In the past, Xu Susu would have used the excuse of keeping a slim figure and would not have accompanied her sister for midnight snacks, but tonight she decided to go all out.

If she didn't eat with them and act as a light bulb, who knows how long her sister and brother Zhiyuan would finish eating?

If two people talk about love, they might talk until dawn.

Susu has to go out again tonight.

I can only apologize to my sister and be a light bulb for once.

Sure enough, with Xu Susu present, Mu Zhiyuan and Xu Chu talked about business matters, and the two occasionally exchanged glances to express their feelings for each other.

"Susu, don't eat too much. You won't be able to sleep later. You'll have to walk around the yard a few times."

Xu Chu knew very well that her sister would not be able to sleep after eating. Seeing that her sister had a big appetite tonight, she reminded her with concern.

Then he asked, "Didn't you have dinner?"

Normally, her younger sister wouldn't accompany her for midnight snacks.

She has a heavy workload and consumes a lot of physical energy. She will definitely have a midnight snack when she comes home at night, but she can still maintain a slim figure. There is a gym at home, so Xu Chu works out every day.

Her younger sister is gentle and kind, always giving people a feeling of being weak and vulnerable to any breeze. Xu Chu doesn't ask her younger sister to work out in the gym with her, but she doesn't agree with her younger sister eating less to maintain her figure.

"No, I had dinner too, but I didn't enjoy it much because I was alone. I didn't eat much."

After hearing this, Xu Chu felt guilty and thought that he had neglected his sister recently. He had not come back to have dinner with his sister for a long time.

"Sister, you don't have to feel guilty. You are the pillar of our Xu family. With you around, I can live a stable life. We are both daughters of the Xu family, but I can't help you at all. I should be the one feeling guilty."

Xu Susu knew her sister very well. If she said that, her sister would definitely blame herself, so she quickly made up for it.

Thinking that he was too busy to find time to come back and accompany his sister every day, Xu Chu had no choice but to say, "If you feel that eating alone is not enjoyable in the future, you can go find your friends and ask them to come out for dinner together."

"Apart from Yang Xi and the others, I haven't made many friends. Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When I'm bored, I paint or go to Yang Xi's shop."

Xu Chu hummed.

She was very happy for her sister who made friends with Mu Qing and Yang Xi. Both Mu Qing and Yang Xi valued friendship very much.

Mu Qing is her future sister-in-law, and Xu Chu also hopes that his sister can become good friends with her future sister-in-law.

"You've helped your sister a lot, so don't say those things again."

Whenever she needs to conduct an investigation, her sister can help her, and the results are quick and accurate.

Xu Chu asked his sister, and she only said that it was her college classmate who helped her. She didn't say much else, saying that the other party needed to keep it confidential for safety reasons. Xu Chu didn't ask any more questions.

After having supper, Xu Chu looked at the time and reluctantly urged Mu Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, it's very late, you should go back and rest."

Mu Zhiyuan also looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock without him realizing it.

Time flies by so fast.

He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'll come and take you back to the company tomorrow."

"It's too far. Stop running."

Xu Chu escorted Mu Zhiyuan out of the house and said as he walked, "Sleep a little longer and get some rest. I'll be happier than if you came to take me to work."

"It's okay. I'm looking for a house. I want one that's closer to your home so I can pick you up and drop you off at work every day."

Mu Zhiyuan emphasized again: "I am your boyfriend."

Xu Chu smiled and said, "Okay. Are you going to change houses? Rent or buy?"

"Let's rent it first. As for buying, I'd like to wait until we're settled before deciding to buy. Buy what you like, and you can decide on the decoration style."

Mu Zhiyuan has always rented a house in the center of City A. His previous rented house was not far from his sister's store, so it was convenient for him to come and see his sister and help her.

Now that his sister has returned to Wangcheng and has the flower-guarding messenger Ye Junbo by her side, she no longer needs him as her elder brother.

Mu Zhiyuan still felt sad.

He had watched his younger sister grow up, and before he had enough love for her, someone else was already doing it for him.

Ye Junbo is the Big Bad Wolf, cunning as hell, and he became his brother-in-law without a word.

Recalling that when he first heard the news of Ye Junbo's sudden marriage from Chu Yi, he looked like he was just looking for trouble and called Ye Junbo, saying that they had to reserve a place for him in the groomsmen group, Mu Zhiyuan wanted to beat Ye Junbo up.

Recognizing Ye Junbo is one thing.

Still remembering that Ye Junbo had quietly kidnapped his sister was another matter.

"I'll help you ask if there are any good houses for rent nearby."

"good."

The two of them walked while talking.

Xu Chu walked Mu Zhiyuan to his car before stopping.

Mu Zhiyuan reluctantly helped her straighten her suit jacket, then turned her face and stroked it with his fingers. He said gently, "Go to bed early."

Xu Chu grabbed his hand, pulled it down, and brought it to her lips. She kissed the back of his hand, trying to make her voice as gentle as possible: "You too. Be careful on the road, don't drive too fast, and send me a message when you get home."

"Okay. But can you kiss me somewhere else?"

Mu Zhiyuan smacked his lips, the meaning was very clear.

Xu Chu smiled, and she put her arms around his neck and kissed him actively.

After a kiss, Xu Chu helped him open the car door.

Mu Zhiyuan was reluctant to leave, "Let's not be busy until late at night in the future, otherwise we will have less time to be alone."

"We have a lifetime."

Xu Chu's words made Mu Zhiyuan stop complaining.

Yes, they have a lifetime!

Xu Chu said this, which was equivalent to promising to marry him.

Mu Zhiyuan's heart was flying.

Now he finally understood Ye Junbo and Ouyang Yu. A man who is nourished by love is just different.

No matter how reluctant he was, Mu Zhiyuan still drove away from the Xu family villa with Xu Chu watching him.

He respects Xu Chu, and Xu Chu also respects herself. Neither of them will do anything inappropriate before marriage. No matter how late it is, Xu Chu will not ask him to stay overnight at the Xu family's house.

Only when Mu Zhiyuan's car disappeared did Xu Chu turn around and go back into the house.

When she entered the room, she saw her sister leaning on the sofa fishing (dozing off). She walked over and said jokingly, "Susu, if you're sleepy, go back to your room and rest. I'm back now, so you don't have to wait for me anymore."

Susu opened her eyes, rubbed them childishly, and asked, "Sister, Brother Zhiyuan has gone back."

"Well, let's go back. Go upstairs and rest. Don't wait for me anymore."

"I have to wait. My sister is so busy. I can only see her if I get up early and go to bed late."

Susu stood up and affectionately took her sister's arm. The two sisters went upstairs together. She also acted coquettishly to dilute her sister's guilt. Only then did she go back to her room contentedly.
