"Brother-in-law, you too, why did you only appear now, we have been worrying about finding a suitable partner for my aunt!"

"I'm afraid that my husband is too handsome and will flash into your eyes!" The aunt pulled Xiong Tian's arm and smiled.

Xiong Tian's Chinese level is very good, and he can naturally understand everyone's conversation.

"Your family is very good-looking, I'm honest." He spoke in a serious Chinese dialect that was not standard.

Even Zhan Zongming, who had always been serious, was amused by the way Xiong Tian spoke.

The family greeted each other and went to the house in a huddle, passing by the garden path, and saw the peony that had passed the flowering period with yellowing leaves, listlessly scattered on the ground, which was desolate.

No matter how glamorous the exhibition family looks on the surface, after losing the hostess, it is more like an empty shell that has lost its soul, which makes people not only sigh.

The family photo hanging on the closet in the living room made the smile on my aunt's face instantly put away.

"It's a pity that my sister couldn't wait until today." She raised her head sadly and looked at her sister, who was smiling as much as possible in the family photo, but also emaciated and showing sickness.

So the atmosphere suddenly became a little sad, and everyone fell silent.

"Madame has a spirit in the sky, and she will bless the family with peace and health."

After a while, Sister-in-law Chen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said with emotion.

"Alright, alright, dinner is ready, let's hurry up and take a seat!" Ge Yi saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he immediately took out the appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, and gathered everyone to sit down for dinner.

Such a formal meal is rare in the Zhan family, so the two children were taken to the room by Sister Lan and Sister-in-law Chen to play.

At the dining table, Zhan Zongming rarely took out the red wine that had been treasured for decades and gave it to everyone to taste.

"It's rare for the whole family to be there, so today I'll taste the wine bar that I have treasured for 30 years." As he said this, he smiled, but his eyes kept looking at the empty seat next to him.

This is the rule in the family, since the death of his wife, every time he eats, he will reserve a place for her to sit before her death, and place dishes and chopsticks.

Today, Zhan Zongming also put a glass of red wine in his wife's position.

"Your mother and I made it in the vineyard with our own hands, and there were only two bottles in total, and that one bottle was ...... I was buried in her grave......"

Cheng Ruoke looked at his father-in-law, who was obviously much older, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

A hand grabbed her palm from under the table, the warm temperature, the heavy palm, is Zhan Leyan.

She turned her head to look at him, his face expressionless, but his palm gently shook hers.

"Dad, it's the first time my sister-in-law is here, let's ...... Let's have some fun! Zhan Yiyang interrupted this sad remembrance at the right time.

"Yes, look at me, I'm confused, your name is Xiong Tian, right, I heard that you are a fashion designer?" Zhan Zongming recovered from his sadness and raised his glass to talk to Xiong Tian.

"Yes, brother-in-law, my name is Xiong Tian and I am a tailor." Xiong Tian also raised his glass, and the two gently touched the glass, and then drank.

"Yes, Meiling, this child, has been by my side with her sister for so many years, I have always regarded her as my own sister, I thought she would marry an unruly artist, or an unreliable man such as a writer, but I didn't expect her to choose a peer."

"Actually...... I think the characteristics of fashion designers and the industries you just talked about are ...... Almost. Ge Yi said with a smile.

The aunt and the sister-in-law looked at each other, smiled, and didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, Zhan Zongming shifted his attention to Zhan Leyan and Cheng Ruoke.

"You two, sometimes you have to focus on the overall situation, and the days will be long in the future, you should focus on your career while you are young, and lay the foundation before you are qualified to talk about anything else!"

looks like a strict father.

Cheng Ruoke could hear that her father-in-law was dissatisfied with Zhan Leyan's running to Switzerland to find her.

"I know Dad, I didn't think it through this time, and I won't in the future." Without waiting for Cheng Ruoke to admit his mistake, Zhan Leyan spoke first.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have made my own decisions." Cheng Ruoke hurriedly said.

"Okay, I know that the two of you have a good relationship, don't show affection here, hurry up and eat, the dishes are cold, and Dad, the first time my brother-in-law came, you lectured in front of him, how inappropriate!" Zhan Yiyang relieved the siege for the two.

"Okay, I won't say it, let's eat."

The meal was quite enjoyable, Cheng Ruoke ate Chinese food after a long time, and unconsciously ate more, and when she returned to the room after the meal, she realized that she had really eaten too much.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Nuan Nuan was fed a children's meal by Sister Lan and read a storybook with her mother in the room, Cheng Ruoke rubbed her stomach from time to time, and her caring son asked with concern after seeing it.

"Tell you secretly," Cheng Ruoke whispered next to her son's ear, "Mom is so full, so her stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

"Mom, why did you tell me secretly when you were full?" Nuan Nuan tilted her head and asked Cheng Ruoke, and then, as if he had thought of something, he asked with a smile, "I know, are you afraid that your father will laugh at you, so you are shy and dare not say it!" ”

Unfortunately, at this time, Zhan Leyan had just come back from a heart-to-heart conversation with his father, and when he opened the door, he heard his son's voice saying that he was afraid that he would laugh at his mother.

