“What could she possibly be up to?” Pan Qin sneered, “She’s a great beauty, after all. Naturally, there will be someone to see her home when she’s drunk.” Pan Qin walked up to Zhou Yang and whispered something in his ear. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yang’s eyes darkened, and the knuckles of his hand holding the wine glass turned slightly pale. She had actually... really gotten together with Lu Qichen. The more Zhou Yang thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. He had once thought she was truly untainted by the world, but now it appeared that she simply found him not wealthy enough. Ye Zhiqiu didn’t know what happened after she left. She had drunk too much and started to doze off as soon as she got into the car. Although she couldn’t hold her drink, her tolerance was decent; she didn’t make a fool of herself but simply slept peacefully. When they arrived at Jingyuan, she was still asleep. Lu Qichen sighed, got out of the car, and carried her upstairs quietly. He had wanted to rush out when he saw Ye Zhiqiu being aggrieved at the restaurant, but this girl seemed completely indifferent. When she woke up, it was already the next morning, and her clothes had been changed into comfortable pajamas. She remembered that there were no servants at her home, so these clothes... To be honest, Ye Zhiqiu was grateful to Lu Qichen for taking her away from there. She had long wanted to leave and just hadn’t found an excuse to do so. “Are you up?”

Sitting on the bed and lost in thought, the room was suddenly filled with Lu Qichen's voice. He had originally thought that Ye Zhiqiu had a good tolerance for alcohol, but who knew that as soon as she got home, she started to act wildly from the drink, not only vomiting all over the place but also insisting on chatting with him, talking about everything under the sun, until she finally leaned over and vomited in his arms. Lu Qichen was both annoyed and amused, but he still silently carried her to the bathroom to clean her up, changed her into comfortable pajamas, and after she fell into a deep sleep on the bed, he cleaned up the house. He couldn't help but regret, why did he let the housekeeper leave? 'You... why are you here?' Ye Zhiqiu was startled. She knew that most likely it was Lu Qichen who had changed her clothes, and seeing him again inevitably brought some embarrassment. Lu Qichen hadn't left at all last night; he had nestled on the sofa all night, watching Ye Zhiqiu wake up. She first looked at her own clothes, then sulked in frustration for a while, and then sat on the bed lost in thought again. He simply couldn't stand it any longer and finally spoke up to interrupt her. 'You were stirring around all night, get up quickly, and go make breakfast for me,' Lu Qichen ordered. Lu Qichen went to take a shower, and when he came out, Ye Zhiqiu had already made breakfast. Due to the tight schedule, she had just boiled some dumplings and called Lu Qichen over to eat. 'There wasn't time to make anything else, just make do with this,' Ye Zhiqiu said with an embarrassed smile, 'Last night... I didn't do anything embarrassing, did I?' 'What do you think?'

Lu Qichen tossed out an ambiguous remark, took a bite of the dumpling, and as if recalling something, he slightly lifted his eyes and said, 'If you don't want to go to that company of yours, then don't. Come work at mine.' 'Ah?' Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback for a moment. Was this an invitation? 'It just so happens we're short of a Planning Director position at the company. If you're willing to come, you're always welcome,' Lu Qichen said indifferently, as if he were just mentioning a trivial matter. Hearing the words 'Planning Director,' the light in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes dimmed. She then realized why Lu Qichen had made such a suggestion; he was worried she might be mistreated at Yunman. 'Thank you, but... I don't need to for now.' No matter how Zhou Yang treated her, after all, it was a place where she had spent three years, and it would be false to say she had no feelings for it. 'Remember, you're my wife, Lu Qichen's wife. No one can make you feel wronged, except me,' Lu Qichen's domineering words entered her ears, damnably overbearing, yet also damnably heartwarming. Ye Zhiqiu lowered her head and responded in a muffled voice. 'Eat up quickly, then go change your clothes after you finish. We're going to the airport to pick someone up.'

Lu Qichen spoke indifferently. Ye Zhiqiu then remembered what Lu Qichen had reminded her yesterday. After marrying Lu Qichen, she had not seen Old Master Lu at all. She had heard that he went out for a trip. Could it be that the person they were going to pick up was Old Master Lu? Having managed to deal with Lu Qichen, Ye Zhiqiu felt a bit apprehensive upon hearing that Old Master Lu was returning. After all, she was not the real Gu Yanfei and there was always the possibility of exposure. Ye Zhiqiu mustered her courage and went upstairs to change into a goose-yellow dress. Her black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, revealing her clear and beautiful collarbone, perfectly setting off her slender legs. Her gold sandals were simple and elegant. On the way to the airport, Ye Zhiqiu was silent. Lu Qichen glanced at her and asked, 'What's wrong? Are you nervous?' 'Yes,' Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly. It was her first time meeting her in-laws, and it would be false to say she wasn't nervous. 'Your grandfather...' 'He is your grandfather now,' Lu Qichen said indifferently. 'Don't be nervous. He is very amiable and not as terrifying as you think.' 'Then...' Ye Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment and said, 'I heard that Grandpa's health is not very good. The oil fumes from outside food are too strong and not suitable for the elderly. After we pick him up, you can accompany him back. I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables, and we can have dinner at home tonight, okay?' 'Alright,' Lu Qichen's lips curled into a smile. He was becoming more and more doubtful about Ye Zhiqiu's identity. Old Master Lu returned with Lu Liao. From a distance, Lu Liao saw Lu Qichen and Ye Zhiqiu at the exit and ran over to cling to Lu Qichen, 'Brother, did you miss me?'

“Girl, come down from there,” Lu Qichen said indulgently, looking at Lu Liao in his arms. “Your sister-in-law is here, what does this look like?” Lu Liao then realized that Lu Qichen was already married, stuck out her tongue, and awkwardly slid off Lu Qichen’s body, smiling at Ye Zhiqiu in front of her. “Sister-in-law, don’t mind me, I’m just used to being casual with my brother.” “It’s okay,” Ye Zhiqiu stood aside, smiling serenely. To be honest, she really envied the good relationship within Lu Qichen’s family. “Grandpa, let me help you,” Ye Zhiqiu took the luggage from Old Master Lu’s hands. Old Master Lu looked at Ye Zhiqiu in front of him with satisfaction, her graceful and composed demeanor won his heart. “Let me do it,” just as Ye Zhiqiu took the luggage from Old Master Lu, Lu Qichen took over the luggage, wrapping one arm around Ye Zhiqiu’s waist. The affectionate scene fell into the eyes of the old master and Lu Liao, both of them exchanged smiles. Lu Qichen had been drifting for so long, and finally settled down. “Lu Liao,” Old Master Lu asked with a smile, “What do you think of your sister-in-law?” “Anyway, I like her a lot.” Whether it was her appearance, temperament, or even her manners, she seemed like what a young lady of a wealthy family should be like, “Since brother has married her, he must treat her well, otherwise I will not agree first.” Old Master Lu nodded, “I think she’s quite good, anyway, much better than that Bai Rongrong.” “Grandpa,” Lu Liao frowned slightly, “Why bring up that woman for no reason?” “Alright, alright, I won’t mention her.”

"Luo Liao and Old Master Lu are both not fond of Bai Rongrong. Seeing Lu Qichen's willingness to fulfill Ye Zhiqiu's requests, their hearts finally settled down. 'What are you doing?' Ye Zhiqiu was not used to Lu Qichen holding her and asked in a low voice. Lu Qichen kept his eyes straight ahead, 'Don't forget our agreement.' With the agreement brought up, Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to endure it."
