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

Zhu Xi returned to her department.

Su Daiqing followed behind, carrying the food box.

Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.

Zhu Xi looked in the mirror, tilting her neck to the side; the red marks were still visible.

Su Daiqing put down the food box, leaned against the table, and asked, "Asleep?"

"Hmm." Zhu Xi didn't look at him, took out a concealer from the cabinet, and applied it with her fingertip.

Su Daiqing blinked. "Really in love?"

Zhu Xi glanced back at him and nodded.

"Do you know anything about his past?" Su Daiqing paused. "How long have you known each other?"

Zhu Xi put on her white coat, tied her hair up, and stood still. "I only look at the present, not the past."

"What about the future?"

"The future is the future, I can't see that far ahead." Zhu Xi smiled at Su Daiqing, "I love him, right now, in the present moment."

"Su Daiqing, to be honest, I like it when he kisses me and touches me, and I also like it when he takes as much as he wants from me."

Su Daiqing frowned, all the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

Zhu Xi stepped forward and hugged him. "Su Daiqing, let's go, to where you belong."

"I don't want to leave." Su Daiqing's words were bitter, filled with sorrow. "I don't want to leave you."

Zhu Xi nodded and stopped hugging him.

"We loved each other passionately; in the past, we were both happy."

When you're in love, give it your all and you'll experience lots of joy.

That's enough.

She smiled brightly and continued, "Su Daiqing, life is a vast ocean, full of stumbles and falls, and the road ahead is long. What you can't let go of is that I took the first step forward, that's all."

After saying that, Zhu Xi opened the food box that Zhou Yinghuai had prepared.

The food was served in several layers, which was very thoughtful.

She showed Su Daiqing the details, layer by layer.

Then he took a strawberry-flavored lollipop from the middle and put it in Su Daiqing's hand.

"Su Daiqing, from now on, we owe each other nothing."

Whether it's her tolerance for the past or her carefree attitude of letting go of everything and moving forward first.

Zhu Xi no longer does anything to Su Daiqing.

Su Daiqing clutched the candy tightly. "Zhu Er, are you trying to get rid of me? You're in such a hurry to send me away?"

"Think what you want!" Zhu Xi put her hands in her pockets, preparing to go find Director Hao. "If you're not leaving, please keep your distance from my husband in the future."

Su Daiqing was unwilling to give up. "Are you afraid I'll hit him?"

Zhu Xi had already reached the doorway, standing in the light and shadow, her whole being radiant and translucent.

"Su Daiqing, I'm just afraid you'll get beaten to a pulp!"

She turned and left, clean and carefree, "Don't upset my husband!"

Su Daiqing: "..."

-

Zhou Yinghuai had already arrived at the office.

"Go and buy me a few more pairs of gold-rimmed glasses in the next few days; I need them."

Seeing that his boss was in a good mood, Chen Bei became bolder.

"Boss, did you take your wife to school?"

Zhou Yinghuai raised an eyebrow and shook the mouse. "Sent it."

"Have they confessed everything?"

"He's confessed everything." Zhou Yinghuai paused. "You've been talking a lot today."

Chen Bei stood opposite him, pushing the freshly brewed coffee towards Zhou Yinghuai's side, "Didn't you tell your sister-in-law that the hospital is dangerous and she shouldn't wander around?"

Zhou Yinghuai leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed. "I told you, don't go out unless absolutely necessary."

I'm afraid Zhu Xi won't obey.

Chen Bei clicked his tongue. "I've wiped out all the people we found in the summer. Now the hospital is full of our people."

"He Mianxin still wants to see her?" Zhou Yinghuai's mood soured again. "That good-for-nothing Sheng Xiali."

Chen Bei agreed, saying that Sheng Xiali was really useless. "Yu Qingge hasn't left the house these past few days, and she's not at the Yu family home, so we don't know how she's doing. Yu Qinghua is also sick, and He Mianxin called the young master of the Yu family back from school."

