The sun rose in the east, golden light spilling across the earth.
"Mr. Chu, it's time to get up."
"Don't want to," Chu Fang mumbled, turning over. "Give me a hug."
Zhong Tingyue rolled her bright eyes: "Get up if you want, don't if you don't."
Since getting married, Chu Fang had changed a lot, becoming more childish and lazier. He used to get up early to cook, but now he couldn't even manage a normal wake-up time.
Men, truly born deceivers.
A moment later, Chu Jin burst into the bedroom, throwing herself onto Chu Fang, clinging to his ear, and shouting:
"Dad, the sun's burning your butt! I've been up since five!"
Chu Fang lazily opened his eyes: "Honey, it's the weekend."
He didn't understand why his daughter wasn't sleeping in on the weekend.
So energetic.
"It's finally the weekend, of course I have to get up early! I want to make the most of every second of my free time!" Chu Jin bounced on the bed.
Chu Fang: "..."
Other people rest on the weekends, but his daughter can't wait to make the most of it.
It's all because she has too little homework.
He got up lazily and went downstairs, sitting in the living room. The housekeeper brought breakfast: bread and milk.
Chu Fang said, "I don't want milk."
To accommodate the two children, breakfast at home was nutritious but didn't suit Chu Fang's taste.
"What does Mr. Chu want to eat?" the housekeeper asked.
"Ignore him," Zhong Tingyue said, walking past, bringing a gust of fragrant wind. "That's all there is in the morning. If you want something else, make it yourself. You're going to laze yourself to death."
"Bad woman, you're bullying my precious son again!" Chu's mother couldn't stand it and pointed at Zhong Tingyue.
"What if I bully him?" Zhong Tingyue retorted, her fair neck raised. "Look at your son, not doing anything serious all day, lazy and wanting someone to feed him."
Chu's mother didn't back down: "As his wife, can't you feed him?"
"I've fed him plenty!"
Chu Fang's lips twitched.
He stir-fried rice with eggs, the grains distinct, each one golden, full of appetite.
There was also the leftover garlic sprouts with pork from last night. Overnight, the flavors of the garlic sprouts, meat, and seasonings had more time to penetrate and blend, releasing a fragrant oil.
Fresh garlic sprouts have a relatively crisp and hard texture, but after being left overnight, the garlic sprouts would absorb the moisture from the meat juices and seasonings, making the fibers slightly softer.
Simply delicious.
He topped the egg-fried rice with the overnight garlic sprouts and ate in the sun, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of vegetables, and then a sip of AD calcium milk. This kind of life was better than being an emperor.
"Dad, you're secretly drinking my AD calcium milk again!" Chu Jin said with her hands on her hips.
"I didn't," Chu Fang explained. "I'm doing it openly."
Chu Jin snorted and turned to hide her AD calcium milk.
"Stealing a child's drink, Chu Fang, you're really something," Zhong Tingyue said, giving a thumbs up.
Chu Fang said shyly, "I'm not as good as you say."
Zhong Tingyue was already used to her husband's shamelessness. While combing her hair, she said, "What do you think about Yi Yi's matter?"
"I'm looking at it with my eyes." Noticing the contemptuous look from his wife, Chu Fang shrugged. "First, uncle and aunt are also thinking about Chu Yi, hoping she'll have a good life in the future; second, Chu Yi is no pushover and won't give up just because of a few words from uncle and aunt."
"Wait and see, there's more to this, there's a show to watch."
Zhong Tingyue: "You're Yi Yi's older brother, not worrying about Yi Yi's marriage and still thinking about watching the show. Are you even human, Chu Fang?"
Chu Fang tilted his neck: "I can temporarily be another animal for a few days."
To watch the show, he could wrong himself for a few days.
Zhong Tingyue combed her hair and then changed into casual clothes, a loose beige knitted sweater, the hem falling casually, paired with matching wide-leg pants, light and flowing.
