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

Ten o'clock... After she was wide awake last night, she took out her laptop to read literature and write papers. When she was staring at the computer screen in a daze, it seemed to be three o'clock.

She slept for seven hours with her head on Xing Yanzhao's arm.

Why didn't her biological clock wake her up?

Why is Xing Yanzhao in bed?

Looking down, I saw that nothing was missing.

Hearing the noise, Xing Yanzhao opened his eyes, sat up, calmly got out of bed, and explained, "Last night you were so tired from writing your thesis that you almost fell off the bed. I reached out to help you, but you grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go, so I couldn't pull it out."

The locust tree was shrouded in mist.

It seems like I believe it, but I don't.

He also got off the bed and accidentally bumped into the laptop on the bedside table with a clatter.

Smash it on her big toe.

Luo Huai's first thought was her thesis. Ignoring her bleeding thumb, she opened her computer to check if the document had been saved.

"It's still there..." she breathed a sigh of relief.

A pair of large hands snatched the computer and tossed it onto the bed, then gently lifted her up, and Luo Huai sat on the edge of the bed.

The maid, who had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time, finally saw the door open.

The young master exuded a fierce aura: "Call the family doctor."

The maid was startled and couldn't help but glance inside; the young mistress's foot was bleeding.

The young master is abusing his family again!

The eldest son carried his eldest wife downstairs, and she turned a corner on the second floor to go find the second young mistress.

"Did you hear what happened?"

"It seems that the eldest young mistress was writing her thesis all day yesterday, and the eldest young master got angry and smashed her with his computer."

"A thesis." Pei Youyou smiled.

The family doctor arrived to treat Mrs. Xing's foot injury and saw Mr. Xing taking a phone call in the distance, seemingly unconcerned.

Only Madam Xing and Miss Xing were watching from the side.

The mother and daughter looked at Luo Huai's swollen and bleeding thumb, their lips pressed tightly together and their brows slightly furrowed.

For a moment, Xing's mother didn't know whether she should scold her, since her own son's behavior had already caused Luo Huai to suffer.

Finally, I'll just say this once and for all: this is a one-time exception.

Even after his foot injury was treated, Xing Yanzhao's phone call wasn't over.

Xing's mother had no idea where her son was getting so many phone calls every day, making him even busier than Zheng Yu, who worked at the group company.

You haven't quit your job of driving around to pick up products for a company's clients, have you?

This shows that the Xing family has lost face and that they don't value their own son.

"Luo Huai," Xing's mother asked, looking at her, "did you two go and get your marriage certificate later?"

Luo Huai shook his head.

Zhao Ge never mentioned it, and she forgot about it too.

"Hurry up and get the marriage certificate so Yanzhao can join the company. He's been doing nothing all day, which is unacceptable." When Xing's mother wasn't angry, she spoke calmly and dignifiedly, but her eyes were also very calm, as if she were doing business. "You still have to hold an ancestral worship ceremony at the end of this month to truly recognize the people of your clan. Without the marriage certificate, you can't even step into the old house."

After the doctor finished bandaging her wound and left, Xing's mother also turned and left.

Xing Yuru remained where she was, her eyes fixed on her large thumb wrapped in gauze. Her face was even more wrinkled than before, revealing a hint of concern.

Luo Huai smiled at her sincerely.

Xing Yuru muttered under her breath, "My older brother is such a jerk."

Upon hearing this, Luo Huai explained, "I injured myself; it has nothing to do with Brother Zhao."

Obviously, nobody believed it.

Even before Luo Huai married into the family, she could sense that everyone in the Xing family disliked Xing Yanzhao.

Four days after she married into the family, I discovered that the word "dislike" still doesn't quite capture the essence of her condition.

It would be more accurate to say "disgust".

Even Xing Yuru, who is as innocent as a white flower, doesn't like him.

These people are clearly his family.

Luo Huai glanced at the man standing in the distance answering the phone. He didn't seem to care whether the Xing family treated him like their own child or not. The only thing he did was never let anyone bully him.

If anyone doesn't give him face, he'll make them lose even more face.

The man seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head and looked back, his deep and sharp eyes like those of a hawk.

Luo Huai hurriedly looked away.

In Xing Yuru's eyes, it was as if her older brother was using his eyes to threaten her sister-in-law into not telling the truth.

