Depressed wife runs with the ball

Xin Jiahui had just returned from studying abroad, and she knew a lot about Chu Yue.

What good intentions could a poor talented woman, a once-in-a-century talent, have? She'd probably just find a rich man to sell her body to.

"Let me go and see, why hasn't he arrived yet?" She stood up and wanted to go to the door to check.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't see the threshold at the door and tripped. Chu Yue turned around and laughed at him: "Why are you so reckless?"

He stumbled forward, took her hand, and placed it on her shoulder, explaining, "You walked too fast and didn't even wait for me."

I'm used to seeing this brother as mature, steady, upright and reliable, and I never imagined that he would have such a childish and naive side.

She was a little dazed and wanted to go back to the private room, but when she turned around, she bumped into the waiter who was serving tea, and the boiling water scalded her arms and clothes.

She was furious, shaking the water droplets off her arms and yelling, "What's wrong with you? Don't you care about me?"

The sound attracted Zhou Xingzhi and Chu Yue at the door.

The waiter apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, miss, can I compensate you for this dress?"

"Can you afford to pay for it? Oh, forget it, it's just my bad luck." She was a little annoyed and looked around for a tissue.

Zhou Xingzhi took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, saying, "You've already graduated, and you're still so reckless."

"Brother Xingzhi!" Xin Jiahui quickly recovered her composure and looked at Zhou Xingzhi with a smile. Chu Yue gave him a look, signaling the waiter to leave first.

"Yueyue, come here. This is Jiahui, who just came back from studying in Canada. Jiahui, this is Chu Yue, your brother's girlfriend." Zhou Xingzhi took Chu Yue and introduced them to each other.

"Sister Yue, I've long heard of you." Xin Jiahui forced a sweet smile and gestured to Chu Yue.

"Sister Jiahui." Chu Yue shook hands lightly and responded politely.

"Where are Xiaokai and Weizhen? Why did you come out to wait?" Zhou Xingzhi looked into the corridor and saw that she was the only one who came out.

Xin Jiahui studied Chu Yue closely, especially the suit jacket she was wearing. Was it really that serious? Wearing his brother's jacket to assert his sovereignty? She couldn't help but roll her eyes. She tried to reach for Zhou Xingzhi's hand, only to realize they were already holding hands.

I thought his friends were easy to get along with. But now it seems there aren't many easy-going women around him. If there is one, it's probably his mother.

"Xiao Kai and Wei Zhen are waiting in the private room, right? Let's go, don't make them wait anxiously." Chu Yue pulled Zhou Xingzhi towards the private room.

Pushing open the door to the private room, two grown men were enjoying their meal. Seeing them, Li Weizhen teased, "Hey, President Zhou and his wife are the last to appear? Come on, come on, sit down."

"Oh, our little Jiahui was so anxious that she had to go to the door to greet her in person!" Su Weikai also joked and pulled a stool for Xin Jiahui.

Chu Yue had a good impression of Su Weikai. He was the chatterbox she'd encountered when dragging a drunk Ji Yan home from a dinner party. Su Ying seemed to have mentioned that he'd been asking around at the bar multiple times. No wonder Zhou Xingzhi had told her not to bother with him.

"This restaurant's signature dish is stewed beef brisket with radish. Try it." Zhou Xingzhi pulled a stool over for her and moved the dishes on the table. He didn't feel like introducing these two people.

Xin Jiahui sat there, sulking to herself. Li Weizhen seemed to notice something and used his serving chopsticks to pick up some vegetables for her, whispering, "Hey, you have a boyfriend, don't act like a spoiled brat here."

She glanced at him unhappily and cursed under her breath: "You're sick! Who's throwing a tantrum?"

"Brother, I want to eat that beef brisket too!" She acted coquettishly towards Zhou Xingzhi.

Chu Yue turned the dial for her, pretending to be intimate with Zhou Xingzhi and said, "Can you help me order... green tea?"

This was the first time he'd heard her speak so sarcasticly, and she'd never drunk green tea before. Zhou Xingzhi was a little confused, but he still called the waiter and ordered a drink.

