To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

——Nanzhou, I will arrive in Beijing at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night. Can you pick me up?

When Fu Nanzhou saw this message, his throat tightened. Gao Ning was about to come back?

Pei Shaoqing stretched his neck to take a look, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Why don't you reply? Just say yes."

Fu Nanzhou turned the phone screen over and said, "I promised Lu Xi that I would have a sense of boundaries when it comes to Gao Ning."

"I'll pick it up for you." Pei Shaoqing smiled maliciously, "I'll go to the airport for you and tell you that you took your sister-in-law to camp at the Fluorescent Sea. Don't you think Gao Ning will understand?

"Gao Ning is a very smart person, and she's not that unreasonable. She will understand."

Fu Nanzhou pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "I'll go answer it. Some things are better said face to face."

Pei Shaoqing thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You should know how to handle things properly. To be honest, I really think my sister-in-law is a good person and is suitable for you. At least I haven't seen any annoyance on your face during this period. Except for your poor family background, there's nothing else to say."

Fu Nanzhou hummed, but it was precisely this family background that would make it difficult for Lu Xi to stay in the Fu family.

Ji Rou's incident caused quite a stir, and grandpa also knew about his marriage to Lu Xi, but he never mentioned asking him to bring her back to see her. It can be seen that grandpa does not recognize Lu Xi's identity.

Even his sister, as the eldest sister-in-law, did not ask him and Lu Xi to have dinner together.

Fu Nanzhou felt that this was a good idea as it would save a lot of trouble. Lu Xi wouldn't have to deal with his family, and his grandfather wouldn't have to face many difficulties because of Lu Xi's background.

When the two of them had children and great-grandchildren, the grandfather had no choice but to approve of them.

Fu Nanzhou thought a lot and forgot about Gao Ning. It was only after Pei Shaoqing reminded him that he replied "OK" to Gao Ning.

Pei Shaoqing asked: "You should tell your sister-in-law about this, right?"

"No, I won't say anything. Lu Xi tends to overthink things, and I just coaxed her into doing it, so I don't want her to get angry again. I originally wanted to take her with me to pick her up, but it was too late that day, and it was midnight when we got back, so I'll just go alone."

Pei Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and said, "My sister-in-law should thank you for being so thoughtful, right?"

Forget it. Since he can’t carry her like this, he won’t bother with it. It’s not like he’ll end up in the crematorium chasing his wife anyway.

"Shaoqing Pei, go back if you have nothing to do. You have nothing to do here." Fu Nanzhou began to drive people away.

Pei Shaoqing was speechless. He picked up the sandalwood fan and shouted towards the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."

When Lu Xi heard this, she came out and said, "Aren't you going to stay for dinner? Why are you leaving?"

Pei Shaoqing said with a smile: "It would be inappropriate not to go if my good buddy invites me to dinner. I will come and eat with you when I have time."

"Okay, then Mr. Pei, take care." After a pause, Lu Xi looked at Fu Nanzhou again, "Fu Nanzhou, please see Mr. Pei off."

Fu Nanzhou said "hmm" and stood up to see Pei Shaoqing off.

A few minutes later, Fu Nanzhou came back.

Seeing the bright red roses on the dining table, he suddenly remembered Gao Ning's previous complaint that he never gave her flowers.

When Lu Xi received the flowers today, she was visibly happy, which showed that she really liked them.

Then can I buy her a bouquet of flowers every day?

"Mrs. Fu, what are we eating tonight?" Fu Nanzhou came up to Lu Xi.

That's what it feels like.

When I walked in, I saw my wife busy in the kitchen, the blending of steam and fire. This is the flavor of life and the essence of marriage.

Moreover, his little wife is a treasure girl who can always make all kinds of delicious food. Although it is not as exciting as Gao Ning said, it is fresh.

Lu Xi came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's hot, let's make some cold noodles. Yiyi wanted to eat it, but she was scared away by you, so it's just the two of us."

Fu Nanzhou was surprised. "Liangpi? Mrs. Fu can actually make Liangpi? Will it be troublesome?"

