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

need?

Zhu Xi stared at the two words, and a faint starlight lit up in her eyes again.

"Do wealthy families all describe their gluttony as mere 'needs'?"

"Being rich is elegant. How elegant."

She smiled, picked up her pen, and wrote a single word under the request.

【it is good. 】

After writing it down, I felt it was unnecessary, so I crumpled up the sticky note and threw it into a clean trash can.

I promptly turned off the light and pulled an eye mask from the paper bag next to my pillow.

With darkness blocking her way, sleepiness quickly overcame her. She didn't want to think about trivial matters and slept soundly until dawn.

At 6 o'clock sharp, the alarm clock rang on time.

Zhu Xi turned over, covered herself with the blanket, and slept for another 5 minutes.

Then, I struggled to get out of bed.

At that moment, Zhou Yinghuai, who was still dreaming, was also woken up.

She was his beloved younger sister, Zhou Lingyi.

The ringtone is exclusively for my younger sister; she knows who it is without even looking at the screen.

"Speak." Zhou Yinghuai was woken up from a sweet dream and, like everyone else, became grumpy.

Zhou Lingyi pouted and said, "Brother, what are you doing? You're so cold."

Zhou Yinghuai: "I'll call you at 5 a.m. tomorrow to see if you're even more indifferent than me."

"I wasn't asleep yet then, so feel free to call me. I definitely won't be cold to you; I'll greet you warmly." Zhou Lingyi chuckled. "Brother, I'm jet-lagged lately, sleeping during the day and working hard at night."

struggle?

Zhou Lingyi's so-called struggle was simply trying to spend all of her monthly living expenses.

Zhou Yinghuai, unable to sleep at all, pressed a button by the bedside, and the blackout curtains automatically opened to both sides.

He glanced at the hazy view outside the window, grabbed his phone, and got out of bed.

"What do you want now?"

Zhou Lingyi clicked her tongue, very dissatisfied with her brother's way of asking the question.

"Bro, you have half a second to take back what you said."

Zhou Yinghuai walked into the bathroom, placed his phone aside, and said indulgently, "Retract."

"That's more like it," Zhou Lingyi giggled. "Brother, does sister-in-law like the bracelet I chose?"

As Zhou Yinghuai washed his face, he thought of her bright and lively eyebrows and eyes under the light, as well as her slender, pale wrists.

I think she likes it.

At worst, she could sell it to pay off her mortgage.

"Brother?" Zhou Lingyi urged, "Does sister-in-law like him or not?"

"She likes it." Zhou Yinghuai said in a deep voice, very certain. "She likes it."

Zhou Lingyi had not yet met Zhu Xi. Zhou Yinghuai had specifically instructed that since the two had registered their marriage hastily, they needed to give Zhu Xi time to accept everything.

Listening to your brother is the only rule for a younger sister.

Zhou Lingyi could have secretly gone to the hospital to see Zhu Xi, but she didn't.

"Lanqi sent me some Australian White diamonds, top quality." She paused, "For your sister-in-law?"

Lan Qi is Zhou Lingyi's husband. The day after Zhou Lingyi reached the legal marriage age, the two secretly registered their marriage without telling their parents.

For Zhou Yinghuai, there was nothing wrong with acting first and informing later; the only problem was that the person couldn't be his childhood friend.

His childhood friend coveted his younger sister and successfully deceived the girl.

Zhou Yinghuai would not allow it, absolutely not.

It would have been better if Lanqi hadn't been mentioned, but once that bastard was brought up, Zhou Yinghuai decisively refused, "No need, I'll buy it myself."

"Brother," Zhou Lingyi said, disregarding the complicated relationship between her brother and husband, "I'll send it to your wife myself by express delivery. The neurosurgery department at the People's Hospital, right?"

Zhou Yinghuai's gaze darkened. "Don't disturb her. The chief resident is already very busy."

He was already being looked down upon by his own family, and he couldn't let his family interfere with his wife's path to promotion.

Zhou Lingyi chuckled softly.

"You can find a designer to make them into finished products, and I'll cover the cost." He thought of Zhu Xi's small, delicate pink earlobes and added, "Make a few more pairs of pearl earrings."

Zhou Lingyi achieved her goal. The quality of these pearls was so good that she hadn't decided what to make for Zhu Xi. "Why not make them into bracelets or necklaces? Judging from the photos, my sister-in-law's perfect swan neck is a perfect match for these top-quality Australian white pearls."

"It's inconvenient for doctors to bring them along."

Zhou Lingyi let out a long "Oh," and said, "Then I'll have Lan Qi go find some more. I'm afraid what I have isn't enough. This is the first time I'm giving jewelry to my sister-in-law, so I need a complete set."

"How stingy!" he said without holding back his criticism. "Is he about to go bankrupt?"

The call ended immediately.

Zhou Lingyi never participated in their open and covert wars.

Never!

-

Zhu Xi, who was about to receive pearl earrings, ate breakfast in the cafeteria. The taste was as bland as ever, but the variety of dishes was impressive.

Today I'm annoyed by this, tomorrow I'll be annoyed by that.

In this way, the boredom of the week will not repeat itself.

She and Xiaoyue sat down facing each other by the window, each carrying a tray.

On Zhu Xi's plate were two boiled eggs, two steamed buns, and two cups of soy milk.

Xiaoyue was taken aback. "You want to stuff yourself to death so I can go to the hospital to claim workers' compensation for you, and then pay off your mortgage?"

