Chapter 39 Cold Water Shower Was a Waste of Time
Luo Huai?
Wasn't it Luo Huai who married his brother?
This girl is his sister-in-law!
He stood there dumbfounded for a moment in the wilderness.
“Brother Zhao.” Luo Huai came to Xing Yanzhao’s side.
Suddenly enlightened, he roared, "Old Shen, you damned cook!"
A burst of laughter came from the lobby downstairs.
As soon as they came downstairs in the open field, Lao Shen immediately retreated to the back kitchen.
Xing Yanzhao led Luo Huai away and asked her if she liked the food here. Luo Huai nodded, "The bamboo fungus stewed goose is delicious, and the soup is also very tasty."
"You like goose meat?" Xing Yanzhao was a little surprised. Bamboo fungus stewed goose is a relatively low-key dish at Zuixian Restaurant. It is not a local dish, and people who come here don't like to eat it.
Luo Huai nodded.
"Boss Lin, Brother Shen asked me to get you some goose oil, and also a gift from the boss's wife as an apology." The receptionist personally handed over the items, one of which was in a gift box and its contents were unknown.
Another one was in a large, transparent glass jar, filled with white goose fat and bits of goose meat and fat.
Xing Yanzhao reached out and took it, showing it to Luo Huai, "I like it too."
Luo Huai hadn't expected this either.
They even share the same love for food.
"Brother Zhao, do you like pickled plum braised goose? It's not a local dish from Ningcheng, but it's delicious with rice. My dad learned how to make it from the locals when he went to universities there for an exchange program."
Previously, Luo Huai would only remember to call out "Brother Zhao" after he had finished speaking, but this time he called out "Brother Zhao" first.
She even took the initiative to communicate with him.
Xing Yanzhao's usually fierce-looking features softened at this moment.
He said, "I've never eaten it."
Luo Huai's eyes lit up: "I know a restaurant that makes delicious braised goose with sour plum!"
Xing Yanzhao saw a smile finally appear on her face and asked, "Will you be happy after eating the pickled plum and goose?"
If we're happy, let's go get our marriage certificate.
Luo Huai would be happy to eat pickled plum and goose, but not today.
Newlyweds are not allowed to stay overnight at their parents' home after returning to their parents' home.
Dinner will be at the Xing family's house.
On the way, Luo Huai removed the apology gift: a black gold card with "Zang Dong Hui" written on it.
A top-tier private club in Ningcheng houses thousands of artworks and antiques, all from private collections.
"Old Shen is a great cook. The old man who runs the Canton Association likes him and gave him the food, but he doesn't have any artistic talent. His greatest artistic talent is in plating."
Luo Huai suddenly felt a burning sensation in his hand.
Seeing how carefully she held the card, Xing Yanzhao guessed that she thought it was valuable and said, "Take it, as a way of forgiving him for causing you to be misunderstood by Kuangye."
"Wilderness said you're a canary. I'll ask him to apologize to you another day, and I'll apologize too."
He reached out and shoved the card into Luo Huai's bag.
It's another case of forced buying and selling.
Luo Huai was somewhat amused and exasperated when she received a phone call. The caller asked, "Ms. Luo, are you sure you want to sell all this jewelry and this car?"
"Correct."
“I looked at these jewels. If I keep them, they can appreciate in value and be passed down through generations. If I sell them, they are not unique designs, not collectibles, so they won’t fetch a high price, or even the same price.”
“I know.” Luo Huai knew that the Pei family wouldn’t give her truly valuable jewelry as part of her dowry.
"The car won't be too different. If Miss Luo is determined to sell, I will help Miss Luo Huai put the jewelry on the second-hand market, and I will find a buyer for the car directly."
"it is good."
Luo Huai hung up the phone.
Xing Yanzhao glanced at her: "President Pei?"
Luo Huai was speechless for a moment, then chuckled, "No."
After a moment of silence, she added, "I blocked and deleted them."
Xing Yanzhao couldn't help but smile. When he returned to the Xing family and faced his biological parents' harsh scolding, saying that he had just disgraced the Xing family yesterday and had ruined the relationship between the Xing and Pei families today, he didn't get angry.
He only asked, "Are you done cursing? If you're done, I'm leaving."
at night.
He then lay straight down on the spacious sofa, marveling that he could finally stretch his legs out.
Luo Huai sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Did you get scolded again? Because we didn't go back to the Pei family."
"They spoke, but I didn't listen carefully, so I don't know if they cursed or not," Xing Yanzhao said casually, as if nothing was wrong.
Luo Huai breathed a sigh of relief, got up to take a shower, and didn't notice anything.
Once the water boils.
