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

Chapter 29 "Zhu Xi, try opening it."

This time, Zhou Yinghuai lost face.

Don't give her a chance to joke around or fool people.

He genuinely wanted to know why she wasn't using her perfectly good phone.

Zhou Yinghuai placed his cell phone next to the plate, within Zhu Xi's reach.

The peach flesh is sweet and fragrant. On the lit screen, Zhu Xi is wearing a white shirt, with red lips and white teeth, and looks very pretty.

"Open it."

Zhu Xi chewed on the fruit and glanced at Zhou Yinghuai, whose gaze was fixed on her.

"Order me?" Zhu Xi said dismissively. "This is a hot pot restaurant, not the president's office of Dazhou Group."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled at her, his expression still gentle. "Zhu Xi, try opening it."

Zhu Xi put down the silver fork in her hand, making a pleasant clinking sound.

She leaned back in her chair and swung her wrist.

Since they met, Zhou Yinghuai had never spoken to her in such an unquestionable tone.

He was always so cultured, soft-spoken, gentle, and approachable.

He is considerate and thoughtful, like an older brother. Being with him is stress-free and makes you feel free.

But today, judging from Zhou Yinghuai's eyes, he was determined to get to the bottom of things.

Zhu Xi straightened her skirt, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Zhou Yinghuai, I remember all the good things you've done for me."

She paused, then suddenly moved closer to him. "Are you sure you want to argue with me over such a trivial matter?"

Zhou Yinghuai corrected her wording, saying, "It's not about being pedantic, it's about wanting to know the truth."

After hearing his words, Zhu Xi smiled.

She turned on the screen that had just been turned off and, in front of Zhou Yinghuai, tapped the screen one number after another.

Tap to take a look at Zhou Yinghuai.

Her eyes sparkled, brimming with laughter, "0,"

She spoke ten times slower, and her movements were the same: her right hand supporting her cheek, while her left index finger continued to poke.

"5".

Every time Zhu Xi made a move, Zhou Yinghuai's calm eyes would darken for a moment.

"0、"

Zhu Xi lost in just over ten seconds with only six numbers.

The screen was finally unlocked successfully.

Zhou Yinghuai relaxed his brows and listened as she repeated the entire code.

"050799".

We got our marriage certificate last month.

Zhu Xi may be heartless, but she has a good memory.

Even now, she can still clearly remember every patient she performed surgery on.

How old are you? What illness do you have? Have you had surgery? How is your post-operative recovery?

If she wanted to, and if she was willing, she could have a photographic memory.

Zhu Xi smiled freely and continued eating the peach.

May 7th, 9:09 AM.

It was a bright and sunny day.

The drizzle had been falling for almost a week, but on the morning of the day we got our marriage certificate, the sun suddenly broke through the gloomy clouds and shone brightly.

The blazing sunlight turned the entire city upside down, reflected in the puddles on the streets, mirroring another chapter of their lives.

Zhu Xi successfully unlocked the phone, and this time, she saw the entire wedding photo.

Clear and complete.

It turns out she was smiling when they took the photos to get their marriage certificate.

Zhu Xi rested her chin on her hand and pushed Zhou Yinghuai's phone towards her. "I remember the day we got our marriage certificate."

She paused, then forked another piece of peach.

Chew carefully and savor slowly.

After swallowing again, she said softly, "Zhou Yinghuai, I think I will always remember that morning when the sun suddenly came out."

"In the lobby of the government service center, to the right of the Civil Affairs Bureau window, there is a large window. As we were signing, light fell on the red roses left to us by the previous couple."

That light was bright and radiant.

Red roses, their fragrance lingers.

Zhou Yinghuai's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhu Xi interrupted, "I didn't use your phone; it's too private."

We are far from being familiar enough to look at each other's phones.

She tilted her head and smiled slightly, "The bottom of the pot is boiling."

Hot and spicy, with a fresh and rich flavor.

Throughout the meal, Zhu Xi could eat whatever she wanted with just a glance, and the drink glass on her left was always full.

Even ice cubes are.

After eating and drinking her fill, Zhu Xi patted her slightly protruding belly, showing no ladylike manners whatsoever.

Zhou Yinghuai handed her a tissue, gesturing for her to wipe her lips.

Zhu Xi lazily raised her hand, wiped her lips with both hands, and sighed, "I thought you would nag a bit more."

Zhou Yinghuai unfastened his watch, cracked his knuckles, and asked, "What did I say to you?"

"Drink less iced drinks." Zhu Xi pouted and leaned back in a more comfortable position. "Girls should drink less iced drinks, especially during their period."

She imitated her perfectly, saying, "Eat less spicy food and drink less iced drinks. You'll understand when you're older how important it is to take care of yourself when you're young."

Zhou Yinghuai felt that her parroting was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was imitating.

Zhu Xi sighed, her smile undiminished, "Uncle Yu, he loves to say these things."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled and said, "You imitated it very well."

Zhu Xi said proudly, "Thank you for the compliment."

The next second, Zhou Yinghuai, like the slowly stagnating pot bottom, said, "You're not allowed to learn this again next time."

Zhu Xi: "..."

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, whether they were happy or unhappy was put to the back of their minds.

The two stood under a tree in front of the hot pot restaurant, amidst the summer cicadas chirping and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.

It was so hot there wasn't a breath of wind.

Zhu Xi fanned herself with her hand, while Zhou Yinghuai folded a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed and her lips were rosy.

Zhou Yinghuai wiped his sweat as he asked, "Shall I take you home?"

For some reason, Zhu Xi didn't want to go home.

"Are you busy later?" she asked.

Zhou Yinghuai stopped, holding the tissue in his palm. "No, my main task today is to keep you company."

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow. "Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. How about we go somewhere?"

"it is good."

Zhou Yinghuai agreed readily.

Zhu Xi snorted, "You didn't even ask where we're going."

She expressed her unhappiness, tossed her hair, and got into the car before him.

Zhou Yinghuai followed behind her, trying to get into the car, but the car door was slammed shut.

The driver stood to the side and glanced at Zhou Yinghuai.

Perhaps he had never seen his boss so embarrassed, or perhaps he had only met Zhu Xi a few times and didn't think Zhu Xi was arrogant and domineering.

If it weren't for the strong work ethic that kept the driver in check, he probably would have had to squat down to pick up his jaw from its shock.

Zhou Yinghuai was just too strong-willed. Even though he was being targeted for no reason, he calmly and politely threw the tissue into the trash can.

He turned around to the other side, opened the car door, and got in.

The car slowly started moving, leaving the spiciness of the hot pot restaurant behind.

Zhu Xi had a strawberry-flavored hard candy melting in her mouth, staring at her back molars and turning it around.

She generously turned her palm over in front of Zhou Yinghuai.

The strawberry-flavored candy lay quietly in the delicate, cool white hue, waiting for him to pick it.

Zhu Xi chuckled, "I'm not going home to sleep."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Where do you want to go?"

Zhu Xi held her hand up and said, "You eat the candy first."

"it is good."

As soon as the packaging was torn open, a light, sweet taste filled my mouth.

Zhou Yinghuai rarely eats sugar, and adults eat even less.

Zhu Xi cleared her throat and uttered an address.
