Zhong Heyang has always been reluctant to get married. In this era, if he kissed a girl from another family, he would definitely marry her home.

Zhong Heyang stared down at her, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Ziqiu stuttered, "I, I didn't!"

"Don't worry, I have never kissed anyone other than you. Not before and not in the future." The man had a faint smile on his face.

Facing the man's fiery gaze, Lin Ziqiu felt a little overwhelmed and opened her eyes subconsciously.

She coughed twice and said softly, "Well, it's really late now. I want to sleep."

Zhong Heyang knew that she was shy, but there was still a long time to go, so he was willing to give Lin Ziqiu time to adapt.

"Eat your meal before you go to sleep. Grandma has left some food for you."

Lin Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, "I've eaten at the restaurant."

As she said that, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to bring out the food to prevent it from getting spoiled.

Zhong Heyang held her shoulders and said, "I'll go clean up. You go to sleep first. You don't have to wait for me."

Lin Ziqiu blushed and muttered softly, "Who wants to wait for you?"

Zhong Heyang heard her murmur, curled his lips into a smile, and then went downstairs. When he returned to the room, the person on the bed was already asleep.

He tiptoed off his coat and lay down carefully.

Looking at the sleeping profile of the little girl, Zhong Heyang secretly kissed the corner of her mouth and smiled softly.

A good night's sleep.

Lin Ziqiu woke up early the next morning and looked at the empty bed.

She got dressed and went downstairs, where she ran into her grandmother.

Li Guixiang smiled from ear to ear and asked meaningfully, "Did you sleep well last night?"

When Lin Ziqiu thought about how Zhong Heyang carried her into the house last night and was caught by her grandmother, she immediately realized the meaning of her words.

Her face instantly turned red, and she called out embarrassedly: "Grandma..."

Li Guixiang patted her hands and said, "Look how thin you are now. You need to eat more so that you can have the strength to give birth to a baby."

"I know you want to go out and earn money, and grandma supports you, but the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. If you feel very tired, don't force yourself to work. Come home and grandma will support you." Li Guixiang's words touched Lin Ziqiu.

She is very lucky to have met such a good elder.

Although she knew that her grandmother treated her well in large part because she wanted to hold her great-grandson, she could also feel her grandmother's kindness towards her.

"I understand, thank you grandma."

Li Guixiang was overjoyed and said, "I made some dumplings this morning and they're still hot. Go eat them quickly and eat as much as you can."

After saying that, she went into the house to see if the two children had woken up.

As soon as Lin Ziqiu entered the kitchen, he ran into Zhong Xuexi.

Zhong Xuexi was stuffing dumplings into her aluminum lunch box. Seeing Lin Ziqiu coming, she glanced at her unhappily and said, "Some people are flirting with other women under the guise of going out to make money."

Lin Ziqiu didn't indulge her either: "You can't stop talking about men. If you are so short of men, I will find a few for you."

Zhong Xuexi's face turned pale. "Who's short of a man? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You're the only one allowed to talk nonsense, but I can't say anything?" Lin Ziqiu walked past her and said in a scornful tone, "You're already an adult. If you have the time to be sarcastic with me, you might as well think about how to get married."

In the past, Lin Ziqiu didn't want to make the relationship with Zhong Xuexi too awkward.

After all, she and Zhong Heyang had an agreement that she would fulfill her duties as a wife and naturally would not conflict with his family.

But that doesn't mean she can always tolerate Zhong Xuexi's deliberate provocation and slander.

Zhong Xuexi's face turned cold instantly, and she wished she could gouge Lin Ziqiu out.

"What do you know! What does it have to do with you whether I get married or not?"

Lin Ziqiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does what I do have to do with you?"

She approached Zhong Xuexi step by step, her eyes cold. "Your brother won't say anything about my affairs, so what gives you the right to provoke me again and again?"

Zhong Xuexi originally thought that this cheap sister-in-law was a soft persimmon that she could manipulate at will.

But at this moment, she actually felt that the other party was not a good person.

She was not stupid, so she naturally understood that Lin Ziqiu had always given in to her before.

For a moment, it seemed as if she had become the vicious sister-in-law who couldn't tolerate her sister-in-law.

Zhong Xuexi bit her lip unwillingly, "Who wants to mind your business?! Wasn't I just worried that you'd ruin my brother's reputation?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you!"

Although she was clearly in the wrong, Zhong Xuexi was never one to accept defeat, so she rode away on her bicycle in a bad mood.

Lin Ziqiu curled the corners of her lips. She seemed to have figured out Zhong Xuexi's personality.

When it comes to her family members, she is soft-hearted and will not tolerate harshness. When you see her arguing with her grandmother, even ten donkeys can't pull them back, but when her grandmother coaxes her softly, she is willing to go down the stairs and go home.

When facing her, the "outsider" who had just married into the family, she was completely tough and would not respond to soft words.

I think she won't come to me to seek a sense of existence for a long time.

Lin Ziqiu ate a plate of dumplings and before leaving, she told Li Guixiang not to leave any food for her in the evening.

There is still some distance from the compound to the state-owned hotel, and it takes about 45 minutes to walk there.

The shop is basically closed in the morning, and we are busy with things like purchasing, preparing food, and cleaning.

Tian Xiaobo was wiping the table when he saw Lin Ziqiu coming. He walked over and asked, "Sister Xiaoqiu, your husband didn't do anything to you last night, did he?"

Lin Ziqiu thought of what she said last night, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head, "No."

Tian Xiaobo was skeptical. After all, the way Zhong Heyang looked at him last night was as if he wanted to eat him.

And the tone of his voice was not kind...

Tian Xiaofeng came over and said, "Sister Xiaoqiu! I heard that your husband is the head of the group. Will you be punished if you make him angry?"

Lin Ziqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No way."

Judging from Zhong Heyang's personality, it is likely that only Zhong Zhiyang will receive this treatment.

"If he dares to bully you, just tell my dad! He will support you!" Tian Xiaofeng brought up his father with peace of mind.

Tian Xiaobo glanced at his brother with a look of dismay, "You are really promising."

Tian Xiaofeng touched the back of his head and said, "What do you know? If I stand up for Sister Xiaoqiu, I will definitely get beaten up!"

Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't bully me."

"Sister Xiaoqiu, if you have any problems in the future, just call me and I will definitely help you in any way I can!" Tian Xiaofeng patted his chest very righteously.

Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay."

Tian Gui's voice came from the kitchen, and Tian Xiaofeng hurried over.

In the morning, Lin Ziqiu and Tian Gui were discussing the new menu, and Jiang Lin and Li Laoer both came.

"Xiaoqiu, how do you feel? Can you adapt?" Jiang Lin looked at Lin Ziqiu with admiration in his eyes.

The spicy and sour bean sprouts he packed and brought home yesterday were eaten up by his picky daughter, leaving nothing for him.

Lin Ziqiu continued picking vegetables and smiled, "I can adapt. I like it here very much."
