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

how is this possible.

He only treated Luo Huai as a younger sister.

Pei Yuanzhou told himself this in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the two people's clasped hands.

Just then, someone smiled and complimented, "Is the young mistress here to have lunch with the young master? How nice!"

The others also had smiles on their faces.

I thought the Xing family had created a miserable couple so that the fake young master and Miss Pei could finally be together.

That's not entirely true now.

Mrs. Xing was beautiful, dignified, and gentle. Standing next to the fierce young master, she seemed a bit milder.

At the same time, Pei Youyou also arrived.

She was dressed elegantly, with exquisite makeup.

People from the Pei family all called her Miss Pei, while people from the Xing family addressed her as Second Young Mistress. They didn't dare to call her the President's Wife easily, since the inheritance rights of the Xing family had not yet been completely handed over to anyone.

Those who occupy high positions are all shrewd and calculating.

Seeing Luo Huai and Xing Yanzhao holding hands, Pei Youyou naturally stepped forward and took Xing Zhengyu's arm, calling him "elder brother" and "elder sister-in-law" for the first time ever.

When the words "sister-in-law" came out, Pei Yuanzhou almost thought that Youyou was calling him his wife.

His wife is Luo Huai.

This equation made his heart skip a beat.

The scene of Youyou questioning him in a hoarse voice about whether he liked Luo Huai reappeared.

Pei Youyou spoke again, finally pulling him back to reality.

"Sister-in-law, where's my and Zhengyu's lunch?" Pei Youyou asked, noticing that she was only holding a lunchbox. "Didn't Mom say that you brought it with you? Where is it?"

It was as if Luo Huai had already lost something.

Luo Huai said, "I left it at the front desk, and Mom said you'll go get it yourself."

"Huh?" Pei Youyou pouted. "Why didn't you bring it along? It was on the way."

"Luo Huai isn't a servant you can order around. Don't treat her like that." Xing Yanzhao put his arm around Luo Huai's shoulder, as if pulling her into his arms. "She even brought you all the way from home to the company. Aren't you going to say thank you?"

With executives from both Xing and Pei's companies watching, Pei Youyou dared not act rashly.

Especially after being scolded by her father and older brother at her parents' home, who told her to get along well with Luo Huai in the future, that while others could be appeased with money, Luo Huai clearly couldn't be dealt with by money.

Especially since Luo Huai also has Xing Yanzhao behind her, who is trying to find ways to mess with her, she can only befriend him and cannot afford to have any direct conflict with him.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Pei Youyou said without any hesitation, since it was just empty words anyway.

She's very good at putting on a good show.

Pei Youyou had already said thank you, so what could Luo Huai say but reply, "You're welcome"?

Xing Yanzhao and Xing Zhengyu appear to be like brothers.

Luo Huai and Pei Youyou appear to be a harmonious couple.

Whether true or false.

That's all that matters when people see it.

The shareholders of both Xing and Pei families can breathe a sigh of relief.

This is why Xing's mother specifically asked her two daughters-in-law to bring lunch, hoping to dispel the gossip about the Xing family that had been circulating recently.

Having made the necessary gestures, Xing Zhengyu personally saw Pei Yuanzhou and the others off.

As soon as everyone left.

Pei Youyou immediately turned and headed towards Xing Zhengyu's office, instructing Xing Zhengyu's secretary to fetch lunch from the front desk.

Luo Huai and Xing Yanzhao also returned to their office.

The investment department and the president's office are on the same floor.

However, one is in the east and the other in the west, they are far apart.

When the employees in the investment department saw Luo Huai, they all called her "sister-in-law." Xiao Chen was the one who called her the loudest, which others thought was a bit obsequious.

How could they not fawn over each other?

He'd only been with Xing's for six months! In just six months, Brother Xing promoted him to assistant general manager, doubling his salary. Brother Xing was his benefactor.

Xiao Chen quickly opened the door for them and then left cleanly and efficiently.

Draw the blinds.

To block outside eyes from investigating.

There was a sofa, as well as a table and chairs in the office. Xing Yanzhao brought a soft office chair for Luo Huai, and casually pulled up an ordinary chair for himself to sit down while opening his lunchbox.

