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

Xing Yuru blinked timidly.

"Second sister-in-law..."

“Youyou? Yurou?” Xing Zhengyu and his father came over at the same time. Xing’s father looked at Pei Youyou with a slightly somber expression.

Xing Zhengyu walked over and explained to Xing Yuru first: "Yuru, your second sister-in-law was a bit harsh just now. I apologize to you. But Youyou didn't do it on purpose. She must have been upset by something. Aren't you good friends? It's normal for good friends to joke around."

Pei Youyou caught a look from her husband and snapped back to reality.

She is the apple of the Pei family's eye, and Xing Yuru is the apple of the Xing family's eye.

Now that she's in the Xing family, she not only can't afford to offend Xing Yurou, but she also has to win her over.

She's not stupid either.

He understood immediately and took Xing Yuru's hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just that Xing Yanzhao was really too fierce. How can he scold a girl like that? He has no tolerance at all."

"Don't be angry. I'll take you to see the musical you've been wanting to see in a couple of days, how about that?"

Xing Yuru is the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and she doesn't hold grudges. As long as you apologize to her sincerely, she will usually forgive you.

Besides, her second sister-in-law will accompany her to see the musical!

"It's fine."

Xing Yuru smiled, and the matter was naturally dropped.

Xing Zhengyu and Pei Youyou then went out.

As soon as they went outside, Pei Youyou brought up the old matter again.

"Brother Zhengyu, can't we really move out and live on our own?" She was fed up with the early morning rule, having to be on guard against Xing Yanzhao, that irritable maniac, and also having to take care of Xing Yuru, that rich young lady.

That's enough.

She had never been treated like this before.

A fleeting glint of malice crossed Xing Zhengyu's eyes, which vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by a gentle smile. "Youyou, can you tell me what just happened?"

"It's all because of Luo Huai and Xing Yanzhao! Luo Huai deliberately wore the same jewelry as me and even had Xing Yanzhao insult me! He said I was jealous because you didn't buy it for me."

"Brother Zhengyu, I had my eye on a place before. Buy it for me, so they won't look down on me!" Pei Youyou hooked her arm around his and nuzzled him affectionately. That's how she always acted coquettishly with her parents and brother at home.

She can get whatever she wants with just a little bit of coquetry.

Xing Zhengyu nodded: "Of course, I'll buy you whatever you want."

Pei Youyou tiptoed and kissed him.

Zheng Yu loves her just as much as her parents and brother do!

Xing Zhengyu immediately called his assistant to buy it and swiped his card.

He was initially provoked by Xing Yanzhao into saying he would no longer use the cards his parents gave him, but now that Pei Youyou has swiped them, even though it's a small amount of money, it's still flowing out like water.

I don't know how much money and effort I'll have to spend to make people happy in the future.

It's a bottomless pit.

If they really leave the Xing family, they will have no power or status, and they won't even have the money to make a living.

The Lin family? He can't possibly go back.

The Xing family is determined to win.

……

In the car.

Luo Huai fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at the man in the driver's seat. "It's okay if you didn't help me just now. Just ignore it, it'll pass in a bit."

“That won’t do.” Xing Yanzhao looked ahead and navigated to the nearest marriage registration office. “The word ‘tolerance’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary. If you tolerate one point, the other party will take an inch and then a mile; if you tolerate two points, the other party will shit on your head.”

Rough words are not rough.

Luo Huai didn't speak.

The car slowly drove away.

“Tolerance was for the past, not for now.” Xing Yanzhao glanced at her sideways. “Didn’t I tell you not to be too obedient? If Pei Youyou scolds you, just scold back. If you can’t get away with it, step aside and I’ll step in.”

Actually, he never used to swear.

You'll naturally learn by watching the old lady scold.

Especially since that brat in the wilderness was a coward who could be scolded all day without uttering a sound, he had no choice but to step in.

At first, he could win arguments with kids his own age, but he couldn't out-argue the neighborhood aunties.

He may lose the fight, but he won't lose face.

You'll get the hang of it after a while.

He didn't do well in school, but he had a knack for languages.

"It's just a momentary display of verbal prowess," Luo Huai said. "It's a waste of breath."

