All day long, Bai Shuiru's ears were filled with rumors like the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies, all of which revolved around:

How Hei Huomian risked his life for the beauty he loved, and how he used public resources for personal gain to promote his own debut.

How the instigator, the enchanting concubine Green Tea Bai Shuiru, used all means to seduce, and even secretly had some shameful dealings with those originally upright and fair managers at the meeting.

Ming·Xin has already secretly changed his surname to "Bai", Ming·Xin's stock price will hit the limit down tomorrow, Ming·Xin will be finished sooner or later.

Bai Shuiru sighed softly, without even raising the tiny sparks from the red-hot charcoal fire.

I know Hei Huomian meant well, but it is because my ability is not up to par that he was slandered.

Bai Shuiru, why is it that despite your efforts, you still can't even touch excellence?

Bai Shuiru grabbed a skewer of grilled meat from the charcoal fire and put it into her mouth. She was immediately scalded to the point of tears streaming down her face. At the same time, all kinds of grievances took advantage of the opportunity to enter her mouth and turned into drops of water, pouring out one after another.

At this time, the housekeeper Nan Shu brought a few bottles of sauces and freshly marinated ingredients, and said:

"The young master's car has already entered the manor."

Bai Shuiru raised her eyes and turned around, and saw a familiar tall figure walking towards her from afar. She hurriedly brushed honey and cumin on the two pieces of grilled meat on the barbecue grill, sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds on them, and then grabbed them and left.

Hei Huomian had sharp eyes and had already caught the tears in Bai Shuiru's eyes when she turned around. He was already depressed and now he was in a state of panic. When he came to his senses, he had teleported to her side and grabbed the skewer she was about to bite, trying to stop her:

"Wait! You can't eat it!"

"What are you doing?" Bai Shuiru was stunned for a moment, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, frowned and pouted, glaring at the man, trying to snatch back the skewers of meat that had been taken away from her.

"You can't eat this meat!" Hei Huomian confiscated the food from Bai Shuiru's hand, pulled the person with one hand, grabbed the skewers with the other hand and walked towards the trash can.

Bai Shuiru struggled and defended herself:

"Give it back to me now. I baked it. Feiyi, Uncle and Wanwan have all eaten it just now. Even Youtiao Tiao praised my baking for being delicious!"

Hei Huowan had already jumped up and hugged his elder brother's legs and acted coquettishly:

"Mianmianmianmianmian, the meat grilled by sister-in-law Ruru is so fragrant and delicious! If you don't want to eat it, then I will!" As he said this, he stepped on the other person's shiny leather shoes and reached out to hook the skewers of meat that the other person wanted to throw into the trash can.

"Woof!" The puppy Youtiao also ran to the feet of the three people, circled around, and called for food.

"Mom!" The current head of the Hei family strode towards the parents who were feeding each other and laughing, "Not only did you eat monster meat in Siyuan, you were poisoned enough that you even brought the meat back and gave it to Shuiru?!"

"What kind of monster meat~?" Jing Youxi reacted and grabbed his eldest son's ear and pulled him to the dead deer hanging upside down. "Take off your sunglasses and take a look. Is this a monster?! This is our own sika deer! Sika deer! There's even a logo on the ear!"

"Look for yourself, the number happens to be your birthday." Jing Youxi flipped and shook an exquisite metal identification plate on the table in front of Hei Huomian.

On the back of the sign was the Hei family's emblem, the Rainbow Black Snake, and the "1231" engraved on the front was indeed his birthday.

"Shui Ru is very clever. She just said that she would change it into a keychain and carry it with her every day." Jing Youxi snatched the skewers from the eldest son's hand domineeringly, gave half to Bai Shui Ru, and took the other half and sat back next to her husband. While eating, she glared at the eldest son and cursed:

"Shui Ru, if you ask me, you shouldn't feel bad for or think about such an ignorant man - just treat it as a slow-cooked dish and eat it!" Jing Youxi looked around with his true and generous nature, glared at his eldest son, raised his glass and said:

"Shui Ru, cheers~!"

