When Luo Huai came downstairs, he overheard Xing's mother talking to Pei Youyou on the phone. He didn't know what the other person was saying, but Xing's mother's expression gradually improved, and in the end, she could be described as kind and gentle.

The phone hangs up.

Looking up, I saw the locust tree; its kindness was gone, but its gentleness remained.

"Why do you stay in your room the whole time? You don't even step out of the door. Marrying into this family isn't like going to jail."

"Mom, I'm busy finishing my thesis."

"There are still more than half a year left, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"The first draft was already finished and it was on the computer," Luo Huai said slowly. "Then the computer broke down."

Xing's mother choked up and said nothing more.

Anyway, the matter is over.

Xing's mother instructed the servants to bring over two insulated lunch boxes and handed them to Luo Huai without saying a word.

"Zhengyu and Yanzhao are busy in a meeting and haven't eaten yet. You can send them over. Just press this button to heat them up when they're done."

Luo Huai was forced to carry two lunchboxes, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

“Mom, I’m the eldest sister-in-law. People will gossip if I bring lunch to my brother-in-law.” She handed one of the lunchboxes back to the maid, smiled and nodded. “Mom, I’m going out.”

The maid, holding the lunchbox, smiled wryly: "Madam, this..."

Xing's mother's face turned ashen. "Tell her to take it to the company's front desk. Youyou will go get it."

"Yes." The maid jogged after her.

Luo Huai looked at the two lunch boxes on the passenger seat and finally took them to the front desk of Xing's Group headquarters, saying that a Miss Pei would come to pick them up later.

The marriage alliance between the Xing and Pei families was common knowledge throughout Ningcheng. Although no one had seen the two Pei family ladies in person, just hearing that they were surnamed Pei meant they were either the wife of President Xing or the wife of Young Master Xing.

The receptionist nodded and then smiled as she asked Luo Huai, "Madam, is there anything else you need?"

"I'm looking for Xing Yanzhao." After Luo Huai finished speaking, the receptionist's expression became cautious, and she began to ask how to address him.

Luo Huai gave his name.

The receptionist secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the man's surname wasn't Pei.

The woman outside of Mr. Xing's life?

"Madam, I'm sorry, you cannot go up without an appointment."

Luo Huai took out his phone and dialed Xing Yanzhao's number for the first time.

No one answered the beeping call.

She looked at the receptionist again, who gave her an apologetic look.

Just when she thought she would have to wait a while, a young man walked towards her curiously, looking her up and down while holding a steamed bun in his mouth and a bottle of water in his hand.

Upon reaching Luo Huai, the young man's eyes widened suddenly, and he ripped the steamed bun from his mouth, shouting, "Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law! Are you here to see Brother Xing?"

Luo Huai heard the receptionist call her Assistant Chen.

Luo Huai nodded: "Hello."

"Hello, sister-in-law. You can just call me Xiao Chen. I'm Brother Xing's assistant." Xiao Chen's eyes were full of amazement. His sister-in-law was much prettier than in the photos, and she was even more charming in person.

Wearing a pink suit, which might make others look darker, my sister-in-law looked fairer. Her long, neat, and smooth black hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a tall figure. She was also carrying a thermal lunchbox.

This is to bring lunch to Brother Xing.

Xiao Chen suddenly understood Xing Ge's love-struck mind.

With such a beautiful wife, he would have done the same.

Xiao Chen led her inside by swiping her card, and then they waited for the elevator.

"Brother Xing instructed before that when your wife arrives, she can go straight up, but since Brother Xing isn't here, she'll have to reluctantly take the staff elevator with me." The private elevator only recognizes the faces of President Xing, Brother Xing, and other company executives.

Luo Huai smiled and said thank you.

It was lunchtime and the elevator wasn't crowded; only a few people came up, chatting occasionally.

Lately, the most talked-about people in the company are General Manager Xing and Young Master Xing.

The title "Young Master Xing" immediately suggests that he's just here to coast along in the company. Everyone respects him only because he's the chairman's son, but he's actually quite disliked at work.

"Since joining the company, Young Master Xing has been doing nothing all day. I heard that he still reports directly to President Xing on matters related to the investment department. President Xing is extremely busy."

Xiao Chen coughed lightly.

Nobody paid any attention.

