Before picking up Min Xi, Fu Yanzhou went to the trunk of the car to check the gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and after confirming that they were correct, he told the driver to go to Jiachen Public Relations.
The last time I had dinner with my parents-in-law was the day I got my marriage certificate.
His parents are busy, and Min Xi's parents are even busier.
He and Min Xi usually don't have to deal with the elders at home, and they fully respect his and Min Xi's ideas. This is the most comfortable thing about this marriage.
When he arrived at the Jiachen Public Relations Building, Min Xi was already waiting for him at the door. She was holding a tablet and looking at it without looking around.
"Xixi." The car drove over slowly, and Fu Yanzhou opened the window and called her.
Min Xi was reading the self-media account operated by Lu Zhen Studio. The content was indeed of high quality. She was reading it intently when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
She looked up suddenly and unexpectedly found that Fu Yanzhou had opened the car window. She walked over quickly and stuffed the tablet into her bag.
Min Xi blocked the car window with his body: "Close the window, otherwise my colleagues will see what you look like."
Fu Yanzhou: "...You and I are not having an affair."
"Go up first, and I'll tell you in detail later."
Fu Yanzhou closed the car window as instructed, and Min Xi got in from the other door.
"A colleague from the media department mentioned you during the meeting today." She began to explain before she even sat down.
"Mentioned me?"
"They said you were Lu Zhen's backer, and that they dated you, and that they were still on good terms after they broke up."
Min Xi put her bag next to him, with the tablet in the bag leaning against his legs, and continued: "I can't let the rumors continue, so I clarified that you two are good friends. Except for Yu Chengtan and Ju Youyou, my colleagues don't know that you are my husband. If they see you now, they will definitely think that I said that to save face and to save face. Then there will be all kinds of gossip in the company about the love triangle between the three of us and your obsession with your ex."
She hasn't figured out how to resolve this misunderstanding and rumor.
There doesn't seem to be a good solution.
People prefer sensational gossip and don't care much about the truth.
Min Xi added, "Recently, because of Shengshi Technology's press conference, I have to meet with the media department frequently, so let's not let them know that you are my husband."
I don't want to be the center of their attention.
After hearing this, Fu Yanzhou apologized and said, "I didn't handle it well."
Min Xi said all this not to blame him, nor did she mean to settle accounts with him: "It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Lu Zhen."
If her colleagues accidentally found out about her relationship with Fu Yanzhou one day, she would accept the rumors calmly.
Fu Yanzhou listened quietly with a calm expression, thinking about how to solve the problem.
She told her colleagues that he and Lu Zhen were good friends. So when dealing with this matter, she had to continue to maintain her friendship with Lu Zhen, but at the same time she had to make people believe that he and Lu Zhen were not boyfriend and girlfriend and had never been in a relationship.
He said, “I’ll take care of this.”
Min Xi was open-minded: "Let it be."
There is no solution to this problem. Even after clarification, those who don’t want to believe it will still not believe it.
As she spoke, she moved closer to him and lifted her left leg to put it on his leg as if nothing had happened.
Fu Yanzhou turned around and looked at her.
Min Xi deliberately ignored him and raised his head, pretending to look at the traffic light ahead.
Fu Yanzhou stared at her leisurely for a moment. She had said before that putting her legs on him made her feel comfortable and could also prevent varicose veins in the future.
The former is true, and the latter is probably just something she made up.
He patted her leg gently, "Put the other one up, too."
Min Xi couldn't believe it and looked at him suspiciously.
Fu Yanzhou said nothing, but stretched out his hand, pretending to catch her right leg which she had not yet put down.
Min Xi certainly wouldn't refuse Qiao, she put both legs on him openly: "If we quarrel again in the future, you don't have to buy me jewelry, I won't be angry if I put my legs on you."
Fu Yanzhou didn't understand what she was thinking. Buying her expensive jewelry wasn't treating her well; giving her liberty was treating her well.
