Marriage is not sex: Husband loves so fiercely

"Little uncle, you are too. Why did you show up now? We have been worrying about finding a suitable partner for my aunt!"

"I'm afraid that my husband's handsomeness will catch your eyes!" Auntie smiled while holding Xiong Tian's arm.

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

"Your family members are all good-looking, I'm serious." He said solemnly in non-standard Chinese.

Even Zhan Zongming, who was always serious, was amused by Xiong Tian's way of talking.

The whole family greeted each other and went to the house in clusters. Passing by the garden path, they saw peonies that had passed their flowering period with their yellowed leaves scattered listlessly on the ground. It was really desolate.

No matter how glamorous Zhanjia looks on the surface, without the hostess, it is more like an empty shell that has lost its soul, which is not only embarrassing.

The family portrait hanging on the closet in the living room made the smile on my aunt's face disappear instantly.

"Unfortunately, my sister couldn't wait until today." She raised her head sadly, looking at the sickly elder sister who was thin and sick in the family portrait, although she tried her best to smile.

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

"Madam has a spirit in the sky, and will keep the family safe and healthy."

After a while, Mrs. Chen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said with emotion.

"Okay, okay, dinner is ready, everyone hurry up and sit down!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ge Yi immediately took on the appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law at home, and arranged for everyone to sit down for dinner.

Such formal dining is rare in Zhanjia, so the two children were taken to the room by Sister Lan and Aunt Chen to play.
At the dining table, Zhan Zongming took out the red wine that had been preserved for decades for everyone to taste.

"It's rare that the whole family is here, so today I will taste the red wine that I have treasured for 30 years." When he said this, although he smiled, his eyes kept looking at the empty seat next to him.

This is a family rule. Since the wife passed away, every time she eats, she will reserve the place where she sat before she was alive and place the dishes.

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

"This is made by your mother and I in the vineyard. There are only two bottles in total. That one...I buried it in her tomb..."

Cheng Ruoke looked at her father-in-law, who was obviously much older, with mixed emotions in her heart.

A hand grasped her palm from under the table, the warm and thick palm was Zhan Leyan.

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

"Dad, it's the first time for little uncle to come here, let's... talk about something happy!" Zhan Yiyang interrupted this sad remembrance at the right time.

"That's right, look at me, I'm so confused, your name is Xiong Tian, ​​isn't it? I heard that you are a fashion designer?" Zhan Zongming recovered from his sadness, raised his glass and talked with Xiong Tian.

"Yes, brother-in-law, my name is Xiong Tian, ​​and I'm a tailor." Xiong Tian also raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses lightly, and then drank.

"That's right, Meiling has been by my sister's side for so many years. I have always regarded her as my own sister. I thought she would marry an unreliable man like a bohemian artist or writer. I didn't expect She chose a colleague."

"Actually... I think fashion designers have similar characteristics to those industries you mentioned just now." Ge Yi said with a smile.

The aunt and uncle looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.

Later, Zhan Zongming turned his attention to Zhan Leyan and Cheng Ruoke.

"You two, sometimes you have to focus on the overall situation. There are still many days to come. When you are young, you should focus on your career and lay down the foundation before you are qualified to talk about other things!"

Just like a strict father.

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

"Understood Dad, I didn't think carefully this time, and I won't do it in the future." Before Cheng Ruoke could 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 you two have a good relationship, so don't show your affection here, let's eat quickly, the food is cold, and besides, Dad, the first time my little uncle came here, you should reprimand him in front of him, How inappropriate!" Zhan Yiyang rescued the two of them.

"Okay, I won't talk, let's eat."

The meal was quite enjoyable. Cheng Ruoke ate Chinese food after a long time, and unconsciously ate more. 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 reading a storybook with her mother in the room after being fed a children's meal by Sister Lan. Cheng Ruoke rubbed her stomach from time to time. After seeing her, her caring son asked with concern.

"Secretly tell you," Cheng Ruoke whispered next to his son's ear, "Mom is so full, so my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

"Mom, why did you tell me secretly when you were full?" Nuan Nuan tilted his head and asked Cheng Ruoke, and then, as if he had thought of something, he laughed and asked, "I see, are you afraid of dad's jokes?" You, that's why you're too shy to say anything!"