"When did you start liking green tea?" He asked after he ordered. "Sister, I like it." Chu Yue raised her voice a little coquettishly, winking at him through a pinched throat.

Zhou Xingzhi really thought her look was hilarious! He couldn't hold it back and smiled secretly. Su Weikai also turned around and smiled secretly. This girl was indeed not simple, and her tongue was quite powerful.

"Who likes green tea?" Xin Jiahui immediately identified herself with the character and defended herself.

Chu Yue lowered her head to eat and echoed, "Yeah, who likes green tea?"

The two women were full of tension, and Su Weikai actually quite liked this kind of occasion. "I heard that Miss Chu graduated from an art college. I guess there are many classmates or junior art students there? I wonder if you could introduce a few to her?"

"Art students only sell their skills, not their bodies. Even if they really want to sell their bodies..." She looked Su Weikai up and down and added, "You have to be selective."

Oh, are you saying he's unworthy? His rhetoric isn't just about the green tea variety.

"Yes, didn't you choose my brother Xingzhi?" Xin Jiahui took the opportunity to interrupt. Zhou Xingzhi quickly retorted: "Jiahui, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chu Yue put down her chopsticks and nonchalantly played with her nails. She sighed and said, "Sister Jiahui, do you also think that only someone like your brother Xingzhi can be a good match for an outstanding art student like me?"

With just one sentence, Su Weikai and Xin Jiahui at the dinner table were speechless.

Li Weizhen saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Uh... this dish is good, eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Su Weikai advised himself not to argue with a beautiful woman, as it was difficult to raise a woman with a mean personality. Besides, if he did, he might not gain any advantage. Xin Jiahui had never been bullied like this by a woman in front of her three brothers. She dropped her chopsticks and walked away, and Li Weizhen quickly chased after her.

At the end of the meal, only three people were left eating.

On the way back, Zhou Xingzhi suddenly figured out why Ji Yan's girlfriends were no longer jealous of her.

"What are you laughing at? If you have friends like this again, don't bring me out." Chu Yue was also very angry. He didn't bring her out to eat, he brought her out to fight.

"Yes, yes, Jiahui, she is a little arrogant, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. She may just be unable to get used to having such a beautiful and talented girlfriend by my side." After all, she is his sister who grew up with him, so he couldn't help but defend himself.

She was already holding her breath, and after hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him. "Brother Xingzhi~" she called him shyly, then quickly changed her expression and said sternly, "Is this how you like it?"

To be honest, Zhou Xingzhi actually liked hearing her call him that, and he also liked seeing her jealous of him. Although, it was a bit artificial. He didn't dare say it out loud, just smiled secretly.

Ji Yan was in his office, his phone on his desk. Chu Yue's number was displayed, along with a shareholding agreement drafted by the legal department. He didn't want to accept Mo Xiaoxiao's suggestion, but the bar needed money to take over.

I still didn't dare to make the call.

Zhou Xingzhi's flight was at 6:00 AM, so he had to get up at 4:00 AM to catch it. Even though he tiptoed, he still managed to wake Chu Yue. Seeing him changing in the dark, I figured he was nearsighted and wouldn't bother going to the cloakroom to change in the dark.

He sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and leaned against the nightstand.

"Did I wake you up?" Zhou Xingzhi put on his shirt, sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked her hair.

Chu Yue helped him button up his shirt one by one and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was past four o'clock, which was really early. "Remember to let me know you're safe when you get off the plane."

"You go to sleep, I'll go to the cloakroom to change." His hand slid down along her wrist and grabbed her hand that was buttoning his shirt.

If I really had to go to the cloakroom, I wouldn't have changed in my room in the first place. "I'll take you downstairs." I was already woken up anyway.

Well, she finally seemed a little reluctant. A girlfriend who is jealous and reluctant is a qualified one. "Go to sleep, I can go by myself. Don't be late for work in the morning, and remember to eat the food Auntie brought you. Call me anytime if you need anything."

After he finished explaining, he wanted to get up and go to the cloakroom to change clothes. Chu Yue gently pulled his hand, hugged him and said, "Come back early, I'll wait for you at home."

It's not that she has always been so cold, it's just that there seems to be no one around her who is worthy of her letting down her guard.
