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

He had met Luo Huai once at a bar, but he didn't know her name. He only remembered her appearance and her startling words, "Please marry me."

I just saw a woman standing next to Brother Zhao on the second floor. I recognized her. It startled me. I almost thought Brother Zhao was having an affair.

Zhao Ge initially refused, saying he had a fiancée.

That's not the kind of person I'm talking about!

He was both surprised and delighted to hear the other person call him Luo Huai.

He exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"

Xing Yanzhao: "No story is without coincidences."

"Sister-in-law, please go to the third floor, please go to the third floor."

Luo Huai suddenly realized the meaning of "whether you mind or not," but since they had already held a wedding, it was normal for them to meet Zhao Ge's friends.

"Hello."

Xing Yanzhao kicked him: "Name."

"Oh, hello sister-in-law, you can just call me Lao Shen like Brother Zhao does." Lao Shen winked at Xing Yanzhao with a cheerful smile, "We're family, we're family, I'll cook myself!"

Luo Huai called him Brother Shen.

Before Lao Shen even entered the kitchen, he kept sending voice messages to the five-person group chat.

"Quickly! Everyone come this way!"

"Brother Zhao has brought some people over for dinner!"

"You'll definitely regret it if you don't come, especially you, Mr. Kuang!"

After posting, he chuckled. Back in the Qingba bar, they were still feeling sorry for Brother Zhao's arranged marriage.

Man proposes, God disposes! Hahahaha!

Just thinking about how dumbfounded the wilderness will be later makes me laugh.

Xing Yanzhao lazily held his phone, knowing without even clicking what the three voice messages were saying. He returned to the screen and remembered that the two of them hadn't added each other as friends yet.

Find her phone number and search for it.

Nickname: Gemu.

They took one side of each name.

The profile picture is of an ordinary leaf glowing under the shade of a tree.

He changed the note and sent it.

"Accept my friend request."

Luo Huai took out his phone from his bag and, sure enough, there was a new friend request: Brother Zhao.

The nickname is just these two characters.

She doesn't even need to change her nickname when accepting friend requests.

I just don't know what Xing Yanzhao saved her in his contact list.

Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Kuangye appeared at the door, his gaze first sweeping over Luo Huai. He thought his brother had finally brought his sister-in-law to meet the world, but it turned out to be this little girl!

He froze.

He muttered a curse under his breath.

Xing Yanzhao slammed his hand on the table: "Be more civilized."

Civilization my ass!

You're the one who loves to spout traditional Chinese culture!

"Brother, come out here!" Kuangye yanked the man out, slammed the door shut, and immediately exclaimed, "Brother, are you crazy!"

Xing Yanzhao: "?"

Kuangye lowered his voice: "You can learn from the mindset and vision of the rich, but you can't learn their decadent ways. Who taught me that? How come you're raising birds yourself!"

Xing Yanzhao: "What bird?"

"Canary!" Wilderness grabbed his collar and raised her voice, "Why are you keeping a canary like everyone else?"

Old Shen arrived just in time, still wearing his chef's hat and carrying a large shovel.

He called out "President Kuang" and forcibly pulled the people away, while giving Xing Yanzhao a meaningful look.

Xing Yanzhao immediately realized that Old Shen was deliberately deceiving this rascal.

They've been at odds since childhood, and even at their advanced age, they still enjoy their constant bickering.

Xing Yanzhao ignored him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let go, you disrespectful brat."

"Let go, let go! Brother Zhao is telling you to let go." Old Shen went up to pull the person again. "Brother Zhao knows what he's doing, we don't need to worry about him."

Kuangye glared at him: "You know perfectly well that my brother is married."

"I know, I know, it all comes down to Brother Zhao's business, so don't be so harsh."

Kuang Ye was furious. Ever since Lao Shen opened his restaurant, he had become increasingly cunning. He shook off the man and told him to get lost.

Old Shen quickly left, finished cooking his signature dish, and then quickly returned to the private room, making sure to send private messages to the two who couldn't come.

As we sat down in the private room, the dishes were served one after another.

Luo Huai sensed something was off. The first two times he met Kuang Ye, Kuang Ye had treated him fairly well, and now he even had a smile on his face, but there was an extra layer of hazy mask on his face.

Xing Yanzhao tilted his head and introduced to Luo Huai: "Kuang Ye, my brother, the one I told you about before who got his doctorate. He leads an experimental team at a technology company. Old Shen likes to call him President Kuang. He's four years older than you, twenty-six. You can just call him by his name."

