He Yi is the younger brother of my late husband He Yu, who is also my brother-in-law, who is 20 years old this year and is a junior at a university in the north. Seven or eight years ago, my in-laws died one after another, and He Yu also committed suicide, leaving me and 12-year-old He Yi to rely on each other.

For so many years, I have loved him like a younger brother, spoiled him, provided him with education, took care of his diet and daily life, and raised a malnourished little boy into a tall and strong young man. When he doesn't have money, he doesn't eat or drink to let him eat, and then he has money, and he wants to satisfy him with everything, and when he turns 20 this year, I am also going to give him a sports car as a birthday gift.

My relationship with He Yi's sister and brother is very good and pure, and he is also the only warmth in my life.

Originally, he wanted him to study abroad, but he refused to agree, saying that he was too far abroad and couldn't go back several times a year, so it was better to stay in China to study, at least he could come back to see me every month, or I would go on a business trip to meet him in the city where he studied.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go home next month, or when we go to Europe together?" He asked with a smile.

"Next month, next month happens to be the busiest time in the company, and I don't have time to accompany you on a tour. By the way, don't you have a girlfriend, wouldn't it be nice to go with her? ”

He sighed, "It's been divided a long time ago, it's not interesting!" ”

"Isn't that girl very good, why break up?"

He Yi smiled, and said a little carelessly, "Because she found out that the remark name given to you in my mobile phone address book is 'favorite woman', and she also saw a lot of fleshy chat records between me and you, as well as the intimate selfies between me and you on my mobile phone." ”

I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, "Then why didn't you explain it to her?" ”

"Explained, she doesn't believe it." He Yi continued to laugh, "She asked me who you were, I said it was my mother, and she scolded me for being perverted; I said it was my sister again, but she still called me a pervert; I said it was my sister-in-law, and she got even angrier and scolded me for being a fighter in a pervert; In the end, I had to say that you are my girlfriend, and she believed it and said goodbye to me heartbroken! ”

He told me like a joke, but I felt a little awkward about it.

"He Yi, you are also 20 years old this year, don't make such jokes with others in the future."

I remember when I was twelve or thirteen years old, he often swore that he would marry me as a 'wife' when he grew up and protect me well. I only thought he was a child, and I was moved, but then I realized that he had indeed grown up, and he was no longer that stinky little boy, and sooner or later he would have to go out of society, and he would have to focus on other women, and I had to pay attention to keeping a 'distance' from him.

But from time to time, I always look at He Yi's face that looks very similar to He Yu...... I have to admit in my heart that the reason why I spoil this boy in every possible way is because he is He Yu's own brother, and he has a pair of eyes that are almost exactly the same as He Yu, looking at him, as if he saw He Yu after being reborn.

"Sister-in-law, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, his face a little displeased.

I froze and laughed, "Why do you ask?" ”

He stared at the phone screen, frowning, "Behind you, why is there a man's clothes?" ”

I looked back, and then I found that one of Jiang Feng's T-shirts, I don't know when it was thrown on the back of the sofa, was discovered by He Yi by chance. I couldn't let him know the truth, so I had to make up a lie, "Our company is going to release men's clothing recently, and this is a sample." ”

"Oh, that's what I'm thinking too much about." He Yi snorted, "Sister-in-law, of course I'm not against you having a boyfriend, but if you have a boyfriend, you must pass me first, just like I have to get your consent to have a girlfriend, isn't it?" ”

"......" I only smiled and didn't speak.

"Of course," he further teased, "if your boyfriend is Brother Kai, then I don't need to investigate, absolutely agree!" ”

"Okay, don't go too far, it's almost 24 o'clock now, go to sleep, there's nothing to talk about tomorrow."

"Well, you should rest early, good night, and call again if you have something." He Yi sighed and hung up the video reluctantly.

chatted with He Yi for a while, and his mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

He is the only warm little corner of me, and only in front of him, no need to disguise, no need to calculate, no need to worry about being betrayed, everything is so pure.

**

A few days later, the family's nanny Sister Tao finally came back from her hometown, bringing back a lot of souvenirs, and also brought back her as virtuous and diligent as ever, as soon as she came, she was responsible for all the housework in the family, big and small, coupled with her hearty personality of loving to talk and laugh, the house was no longer so deserted.

That morning, while I was still asleep, I was awakened by a phone ringing.

When I touched it and clicked on it, the familiar words 'Zhou Kaicheng' appeared on the screen, and my spirits were lifted.

