"Once you're in the Zhou family, you're one of us. If you need anything, just ask. We're family, so don't stand on ceremony. If Jingming bullies you, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Shen Xian gently patted Su Xi's hand, just like she would treat her daughter.

Su Xi nodded. "He treats me very well and won't bully me."

"well."

Shen Xian smiled even more broadly.

The two sat chatting idly until night fell, when the sound of a servant calling for dinner came from downstairs, interrupting their conversation.

"Come on, Aunt Chen has made several of your favorite dishes. Go down and try them."

Shen Xian pulled Su Xi out of the bedroom, and when they went downstairs, they saw Zhou Jingming and his father sitting in the dining room waiting.

As soon as Su Xi came down, Zhou Jingming immediately stood up and personally pulled out a chair for his wife.

This made Shen Xian laugh, "See, I told you our son would settle down after getting married, wasn't I right?"

Mr. Zhou snorted, "I'm afraid it's just a passing fad."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xi'er and Ming'er are meant to be together forever." Shen Xian wouldn't allow anything to happen to them.

Now that they've registered their marriage, she's determined to cling to Su Xi as her daughter-in-law.

During the meal, Shen Xian kept putting food on Su Xi's plate and frequently gave Zhou Jingming meaningful glances, asking him to help peel shrimp.

That scoundrel actually listened and started hitting me.

Zhou's father also urged Su Xi to eat.

He even thoughtfully removed the fish bones from Shen Xian before daring to put them into his wife's bowl.

The family of four was enjoying themselves immensely, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

Su Xi ate the delicious food and looked at the harmonious family, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Since Su Rou was lost, she has not felt any warmth of home.

Su Rou enjoyed the love and affection of her family.

All she received were daily scoldings and punishments.

But Chen Xian was different from Zhou's father. He treated her like his own daughter. In the past, if he saw Li Xuemei punishing her, he would step in to speak up for her.

Buy her delicious food, clothes, and toys.

However, Su Rou burned all of these things on the very first day she returned.

The environment in the Su family was also oppressive. Li Xuemei and Su Jianguo seemed to be in love on the surface, but in reality, they were each doing their own thing and harboring their own ulterior motives.

Affection is just a facade.

In reality, the relationship had long been a complete mess.

After the meal, Shen Xian pulled Su Xi aside to talk, and the two seemed to have endless things to talk about, just like a biological mother and daughter.

Zhou Jingming sat on the sofa, staring blankly.

Zhou's father was reading the newspaper nearby.

Seeing his scoundrel son glaring at his wife, he pushed up his glasses and threatened, "Dare to glare at my wife? I'll kick you to death."

"Take your wife back to sleep, don't disturb my wedding night."

Zhou Jingming dodged the kick. His father had been a soldier when he was young and was very fast, but now that he was old, he was no match for him.

Zhou's father immediately backed down, saying, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."

He's quite old, and over the years he's given his all to his career, which has taken a toll on his health.

Shen Xian is more than ten years younger than him, and she is still in her late twenties, so she still has desires in that area.

Zhou's father couldn't satisfy her, and he could only go to bed with her after Shen Xian fell asleep each day.

He was afraid that if Shen Xian wanted it, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Embarrassing.

Zhou Jingming saw through his father's thoughts at a glance and said fearlessly, "Mom, Dad wants you to go back to your room."

Shen Xian glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late.

She had other plans, so she stopped bothering Su Xi and stood up, saying, "Your dad and I are going on a trip abroad tomorrow morning. We won't disturb your time together."

After saying that, she winked at Zhou's father and said, "Old Zhou, let's go upstairs."

Zhou's father glared fiercely at Zhou Jingming. If he weren't too old to have a second child, he would have strangled the bastard to death.

Intentionally exposing his weaknesses!

What should we do now?

Shen Xian went upstairs first, followed slowly by Zhou's father.

Zhou Jingming shouted, "Dad, if you don't work harder, Mom really will go out and keep a gigolo."

Father Zhou: "...You wretched child!"

...

Zhou Jingming carried Su Xi upstairs, placed her on the sofa, and prepared to kiss her.

He glanced at the phone, then turned off the screen and said to Su Xi, "Go take a shower first, and wait for me in bed."

As soon as he left, Su Xi sat on the sofa and stared at his back for a long time.

This man is really busy with his work.

It seems that every time he's with her, he's never seen idle.

I have no idea what he's been busy with.

Logically speaking, with Si Nan helping to manage the bar, he shouldn't need to do everything himself. Even if he has invested in other industries, as an investor, he can just sit back and collect the money; he shouldn't be this busy.

Su Xi was certain at a glance that this man definitely had a secret.

I don't know how things are going with Hua Qing.

Thinking of Hua Qing, Su Xi picked up her phone and made a call.

The call was connected, but no one answered.

Is he still drunk?

Or did something really happen between Si Nan?

It seems I'll have to ask Zhou Jingming what's going on when he comes over.

After sitting for a while, Su Xi got up and went to the bathroom.

My period is completely over today, so she can finally take a nice bath.

After entering and filling the tub with water, Su Xi took off her clothes and lay down inside. The warm water washed over her chest, making the tattoo on her chest appear and disappear.

Zhou Jingming walked in after finishing his phone call, only to see blurry shadows on the frosted glass.

The woman's features were not clearly visible.

He sat casually on the sofa, legs spread wide, eyes narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Xi soaked in the bathtub for twenty minutes before climbing out.

I was about to find a bath towel to wrap myself in, but after searching around, I couldn't find anything to cover myself with.

There was only a red box on the sink.

Curious, she walked over and opened it to take a look.

I was completely dumbfounded.

It turned out to be...

A set of sexy lingerie.

Black, as thin as a cicada's wing.

The fabric of that thong was smaller than the palm of her hand.

That man has really strange tastes.

I actually like this kind of style.

Su Xi held it up to her body and it looked so revealing that it was as if she wasn't wearing anything at all.

Is she going to wear this out so she can get out of bed tomorrow morning?

Outside, Zhou Jingming's voice came, "Xi'er, are you done?"