“If it makes the other person uncomfortable, then it’s not a waste. What’s the point of just being eloquent? I’m happy as long as I hit their sore spot.” Xing Yanzhao raised an eyebrow. “Live for the moment.”

Carpe Diem?

This was the first time Luo Huai had heard "living for the moment" explained in this way, and he chuckled softly.

Even when she smiles, it's always gentle, revealing her white teeth, but it's never exaggerated.

The sunlight shone on her, making her smile even brighter.

Even the individual strands of hair were glowing.

Xing Yanzhao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, paused for a moment, then continued to concentrate on driving.

The car stopped in front of the marriage registration office. Luo Huai touched his handbag; his palms were slightly sweaty.

Inside is her household registration booklet.

Although she was adopted by the Pei family, she has always been registered as an independent household.

It's more like they're just letting me stay here than adopting me.

Xing Yanzhao rummaged through his coat pocket and pulled out a household registration booklet as well.

Inside the glass doors and windows, Pei Youyou leaned against Xing Zhengyu, holding a registration photo in her hand, talking about something.

Almost all the newlyweds who came to register were snuggling together, or holding hands and chatting and laughing.

Perhaps only Luo Huai and Xing Yanzhao looked like a couple, let alone a married couple who had already held a wedding banquet. The two maintained a distance of half a meter from each other and walked straight toward the registration office door without looking at each other.

Xing Yanzhao pushed open the door, and his phone vibrated.

He let Luo Huai go in first, and then answered the phone himself.

"Brother, the old lady has fainted. I'm taking her to the hospital. Hurry!"

Xing Yanzhao's expression changed. He looked at Luo Huai's slender back inside the door, walked in, and said, "I have urgent business to attend to, so I won't be there today."

He handed the car keys to Luo Huai, turned around, went out, and hailed a taxi.

Luo Huai stood there, stunned.

Everyone in the hall looked at her.

Someone muttered.

"The man ran away?"

"You're not going to claim him? Why are you just leaving him here?"

Xing Zhengyu and Pei Youyou turned around when they heard the noise and found that the person everyone was talking about was Luo Huai, but Xing Yanzhao was nowhere to be seen.

Pei Youyou smiled.

She walked over, determined to turn the tide.

"Where is Xing Yanzhao? I heard he ran away. Is he really that unwilling to register your marriage? How can you do this? The wedding banquet has been held. You can't deny it just because you don't register your marriage."

What's the difference between abandoning someone in public at the marriage registration office and running away from a wedding?

Even a young girl like Luo Huai has her pride.

Especially after Pei Youyou said that the wedding had already been held, but he ran away after getting the marriage certificate, it was enough to show how much the other party disliked him.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Luo Huai contained both mockery and pity.

Luo Huai composed himself and said, "He has something urgent to attend to."

"What urgent matter could have caused you to leave your wife behind?" Pei Youyou guessed wildly, "Did something happen to the woman outside?"

Luo Huai recalled what Xing Yanzhao had said last night, and his gaze became firm: "No."

"Brother was indeed wrong in this matter," Xing Zhengyu came over to comfort him. "Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. Why don't you wait until we get our marriage certificate and go back together?"

Pei Youyou's eyes lit up: "Yes."

She wanted to show Luo Huai how well she was doing, so that Luo Huai would only be filled with envy and resentment, just like he was in the Pei family.

Luo Huai smiled and said, "I'll head back now."

She still couldn't learn Xing Yanzhao's "seize the day" mentality.

As soon as they stepped out, Pei Youyou laughed so hard she bent over. "It would be great if Xing Yanzhao never wanted to get the marriage certificate. Luo Huai is just someone nobody wants."

Xing Zhengyu smiled and said, "Yes."

It's better not to get a marriage certificate.

If they get their marriage certificate a day later, Xing Yanzhao will enter the Xing family a day later, giving him more time.

Pei Youyou, who was standing to the side, took out her phone and said excitedly, "I'm going to share this with everyone so that everyone can be happy."

Xing Zhengyu stared at Pei Youyou's movements, slowly curving his lips into a smile, a plan forming in his mind.

Less than half an hour later, news broke that the eldest son of the Xing family had abandoned his wife and fled from the marriage registration office.

Xing was subjected to public opinion.

Luo Huai became a laughing stock.
