Dinner was a pleasant and enjoyable meal.

Gu Yanyan was particularly concerned about Su Qingshi's work.

Lin Batian was generous and made no attempt to hide his praise for his daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Su has been working very hard and is very outstanding lately. She has done an excellent job in the company's business."

Su Qingshi didn't dare to flatter her, and said modestly, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. It's all thanks to the guidance of the seniors."

Lin Xun held her hand under the table and said, "You are really outstanding."

Su Qingshi glared at him.

Everyone laughed.

After dinner, everyone went about their own business.

Gu Ziyue went back to her room and called her mother.

Lin Xun took Su Qingshi for a walk in the manor.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Lin Xun gazed at the girl's flawless profile, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes.

Su Qingshi said calmly and softly, "It's not hard work, why are you saying all this?"

Lin Xun chuckled and said, "Isn't it hard work? Senior sister isn't even married yet, and she's already taking on the heavy responsibility of the Lin family. In principle, it shouldn't be like this."

Su Qingshi raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile: "What? You're not planning to marry me?"

Lin Xun quickly replied, "How could that be? I will marry no one but you in this lifetime."

As he spoke, he forcefully grabbed her chin and said in a domineering tone, "Woman, you will never escape my grasp in this lifetime."

"Pfft!"

As luck would have it, these words fell into the ears of the cleaning lady who was cleaning, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Young Master, you're so skilled!

Is this how young people play?

The two men froze, then both looked embarrassed.

"It's all your fault, why did you suddenly go crazy?" Su Qingshi complained.

Lin Xun had no choice but to obediently admit her mistake: "It's my fault, senior."

He was speechless. How strange, why was the cleaning lady here?

Isn't he dead?

Su Qingshi said casually, "By the way, we'll probably all be helping out at the company during this holiday."

Lin Xun nodded: "I know, my parents are going on their honeymoon."

After saying that, he ruffled her hair and said, "I'm sorry, senior, for keeping you so busy."

Su Qingshi suddenly leaned gently against his chest: "We are lovers, and we will spend the rest of our lives together. I think we should say sorry to each other less often, otherwise I will feel very unfamiliar with each other."

Lin Xun felt a warmth in his heart. He knew very well that this girl had long regarded him as an inseparable part of her.

He gently embraced her soft body and said softly, "Okay."

That night, Lin Xun and Su Qingshi shared a room.

The two were about to get intimate after taking a shower when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Lin Xun opened the door somewhat irritably and saw Gu Ziyue with an innocent look on her face.

What brings this young lady here?

Lin Xun had a bit of a headache: "Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here?"

Gu Ziyue stretched her fair neck to look into the room: "Where is my cousin-in-law?"

Lin Xun blocked her view with his tall frame and said expressionlessly, "Your cousin-in-law is asleep. Don't disturb her. Go back to sleep now."

Gu Ziyue was immediately displeased upon hearing this. She said angrily, "What? My cousin's wife hasn't slept at all! Cousin, move aside, I want to play with my cousin's wife. Besides, it's only nine o'clock. Why do young people sleep so early?"

Lin Xun's face darkened, and he was about to say something when Su Qingshi's voice came from behind him.

"Is that Ziyue? What's wrong?"

She appeared at the door wearing a conservative set of pajamas, looking at Gu Ziyue with a puzzled expression.

When the latter saw her, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

Is this my virtuous and loving cousin-in-law? So beautiful!

Gu Ziyue rarely sees a woman so beautiful without makeup. Even her sister Chiyan is slightly inferior!

and…

Gu Ziyue's gaze fell on Su Qingshi's neck and below, and she swallowed hard.

"My goodness, how did it grow like this?"

"Sister-in-law, how come you're so big?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun's face immediately darkened: "Gu Ziyue, what are you looking at?"

This girl is clearly a woman, why is she staring at his wife like a hungry wolf?

Su Qingshi was also a little embarrassed, a faint blush flashing across her face, but fortunately it was not noticeable in the dark.

Gu Ziyue shrank her neck and whispered, "It's just looking, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."

Besides, she's a girl, okay? Why is my cousin so angry?

However, she glanced at her own reflection and sighed inwardly.

I'm already 19 years old, so why do I still look so young?

If she had even a bit of her cousin's charm, the line of suitors would probably stretch all the way to the school gate, right?

My cousin is so lucky!

Seeing Gu Ziyue staring blankly, Lin Xun decided to ignore her and simply closed the door.

Gu Ziyue realized what was happening and quickly stopped them: "Hey! Cousin, you can't do this! I'm so bored, why don't you guys play games with me?"

"No time, we're tired and need to rest."

Having not seen his wife for several days, Lin Xun naturally wanted to be affectionate with her; how could he possibly play around with a little kid?

Gu Ziyue quickly looked at Su Qingshi and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister-in-law~"

Su Qingshi sighed inwardly, then asked, "What do you want to play?"

Gu Ziyue asked with delight, "How about we play Dou Dizhu?"

"Well…"

Su Qingshi thought the game she was talking about was an online game, but it turned out to be Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Lin Xun's lips twitched; he always felt that this cousin was a stumbling block on his path to love.

Su Qingshi was somewhat helpless, but seeing Gu Ziyue's expectant eyes, she nodded: "Okay, but we won't compete with money, let's just treat it as entertainment."

Gu Ziyue cheered immediately, then excitedly ran back to her room to get a deck of cards. The three of them went to the entertainment room and started shuffling the cards on the mahjong table.

"My aunt made me stay here. It's so boring. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't play," Gu Ziyue said while shuffling the cards.

Lin Xun watched this scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He couldn't help but gently tap her head and say helplessly, "You, I just can't do anything with you."

Gu Ziyue covered her head and looked at Su Qingshi with a wronged expression: "Sister-in-law, look, my cousin is bullying me."

Su Qingshi smiled gently and said, "Don't look at me, I can't help you."

Lin Xun looked at Gu Ziyue smugly, as if to say: See? This is your cousin's status in the family.

Gu Ziyue's eyes widened.

No, shouldn't my cousin be henpecked?

The three started playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). Although Gu Ziyue was young, she played the game with great skill, like a seasoned gambler. She was quick to read people's expressions and her thoughts were sharp.

She actually won the first two rounds.

The young couple, who had initially intended to just brush it off, suddenly became serious upon seeing this.

"Three against three!"

"Correct A!"

Lin Xun glared at Gu Ziyue: "So what if you have an A?

Gu Ziyue proudly waved the cards in her hand: "That's right, I'm amazing just because I have a pair of Aces."

She didn't seem to realize what she had said.

Instead, he felt like he had completely outshone his cousin.

Su Qingshi remained silent.

She suspected the two were driving, but had no proof.