Unfortunately, at this time Zhan Leyan had just returned from having a heart-to-heart talk with his father, when he opened the door he heard his son saying that he was afraid he would laugh at his mother.

"What's the joke? Why are you shy?" Zhan Leyan looked at Cheng Ruoke, asked and walked in.

Cheng Ruoke poked her son's stomach with her finger and told him to keep quiet.

Nuan Nuan rolled her eyes, looked at her father, then at her mother, smiled and shook her head under Cheng Ruoke's pleading gaze.

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

Nuan Nuan's 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, ha..." Cheng Ruoke looked at Zhan Leyan while talking, feeling guilty.

"Oh? Then tell me together, what's in the story?" Zhan Leyan knew that Cheng Ruoke and his son were lying to him together, so he deliberately leaned over and sat upright, waiting for his son to tell him the story.

Cheng Ruoke closed the storybook and gave Zhan Leyan a sorry expression.

"Nuan Nuan, it's getting late, you should go to bed, and you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!" Cheng Ruoke drove her son to bed.

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

Cheng Ruoke helped her son tuck up the quilt, kissed his forehead, and said good night to his son.

Turning around, he found that Zhan Leyan was staring at her intently.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ruoke asked.

"What's wrong with you? Can you tell me anything?" Zhan Leyan asked curiously.

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

They seem too out of touch.

Just like now, she clearly felt sick to her stomach from eating too much, but she was ashamed to tell him because of embarrassment.

Cheng Ruoke shook her head.

"It's nothing, it's just that some stomachs are uncomfortable. I'll just go find some medicine. You can go take a bath."

"Sit down." Zhan Leyan ordered.

"I... I'll go find some medicine..." She knew that she was capable, and she would definitely not be able to deal with Zhan Leyan who became serious, so she wanted to run away.

"Sit down, 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 came back after a while, handing out a box of Jianweixiaoshi tablets.

"You... heard..." Cheng Ruoke took the medicine box with a blushing face, opened the package and chewed the sweet and sour Xiaoshi tablets in her mouth, "Thank you..."

She avoided his gaze.

Zhan Leyan wanted to laugh, but he suppressed it, with a straight face and a low tone.

"There's no need to see each other so much between us."

"I'm just..." She was just afraid that she would be rejected by Zhan Leyan!
"Although you are cute like this, I hope we can talk about everything." Zhan Leyan understood what Cheng Ruoke's hesitation meant, so he sat beside her, brought the medicine box over, and ate it himself A pill, "Because I'm happy, I also took too much today."

Cheng Ruoke stared blankly at Zhan Leyan chewing the pills, then laughed out loud.

"Ha ha……"

"Look, what's so embarrassing about this, do you think I'm a foodie?" Zhan Leyan took the opportunity to ask.

Cheng Ruoke shook her head very seriously.

"No."

"Well, so, accompany me downstairs to digest food."

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

The servants in the living room were still busy tidying up. When they saw the two coming downstairs, they greeted them respectfully.

"Go to rest early, everyone has worked hard today." Zhan Leyan stopped and said to the servants.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." The servant replied politely.

It was already dark outside, and a crescent moon was hanging in the eastern sky, stopping between the branches of a tall pagoda tree in the yard, looking like a silver hook hanging on the branch.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is no noise from traffic, and there is no light pollution. The stars in the sky are extraordinarily bright.

"Where's your little assistant, why didn't you see her?" Zhan Leyan suddenly thought of JJ.

"She has already gone to the guest room to rest. The jet lag can't make up for it, so she went to bed early."

"Being able to follow you to China with such peace of mind must be because I trust you very much." Zhan Leyan expressed his opinion.

"Yeah, so I want her to follow me and study with my uncle."

"I don't know much about Xiong Tian, ​​but you need to beware of this person." Zhan Leyan suddenly changed the subject, "If necessary, keep an eye on him for me."

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, squeezing it gently to help him relax.

Zhan Leyan looked at the face showing innocence and trust under the night, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Some people are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Don't trust anyone but me, you know?"

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

"Good people... Where is the dividing line between good people and bad people? In this world, there are no absolutely good people, and no completely bad people. Everyone's starting point comes from their inner desires..."
