Luo Yu's unconventional ideas were unacceptable to the Luo family, and this century-long negotiation concerning the future of the Luo family completely collapsed. However, Luo's father still nodded in agreement to Luo Yu's third point.

There was nothing he could do; once Luo Yu decided to leave it alone, he couldn't force her to do anything about it, and in the end, he would be the one who ended up looking bad.

The Luo family also realized that all three conditions Luo Yu proposed were aimed at Luo Lao Er, and even the last one was to prevent the Luo family from coming to Luo Yu in the future.

To put it bluntly, the Luo family lost today's negotiations, a complete and utter defeat. Apart from promising to go home, Luo Yu didn't agree to anything else, and the second condition depends on her mood.

It was past nine o'clock at night when Luo Yu and Xi Beizhan left the Luo family home. They were both starving. Before leaving, Luo Yu glared at the Luo family gate with great dissatisfaction, which made Xi Beizhan laugh.

"Stop glaring. It's fine if you didn't get to eat anyway. I doubt you'd like their cooking."

Luo Yu turned her head and glared at Xi Beizhan, "It's my fault for not preparing food for us, even if I don't like it."

After talking for so long, all they offered was a cup of tea. How stingy!

Luo Yu muttered to herself as she sat in the back seat, reaching out to hug Xi Beizhan's waist. "Honey, let's go home quickly, I'm starving."

Xi Beizhan smiled and agreed, then rode home quickly.

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived home. As soon as they opened the door, Hei Dou pounced over, happily clinging to Luo Yu's legs and whimpering softly, but not too loudly to disturb the neighbors.

Luo Yu patted Hei Dou's big head and comforted him for a while before leading Hei Dou into the house, whereupon Hei Dou finally calmed down.

Xi Beizhan closed the door and saw hot water sitting on the stove lid. He filled the water with water for Luo Yu to wash her face and brought it into the house.

"You wash up, I'll go cook."

Luo Yu waved her hand, "You wash first today, I'll go cook, it'll be ready in a bit."

Xi Beizhan immediately thought of Luo Yu's Qiankun bag and nodded, "Then I'll take a break today. Thank you, my wife."

Luo Yu rolled her eyes at Xi Beizhan, "What a character!"

Luo Yu lifted the curtain and went out. Xi Beizhan didn't bother to wonder what Luo Yu was making for dinner. He lowered his head to wash his face and hands.

A moment later, a delicious aroma wafted from the outer room. Xi Beizhan took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Small wontons!"

Less than five minutes later, Luo Yu lifted the curtain and came in. "Go and bring it over. I'm starving. I'll wash my face first. You eat first."

When Xi Beizhan saw Luo Yu come in so quickly, his lips twitched, and he helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Honey, at least try to pretend!

You've only been here for five minutes. The stove hasn't even caught fire in such a short time, has it?

If there are no wontons at home, you have to make them on the spot, right?

Don't you knead the dough or the filling when making wontons?

Don't you need to boil water before making wontons?

A pot of water would take at least ten minutes to boil over high heat, right?

It all takes time!

His wife is completely unguarded with him now!

Should he be happy, or... cry?

Xi Beizhan took a deep breath and got up to serve the wontons.

After Xi Beizhan left, Luo Yu smiled and glanced at him before washing her face again.

Luo Yu ate two large bowls of the pot full of wontons, and Xi Beizhan ate the rest.

After finishing his meal, Luo Yu lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), patted his belly contentedly, and said, "We'll have meat pies for breakfast tomorrow."

Xi Beizhan paused as he was about to put the bowl down. "Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow morning."

Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively, "No need, you go exercise, I'll do it tomorrow morning."

Xi Beizhan's lips twitched.

You're really not hiding anything anymore!

Xi Beizhan nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll just wait to eat what's ready. My wife is so good to me, she cares about me and knows I've been craving meat these past few days, so she even made meat pies for me."

Luo Yu nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, I feel the most sorry for you."

Xi Beizhan couldn't bear to watch any longer. He washed the dishes, then brought out foot bath water, and the two of them soaked their feet together.

"Honey, about today..."

Xi Beizhan looked up at Luo Yu and said, "Wife, don't think too much. I'll take care of things from now on."

Luo Yu sighed, "Don't you think I'm heartless? They are my family after all, connected to me by blood."

Xi Beizhan also sighed.

If I didn't know your background, I would really think you were heartless. But you're not even a member of the Luo family, you're an outsider. What's wrong with doing this?

But...did my wife know from birth that she wasn't a true member of the Luo family?

Xi Beizhan glanced at Luo Yu curiously.

Forget it, don't ask anymore. Curiosity killed the cat.

It doesn't matter when his wife came into this world. She is now just his wife, his partner for life. As long as she doesn't do anything that harms the country, he will protect her for the rest of his life.

"They have never treated you as family, so why make things difficult for yourself?"

No matter how good you are to them, it's useless; they'll only take advantage of you and will never consider your feelings.

Just like your father, he talked for a long time and played the tai chi game, but in the end, his purpose was still for your younger brother and sister.

If you hadn't seen through it, you might have actually been manipulated by him and done something against your conscience for your younger siblings.

Luo Yu shook her head. "No, no matter how good the Luo family is to me, I will not do anything against my conscience for them. This is my bottom line as a human being."

Xi Beizhan looked at Luo Yu's face. In the dim light, Luo Yu's face seemed to glow, with a halo, both real and unreal, making it impossible to touch.

Xi Beizhan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch Luo Yu's face.

"daughter in law!"

Luo Yu felt a rough, large hand touch her cheek. She was momentarily stunned and looked up at Xi Beizhan.

"Wife, don't go."

Luo Yu was startled, looked up and grasped Xi Beizhan's large hand, "I'm not leaving."

Although the words weren't explicitly stated, Luo Yu knew that Xi Beizhan must have guessed something, otherwise he wouldn't have said "Don't go."

She's already married to him, where can she go?

The fact that he said he wouldn't let her leave meant he guessed that she was someone special. Coupled with her attitude towards the Luo family today, he probably suspected that she wasn't a real member of the Luo family.

But he didn't ask anything, he only begged her not to leave him.

Luo Yu smiled. If she didn't cherish this man who was so devoted to her, she wouldn't deserve happiness.

"What are you thinking? Where can I go? I still want to get healthy and give you a big son."

Xi Beizhan's mind returned instantly, and he smiled at Luo Yu, saying, "It would be even better if we had a daughter."

After saying that, he no longer cared that the two of them were still soaking their feet, and pounced on Luo Yu, pinning her down. His burning lips robbed Luo Yu of her sweetness.

Luo Yu embraced Xi Beizhan passionately, and the two kissed intensely, holding each other tightly as if they wanted to press each other into their bodies and never separate again.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars twinkle as they peek at all the beauty of the world. The dark clouds, carried by the wind, playfully block their view. In the blink of an eye, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and a light rain falls on the earth. The last rain of autumn suddenly begins to fall in the middle of the night.