This sitting position was quite uncomfortable for her, but she enjoyed it very much. She didn't take her legs off him until they reached the door of her home.
Min Xi looked out of the car window and saw that his brother's car was the only one in the parking space, and his father had not returned yet.
Min Jiangyuan stayed at home all day today and gave the driver a day off, allowing the driver to drive away.
He was in the kitchen and didn't hear the car coming into the yard.
The chef was busy cooking. He was busy preparing wonton noodles for his daughter, remembering to use less salt today.
The first thing Min Xi did when she got home was to change out of her work clothes. There was no one in the living room, so she told Fu Yanzhou to sit wherever he wanted and not to treat her as an outsider.
"I'll change my clothes and be right down."
She went upstairs to her room.
I met Min Ting in the corridor on the second floor. He came out of the study. He didn't go to the company in the afternoon and had just finished a video conference a few minutes ago.
"Brother, Fu Yanzhou is downstairs, you can chat with him for a while."
Now that her father is back, she is not worried about what big waves they can cause.
Min Xi closed the door.
Min Ting thought for a moment and turned back to his study.
Fu Yanzhou didn't know that his father-in-law was in the kitchen on the first floor. He poured himself a cup of water. He heard footsteps on the stairs. Thinking it was Min Xi changing clothes and coming downstairs, he turned around to look.
The person who came down was Min Ting, holding a cigarette and an ashtray in his hand.
It was not until Min Ting placed the ashtray on the side table next to him that Fu Yanzhou could see clearly how transparent and luxurious the ashtray was.
Min Ting threw a cigarette to him, pointed at the ashtray with a calm expression and said, "Quitting smoking is very effective, you should try it."
After saying that, he sat down and peeled fruit for his sister.
Fu Yanzhou sneered in his heart, thinking that he was not asking him to quit smoking out of kindness, but was just showing off his ashtray.
He clicked on Min Xi's dialog box: [Min Ting first showed off his ashtray. Do you think I should tell him that my ashtray is two hundred and one more expensive than his? 】
After editing, he was about to click send when he remembered that his father-in-law would be back today.
After calming down for a moment, he deleted a few lines of text.
Fu Yanzhou lit a cigarette, took only two or three puffs, and then put it out in the ashtray, his movements unconsciously gentle.
The ashtray is so beautiful that I can't bear to twist the cigarette hard.
"The ashtray is nice." He was praising Min Xi's taste in choosing gifts.
Min Ting raised his eyes calmly and said, "Yes, Xixi bought it."
At this time, Min Xi had just changed his clothes and was going downstairs when he heard Fu Yanzhou ask Min Ting: "How much is this ashtray?"
"Fu Yanzhou!"
Min Xi rushed over, pulled him up and pushed him out, "How childish! Go to the yard!"
Fu Yanzhou laughed: "Why don't you ask Min Ting what's going on."
Min Xi put his hands on his lower back and pushed him hard, "I'll settle the score with him later!"
In the kitchen, Min Jiangyuan heard the noise coming from the living room, walked out, and stood at the door, helpless but doting: "Xixi, what are you doing? Stop making trouble."
Not only Fu Yanzhou, but Min Xi was also stunned: "Dad, are you home?"
She moved quickly, changing from pushing to grabbing Fu Yanzhou's arm, and said to her father with a smile: "I was joking with him. I'm not chasing him away."
"Dad, we didn't have a fight. Min Ting and I were just teasing her." Fu Yanzhou had no choice but to explain.
Min Jiangyuan smiled gently: "You guys chat first, I'll make wonton noodles for you."
Fu Yanzhou wanted to go over to help, but Min Jiangyuan waved his hand and stopped him from entering the kitchen.
Min Ting peeled the fruit and called his sister over to eat.
Min Xi lowered his voice and questioned his brother: "What's going on? When did you become so childish?"
