Xue Zhe embraced Coco's waist, kissed Coco's tears lightly, kisses like broken stars fell on Coco's tear-stained eyes, smooth cheeks, and thin lips. The two comforted each other, Coco put his arms around Xue Zhe's neck and stroked his bearded face.

"Wife, you are so beautiful." Xue Zhe said affectionately.

"Xiao Zhe, no matter how your mother treats me, you will love me forever and protect me all the time?"

Xue Zhe didn't answer, but hugged Coco even more tightly.

"Xiao Zhe. As long as you treat me well, no matter how your mother treats me, I will bear it, just like just now."

"Wife, I love you, I can't exchange anything for you." Xue Zhe said.

"I love you, Xiao Zhe." Coco said out every single word, wrapping her arms tightly around Xue Zhe's neck.

Xiao Yuehan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, wept silently. "Xiao Zhe, he's not mine anymore." Xiao Yuehan muttered and went downstairs. The quaint murals on the wall and the bright red carpet on the stairs were left behind, only the sad back and the door that was not closed tightly remained. The huge "Xi" character on the door is rightly pasted in the middle of the carved wooden door, as solid as the carved door.

In the early morning, Coco was awakened by a knock on the door, and the voice of a servant was outside the door. Coco started to get up in a daze to wash and change clothes. When he and Xue Zhe appeared in the restaurant, they couldn't help being stunned.

Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Hanwen are all sitting at the dining table waiting. Everyone is sitting on the ebony chair decorated with white silk, and the tall glass candlesticks are set off brightly and dazzlingly, creating a strong contrast with the brown tablecloth, lighting up the dark dining table and the rich breakfast on the table vitality. Everyone waiting is smiling.

Xiao Yuehan walked over and said with a smile: "Li Ke, I heard from Xiaozhe that you like cheese, so I went to the supermarket to buy this for you, to see if it's delicious." Like fresh cheese, put it in front of coco's seat.

After saying good morning to everyone, Coco sat down with her head bowed. The scene that happened last night is still lingering in her mind. I don't know why the mother-in-law seemed to be a different person in the morning.

Xue Zhenyu said while reading the newspaper: "Today you all go to work in the company, and Li Ke goes to the finance department to learn about finance. Xiaozhe and I should learn more from Hanwen and see how much Hanwen has done in that real estate project now." good."

"Isn't coco with me? Why do you want to go to the finance department? She doesn't know anything about it." Xue Zhe picked up a piece of bread and asked inexplicably.

"Didn't you tell me that from now on, you have to say your Chinese name at home, don't always say 'koukou'." Xiao Yuehan said a little unhappy.

"Studying finance is a good thing. Girls are cashiers and manage accounts at home. You are a boy, and the final business of the company will be handed over to you. I want to introduce you to our company's old customers, so that's the deal. " Xue Zhenyu said and stood up.

"Uncle." Han Wen quickly stood up and said, "I'll take Li Ke to the finance department later. She's not familiar with the company, so I can take her around and have a look. You take Xiao Zhe away, In this way, we can just drive two cars, and Li Ke doesn't know the way."

"Okay, it's still Hanwen who is thoughtful. Xiaozhe, you need to learn more from Hanwen." Xue Zhenyu said, picked up his coat and walked out the door.

"Coco, why are you unhappy?" On the way to the company, Hanwen asked while driving: "Your complexion is not very good, could it be that you are not acclimatized?"

"Hanwen, call me Li Ke from now on, I have to get used to my Chinese name." Coco looked out of the window with a melancholy expression. After the quarrel last night, the mother-in-law immediately changed back to her original gentle appearance, which made me very uncomfortable and even confused. Every morning, I still have that nightmare, and the day after the nightmare always looks haggard.

"Okay, Miss Li Ke, tell me, why do you look so unhappy?" Hanwen looked at Coco worriedly.

Coco told about everything that happened last night. Hanwen frowned, unexpectedly, so many things happened so quickly.
