The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

"Okay." Luo Huai applied white ointment to half of Xing Yuru's face. "It might sting a little, bear with it, and don't scratch it."

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Xing Yanzhao asked.

Xing Yuru nodded.

"Let's go and eat."

Xing Yuru wasn't visiting Binjiang Bay for the first time. Knowing that they were all having dinner together as a family across the street, she got up, took Luo Huai's arm, and went over together.

Xiao Ming was still diligently cleaning the room and fixing the sheets and blankets.

Even with the heating on, 1601 was still warmer than 1602, probably because of the large pile of New Year's goods on the floor, with red couplets and "Fu" characters showing, making it more festive.

The family sat down to eat together, and after finishing, they started getting busy. After setting up room 1601, they all rushed to room 1602.

The curtains and sofa covers that Luo Huai had his eye on were also delivered.

The original gray curtains were replaced with low-saturation mint green and white lace, and the sofa covers were changed to fluffy cream. With the addition of a green plant and small items, the house became much brighter and no longer felt cold and deserted.

Couplets should be pasted up, and so should the character "福" (fortune).

There are also paper-cut window decorations.

Xing Yuru held up a crookedly cut paper-cut window decoration and said, "Sister-in-law, this shop has some defective paper-cut window decorations mixed in. We can't buy them anymore. I'm throwing this away."

"What's there to lose?" Xing Yanzhao walked towards them.

Luo Huai lowered his eyes and smiled.

The open field beside them seemed to laugh along.

Xing Yuru was confused: "W-what's wrong?"

Luo Huai: "Your brother cut it."

Xing Yanzhao: "I cut it."

The husband and wife spoke in unison.

Xing Yuru immediately changed her tune: "Big brother, big brother cut it! It's well done, well done..."

Luo Huai's laughter grew even louder.

Then my neck was gently pinched again.

"Still laughing." The man's deep voice was filled with affection.

Luo Huai quickly shook his head: "I won't laugh anymore, I won't laugh anymore."

"Go and put it up." Xing Yanzhao looked at the French windows, where one had already been put up.

This height...

"I can't stick it on."

Luo Huai's body was suddenly lifted into the air and she was lifted up and sat on the man's arm.

"And now?" Xing Yanzhao walked to the glass window.

The family members all looked over.

Luo Huai's face flushed. "It's sticking now."

"Window decorations." As soon as Xing Yanzhao called out, Xing Yuru immediately handed over the window decorations.

Kuangye, standing to the side, said, "Why do you look like a family of three?"

Grandma Kuang gave him a sharp rap on the head: "That's your brother's sister, not his daughter."

"What I said is true!"

"You can't mess up the generational order." After saying that, Grandma Kuang sighed, "When will your brother and Luo Huai have a child? I hope they have one soon so I can see it."

"Old lady..." Kuangye warned, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Did I say something wrong?" Grandma Kuang asked calmly. "He's someone whose leg is half buried in the ground."

"grandmother!"

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you, kid." Grandma Kuang turned and went elsewhere.

Luo Huai heard this too. After getting off Xing Yanzhao, she said, "Grandma, don't say that. Even if you don't mention Brother Zhao and Kuangye, I'll cry for you later."

"Oh dear, you can't cry, you absolutely can't cry." Grandma Kuang turned her head and glared at Xing Yanzhao. "If you ever make Luo Huai cry again, I'll beat you to death."

Xing Yanzhao, who suffered an undeserved misfortune, said: "...No need, I can smoke by myself."

Grandma Kuang: "That's more like it."

Luo Huai looked up, her bright eyes sparkling, and asked, "Really?"

Xing Yanzhao pinched her chin and leaned down to kiss her.

The fleeting warmth at the corners of their lips made Luo Huai seem to hear a voice from the depths of his heart: Really.

However, Luo Huai, who has always been well-behaved and never does anything out of line since childhood, still can't kiss without blushing when there are other people around.

My face was hot when I was picked up, but now my face and neck are hot too.

Especially when I saw Xing Yuru covering her face with both hands.

"You, you... um!"

I got kissed again.

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Xing Yanzhao chuckled softly; teasing his wife was the most fun.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xing Yuru spent the New Year together at Binjiang Bay.

