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

Visiting relatives at the beginning of the year is a long-standing tradition. Xing Yanzhao has just been reunited with his maternal grandparents, so he must visit his maternal grandparents' home this year, even though his maternal grandparents have passed away, he still has his maternal uncle.

The Qiu family lives in the next city.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xing's mother took them back with her. They stayed at Qiu's house for one night, and then returned on the third day.

The old house was bustling with activity. In addition to relatives and business partners, people from all walks of life came to visit the Xing family.

The Pei family is naturally included in this.

It was one thing for Lin Zhengyu and Pei Youyou to go to the Pei family, but it was quite another for the Pei family to visit the two elders at the old house.

Unfortunately, it was also during the third year of junior high school.

Luo Huai returned just in time to find them.

Meeting Pei Yuanzhou's direct gaze, she felt inexplicably afraid.

He was quite frightened by what he saw at the Fu family home.

When Pei Yuanzhou saw the fear in Luo Huai's eyes, his heart ached again. Apart from the few people present, no one knew that he had made a lewd move against Luo Huai that day.

And we can't let anyone know.

Suppressing his guilt, Pei Yuanzhou called out "Xiao Huai" and asked, "Why can't I get through on the phone?"

When he regained consciousness in the hospital, he wanted to apologize to Luo Huai, but he couldn't reach him by phone, so he went to look for him privately. As soon as he appeared near Binjiang Bay, someone came out to warn him.

They used Pei Youyou's past dirty deeds as leverage.

He returned empty-handed.

Luo Huai was always inseparable from Xing Yanzhao, and he couldn't get close to him at all.

What a coincidence today!

That's exactly what I wanted to ask.

Luo Huai said, "I changed my number."

"Why didn't you tell me you changed your number?" Pei Yuanzhou pressed.

Luo Huai simply said, "I changed my number because I didn't want to contact anyone."

Suddenly, Pei Yuanzhou's face turned slightly pale.

Xing's mother glanced at Luo Huai with satisfaction, while the others had various expressions.

Feeling embarrassed, Pei's parents called out to Pei Yuanzhou, and the family left.

Their son appeared dazed throughout the journey.

Suddenly, Pei's mother spoke up: "Yuanzhou, you're not young anymore. I have a few suitable candidates. Why don't you find an opportunity to meet them?"

"Mom, I won't marry anyone else."

Pei's father's expression changed drastically, and he said seriously, "What do you mean by that?"

Pei Yuanzhou looked at his parents and said, "It means exactly what you're thinking. The person I love is Luo Huai, and I won't marry anyone else."

Pei's mother was furious: "She's already married!"

"What's wrong with getting married?" Pei Yuanzhou said decisively. "I'll still marry the person I like, even if she's been married before and has children."

"You're absolutely insane! Luo Huai won't get a divorce. Even if she does, she's a woman Xing Yanzhao doesn't want. Don't even think about marrying into our Pei family."

"If it weren't for Youyou, why would Luo Huai have gotten married?"

"You agreed too! You personally persuaded Luo Huai!"

Pei's mother's words were like two knives, stabbing straight into Pei Yuanzhou's most painful spot. His eyes turned bloodshot. "You forced me into this too! How could a low-grade fever cause you to faint?"

Luo Huai began to lose faith in him from that day on.

He only realized later that he had been tricked by his own sister.

Pei's mother was speechless.

Pei's father scolded Pei Yuanzhou for speaking to his parents, saying, "What's done is done. It's impossible for you and Luo Huai to be together. You're the president of Pei's Group, don't do something as degrading as poaching someone else's partner."

Can he still pry it open?

Luo Huai has changed her phone number; she's determined not to have any contact with him.

Pei Yuanzhou didn't know how things had gotten to this point.

How did things get to this point?

Luo Huai was supposed to be his wife.

……

As soon as they entered the room, Luo Huai was lifted up and pressed against the door, her legs forced apart and hanging on Xing Yanzhao's waist.