I quickly sat up, adjusted my sleepy eyes, and felt 'ready' before sliding past the answer button, "Hey, Kaicheng?" ”

"Didn't bother you with your work, did you?" His deep, mellow voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"No, I'm still at home, I haven't gone out." Glancing at the alarm clock on the wall, it was already past 10 a.m.

He laughed relaxedly, and told me solemnly, "Yuncan, I'm back, I just got off the plane." ”

"Really?" I was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you tell me last time that it would take at least half a year to consider returning to China?" ”

"Last time? If you think about it, when was the last time we talked? ”

I reacted that after I made a transatlantic phone call with him at the beginning of this year, I didn't contact him for most of the year, he didn't call me, and I didn't take the initiative to call him.

I smiled apologetically, "Excuse me, but are you at the airport now?" ”

"Well, just called someone from my company and asked them to send a driver to pick it up."

"Otherwise, I'll pick you up." I blurted out without hesitation and said, "After all, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's have a meal and chat together." ”

"Okay," he said with a smile instead of being polite to me, "I want to see you for the first time anyway." ”

After hanging up the phone, I began to hurry up and clean up, washed my face, put on makeup, and went to the cloakroom to find clothes. I haven't seen each other for more than a year, I still attach great importance to this meeting, and I chose a simple and plain dress, the upper body is a pure white knitted sweater, a skirt below, and a shawl, the whole is more atmospheric and elegant, and the temperament is also in place.

I stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, always trying to be perfect. In the mirror, my figure is still relatively outstanding, my waist is very thin, my legs are very long, there is more material where there should be material, my skin is still snow-white and delicate, and my facial features are three-dimensional and exquisite, and I basically can't tell that I am over thirty years old.

It took half an hour to get to the airport.

When I arrived at the departure hall and was about to call him, I heard him call my name from behind, "Yuncan!" ”

I immediately turned around and saw Zhou Kaicheng's tall and straight figure appear in front of me!

He was standing four or five meters away, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, dragging a small suitcase in his hand, and slowly walked to me~

"......" It's only been a year since I saw him, but somehow I feel a little restrained.

I smiled and said, "You have such a good look in your eyes, you spotted me so quickly." ”

"Of course, if such a big beauty as you stand there, a blind man can see it clearly!" He said compliments, and his eyes locked on me, which made me even more restrained.

"Let's go," I turned, leading him to where I had parked.

When I got to the side of the car and put my luggage, I was about to get into the driver's seat, and he asked, "Why, your driver didn't come?" ”

I smiled, "No, Lao Wu has resigned a long time ago, and I'm now-"

Speaking of this, I thought of Jiang Feng and the unspeakable bits and pieces between me and Jiang Feng, which made me even more embarrassed in front of Zhou Kaicheng.

He didn't ask much questions, but couldn't help but push me into the co-pilot, buckle me up, and say that he didn't want me to be his 'driver'. I didn't have time to excuse myself, he was already in the driver's seat and started the car quickly.

"Where are we going now?" He asked pleasantly as he drove.

"Let's go to my house first, I've already asked Sister Tao to make lunch, go to my house to have a good rest and adjust to the jet lag."

"Okay," he didn't have any doubts, and seemed full of interest, "It's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes made by Sister Tao, don't say it, I'm quite nostalgic." ”

While driving, he looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, and then, he said in a deep and abrupt voice, "Yuncan, you seem to have changed." ”

I was slightly stunned and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Of course, it's normal to be a year older and get older." ”

"No," he said softly, glancing at me, "it's getting more moving." ”

I laughed disappreciatively and teased him, "Mr. Zhou's sweet words are so slippery, it seems that he has reconciled with your wife, and he specially returned to China to send me dog food, right?" ”

Who knows, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and then his whole face sank, and he just drove the car and didn't speak again for a long time......

His silence made me a little uneasy, and I didn't want to ask anything, so I had to look out the window and shut up for a while.

Zhou Kaicheng is nearly 10 years older than me in terms of age, and he is a bigwig in the financial industry, the controlling shareholder of a well-known venture capital company in China, and one of the major shareholders in my company.

It has been nearly 6 years since we met.

Back then, my husband He Yu and I founded a fashion design studio, which we worked hard for a year or two, but I didn't expect him to pass away unexpectedly. In those torturous days, I once thought about dying of martyrdom, but after days and nights of physical and mental torture, I finally decided to rely on his younger brother He Yi for my life, and tried to cheer up, while raising He Yi, I also focused on the operation of the fashion design studio.