She thought about it and realized that her sister-in-law was also a pitiful person.

Even hateful people have their pitiful side.

“Sister-in-law, I know that my brother bullies you behind your back, and you can’t fight back. You should try to divorce him. Anyway, Mom, Dad, and my second sister-in-law don’t like you. I…” Xing Yuru’s tone was awkward. “If you stop bullying my second sister-in-law and stop taking her things from now on, and if you are willing to change, we can be friends.”

"What are you whispering about?" The footsteps behind me grew closer.

Xing Yuru was startled and turned away.

She was also afraid of getting her toes crushed.

Luo Huai closed her slightly parted lips again and looked up at the man whose shadow loomed over her like a mountain.

What did she say to you?

Let me find a way to divorce you.

"You want to be my friend." Luo Huai smiled slightly.

Xing Yanzhao looked surprised. He didn't believe it at first, but then seemed to believe it and replied, "She judges by appearance."

When he appeared at the Xing family's door, the first person he met was Xing Yuru.

Xing Yuru was the first to recognize him, saying he looked like her father and suspecting he might be an illegitimate child.

Upon closer inspection, he also said that he resembled his mother.

When he revealed that he was the biological child of the Xing family, Xing Yuru was shocked and her eyes lit up. She whispered that her brother was so handsome.

It was similar to the way Xing Yuru looked at Luo Huai on their wedding day.

"But she lacks judgment and believes whatever others say. This is related to the fact that she has always followed her family's arrangements and never made her own decisions since she was a child. You should still be careful," Xing Yanzhao reminded her.

Luo Huai blinked and suddenly realized that Xing Yanzhao didn't seem to dislike his younger sister. Even when he asked if they were whispering, he subconsciously lowered his voice.

She asked curiously, "Have you always been used to taking care of people younger than you since you were little?"

Xing Yanzhao didn't understand the connection between the two sentences, but still answered her seriously, "It's alright. I've had some things to take care of lately..."

"Can we go get our marriage certificate this afternoon, Brother Zhao?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, but Xing Yanzhao stopped when he heard the words "getting the marriage certificate" and waited for her to finish speaking first.

"My foot is injured." Xing Yanzhao's words implied refusal.

Luo Huai was somewhat hurt. Pei Yuanzhou was ambiguous with her, only referring to her as his younger sister, and Xing Yanzhao and she had already held a wedding banquet but were reluctant to register their marriage.

Moreover, according to her mother-in-law, Zhao Ge could only go to work at the company after they got their marriage certificate.

She herself didn't want to be nameless and without recognition.

I've already suffered the pain of being nameless and unrecognized.

"Brother Zhao...don't you want to accept it?" Luo Huai asked softly, tilting his head back.

Of course I do.

But he thought that since Luo Huai was already unwilling to get married, he should at least get the marriage certificate happily.

This doesn't look like someone in a good mood.

My foot is injured again.

Her feet have been suffering ever since her wedding day.

Xing Yanzhao asked sharply, "What did Mom just say to you? That I can only join the company after we get our marriage certificate?"

Seeing that Luo Huai didn't say anything.

Yes.

It turned out they were blackmailed with just one sentence.

"Okay." Xing Yanzhao felt uneasy; this wasn't what he had expected. "No need to wait until the afternoon, let's go now."

The man picked up Luo Huai in one swift motion.

His sword-like eyebrows were cold and sharp.

His eyes were filled with anger.

Luo Huai knew he was angry.

You need to get a certificate for being angry.

Xing Yanzhao wanted to join the company, and she wanted a formal title as well.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way. Luo Huai's silence was like cool night water, while Xing Yanzhao's silence suppressed his anger. The contrast between ice and fire was intense and intertwined. The driver in front was wiping away cold sweat and his teeth were chattering.

We've arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Xing Yanzhao took a long stride and was the first to get off the bus.

Luo Huai slowly moved his body.

The man suddenly bent down and came back, carrying her out in his arms and into the hall. Unlike the elaborate outfit he wore on the day they got their marriage certificate, everything looked very hasty.

Take photos, get the certificate, and get it stamped.

The red notebook landed in my palm.

Luo Huai opened it and looked at it; her smile was very natural.

The man next to her didn't smile.