Zhu Xi clicked her tongue and said, "Then go prepare the authorization letter now, and sign it while I'm still conscious."

Xiaoyue: "Forget it then, running up and down the stairs is tiring! Besides, how can you go to the hospital director if you're injured at work?"

Zhu Xi glanced around and lowered her voice, "I have a feeling."

The last time Xiaoyue saw her like this was when Zhu Xi had only been in the neurosurgery department for six months.

At that time, the entire department canceled their vacations, and Liuliu was busy for three days.

"Don't scare me," Xiaoyue's voice was trembling. "I only started trying to conceive yesterday."

Zhu Xi exhaled slowly, her eyes half-closed. "It's the head doctor. He messaged me early this morning saying that a national treasure-level senior expert is being transferred to the dental department today, the kind that even the dean wouldn't dare offend. They thought it was trigeminal neuralgia, but it turns out they found a tumor."

Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go to the 18th floor. Why are we worrying about this?"

Zhu Xi sneered, crossing her arms. "Guess?"

"Come downstairs?"

She raised an eyebrow, tilted her head, cracked the egg hard, and rolled it back and forth twice in her palm.

The hand holding the scalpel deftly peeled off the shells, eating and drinking as he went.

Xiaoyue looked stunned, watching as she quickly finished eating and calmly got up.

Zhu Xi smiled and said, "Experts don't like wasting national resources."

Xiaoyue followed behind. She was the nurse most valued by the head nurse, and her responsibilities were heavy and she had a long way to go.

"My efforts to conceive."

Zhu Xi gave a fake smile and patted her shoulder, "Next month, as long as the heart is there, the dream will remain. It's just starting over, let your husband catch his breath too."

Xiaoyue: "Go to hell."

A hearty breakfast often comes with its own set of problems.

And so, the expert was successfully admitted to the hospital.

People came to visit her one after another. Xiaoyue chased away a large group, and then a small group came.

After a flurry of activity, night fell, and the lights at the spire of the Chongyin Pagoda were lit.

This honorable task of contacting experts naturally fell to Zhu Xi and Le Zhishi.

She organized the necessary examinations and details before the surgery, preparing to go to the ward to explain everything to the family.

Just as I reached the door of the ward, Lezhishi arrived late.

The two looked at each other and raised their eyebrows simultaneously.

Two short knocks sounded at the same time, followed by a "come in" response. Lezhi pushed aside Zhuxi and went in first.

The specialists weren't there; there was only a girl in the ward, sitting on the sofa by the window.

Upon seeing the two enter, he glanced at them lightly without moving.

"Isn't the old man here?" Lezhi asked gently, unusually so.

The girl did not respond.

The situation was not good. Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow, held the medical record to her chest, and took a half step back.

Lezhi hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I am..."

The girl interrupted coldly, switching legs and crossing her head, her expression indifferent and disdainful, "Shut up, you're so noisy."

Lezhi Shi: "?"

"Resident physician?"

Lezhi reluctantly hummed in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi quickly handed over the prepared list in a businesslike manner, but the girl was playing with her phone and neither moved nor took it.

She ignored this unreasonable arrogance and placed it at the foot of the bed. "These are the tests Dr. Le has prepared for the patients. Some require advance booking. Before the results come out..."

The girl asked, "Are you a resident physician too?"

Zhu Xi paused for a moment, then did not deny it. "Resident doctor, Zhu Xi."

"We will not accept any suggestions from anyone other than Director Hao and the doctors designated by the hospital director."

The girl wiggled her toes, finally managing to shift her gaze from the game interface to the two girls. "I hope you'll be more considerate and stop disturbing my grandfather's rest."

Lezhi stood aside, but before he could speak, he was also successfully blocked.

"Including you." The girl turned to Lezhi with an air of superiority. "You don't even look as good as her."

Lezhi was so angry that she was furious. The young lady was spoiled in the department and had never been bullied like this before. She made a move to argue with him.

Zhu Xi grabbed her arm from behind and coldly led her out of the ward.

The two staggered to the corner before Zhu Xi finally let go of her.

Lezhi shook her wrist, "Why are you pulling me? What's with her attitude? The task was assigned by the director. If she's so capable, she should go find the director."

"Looks like a person, but doesn't speak human language!" Le Zhishi straightened his white coat sleeves. "Go to hell."

Zhu Xi listened silently to the young lady's cursing, closed the medical record book, and gave her a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."

Lezhi finally snapped after enduring so much frustration in the hospital room, yelling, "What kind of look is that now?"

Zhu Xi shook his head, gloating, "Did that boomerang hurt?"

"What boomerang?" Le Zhishi looked at Zhu Xi's amused expression and felt a little guilty.

But she still stubbornly insisted, "I'm nowhere near as bad as her."

Zhu Xi patted her on the shoulder, "Auntie, don't be modest, you are even better than her."

Lezhi Shi: "?!"

Zhu Xi swaggered back to her dormitory, closed the door, and listlessly closed her eyes.

After reporting what had just happened to the director in detail, I inadvertently saw the chat box with Zhou Yinghuai.

I remembered the note he left last night.

She clicked her tongue; she really didn't want to go to the cafeteria anymore. "Learning more about it and maybe even getting a free dinner while I'm at it, isn't that a bit much?"

As I was talking and thinking, I had already typed a few words.

Lezhi hurriedly knocked on the door, "Congratulations!"

at that time.

I need you.
