After a brief acquaintance, Chu Qiao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but she was puzzled in her heart, why did Shang Fangyan and Shang Fangxu both have the surname Shang Fang, but Shang Fangyan's younger brother had the surname Shang?

However, no matter what their surnames were, Shang Fangyan could treat her like his real wife in front of his family so down-to-earth and generously, she really felt very good in her heart, very down-to-earth, very peaceful, this is a kind of home warmth that she has never had, even in Chu Meng's place, she has never felt the warmth of home.

At the dinner table, Shang Yu praised Chu Qiao's cooking skills, and Shang Fangxu swept away all the dishes she cooked, and there was not a single leaf left.

After dinner, Shang Fangyan and Shang Yu went into the study to talk about things, Shang Fangxu also entered his study, Chu Qiao brushed the bowl, made tea, and cut the fruit plate, but when she was ready and didn't know if she should bring it into the study, Shang Fangyan and Shang Yu walked out of the study.

"Big brother, you are so blessed, sister-in-law is not only good at cooking, but also the fruit bowl prepared is so beautiful." Shang Yu looked at the colorful fruit bowl in Chu Qiao's hand with an envious expression.

Shang Fangyan glanced at Chu Qiao, a smile appeared on his originally light face, but he didn't say anything.

Chu Qiao lowered his head and smiled, a trace of shame crept up on his face, "Then you sit down and eat some fruit first, and I'll go see Xiaoxu." ”

"No, I have to go, I have to go back to the old mansion tonight, my grandmother and mother are waiting for me at the old mansion." Shang Yu politely refused, and said, "Next time I come to my sister-in-law, prepare the same fruit plate for me." ”

Chu Qiao didn't say much, just smiled back politely, "Okay." ”

The marriage contract they signed made it very clear that the other party had no right to intervene in any private or family affairs unless he was willing to say it to the Lord.

However, this is obviously unfair, Shang Fangyan knows everything about Chu Qiao well, and Chu Qiao's understanding of Shang Fangyan is like a process of dripping stones, it must be boundless, but the validity period of the contract is only one year, where does she have a long time.

......

After sending Shang Yu away, Chu Qiao was about to send some fruit to Shang Fangxu, but was stopped by Shang Fangyan.

"Chu Qiao, sit with me."

Chu Qiao's footsteps stopped, this was the first time Shang Fangyan invited her to sit with him, this feeling was so strange, and his heart was numb.

"Okay."

Coming to the large living room balcony, Chu Qiao made a pot of weak tea for Shang Fangyan, and then sat down in the rattan chair opposite Shang Fangyan.

Shang Fangyan saw Chu Qiao sitting down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the tea was very light, but it was fragrant, it was very suitable for drinking at night, and after looking up at Chu Qiao, he said leisurely, "You must be curious if Shang Yu and I are brothers." ”

"It should be." Chu Qiao lowered his eyes and replied, and also took a sip of the teacup, the weather at the end of September is the best time, neither hot nor cold, the gusts of wind at night blow, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, but with a hint of mint freshness, Chu Qiao thought, this is one of the reasons why Shang Fangyan chose Oak Bay as their home, "It can be seen that you and Shang Yu have a good relationship, and Shang Yu respects you very much, and Xiao Xu also likes Shang Yu very much." ”

Shang Fangyan raised his lips, the wife he chose was indeed a smart and delicate woman, looking up at Chu Qiao, the breeze was blowing, raising her long hair, under the soft light, her eyebrows were beautiful, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and her eyes were clear and clear, like a pearl at night, scorching brilliance and trembling heartstrings.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Shang Fangyan asked, did he want to tell her something?

Chu Qiao raised her eyes, and her gaze crashed into Shang Fangyan's pupils that were deeper than the night, her eyes were as bright as diamonds, and she could see clearly that in those pupils, there were two little hers reflected.

Because of looking at it nakedly like this, Chu Qiao's cheeks blushed inexplicably, and he couldn't wait to retract his gaze.

"Why are you and Xiaoxu surnamed Shang Fang, and your own brother's surname is Shang."

Shang Fangyan smiled, this question will not be clear to anyone who is not from the Shang family.

"In the Shang family, only the eldest son of the long house is qualified to have the surname Shang Fang, and the other children can only have the surname Shang." Shang Fangyan looked at the light smoke rising from the teacup, and his eyebrows were suddenly dyed with a hint of heaviness, "The child surnamed Shang Fang was born to be the successor of the entire Shang family, with a superior status in the family, and has the power to say the same, whether it is an elder or a peer, he must be the only one." ”

Shang Fangyan took another sip of tea and added, "Of course, his power is not absolute, and there are times when he can't be the master. ”

Chu Qiao couldn't help frowning, raised his eyes to look at Shang Fangyan and asked without hesitation but firmly, "Just like you can't choose your wife as you like?" ”

Shang Fangyan looked at the stubbornness and sadness that suddenly overflowed between Chu Qiao's eyebrows, his heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a slight pain when he remembered the hundreds of pages of information he saw about Chu Qiao from childhood to adulthood.

But fortunately, at least he wasn't too late.

"I'm different." Even if he was distressed, Shang Fangyan's eyebrows were still light, allowing people to see any of his emotions, "Moreover, I'm trying to change some things." ”

Chu Qiao nodded, and asked no more, because she knew that she was just Shang Fangyan's contract wife, and Shang Fangyan could tell her this, which was already an extra trust and gift to her, and she didn't ask for more.

Seeing that Chu Qiao lowered his head and didn't speak, Shang Fangyan continued, "This Saturday, I will take you back to the Shang family's old mansion, and the family will be there at that time, so you should prepare well." ”

"Ahh

Chu Qiao was not happy in an instant, the last time Shang Fangxu took her to the Shang family's mansion, there were endless buildings, she really couldn't think of how many Shang family people lived in it, just seeing a Shang Fangyan's mother, she couldn't resist it, this time she wanted to see the entire Shang family, just their eyes could scrape her off with a thousand knives, not to mention others.

Moreover, I don't know if this old mansion and the big mansion are the same place.

Shang Fangyan couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, the expression on Chu Qiao's face was really rich.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chu Qiao inadvertently glanced at Shang Fangyan, who is afraid, even if you know that she is afraid, don't say it, okay? Otherwise, he will be despised by Shang Fangxu.

Shang Fangyan lowered his head and sipped his tea, smiling lightly.