Her slightly curled long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, her face was fair and beautiful, without makeup but her eyes were full of affection, her steps were leisurely, exuding a lazy and charming casual atmosphere.
Chu Fang slowly withdrew his gaze: "How did this woman grow up? She's getting more and more beautiful. Is Zhong Tingyue a monster in disguise?"
Chu Zhi also glanced at his old man and said, "Monsters are feudal superstition."
"You know everything."
Chu Fang retorted to his son, then put his hands behind his back and slowly went to the vegetable garden.
... ...
At noon, the sun was scorching, feeling warm on the body in winter.
Chu Yi drove Fei Jie to the villa area. After a security check, they were allowed to enter.
Fei Jie looked around, surrounded by beautiful and luxurious villas, obviously inhabited by wealthy residents. He felt uneasy.
"Relax, relax," Chu Yi said, driving while comforting her boyfriend. "Actually, my brother is easier to get along with than my parents, and he's more easygoing. Don't be too stressed."
"Okay."
Fei Jie nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to keep his mind stable.
But he couldn't calm down. His mind recalled the information Chu Yi had given him about her brother.
Chu Fang, nearly thirty years old, graduated from a 211 university, achieved financial freedom in college, owns a company worth about one billion, and countless fixed assets, villas, houses, cars, funds, stocks... ...
Chu Yi didn't know how much assets he had, but she guessed it should be over ten billion.
This information was like mountains pressing on Fei Jie's shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
Fei Jie considered himself very good, finishing his doctorate at twenty-three and staying at the school to work. Few people could achieve this.
This was why he was still confident when he met Qiao Zhenghong.
But after seeing Chu Fang's resume, Fei Jie realized that there were people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
He felt inferior.
"Don't worry," Chu Yi said. "If they don't agree, I'll just break up with them and we'll live our own lives."
It would have been better if Chu Yi hadn't said anything, but now Fei Jie felt even more pressure.
Soon, the car arrived at the villa. The villa door opened, and they went in. The two got out of the car.
As soon as they got out of the car, Chu Jin threw herself into Chu Yi's arms like a cannonball, raised her head, and said in a long voice, "Auntie, I miss you so much."
While speaking, she widened her clear eyes and looked at Fei Jie: "Is this my uncle-in-law? Hello, uncle-in-law."
Hearing this, Fei Jie was at a loss and quickly waved his hand, then handed the gifts he brought to Chu Jin, all snacks, Chu Jin's favorites, shrimp sticks, corn sticks, small cakes, jelly pudding, beef jerky... ...
Chu Jin's eyes narrowed into slits, and she patted her chest: "Uncle-in-law, I agree to your marriage."
Chu Zhi rolled his eyes.
Glutton!
Zhong Tingyue walked over, and Chu Yi immediately took her arm: "Sister-in-law, I miss you so much."
"Missing me and not coming to see me."
"I'm here now."
Zhong Tingyue poked the little aunt's forehead: "You have ulterior motives."
"No way~~~" Chu Yi said coquettishly.
This was Chu Yi's sister-in-law, indeed generous and with temperament, extraordinary, Fei Jie thought to himself.
He had heard his girlfriend say that her sister-in-law was beautiful, generous, dignified, and elegant. Seeing her today, she was more elegant than expected.
"Aren't you going to greet her?" Chu Yi said to her boyfriend.
"Oh, okay, Sister-in-law," Fei Jie came back to his senses.
"Are you calling everyone sister-in-law?" Chu Yi's face flushed red.
Fei Jie immediately realized that he had made a mistake in address and quickly corrected himself: "Sis... ...Zhong Tingyue... ...Sister Zhong, hello."
Finally getting the address right, Fei Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, don't mind, he's just like this, dull and silly," Chu Yi explained.
Zhong Tingyue smiled brightly: "Better than your brother."
"Where's my brother?" Chu Yi looked around, not seeing Chu Fang's figure.
"Vegetable garden."
"I'll take him to meet my brother."