Kuangye's pupils contracted, realizing from her words that the girl opposite him already knew his brother's true identity.

She's such a well-behaved girl, why is she standing so close to her brother?

You know my brother got married, right?

Luo Huai nodded, somewhat bewildered, "I know."

A soft chuckle came from beside him, and Old Shen on the other side also laughed and said, "Who doesn't know about Brother Zhao's marriage?"

“Um…” He paused slightly, then smiled apologetically, “This is just how Mr. Kuang is. Please forgive him. He’s been hated by everyone since he was a child. Even stray dogs would bully him. If it weren’t for Brother Zhao, he would be walking with his head down now. He’s Brother Zhao’s biggest fan.”

Even the most toxic fans hate their sister-in-law.

"Alright, Lao Shen." Kuang Ye frowned. He was the youngest among them, but he never called anyone else "brother." The others never cared, since the only thing this kid ever said was: "I only have one brother."

Luo Huai ate quietly and politely, thinking she was just listening to the three of them chat about everyday things. Xing Yanzhao would occasionally put food in her bowl, but he didn't say much.

He didn't speak, and the wilderness remained silent.

Old Shen, on the other hand, was very attentive to Luo Huai, his sister-in-law, introducing this dish and that soup, and even serving them himself.

It's like asking for forgiveness after doing something wrong.

Xing Yanzhao once again leaned down and whispered in Luo Huai's ear, "He kept it from Kuang Ye who you are, and apologized to you. Don't forgive him."

“I also indulged him, so please don’t forgive me.”

So close, so close, that even breathing feels like breathing, each drop spraying onto the cochlea.

From childhood to adulthood, Luo Huai has always kept her distance from boys in a proper and respectful manner. Even though they are both girls, she would never tumble and roll around with them.

The closest one is Pei Yuanzhou.

The most intimate act is a kiss on the cheek when drunk.

They've only whispered so close to each other a few times, and it's always been with Xing Yanzhao.

Luo Huai's ears turned red without her noticing.

My earlobes also turned pink.

Xing Yanzhao chuckled softly again, his eyes squinting upwards, exuding a subtle roguish charm.

"Oh no, oh no! His brother's like a peacock spreading its tail feathers to seduce people!" Kuangye cried out in his heart.

Luo Huai didn't dare to look them in the eye, and only said softly, "It's alright."

They're incredibly well-behaved.

Xing Yanzhao thought to himself, "This is hard to change."

Well, there's no rushing this.

After lunch, Luo Huai asked where the restroom was. Xing Yanzhao was about to lead the people there when Kuang Ye called him back.

Kuangye pointed out the way to Luo Huai, and after walking away, he turned to his brother and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

“It’s nothing,” Xing Yanzhao said. “But I have a question for you. How did you know that Professor Luo likes ginseng, Professor Lin likes cameras, and even which history professor their daughter likes and which period of history she likes?”

"You've been investigating Luo Huai behind his back?"

The man's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

Kuangye glared at him. How could he be protecting his wife while also bringing his canary to meet his friends?

"Ok?"

“The address you sent is a friend of my doctoral supervisor. I visited him. Before the visit, my supervisor mentioned some things about Professor Luo’s family. Professor Luo likes Chinese herbal medicine because his daughter has heart disease. I thought ginseng was the most effective. Professor Lin likes to take pictures of Professor Luo and his daughter with his mobile phone.”

"I haven't met Professor Luo's daughter. I heard that she was raised like a precious porcelain doll from childhood. Apart from going to school, she never leaves the house. She loves reading and is fond of history."

"I was going to give you that book last time, but I didn't have time, so I'm offering it to you instead."

Xing Yanzhao patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks to you."

When Kuangye was a child, he had two favorite things: his brother praising him and his grandmother making him a bowl of noodles with meat.

As you grow older, you become more concerned about many things, but these two points have always remained constant.

Xing Yanzhao's casual compliment was just a way of flattering him. Kuang Ye remained silent for a moment before reminding him, "Brother, you taught me not to do things against my conscience."

Luo Huai had already washed her hands and came out, wiping them with a tissue as she walked.

Xing Yanzhao looked up and called out, "Luo Huai, over here."

Wilderness: "???"

Wait, what's this little girl's name?