"What, what are you doing?" Even though they've been very intimate at night lately, Luo Huai is still easily embarrassed, especially when she meets those deep, captivating eyes.

Xing Yanzhao kissed the corner of her mouth and said, "Happy."

"Huh?" Luo Huai didn't react.

Xing Yanzhao didn't explain, but leaned over and hugged her for a while.

After having dinner at the old house, they had to go back. Old Mrs. Xing asked the old housekeeper to personally escort them back and also personally prepared two New Year's gifts for Old Mrs. Kuang.

The old housekeeper also expressed his gratitude and offered New Year's greetings.

The three members of the family were all surprised to hear this.

After everyone left, Grandma Kuang, carrying a gift in each hand, pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the story behind this?"

Luo Huai shook his head.

Xing Yanzhao said, "It's just a small token of my grandparents' affection; they've been good to me."

Grandma Kuang had a pretty good idea of ​​whether Xing Yanzhao was good or bad. She nodded and said, "I have to return the favor. Can you help me think of something?"

Then he began to ponder the object in his hand.

"Bird's nest is expensive, how much is this?"

Luo Huai glanced at the brand logo and said, "This seems to cost a little over a thousand or two thousand per tael."

"How much?" Grandma Kuang's eyes widened as she gestured with her fingers. "One or two thousand for one tael? Swallow saliva is more expensive than gold!"

Bird's nest has been called "soft gold" since ancient times.

Luo Huai smiled and saw Grandma Kuang muttering to herself as she unwrapped another gift, a silk embroidered scarf shawl in a very elegant color.

"The scarf can't be that expensive, can it?" Grandma Kuang showed it to Luo Huai. "This looks like it's embroidered with gold thread, doesn't it?"

Luo Huai took it and saw that it was true.

Double-sided gold thread embroidery.

It's quite valuable, but she couldn't estimate its price.

Grandma Kuang knew very well that such craftsmanship was probably not cheap.

She put down her things, huffed and puffed as she went into the room, took out a cloth bag she had sewn herself, pulled out a large wad of red banknotes, and two bank cards.

She asked Luo Huai to accompany her to buy a gift.

The Xing family elders have plenty of things, and what she buys certainly can't compare to what the other party gives, but the proper etiquette must be observed, and the gifts that should be returned must be returned, even if the other party just leaves them to gather dust.

"Grandma, many shops will be closed on the third day of the Lunar New Year," Luo Huai said with a smile, pulling her back. "In a couple of days."

"You'll all be going to work then," Grandma Kuang said. "Yanzhao said you're going to do an internship. Have you decided where to go? Why don't you go to Kuangye Company? It's good to keep the benefits within the family."

Xing Yanzhao also looked over; he shared the same thought.

“Grandma, I want to go, but others might not want me,” Luo Huai said. “If there are suitable positions, I will apply.”

"There's a high demand for translators, and it's a good fit for your major." Xing Yanzhao slightly raised his chin. "Give it a try."

Luo Huai nodded, but added, "Don't ask Kuang Ye to give me special treatment."

She knew that Kuangye listened to Xing Yanzhao.

“He won’t open it,” Xing Yanzhao said.

Afterwards, Luo Huai checked the requirements for the translation position at Chaoye Technology, started making a resume, and submitted it.

With Chaoye Technology's generous benefits, the competition among applicants is fierce. For established listed companies like this, there are at least two rounds of interviews, and it's uncertain whether you'll ultimately pass.

We still need to be more prepared.

She found a lot of information about technology in both the government and the public.

These past two days I've been going to the Luo family to pay New Year's respects and pick out gifts. I'll also be picking out the return gifts that Grandma Kuang wants to give to the Xing family elders. It's been a non-stop trip.

After the Lantern Festival, Luo Huai received a call from the HR of Chaoye Technology, asking when she would be available for an interview.

Luo Huai said it would be ready tomorrow.