Lu Xi was a little embarrassed by his reaction, "No trouble. It's best to use high-gluten flour. If you use ordinary flour, you have to add some salt to increase the gluten content.

"After kneading the dough, let it rest for half an hour, then wash it with water, just like washing clothes. At the end of the wash, the water will become clear, and what is left is the gluten."

"So you were fiddling around in the kitchen for half the morning, just washing your face?" He saw Lu Xi busy in the kitchen in the morning.

Lu Xi nodded, "Yes, because the water used to wash my face needs to settle for five or six hours, so I usually wash it in the morning and eat it in the evening. I have already steamed the gluten, and now I am going to start steaming the dough."

Fu Nanzhou was very interested, "What can I do?"

Lu Xi laughed at him, "Mr. Fu, just wait and eat. You can't do this."

Fu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Is it so difficult? Can't I steam the dough?"

This aroused his desire to win.

Lu Xi smiled sweetly, "Then you watch how I do it first, and then try it."

"it is good."

Lu Xi poured out all the facial cleansing water in the large basin, leaving only the settled starch and a thin layer of water. She then stirred it with a large spoon and scooped up a spoonful and placed it in the stainless steel steaming plate.

"Look, you have to turn it like this so that the batter evenly covers the entire plate, then put it into the pot and cover it immediately. By the way, the water must be boiling, and the heat must be high the whole time."

Fu Nanzhou looked at her with a smile, "When will it get better?"

“This will be quick. It will take less than a minute. It will be ready when the dough starts to puff up bubbles. Don’t open the lid before that.” Lu Xi said as she quickly opened the lid and placed the steaming plate in a basin of cold water.

"I always use two steaming trays alternately, which is faster. When steaming the second sheet, I will open the steamed cold skin and apply a layer of cooking oil to prevent it from sticking."

Fu Nanzhou's smile widened. "It feels like doing an experiment in a laboratory. Let me give it a try?"

"Okay." Lu Xi didn't expect Fu Nanzhou to be interested in this.

Fu Nanzhou's actions were very serious. He poured in a flat spoonful of batter, shook it carefully, put it into the pot, then bent over and stared at it.

"Honey, look, it's bubbling, is it healed?"

Lu Xi nodded, "Yes, you are tall, be careful not to hit your head on the exhaust hood."

Fu Nanzhou quickly opened the lid of the pot, took it to the cold water basin, and lifted the cold skin with his bony fingers, shaking with surprise, "I succeeded! Mrs. Fu, look, it's even and transparent, isn't your husband amazing?"

"Mr. Fu, you are awesome, I give you a thumbs up!" Lu Xi gave a thumbs up.

Fu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows, "I suspect you are implying something to me."

Lu Xi smiled coquettishly, "How could that be? I was praising you."

Fu Nanzhou pulled the girl over and kissed her gently on the lips, "It's good to be young. Even a 30-year-old man like me has become full of energy."

Lu Xi's heart trembled. At that moment, they really looked like an ordinary young couple.

"Fu Nanzhou, I like you." There was a gleam of joy in Lu Xi's black and white eyes.

Fu Nanzhou was stunned for a moment, then gently touched her head: "Leave the rest to me, Mrs. Fu, go and have a rest."

"Okay." Lu Xi nodded obediently, pretending not to notice his escape just now.

It was not until she went upstairs that her smile gradually disappeared. The joy and sweetness from her playfulness just now were like bubbles, dissipating and vanishing.

At that moment just now, perhaps she shouldn't have impulsively said that she liked him. She embarrassed herself and also brought trouble to Fu Nanzhou.

It turned out that Fu Nanzhou still couldn't let go of Gao Ning, otherwise why would he react like that to her confession just now?

If Fu Nanzhou said he liked her when he was in love, she would shyly respond to him, "I like you too."

This is the response.

Fu Nanzhou is a gentleman. At least during their marriage, they know each other. The Fu Nanzhou that Lu Xi knows is a man who will answer every question and respond when spoken to.

I would change the subject just because I don't want to hurt her.

If this is the case, is there any need for this marriage to exist?

She couldn't help herself just now, but Fu Nanzhou's lack of response made her sober up.