Heihuo Mian's lips curled up unconsciously, his eyes had already been on Bai Shuiru before his mother, but after seeing the person toasting from a distance, he quickly turned around and led Heihuo Wan and Youtiao towards the pavilion not far away.

The little bit of depression that had just dissipated in Hei Huomian's heart condensed quietly again. He poured himself a cup of mulberry juice squeezed by Hei Zhan Ze and drank it all. He was still angry, so he stood up and strode towards his parents, snatched the skewers in front of them, and said disdainfully:

"Isn't it too early to eat venison in autumn?"

"How dare you interfere with me, your mother?! The energy and blood I lost when I gave birth to you has not yet been recovered!" Jing Youxi stood up, raised his foot and stomped hard on Hei Huomian's feet, quickly snatched the skewer, then bit the skewer in his mouth and dodged, meeting the opponent's attack.

Hei Zhanze drank mulberry juice for 20 minutes. Seeing that his wife and children were still fighting, he advised:

"Huo Mian, when things changed, Xixi gave birth prematurely and it was difficult to give birth to you. It took two years to recover, and now you are still very weak. It's okay to eat some venison."

"Xixi, my son cares about us. I have roasted the meat, would you like to come and eat?"

However, neither the mother nor the son was willing to give in first.

Hei Zhan Ze tried to persuade the fight to no avail, so he walked to the grill, dropped a frying pan with a groan, and pretended to be a weak wife, holding his fingertips, "Xixi, baby~! I'm burned, can you help me?"

As expected, Jing Youxi jumped out of the fighting circle, glared at Hei Huomian, and turned to help her husband. After the couple played around for a while, their love was more intense than a barbecue.

Hei Huomian frowned, turned around and looked at Bai Shuiru who was happily playing with the puppy in the pavilion, and drank another half cup of mulberry juice depressedly.

"Mianmian, let me give you the meat that I grilled last night." Nuotuanzi stood on tiptoe towards the tall man who was over 180cm tall, and stretched out his chubby little hand to hand over his work.

Who knew that Jing Youxi would interrupt him with a roar, and even gave his youngest son a cumin-flavored kiss as a comfort.

"Son, have a bowl of deer blood to nourish yourself." Jing Youxi tried her best to clamp her eldest son's neck with her elbow, and the two mother and son whispered, "You haven't put down your little brush for so long, I'm afraid... Hehe, let me give you a helping hand~!"

Hei Huomian frowned and dodged, glaring at his mother through his sunglasses:

Your son is healthy, so why would he need to take supplements? And we must wait until the wedding night...

Hei Huomian's cheeks flushed slightly, and he coughed to cover it up, "Mrs. Hei, you should leave it to your husband for his own enjoyment. I don't need it!"

"Hey~! Do you have any manners, kid?! Why do you like to challenge me more and more?!" Jing Youxi glared:

Humph! I think even if there is a substantial change in your relationship with Shui Ru, she will leave easily if she wants to~! You can't keep her!

Hei Huomian received the "encrypted message" and the deepest fear in his heart was triggered, and his face immediately darkened.

Even Bai Shuiru, who was thirty meters away from the battle circle, could sense his cold and imposing aura quickly filling up, and hurried over to him, "Fei, what's delicious?" She raised her hand and jumped to greet Jing Youxi, saying, "I know how to appreciate it. I won't eat the porridge with pickled mustard tonight. I'll eat, I'll eat!"

"My husband's cooking skills are pretty good, right? Not inferior to your husband's."

Bai Shuiru responded with a wry smile, and buried her head in eating the deer blood porridge handed to her by Hei Zhan Ze. She raised her eyes and accidentally met Hei Huomian's gaze. Even through his sunglasses, she could deeply feel his resentful and aggrieved look. She turned her back and walked away with Youtiao.

Hei Huomian sighed softly, and with some annoyance shook off Jing Youxi's hand that was intentionally teasing and lifting her hair, then turned around and went back to the mansion.

"Huo Mian, come and have dinner. It's been a while since we, father and son, have eaten at the same table."

Hei Huomian heard the caring voice of his loving father behind him, but he took a few steps forward like a child in anger and said:

"Anyway, I'm not your biological child, so I'll cook for myself!"