She continued, "Oh, how handsome Young Master Xing is, how great his physique is, how come he's such a copycat? He hears that whatever President Xing does, he does too. Even when he goes to the break room to make a cup of coffee, Young Master Xing comes along."

Another person said with a hint of disdain, "But Young Master Xing doesn't drink coffee, he only drinks plain water."

"Three of you," Xiao Chen finally couldn't help but remind you, "Putting aside the possibility of eavesdroppers, there are more than just the three of you in the elevator, so you should be careful what you say."

The three turned around: "Are you going to tattle?"

"Is drinking coffee some kind of high-class thing?" Luo Huai asked them. "Does not drinking coffee make you inferior? Is there a problem with him not liking coffee and preferring plain water?"

The tone became somewhat unfriendly towards the end.

The three of them pursed their lips and muttered, "What does it have to do with her? Is she just like the other dream girls in the company, lusting after his body and face, and his vast wealth?"

After all, even if Young Master Xing doesn't have the ability to inherit the Xing family business, he still has more money than he can spend in a lifetime and can live a life of wealth and luxury.

No sooner had they finished speaking than they arrived at their floor.

Before he could even take a step, Xiao Chen immediately said, "Young Mistress Xing is not some dream girl, but Young Master Xing's rightful wife, we have a certificate."

The three of them turned pale and walked away as fast as they could.

Luo Huai kept staring at the three people's backs.

Seeing that she was not happy, Xiao Chen immediately explained, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense. Brother Xing is still learning. He can't make important decisions on his own, right? This is also a responsibility to the company and our jobs. As for the rest, it's all just a coincidence."

It's just too much of a coincidence.

No matter where Brother Xing goes or what he does, he's bound to run into Boss Xing.

Rather than being a shrewd scholar, it's more accurate to say he's good at calculating.

He'd been with Brother Xing for a while, but he couldn't figure him out at all; he never knew what Brother Xing would do next.

"I know." Luo Huai knew that Xing Yanzhao was a reckless person. He wasn't good at making decisions at work, but he was sincere to those around him. No one can be good at everything.

"He's fine the way he is now." She blurted out what was on her mind.

At the same time, the elevator doors opened.

A shadow loomed over her.

"Brother Xing?" Xiao Chen called out.

Xing Yanzhao stood at the elevator door. He saw a missed call from Luo Huai on his phone and immediately called back, but the other party did not answer. Then he saw a message from Xiao Chen saying that Luo Huai had come to the company.

He anticipated that Xiao Chen would take the staff elevator, so he came here to wait.

Not only did they wait for people.

And then I heard, "He's fine the way he is now."

He felt it referred to him.

I have some doubts.

So he asked directly, "Were you referring to me when you said that?"

At the same time, he stepped aside to let Luo Huai out of the elevator.

Luo Huai was of medium height, standing out among the girls, but she appeared petite next to Xing Yanzhao, especially since she was wearing pink.

Xing Yanzhao was dressed entirely in black.

Even Xiao Chen couldn't help but exclaim that the black and pink color combination was a perfect match.

"Brother Xing, your wife brought you lunch, this is it?" Xiao Chen held up the exquisitely prepared takeout in his hand; this was also for Brother Xing.

Xing Yanzhao noticed the lunchbox Luo Huai was carrying, reached out to take it, and his fingers almost brushed against her soft hand.

Luo Huai's fingers trembled slightly as he looked up at Xing Yanzhao.

Xing Yanzhao then looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You eat."

"Okay, thanks, Brother Xing." Xiao Chen said with a grin, "I won't disturb Brother Xing and his wife's meal any longer." He then ran off in a flash.

Xing Yanzhao carried the lunchbox in one hand and took Luo Huai's hand with the other.

Luo Huai's back was straight.

"You won't give it to me?"

"No." Luo Huai stopped struggling and let the hot hand hold her.

I heard footsteps and voices nearby.

She looked up.

Two groups of people came out of the conference room. One group was the Xing family, led by Xing Zhengyu, and the other group was the Pei family, led by Pei Yuanzhou.

Today is the day Xing and Pei signed contracts for their two projects.

Pei Yuanzhou immediately glanced at their tightly clasped hands.

He suddenly remembered the question Youyou asked him yesterday when she was crying.

"Brother, are you so angry because of the Pei family, or because you know I bullied Luo Huai? You like her, don't you?"