Cool to the core.
It's cold water.
She immediately closed the door, turned on the hot water, and turned to look at the bathroom door.
It's already November, and Brother Zhao is still taking cold showers?
When she came out after drying her hair, she was already asleep, with one arm draped over her eyes, seemingly to block out the light. The blanket she had pulled off to cover herself had fallen to the ground.
Luo Huai casually turned off the main light, leaving only a warm glow.
She walked over quietly, bent down to pick up the soft plaid blanket from the floor, gently dusted it off, and approached the sofa.
Luo Huai had just covered him halfway when the man's hand fell down, and at the same time he opened his eyes.
Suddenly meeting the man's deep eyes, Luo Huai's breath hitched slightly. She hurriedly straightened up, but her knees accidentally hit the edge of the sofa, causing her to fall forward.
She fell straight into the man's arms.
Warm and fragrant soft jade enters the arms.
Xing Yanzhao noticed something was wrong with his body.
"..."
The cold shower was a waste of time.
Luo Huai stood stiffly.
He hit the weapon again.
Her face flushed, and her eyes darted around, as if wondering if she was going to buy an inflatable doll.
She had heard it from Zhu Shuangshuang.
That's all I know.
Luo Huai remained motionless, calculating on his abacus. "Buy it."
What she can't do, an inflatable doll might be able to do.
We can't let people feel stifled.
As I was deep in thought, a suppressed and restrained reminder came to my ears: "Get up first, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Their breaths mingled as they spoke.
Their breaths mingled in the bedroom downstairs, where Xing Yanzhao and Pei Youyou were also sitting.
They became even more entangled.
"Youyou, Youyou... is it alright if you just kneel like this?"
"No... the floor is too hard, Zheng Yu, can you kneel on the bed or put a pillow under your knees?" Pei Youyou felt that her knees were rubbed raw.
Xing Zhengyu said, "Youyou, I'm busy right now. Just bear with it, just bear with it a little longer."
Just like he was in the Pei family.
They still had to kneel down.
He knelt at the Pei family's house for one minute today, but Pei Youyou would have to kneel for an hour.
He couldn't be satisfied without getting his revenge.
Xing Zhengyu's lips brushed against Pei Youyou's ear again, coaxing her patiently, "Is it okay? I like it this way, and you'll like it too."
Then he tied Pei Youyou's wrists with a tie.
Pei Youyou struggled at first, but later she sank into the sea and stopped resisting.
I was soaked through.
Xing Zhengyu laughed unrestrainedly, his voice seductive: "See, I told you you'd like it..."
……
Pei Youyou sat at the dining table, feeling sleepy and tired, but she didn't even yawn today. She smiled and called out to everyone to eat.
Yesterday, when she went back to her parents' home, she complained about how many rules the Xing family had. This morning, she really couldn't get up, and she was also afraid that Xing Yanzhao would get angry and hurt her.
I wanted to move out, but Zheng Yu didn't agree.
She was a little angry.
Her father said that it was one thing for her to be willful, but she shouldn't disregard the bigger picture.
Her mother explained to her that if Zhengyu moved out of the Xing family home at this time, the Xing family would respect Xing Yanzhao, and her parents-in-law and sister-in-law would gradually become closer to Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai.
Even close relatives become distant. If the Xing family falls into Xing Yanzhao's hands, what will happen to the young couple? Not only will she no longer be the second young mistress of the Xing family, but the Pei family will also lose face.
Her marriage to Xing Zhengyu meant that the Pei family had chosen to support Xing Zhengyu.
Her mother told her to be less willful, to think more about the bigger picture, and to leave a good impression on her parents-in-law and win over her sister-in-law.
Ideally, it would also be something that the old man and woman would like.
Pei Youyou was full of confidence; how could she not be likable?
She was pampered at home, had a bunch of followers at school, and was on good terms with all the rich young ladies in Ningcheng.
Just like my parents said, if all else fails, find an excuse to go back to your parents' home, where she can do whatever she wants.
Even though she only slept for three hours last night and her body ached, Pei Youyou was still very proud.
He was secretly pleased that the seat opposite him remained unoccupied for a long time.
Father Xing doesn't concern himself with household chores, but if someone breaks the rules, he'll look to Mother Xing.
Xing's mother's face was gloomy.
After breakfast, no one came down.
The husband and son have already gone to the company, but the two people upstairs are still nowhere to be seen.
Xing's mother told the maid to knock on the door.
Luo Huai suddenly woke up and heard the maid say ten o'clock, which startled him.
What's even more frightening is that there was someone next to her.
Xing Yanzhao's arm was lying across the pillow behind him.