"Joke what? What are you shy about? Zhan Leyan looked at Cheng Ruoke and walked in while asking.

Cheng Ruoke poked his son's stomach with his finger and told him not to make a sound.

Nuan Nuan's eyes dripped down, she looked at her father, then at her mother, and shook her head with a smile under Cheng Ruoke's pleading gaze.

"It's nothing, Mom is telling me a story!"

The warm heart and eyes turned quickly, Cheng Ruoke was relieved, and nodded again and again.

"Yes, we are talking about the things in the story, not me, haha, haha......" Cheng Ruoke said while looking at Zhan Leyan, and his heart was also empty.

"Oh? So tell me about what is in the story? Zhan Le Yan knew that Cheng Ruoke and his son were lying to him, so he deliberately leaned over and sat upright, waiting for his son to tell him a story.

Cheng Ruoke closed the storybook and gave Zhan Leyan an apologetic expression.

"Nuan Nuan, it's not early, you should go to bed, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!" Cheng Ruoke drove his son to sleep.

"Okay!" Nuan Nuan understood what her mother meant, and immediately fell on the bed, pulled the quilt over and covered herself, "Good night Mom and Dad!" ”

Cheng Ruoke helped his son tuck the quilt, kissed his forehead, and said goodnight to his son.

turned around and found that Zhan Leyan was looking at her intently.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ruoke asked.

"What's wrong with you? What can't you tell me? Zhan Leyan asked curiously.

Everything is fine between him and Cheng Ruoke, but there is only one thing that makes him eager to change.

They seem too outward.

Just like now, she obviously had a stomach ache after eating too much, but she was embarrassed to tell him.

Cheng Ruoke shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that some stomach is not very upset, I'll just go find some medicine, you go take a bath."

"Sit." Zhan Leyan ordered.

"I ...... I'm going to find some medicine......" She knew her ability, and she would never be able to deal with Zhan Leyan, who had become serious, so she wanted to escape.

"Sit, I'll look for it." Zhan Leyan pressed Cheng Ruoke's shoulders with both hands and let her sit on the bed.

He turned and walked out of the room, and after a while he returned, handing out a box of stomach tablets.

"You...... I heard ......" Cheng Ruoke took the medicine box with a red face, opened the package and put the sweet and sour diet tablets in his mouth and chewed, "Thank you......"

She dodged his gaze.

Zhan Le Yan wanted to laugh, but he endured it, with a straight face, and his tone was low.

"Between us, we don't have to see each other so much."

"I'm just ......" she was just afraid that she would be disgusted by Zhan Leyan!

"You're cute, but I wish we could talk about everything." Zhan Leyan understood what Cheng Ruoke meant by what he wanted to say, so he sat beside her, brought the medicine box over, and took a pill himself, "Because I'm happy, I also ate too much today." ”

Cheng Ruoke first watched Zhan Leyan chew the pills in a daze, and then laughed out loud.

"Haha......"

"Look, what's so embarrassing about this, do you dislike me for being a foodie?" Zhan Leyan then took the opportunity to ask.

Cheng Ruoke shook his head very seriously.

"Nope."

"Well, so, come with me downstairs to get rid of your food."

Zhan Leyan picked up his coat and put it on Cheng Ruoke, and the two walked downstairs.

The people in the living room were still busy cleaning up, and when they saw the two of them going downstairs, they all greeted them respectfully.

"Let's rest early, everyone has worked hard today." Zhan Leyan stopped and said to the people.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." The subordinate returned the gift very politely.

It was already dark outside, and a crescent moon hung in the eastern sky, resting among the branches of a tall locust tree in the courtyard, which looked like a silver hook hanging from the branches.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is no noise of traffic, no light pollution, and the stars in the sky are exceptionally bright.

"Where's that little assistant of yours, why can't you see her?" Zhan Leyan suddenly remembered JJ.

"She had already gone to the guest room to rest, and she couldn't get rid of the jet lag, so she had already gone to sleep."

"I can follow you to China so reassuringly, I should trust you very much." Zhan Leyan expressed his opinion.

"Yes, so I want her to follow me and study with my brother-in-law."

"I don't know much about Xiong Tian, but you need to watch out for this person." Zhan Leyan suddenly changed his words, "If necessary, help me keep an eye on him." ”

Cheng Ruoke felt that Zhan Leyan might be a little too nervous.

"Are you a little nervous because of what happened recently?" Cheng Ruoke smiled and took Zhan Leyan's hand and gently squeezed it to help him relax.

Zhan Leyan looked at the faces that revealed innocence and trust in the night, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Some people, it's not as simple as it seems, don't trust anyone easily except me, you know?"

"There are still many good people in the world." Obviously, Cheng Ruoke did not agree with Zhan Leyan's words.

"Good guy...... Where is the dividing point between the good guys and the bad guys? In this world, there are no absolutely good people, and there are no completely bad people, and the starting point of all people is from the desire of the heart......"