Min Ting glanced at Fu Yanzhou who was leaning against the bar in the distance drinking water, then retracted his gaze and said to his sister, "I just don't like him. When he cares enough about you, I might change my mind about him."
He handed her a wet towel to wipe her hands, and when she had done so, he took the towel and gave her the fruit.
Let her calm down: "Fu Yanzhou and I know our limits. No matter how we argue, we won't take our anger out on you. You don't have to feel awkward being caught between us."
He even said without principle: "You can sit on the fence anytime you want. No matter which side you lean towards, I will not hold you accountable. The blame will be on Fu Yanzhou."
Min Xi: “…”
Unable to communicate normally.
She took the fruit and went to the kitchen to find her father.
They can find trouble if they want, she can't always watch their every move.
"dad."
Min Xi walked over slowly.
Her father was wearing an apron and washing vegetables in front of the sink. In front of outsiders, he was serious. In her impression, her father had always been gentle and very patient with her.
Min Jiangyuan turned around and turned off the faucet. "There's smoke. Go outside to the living room."
"It's okay." Min Xi leaned beside him, eating fruit and chatting with his father.
We talked about mother.
She calls her mother almost every day, for calls that last from half an hour to one or two minutes.
When I talked to my mother on the phone at noon today and mentioned that my father was taking a day off today, she was obviously surprised. From her expression, I knew that my father did not visit her.
"Dad, why didn't you go and surprise Mom?"
Min Jiangyuan smiled and said, "There were a lot of trivial matters, so I didn't leave."
Min Xi had no doubts. In her opinion, her parents had always had a good relationship, but they were just too busy with work and were rarely together.
"You've been married for more than two months. How do you feel? Do you get along well with Fu Yanzhou?" Min Jiangyuan asked with concern.
Min Xi thought for a moment before replying, "Not bad."
There are still many areas that need to be adjusted, but it is finally a good start.
To Min Jiangyuan, the few seconds his daughter spent considering was just hesitation, and it seemed like she was just having an ordinary time.
"Before you got married, your brother and I advised you to marry someone who likes you and treats you well. Our family doesn't need to sacrifice your marriage for an arranged marriage, but you refused to listen. Your mother spoiled you too much. When you said you wanted an arranged marriage, she let you do it."
Min Xi comforted her father: "There's nothing wrong with an arranged marriage." Fu Yanzhou happened to be the person she had liked for many years. If she got into an arranged marriage, her brother's marriage would be relatively free, killing two birds with one stone.
"I'm getting along pretty well with Fu Yanzhou now. We'll develop feelings for each other over time."
Min Jiangyuan didn't respond. He is an experienced person and he knows that love has nothing to do with how long you have been together.
But he couldn't say this, as saying so would be like pouring cold water on her.
Dinner will be ready in more than an hour.
Min Ting poured three glasses of red wine and drank one glass with his father. Min Xi didn't drink any and ate the wonton noodles made by his father with relish.
"Is it salty this time?" Min Jiangyuan asked his daughter.
Min Xi nodded: "It's delicious."
Min Jiangyuan said with a smile: "I have been making wonton noodles every day these days, and your brother and I ate the ones that failed."
Min Ting put the peeled shrimps on the plate in front of his sister. Min Xi was used to it. When she was a child, her brother would peel the shrimps for her when she ate them.
As they ate and chatted, Min Jiangyuan put down his wine glass, picked out the fish bones and passed them to his daughter.
Fu Yanzhou took a sip of red wine and looked at his father-in-law and brother-in-law who were picking fish bones and peeling shrimp shells for Min Xi. He was the one with the least time, but he couldn't have all three of them pick up food for Min Xi.
He took the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised meat for his father-in-law: "Dad, please try it."
Min Jiangyuan said in a casual tone: "Okay."
He didn't say anything polite.
Fu Yanzhou glanced at Min Xi, and finally picked up a piece of meat and put it on her plate.
