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

Luo Huai and the others returned to Binjiang Bay.

Kuangye sat in the passenger seat while Xiao Chen drove, glancing at Kuangye from time to time.

This is Mr. Kuang from Chaoye Technology!

A rising star in the tech industry who has gained fame in recent years but rarely makes public appearances.

Even more famous than CEO Kuang is Chaoye Technology's work system.

Wilderness: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"President Kuang, is it true that Chaoye Technology offers six types of insurance and one housing fund upon joining, with weekends off, a 9-to-5 work schedule, no overtime, overtime requires application, overtime pay, meal allowance, transportation allowance, salary paid on the 5th, and a 13th-month salary at the end of the year, and a direct cash payment?" Xiao Chen said in one breath without panting, his eyes shining brightly as he looked ahead.

Kuangye chuckled upon hearing this, "You're changing jobs?"

Xiao Chen whispered, "You guys don't hire many people."

Companies that don't hire often mean that no employees quit or leave, and that employees are unlikely to leave because they can't stay. They're very hard to get into!

Sometimes it depends on fate.

"I've missed my chance, but I'm asking around for someone else," Xiao Chen said. "Following Brother Xing, my future is limitless!"

Kuangye turned around and said, "Brother, your assistant is quite the flatterer."

In the back seat, Luo Huai looked worriedly at Xing Yanzhao's slapped cheek.

Xing Yanzhao said, "It's not swollen."

Kuangye: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, he's shameless."

Luo Huai withdrew his gaze and continued looking out the window, lost in thought.

The car fell silent.

Back at Binjiang Bay, slippers were provided for Luo Huai on both sides, and the two brothers went straight to the balcony to smoke and talk.

Grandma Kuang inadvertently caught a glimpse of half a copper coin sticking out of Luo Huai's ankle, exclaimed in surprise, and asked, "Were you sick before?"

Seeing her grandmother staring at her ankles, Luo Huai lifted her skirt slightly, revealing the entire red string, and asked in confusion, "How did Grandma know?"

"Still running a high fever, right?" Old Mrs. Kuang smiled, looking like she knew it.

Grandma Kuang went into the kitchen, and Luo Huai followed closely behind.

"Grandma, Brother Zhao seems very nervous when he sees someone with a high fever. He thinks a high fever means death. Why?" she asked, finally voicing the question that had been on her mind. "Has someone close to Brother Zhao died from a high fever?"

“It was him.” Grandma Kuang said while picking vegetables. “He didn’t die, but he almost did. When he was nine years old, our old house leaked when it rained. The day before, we were drying corn, and we dried too much. So we tore off half of the plastic film that was originally covering their blankets to cover the corn.”

“It started raining heavily in the middle of the night. He covered his younger brother with a plastic sheet and didn’t care about himself. When he woke up the next day, he found that he was soaked to the bone, and his forehead, body, hands and feet were burning hot.” ​​Grandma Kuang’s voice suddenly changed and became a little hoarse. “We didn’t have any money back then.”

“I carried him to find a doctor, but we didn’t have the money to register. We couldn’t register. And his brother…” Two tears fell into the sink where she was washing vegetables. Grandma Kuang wiped them away with her arm and continued, “His brother went to the pharmacy to ask about fever reducers. When he went to pay, he didn’t have enough money, so he took the medicine and ran away. Someone called the police, and he was arrested. An old policeman, after learning what happened, immediately took Yanzhao to the hospital. If it had been any later…”

"The doctor said that if it had been any later, Yanzhao would have died."

Luo Huai's eyes reddened without her noticing.

Tears welled up in my eyes like a fog.

She pursed her lips and said nothing, but as she lowered her head to crack eggs, tears streamed down her face, and her chest felt tight and uncomfortable.

Grandma Kuang continued, "I got the red string and copper coins for him, hoping he would be safe and sound."

“He exercises every day, and when it gets cold, he adds clothes to keep himself warm and hungry, and he won’t get sick. He’s been stubborn since he was a child, and he has a lot of energy. He said he would definitely take good care of himself and the two of us, and he would make a good life even if we were separated from our parents.”