Heihuowan reacted quickly and chased after his elder brother, shouting and asking for a hug.

Hei Huomian bent down, picked up his younger brother and sat him on his broad shoulders. The big, small and the dog were sometimes leisurely, and sometimes they jogged a few steps, teasing the child, and showing off their laughter and cheerful barking behind them.

The night was as cool as water. In the huge Sucong Manor, apart from the searchlights used for outdoor security, only Bai Shuiru's studio had the lights on.

Bai Shuiru had just finished a design and stretched his arms to do his signature stretch when he heard a knock on the door.

After receiving the answer to the door, Jing Youxi took a tray and placed a cup of tea and a small bowl on the small table next to Bai Shuiru.

"Shui Ru, you ate a lot of venison today. Although venison is a warm tonic, it is autumn now and it is easy to get angry. Drink some rose, chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea."

"Faye, are you still awake?"

"It's almost time to go to bed. I'm thirsty and hungry, so I'll go to the kitchen and find something to eat."

Bai Shuiru noticed that there were several red marks on Jing Youxi's neck and collarbone where his pajamas were not properly fixed. She blushed and lowered her eyes to thank him, then obediently sipped the scented tea as he said.

She occasionally passed by and heard the servants gossiping that Mr. Black would never tire Faye in the slightest, especially after that time. Why did Faye get out of bed and downstairs by herself today, and even cook for herself?

Bai Shuiru, stop meddling in other people's business!

Bai Shuiru drank her tea silently with her eyes lowered, and naturally did not notice that Jing Youxi's eyes swept across the pillows and quilt on the sofa beside her, and then shook his head.

"Come, drink some Yuanyanghu while it's hot."

"Yuanyang, paste?" The vivid memory in Bai Shuiru's heart was pushed in front of her. She opened the lid of the bowl and looked down to see that in the small bowl, the distinct black and white and delicate black sesame paste and peanut paste were exquisitely arranged into a Bagua pattern.

"This bowl of Yuanyang paste has your favorite black sesame seeds, which represent my Hei Huo Mian, and the white peanut paste represents your Bai Shui Ru. Just like gossip, you are in me and I am in you."

"If we ever have a fight, I'll make you a bowl of this as a token of apology. If you see this, please shorten your anger a little bit and accept my apology, okay?"

Hei Huomian, he is trying to be friendly.

Bai Shuiru's heart gradually softened, and a smile slowly built up at the corners of her lips. When she came to her senses, she noticed:

Not only the small bowl for the Yuanyang paste, but even the teacup for the chrysanthemum tea just now were not the jadeite and Hetian jade inlaid with gold and gemstones tableware that the Hei family used on a daily basis, but were all blue and white porcelain with lily patterns.

"I know that you, Shuiru, have great ambitions. You hope to create and realize your self-worth and gain self-recognition. This is a good thing, but the body is the capital of revolution. We women pay attention to beauty care, and adequate sleep is good for the body and mind." Jing Youxi patted Bai Shuiru's shoulder encouragingly, and wanted to turn around and leave with a smile, but was stopped by the other party.

Bai Shuiru hesitated for a moment and asked slowly:

"Well, I want to gossip a little bit. Did Hei Huomian have a childhood sweetheart...whom he really liked?"

"Ah..." Before Jing Youxi could open his mouth, he suddenly put his hands behind his back, as if waving to hurry up something.

"Are there mosquitoes? But it's already autumn." Bai Shuiru hurriedly opened the drawer of the workbench, took out a box of cooling oil and handed it to the other party.

"Yes, ouch!" Jing Youxi rubbed his back, took the cooling oil and smeared a little on his wrist, "Hey, a stinky cockroach as big as a fist, so disgusting!"

Jing Youxi lowered his eyes and took a deep breath of the refreshing scent of the ointment, thinking about it, but in the end he was forced to give in to Bai Shuiru's pleading eyes. He sighed softly, pursed his lips, and continued:

"No, no..." She pouted her lips slightly, her arrogant temper suddenly rose, and she changed her words loudly:

"Of course that silly boy Hei Huo Mian has a childhood sweetheart!" She rubbed her back with her backhand and cursed softly, "This damn child!"

