clean and uninhabited second bedroom, my anxiety finally subsided.

Lan Qi, standing behind her, saw through her thoughts and teased, "Feeling at ease now?"

Zhou Lingyi turned around in his arms, looking nonchalant, "Look at how my brother decorated this house, you should learn from him."

Lan Qi put his arm around her waist, their bodies pressed together. "Study! You're in this state, how could I dare disobey what the elders and younger ones say?"

Zhou Lingyi nestled in his arms, but she was already tired after walking only a few steps.

"Blue Flag".

"Um."

"You and my brother have known each other since childhood. My brother is gold, how come you're dirt?"

Lan Qi's temples throbbed; he "regarded gold as dirt."

He's giving up, saying, "Nobody can live without the other."

Zhou Lingyi pushed him away and rolled her eyes at him a few times. "I really should have listened to my brother."

Lanqi knew he shouldn't have come to the housewarming party today.

The four of them present a stark contrast.

With Zhou Lingyi's pregnancy hormones, it would be strange if she didn't cause trouble.

He went forward to hug the person, but was pushed away.

Zhou Lingyi: "I was so blind to choose you two as soon as I entered society."

Lanqi pleaded, "Baby, if you hear these words, you'll think you were born when your parents weren't loving."

"fall?"

Zhou Lingyi's disdain deepened. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

As luck would have it, Zhu Xi, who had brought the gifts, overheard them arguing.

dilemma.

Zhou Yinghuai made milk tea for Lingyi and then came over.

With one arm around Zhu Xi, he said, "If you want to argue, go to the basement. After you're done, Lingyi can come up alone."

He glared at Lan Qi, his temper flaring, and snapped, "You, get a taxi from the underground garage, accelerate, and get out of here!"

Zhu Xi pinched Zhou Yinghuai's hand behind his back, preventing him from saying any more.

She shook the box in her hand. "Lingyi, give the baby a gift."

Zhou Lingyi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Sister-in-law~"

The two women, sister-in-law and aunt, went to the sofa in the living room.

Zhu Xi placed a soft pillow behind her lower back, saying, "You can't be careless in the early stages of pregnancy; you need to protect your back."

"Take off your shoes," Zhu Xi said with a smile. "This sofa is very comfortable."

Zhou Lingyi replied obediently, "It's so nice to have a sister-in-law."

"Isn't my brother good?" The two had fruit platters, one for Zhou Lingyi and the other for Zhu Xi.

Lan Qi arrived empty-handed and wanted tea, but there wasn't any.

I wanted to drink water, but there wasn't even a disposable cup available.

He sat on a single sofa, crossed his legs, and sent a message complaining to Sheng Xiali and the others in their group chat.

Lan Qi: [The way Zhou Yinghuai's family treats guests is really not something to be proud of.]

They return fastest in the height of summer.

In the sweltering summer: [Is Dean Zhu not home? Why is she treating the patients like this?]

Lou Yan saw the message late, but the verbal abuse was still present.

Lou Yan replied: "It's only because we live in a society governed by the rule of law that you've been saved. In any dynasty, child abduction would be punishable by death a thousand times over."

Blue Flag was attacked from both sides, and its humiliation was doubled.

"Sister-in-law," he deliberately let out a long sigh, "Is the water supply to Huanxi Sha cut off?"

Zhu Xi was accompanying Zhou Lingyi to look at the little gold lock, and forgot about the blue flag next to her.

"The call was not connected..."

After a pause, Zhu Xi understood, "Would soda water be alright?"

Before Lan Qi could respond, Zhou Yinghuai said, "I'm cooking, and I don't know how to make tea."

Lan Qi reluctantly accepted the soda water, saying, "Soda water is good, I love drinking soda water."

Zhu Xi prepared many gifts, and she let Zhou Lingyi look at them herself first.

She went to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of soda water, and then got herself a bottle of lime juice.

I passed by the kitchen and glanced inside.

Zhou Yinghuai was chopping vegetables, wearing an apron that he had taken from Yilongju at some point.

She bought it; it was almost brand new and she had never worn it.

It says so.

My wife enjoys my cooking, and I'm proud of it.

"Hey!" She stopped and stood at the kitchen doorway.

Zhou Yinghuai, who was chopping vegetables, turned around and saw that the shredded ginger he had cut was neatly arranged in a small dish, just like during military training.

Are you hungry?

Zhu Xi shook her head. "If I don't do any work, won't Lingyi tell Mom, and then everyone at the old house will think I'm bullying you?"

Zhou Yinghuai put down the kitchen knife, strode towards her, and pressed his forehead against hers.

Their noses brushed against each other, their breaths mingling.

"Then kiss me? I threatened Lingyi to shut her up."

Zhu Xi backed away, saying, "No kissing! Keep doing your work."

She chuckled, "I'll send Lingyi more gifts to win her over!"

Zhou Yinghuai watched her leave with doting eyes, taking small, quick steps and shaking her head.

Soon, laughter came from the living room.

It sounds good.

Except for that bastard Lanqi's lewd laughter.

He turned back, picked up the kitchen knife, and went to the living room.

He waved in the air, "Blue Flag, come get to work!"

"I'm a guest," Lan Qi said, still lounging with his legs crossed, looking relaxed. "Guests don't work!"

Zhou Yinghuai: "You're just a deliveryman."

Zhou Lingyi casually threw the leftover fruit peels at him, saying, "Delivery guy, get lost, don't get in my way."

The Blue Flag forces, having gained no advantage, simply relied on Zhu Xi to secure a small victory of one or two taels of silver.

"Sister-in-law, look at the husband you found!"

Zhu Xi was unwittingly drawn into the vortex.

Lan Qi glanced at the cold glint of the blade, recalling the explanation Zhu Xi had given Zhou Lingyi about the ordinary little gold lock.

I knew it was part of the dowry prepared for her as a congratulatory gift.

I've heard Zhou Lingyi talk about the relationship between the Zhu siblings more than once.

"Sister-in-law, your brother didn't meet Zhou Yinghuai before you got your marriage certificate, did he?"

"no."

"This is such a big life event, and you got your marriage certificate without even meeting your brother. Isn't he angry?"

Zhu Xi took a sip of lime juice, shook her head, and said, "We siblings don't interfere with each other's decisions. It's enough that we've informed each other."

Lan Qi then launched into a scathing critique: "You're destined to be a hospital director; that kind of ambition is beyond the reach of most. But seriously, your taste in men is terrible!"

"It's terrible! How can you just settle for something like this? You're such a good girl."

Lanqi had been suppressed for too long, and now that he saw the crack, he went crazy.

Zhu Xi, who was affected: She wished she could go to the toilet instead of being here.

Lan Qi looked at Zhou Yinghuai provocatively, "You're all safe and sound thanks to the rule of law! Otherwise, being executed a thousand times wouldn't be enough to appease Brother Zhu Xi!"

"Pfft!"

Zhou Lingyi laughed out loud, "Lan Qi, this is the first time I've ever seen you take advantage of my brother in all my years of life."