Chen Bei knew the seriousness of the matter.

He Mianxin still wanted to find Zhu Xi, selfishly believing that as long as Zhu Xi contacted Yu Qingge, all the problems would be solved.

Chen Bei was horrified to hear that such a selfish mother existed in the world.

However, he didn't understand why his boss would entrust his wife's affairs to someone else.

"Brother," Chen Bei changed his form of address, "why did you let Sheng Xia interfere in your sister-in-law's affairs?"

Zhou Yinghuai clasped his hands together, picked up his coffee and took a sip. "We have to give him something to look forward to."

Chen Bei still didn't understand, "He likes his sister-in-law in the middle of summer?"

Zhou Yinghuai glanced at him and said, "If you can't speak properly, you might as well donate it."

Chen Bei pursed his lips, his eyes darting around, expressing all the questions he wanted to ask.

After setting down his coffee cup, Zhou Yinghuai picked up a photo of Zhu Xi from the table. "I treated Zhu Xi like a younger sister during the height of summer."

"what?"

"I once had a younger sister in the height of summer. She fell ill and passed away when she was six years old." The topic suddenly turned heavy.

Chen Bei, unaware of the situation, swallowed back the teasing words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Zhu Xi didn't know either.

Zhou Yinghuai had no intention of telling Zhu Xi.

"What about our people?" Chen Bei probed, unsure of what to do.

Zhou Yinghuai looked at him with clear eyes, "If Zhu Xi finds out, we should all give the same story and say it was arranged in the middle of summer."

Chen Bei accepted the order and left with the documents.

Just as the person reached the door, another voice came from behind, "Don't forget to buy the gold-rimmed glasses."

"Okay, boss."

The office has returned to its quiet state.

Zhou Yinghuai took another sip of coffee and found it somewhat bitter.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the rippling water.

I'm used to drinking this, so why does it suddenly taste bitter?

He pressed the intercom, "Chen Bei, bring in a latte."

Just as Chen Bei replied "okay," Lou Yan called back.

Zhou Yinghuai stood up, holding his phone, walked a few steps to the window, and slowly answered, "Go on."

Lou Yan is no longer in China.

"I borrowed your private jet and just wanted to let you know."

Zhou Yinghuai gave a disdainful smile. "And yours?"

There was silence in the receiver for a few seconds.

If it weren't for the sound of waves crashing against the shore, Zhou Yinghuai would have thought Lou Yanhui had already hung up the phone.

"Last night was a family dinner. They showed up uninvited in the sweltering summer heat. Zhu Xi even asked about you and Huo Xi," Zhou Yinghuai chuckled, his eyes taking in the towering buildings, their golden beams gleaming.

One punch can make gold bloom everywhere.

The CBD of Libei is a goldmine.

Zhou Yinghuai added insult to injury, "Huo Xi can't enjoy life with you, so I have an obligation to help my wife's best friend choose gold!"

Lou Yan snorted, "Your plane needs fixing. If it breaks down in the air, Zhu Xi will easily become a widow."

"Of course, there are many outstanding young people of marriageable age among the Lou family's younger generation." Lou Yan returned the broken knife, which had been forged to a sharp edge. "Huo Xi said that Zhu Xi likes young people."

Zhou Yinghuai's narrow eyes crinkled with amusement. "Huo Xi doesn't like it?"

"I like it!" Lou Yan sighed, a rare and noticeable sigh. "I've recently invested in an entertainment company. Are you interested in getting involved?"

"Yes!" Zhou Yinghuai replied readily, almost without hesitation. "Only men?"

Lou Yan replied, "You want to sign a female celebrity?"

They both spoke at the same time, "Let's not."

The call fell silent again, this time even the sound of the waves couldn't be heard.

Chen Bei walked in carrying a latte and placed it gently on the desk.

Zhou Yinghuai glanced at him and said, "Lou Yanhui, can you still endure hardship?"