Bai Shuiru's heart sank, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she did not notice Jing Youxi's little action.

He really has a white moonlight in his heart.

Bai Shuiru calmed down, forced a smile, and responded:

"That must be a very lovely and lively girl."

Jing Youxi waved his hands behind his back more vigorously than before, and suddenly laughed out loud. He raised his eyebrows and patted the little girl's shoulder, "Shui Ru, you really believed it? I lied to you! You are so gullible. You really are a perfect match with that silly boy Hei Huo Mian!"

Jing Youxi stroked the little girl's thick, slightly curly hair lovingly, and told her the story of his eldest son's childhood:

"We protected him too well when he was little. He was confined to the mansion all day. Apart from his cousin Jing Churan, there were few children of his age to play with him. He treated a baby as his childhood sweetheart and carried it in his arms wherever he went, not to mention sleeping with it. He even told us that he wanted to marry her when he grew up."

Bai Shuiru's mood gradually calmed down, his eyes were as soft as water, and he couldn't help but smile and praise:

"So cute. Huo Mian is so cute. That doll must be cute too."

Jing Youxi turned his head and glared behind him, then moved closer to Bai Shuiru, paying attention to her expression, and slowly continued in a low voice pretending to be mysterious:

"But later, he lost his doll."

Bai Shuiru stared at him for two seconds, and then a small, regretful but warm smile appeared on her lips. She responded slowly and clearly:

"So, later on, Hei Huo Mian liked to hug pillows when he slept, and he even collected so many that there were no duplicates in his room?"

Jing Youxi tried to hold back his laughter for a long time, but he finally squatted down holding his stomach and laughed, waving his hands repeatedly, "You're still the smartest!"

"Go to bed early!"

Jing Youxi hooked her slender legs on the door, clasped her arms, and squinted at Hei Huomian who had been waiting in the corridor, "You keep dragging your feet and not telling her the truth. I tried to help you tell her, but you won't let me! I'm telling you, women hate being deceived the most, especially by the man who claims to be the one they love the most and cannot live without. What do you think will happen to you when Shui Ru finally finds out the truth?!"

"So Shuiru really loves me the most?" Hei Huomian's eyes sparkled with excitement and relief, and for a moment even his sunglasses could not conceal it.

"Playing the lute to a cow!" Jing Youxi glared at her eldest son with disdain and turned to leave; but after taking two steps, she turned around again, raised her chin slightly, and tried to please him:

"Hei Huo Mian, how are you going to thank me?"

Hei Huomian's mechanism of confronting his mother was triggered, and he glanced at her with disdain, "Your daughter-in-law ran away, are you happy as a mother? You still want me to thank you!"

"Of course I'm happy. It's not my husband who's running away. Why should I be sad?" Jing Youxi immediately turned on his son's scolding mode. He raised his chin with pride and saw that the other party was secretly sad. He sighed softly and softened his tone, "Anyway, I still say the same thing. As long as Shui Ru wants to leave you, you can't stop her."

Jing Youxi turned his back to show his eldest son the hem of his satin pajamas that he had wrinkled into a blooming flower. "Also, you have to compensate me for the clothes. This is my favorite pajamas, my husband gave it to me!"

Hei Huomian rolled his eyes, "Got it. Let Li You arrange to purchase Anna Sue Fanning tomorrow morning, and let your husband personally design and customize 10,000 sets of pajamas exclusively for you, Ms. Jing. Is that okay?"

"Thank you, son. Good night~!"

Hei Huomian watched his mother blow him a kiss and then go back to the bedroom, then he turned his attention to the door of Bai Shuiru's studio again.

Shuiru, you understand what I mean, right?

In the studio, Bai Shui subconsciously looked back towards the door.

"瓷" means "痴".

The entwined lily pattern symbolizes the sweet and happy love between lovers, and symbolizes the harmony and long-lasting companionship between lovers and couples.

From the mandarin duck paste and gossip to the blue and white porcelain with lily pattern, Hei Huo Mian was quietly showing his goodwill to me.

Bai Shuiru stood up, but hesitated when taking a step. She stopped where she was, frowning and biting her lips.
