After Su Qiao finished tidying up, she saw Nan Zhiyi sitting in the main room, chatting with Su Ming.

"Why did you come today? You didn't even tell us so we could have picked you up."

Lu Xiangze stood to the side and called out, "Brother-in-law."

This startled Su Ming.

I almost jumped off the stool.

"Come on, let's talk." With that, she pulled Lu Xiangze out.

Neither Su Qiao nor Nan Zhiyi stopped them.

Because she was even more curious about Nan Zhiyi's identity.

By this point in the book, the Su family had long since passed away, so they would have no idea who Su Ming's wife was.

So Su Qiao was quite curious about Nan Zhiyi.

Nan Zhiyi allowed Su Qiao to look her over without any hesitation.

"How did you and my brother meet? Why did you fall for him?"

It's not that Su Qiao wants to belittle her brother; it's just that sometimes, Su Ming is frighteningly naive.

They are completely clueless about relationships.

Nan Zhiyi has a mature and sophisticated air about her, and if she were to wear a dress, she would exude an even stronger aura.

What exactly does he see in Su Ming?

Su Qiao was genuinely curious.

If Su Ming knew, she'd probably retort too. We're evenly matched.

Nan Zhiyi was amused by Su Qiao's appearance.

These two siblings really look alike.

That's how Su Ming initially described Su Qiao.

"Putting everything else aside, he's a good person."

Seeing the smile on Nan Zhiyi's face, Su Qiao was immediately relieved.

It seems she really likes her brother.

Nan Zhiyi wanted to befriend Su Qiao, and the two naturally chatted enthusiastically.

Su Qiao heard many stories about the two of them.

Nan Zhiyi was introduced to him by his brother's boss.

The two hit it off immediately, and many hilarious things happened afterward.

This time, Su Ming actually wanted to bring her back so that her younger sister could see her.

Su Qiao felt that this cheerful and generous sister-in-law was very much to her liking.

So when Su Ming and Lu Xiangze returned, the two were already as close as one person.

Su Qiao recounted many interesting stories that happened in her daily life.

Nan Zhiyi laughed so hard she slapped her thigh.

It's nothing like her poetic name.

Su Ming was stunned, her cheeks flushed.

It seems that her younger sister and she get along quite well.

Look, the two of them are back.

Su Qiao looked closely at Lu Xiangze's face.

I found nothing wrong and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Ming saw that her younger sister immediately looked at her boyfriend with concern, she felt extremely stifled.

Nan Zhi had an opinion; she found Su Ming's jealous expression quite unusual.

Go over and stand next to him immediately.

"You jealous jerk, haven't I seen you for a while and you're already getting jealous again?"

Nan Zhiyi's voice immediately pulled Su Ming back to her senses.

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I didn't."

Su Qiao moved closer to Su Ming, turned her head, and pretended to be fierce.

"How could you treat my brother like this? I'm punishing you by making you cook for us right now!"

"good."

Lu Xiangze obediently listened to him.

Su Ming was satisfied.

Su Qiao then slipped into the kitchen when the two weren't looking.

"Thank you for your hard work today."

Lu Xiangze, unusually, did not smile.

Su Qiao stood beside the stove, tilting her head to look at him, trying to see if he was really angry.

"Lu Xiangze? Are you angry?"

Lu Xiangze remained silent, quietly washing and chopping the vegetables.

"Don't stay silent!"

Su Qiao immediately unleashed her ultimate move.

While he was washing vegetables, she hugged him from behind around the waist.

Sure enough, he stopped moving.

Lu Xiangze put down the dishes in his hand, turned around, bent down slightly, and met Su Qiao's eyes.

“We got our marriage certificate. You said you'd give it a try with me.”

“Yes.” Su Qiao was completely unaware of where the problem lay.

Lu Xiangze sighed silently, knowing he had no choice but to speak plainly.

"We're married now, so shouldn't you change how you address me?"

So that's what it is.

Su Qiao pretended to suddenly realize something.

"What do you want me to call you? Lu Lu, Xiang Ze? Ze Ze?"

The following titles lingered on Su Qiao's tongue.

Su Qiao felt herself tremble.

Lu Xiangze smiled.

He also wrapped his arms around her waist, saying, "There are other names for her."

Su Qiao thought about it carefully.

He glanced around, wondering how everyone else addressed their partners.

"My husband?"

Lu Xiangze wished he could just shove the word "husband" into Su Qiao's mouth.

Looking up, I saw Su Qiao's sly gaze and wanted to have a good chat with her.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of two heads at the kitchen doorway.

He could only lean down and whisper in Su Qiao's ear, "Wife, it's okay, I'll discuss this issue of address with you later."

He became much more serious at the end.

"You go out first and talk to your older brother and the others. Just go out and wait for me, don't get smoked by the cooking fumes."

Su Qiao was about to say something when Lu Xiangze glanced toward the door.

Su Qiao immediately turned her head.

Then I saw two faces intently watching the melon.

When Su Qiao looked over, the two of them covered their eyes with their hands and silently looked away.

To cover one's ears while stealing a bell.

Su Qiao: ...

Without saying anything more, he immediately ran out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing Su Qiao, Su Ming scratched her head awkwardly and put her hand on Nan Zhiyi's shoulder.

Pointing to a cloud in the sky.

"Those clouds are so beautiful."

Nan Zhiyi suppressed a laugh.

"Su! Ming!"

"Eh—"

"You were eavesdropping?"

The brother and sister laughed and joked for a while.

Lu Xiangze had also prepared the meal.

Originally, Su Qiao planned to pick up her mother herself with Lu Xiangze the next day.

Now that Su Ming is here, it's more convenient for him to go.

Su Qiao can also prepare some things in advance.

The day after tomorrow is the day Lu Xiangze secretly arranged to host a dinner party.

They still need to buy some meat.

There's no meat in her space.

That night, Su Qiao slept with Nan Zhiyi.

Because of this interruption, Su Qiao felt that her nervousness about getting married had eased a lot.

There's no need to worry about what to do tonight.

Su Qiao's situation was settled, but Su Ming was dissatisfied.

It's really hard to stand the sight of your own brother marrying your own sister.

Before going to bed, Su Ming didn't forget to say some harsh words to Lu Xiangze.

"If you're not good to my sister, then you just wait! Humph!"

Lu Xiangze could understand his brother's feelings very well.

He nodded in agreement.

The next day, at the train station.

The train arrived around noon.

Xu Mingyue got off the car carrying a bundle.

He looked around and immediately spotted his eldest son.

A woman in military uniform was standing next to him.

Xu Mingyue was puzzled. Had she gotten off at the wrong stop? Why was she seeing her eldest son?

Su Ming saw her at that moment.

"mom!"

"Eh."

Su Ming and Nan Zhiyi both ran towards Xu Mingyue.

Su Ming took the bundle from him.

Nan Zhiyi stood beside him and tugged at Su Ming's sleeve.

He then realized what was happening.

"This is Nan Zhiyi, she is...my girlfriend." The last two words were spoken in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

But Xu Mingyue heard everything clearly.

Hello, Auntie.

Xu Mingyue was very satisfied to see that Nan Zhiyi was a good child.

He reached out to Nan Zhiyi.

He took Nan Zhiyi's hand.

Here, the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a friendly meeting.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiangze and Su Qiao also returned home carrying large and small bags.

However, when the two returned home, Su Qiao noticed that something seemed off about the door latch.

The two looked at each other, feeling as if they had finally arrived.