“He did everything he said he would do.” Grandma Kuang smiled, her voice no longer hoarse. “Yanzhao knew about his background last year. He didn’t plan to go back, and we were selfish too. We didn’t want to go back. If we hadn’t gotten into trouble this year, he wouldn’t have gone back.”

"Fortunately, the Xing family still has you."

Luo Huai's tears gradually subsided, and upon hearing her grandmother's words, she paused in her action of cracking eggs.

She only had one brother, Zhao, in the Xing family.

It's a bit like in the Pei family, where she only has one Pei Yuanzhou.

But, it's different.

Luo Huai clearly sensed that they were different.

Suddenly, two shadows loomed over the kitchen doorway, and Xing Yanzhao took the bowl and egg beater from her hands.

Kuang Ye sighed and said to Grandma Kuang, "As soon as I saw you two weren't in the living room, I knew you were in the kitchen. Aunt Zhou is on her way to cook. Grandma, just enjoy your retirement."

Grandma Kuang looked impatient. "It's so boring to have nothing to do."

"Is it okay for you and your sister-in-law to watch TV and eat fruit at the same time?"

Xing Yanzhao looked up and gestured for Luo Huai to come over.

Luo Huai didn't move, just watched him crack the eggs.

"Do you like my hands?" Xing Yanzhao stopped what he was doing and opened his palm to show her.

As if possessed, Luo Huai raised his hand, and it hovered above his palm like a piece of white jade, about to fall but not quite.

The moment her fingertips lightly touched him, she heard the sound of a man's Adam's apple bobbing in her ear. She abruptly pulled her hand back and hurriedly turned to leave.

Xing Yanzhao moved his fingers.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get a date.

This was initiated by Luo Huai.

It's all my fault for not being able to resist making a noise.

He felt that the information Xiao Chen had collected was wrong, and that his dry mouth was wrong even if it wasn't during the girl's menstrual period.

Kuangye returned from the living room, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to wash the vegetables that were already soaking in water. He saw his brother cracking eggs with one hand and scooping vegetables with the other.

Is your right hand useless?

"Your sister-in-law just held my hand."

Kuang Ye's lips twitched, and he cursed, "What's wrong with you? If you're so capable, why don't you ever wash your hands?"

When Aunt Zhou arrived, Xing Yanzhao left the kitchen, too lazy to pay her any attention.

Aunt Zhou prepared a large table of dishes and stayed for lunch.

Every time Luo Huai thought about how she had actually tried to put her hand in Xing Yanzhao's palm in the kitchen, she felt embarrassed, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt flustered.

So much so that they didn't realize they were only picking at the food in front of them.

Kuangye couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, is it because you cracked the eggs and my brother scrambled them that you're only eating this dish?"

Luo Huai looked up: "Huh?"

Foolishly.

Awkward.

Grandma Kuang hit Kuang Ye on the head with a chopstick, scolding him for being stupid from studying too much, and then got up to get new chopsticks.

The wilderness was silent.

He still insisted, "Sister-in-law, if you like my brother's cooking, I'll have him cook for you next time. My brother's cooking is so-so, but his tomato and egg noodles are amazing."

Since the others weren't embarrassed, Luo Huai wasn't embarrassed either, and nodded.

Xing Yanzhao glanced at her and said, "Cook it. Cook it whenever you want to eat it."

Luo Huai nodded again, avoiding eye contact.

They're a married couple, yet they act like teenagers.

The warm moment didn't last long before the Xing family called, asking Xing Yanzhao to return home.

What good could come of going back at a time like this?

Xing Yanzhao asked Luo Huai to stay there, and Luo Huai looked up and said, "Together."

Although she was of low status and her voice carried little weight, as her grandmother said, at least Zhao Ge had her in the Xing family.

Xing Yanzhao saw that her gaze was firm, and she exuded a stubbornness that was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

Nod in agreement.

Some people arrived at the Xing family's house before them.

They are the Lin couple.