On the thirtieth, she rode in her eldest brother's car to the old house. Since her sister-in-law didn't want to leave her alone in the back seat, she sat with her in the back as well. Her brother was forced to become the driver and even gave her a cold look through the rearview mirror.

She was scared and turned her head to hide behind her sister-in-law's neck.

It's getting colder.

She knew that her older brother felt she was trying to steal his wife away.

My older brother is a stingy man.

But she wasn't afraid, because she had her sister-in-law.

The saying goes, "The devil may be one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall." The elder sister-in-law is the "Tao" that suppresses the elder brother.

Luo Huai chuckled softly. After getting out of the car, Xing Yuru tried to pull her along, but Xing Yanzhao beat her to it. With a glare, Xing Yuru ran away.

"Still laughing?" Xing Yanzhao asked. "Are you happy to have left me all alone?"

"I'm happy about your relationship with Yu Rou. Didn't you realize that her closeness to me is actually an attempt to get close to you?"

“She’s too old for me to be close to,” Xing Yanzhao said. “I want you to be close to me.”

He has always been straightforward.

Even sex.

On our wedding night, he could directly say that he watched her type it up, and a couple of days ago on the sofa, he whispered in her ear that he wanted to do it.

But then, Kuangye knocked on their door to call them for dinner, interrupting them.

Of course, it's not Kuangye's fault; she was afraid too.

She couldn't imagine how she could bear the weight of that proud "pink thermos".

"What are you thinking about? Your face is burning." Xing Yanzhao gently touched her face with the back of his hand.

Luo Huai reached out and grabbed his hand, placing it on her face, her bright eyes wide as she said, "So, does that count as being close?"

Xing Yanzhao's Adam's apple bobbed.

Bending over and lowering one's head.

His lips brushed against her ear, and he uttered the shocking words: "I want to fuck you."

Luo Huai's ears also burned.

My whole body felt like it was being branded with a hot iron.

"Brother Zhao, brother..."

I was so scared that I started to stutter.

Xing Yanzhao let her go a little, straightened up, and stared intently at her eyes, nose, mouth, chin, and neck.

Calmly ask, "Can I give you a New Year's gift?"

Knowing what he was talking about, Luo Huai felt a little thirsty.

“Don’t make it fake,” Xing Yanzhao said again.

"No, I don't know." Luo Huai let go of her hand and walked ahead, her face flushed.

As soon as you go in, you'll see the old man and his wife's entire lineage.

With him and Xing Yanzhao, who came slowly with a smile behind him, all three families were present, and no one was left out.

The youngest generation has to call the old man and the old woman "grandfather" and "grandmother," which is already four generations living under one roof.

Everyone greeted each other.

Finally, the old man and woman said a few words, reminding everyone that today is Lunar New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion and dinner, a happy day, and that no one should cause trouble today.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and they were all very friendly.

Even Pei Youyou was more proper, except that the foundation on her face was visibly thick.

All three slaps came from adult men, and their power should not be underestimated.

In contrast, Xing Yuru, who was wearing light makeup and had only a few red marks on her face.

The old lady had always liked Xing Yuru, and pulled her over to look at her with pity. "It's all over now. Your dad got beaten by Grandpa and Grandma too. Don't be angry."

"Don't be angry." Xing Yuru smiled sincerely. "Thanks to my sister-in-law for applying the medicine. I've been with my brother and sister-in-law these past two days, and I'm sorry to have worried my grandparents."

"Grandpa and Grandma won't worry if you stay with your eldest brother and sister-in-law." The old lady called Luo Huai over, and when they had their New Year's Eve dinner that night, Xing Yuru sat next to the old lady, and Luo Huai sat next to Xing Yuru.

Xing Yanzhao naturally sat down next to Luo Huai.

The old lady said, "I really can't leave you for a moment. Go, sit next to your grandfather."

The seat next to the old man carries even more weight.

That position originally belonged to the eldest son of the Xing family.

Now that the eldest grandson is sitting in the position, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has usurped power and seized his father's position.

Luo Huai noticed that everyone's gaze towards Xing Yanzhao had become meaningful.

Even Lin Zhengyu and Pei Youyou, who weren't at the main table, looked over, their expressions varying.

One of them had jealousy and resentment in his eyes.

One, however, flickered with a dim, shadowy light.

Lin Zhengyu's mind immediately became active again after thinking about what Pei's father had said.

The Xing family doesn't have his status, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