“Brother Zhao”.

"Hmm?" Xing Yanzhao looked up at her. He would look over almost every time Luo Huai called him.

Fearing that Luo Huai would feel uncomfortable, he glanced at her and then looked away, continuing to focus on what he was doing.

"How does Assistant Chen know me?" Luo Huai wanted to ask from the beginning. Actually, Assistant Chen didn't recognize me at first either, but he took a second look before he was sure.

For a high-society wedding like the Xing family's, the company employees who can attend are all top-level managers.

Xing Yanzhao said, "I showed him the photos."

"Oh." Luo Huai nodded, his curiosity piqued again. "Where did you get the photos?"

Xing Yanzhao took out his phone, found the photo, and placed it in front of Luo Huai.

Marriage certificate photo.

Luo Huai: "..."

It turned out to be the case.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have the habit of showing your marriage certificate to everyone you meet, do you?"

Xing Yanzhao set out the bowl and chopsticks for her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Huai mentioned that Zhu Shuangshuang would often play CEO romance novels in the dormitory, and eight out of ten male protagonists in those novels would always have their marriage certificates with them.

It's so embarrassing.

Also, on the wedding day, she overheard Pei Youyou telling someone that Xing Zhengyu carried an engagement letter with him.

So exaggerated.

She spoke slowly, her moist eyes conveying a deep seriousness, as if she were telling a fairy tale.

Xing Yanzhao thought to herself that she was different from Kuang Ye when she was a child. Kuang Ye was insecure and afraid of causing trouble and letting down the old lady, so he had to learn to be obedient. In other people's eyes, he was weak and easy to bully.

Luo Huai's "well-behaved" is like a quiet kitten.

You look at her, and she looks back at you.

If you tickle her lightly, it's fine; but if you tickle her too hard, she'll immediately show her claws.

But it only shows its claws without baring its teeth, remaining quiet and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

“I’m not showing you the marriage certificate.” Xing Yanzhao placed the bowl in her palm. “I’m just showing you a photo, in case no one can give you directions.”

He knew that Luo Huai was a low-key and refined person.

Luo Huai smiled, picked up his bowl, and began to eat. The office was quiet.

Ever since they had noodles together last time, Xing Yanzhao has been eating slowly and carefully in front of her, without opening his mouth. However, the office is too quiet, and you can still hear the crisp chewing sound when he eats carrots.

Like mukbang (eating broadcast).

So much so that Luo Huai wanted to eat it, and kept picking up carrots from the stew.

She ate a whole big bowl of rice.

Xing Yanzhao noticed that she was eating more heartily than at the Xing family home, so he said, "Why don't you come to the company and have dinner with me from now on?"

"Huh?" Luo Huai's eyes widened in surprise.

Xing Yanzhao then asked, "How's the thesis coming along?"

Luo Huai replied, "I can finish the first draft this afternoon. After that, I will be busy revising the draft. I want to finish revising it before New Year's Day and submit the final draft."

"So rushed? There's still one semester left."

"There's one more."

"Two articles?" Xing Yanzhao didn't understand.

Luo Huai explained, "I'm pursuing a double degree, learning a less commonly taught language because I enjoy it, but it's not easy to find a job if you only study a less commonly taught language."

Although she was raised in the Pei family, she wasn't a true heiress. She couldn't act solely on her hobbies; she still had to consider her work and future.

Upon hearing this, Xing Yanzhao immediately put some fish into her bowl, saying, "You've worked so hard, eat more."

Luo Huai suddenly smiled.

"what happened?"

"When Uncle Luo found out I was pursuing a double degree, he did the same thing as you, putting lots of meat in my bowl."

"Does this sound like you're saying I look like an uncle?" Xing Yanzhao thought to himself, he was seven years older than the girl, so it wasn't surprising that he looked like an uncle.

Luo Huai then thought of Zhu Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang said last time that you look like your dad.

Xing Yanzhao: "..."

He looks like both an uncle and a father.

She's just not like my husband.

Xing Yanzhao asked bluntly, "In what ways am I not like your husband?"
