Chapter 32: The Reason for Marriage

  Waking up in the morning, Zhong Xiaofei's head was a bit dizzy and his eyes were dark, although he really wanted to sleep for a while longer, but there was no way, today was Tuesday, he had to go to work.

  A cheerful tune came from the kitchen, Xiaowei wore a suspender vest and a white apron, very professionally making breakfast in the kitchen, humming while working.

  She is indeed a happy and carefree little girl.

  As soon as Zhong Xiaofei heard her singing, he was immediately shocked while washing in the bathroom, feeling that the world is so beautiful, and God is so kind to send such a lovely and pretty little aunt to live with him, making breakfast for him every day. Ah, God, if possible, I must build a temple for you, as big as Shaolin Temple.

  "Brother-in-law, dinner is ready!" Little Wei shouted in a sweet and tender voice.

  "Oh." Zhong Xiaofei responded with a sound, put down the razor, washed his hands, and walked out of the bathroom. He looked at the golden fried eggs on the table, smiled and praised, "Delicious delicious, my mouth is watering."

  "Enjoy your meal and have some more!" Little Wei giggled and winked, twisting her hips as she went to pour milk again.

  Zhong Xiaofei looked at her back, thinking that Xiao Wei's little butt was round and big, it must feel great to touch, ah, she's your little aunt! Suddenly, Li Xiaoyan's figure flashed before his eyes, remembering the sweetness of last night's chat, and also thinking of Wu Yijie, Zhong Xiaofei's heart was in a mess. The delicious breakfast in front of him seemed to have lost its flavor.

  "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Xiaowei noticed that Zhong Xiaofei's face didn't look quite right.

  "There's nothing," Zhong Xiaofei smiled slightly, his eyes looking at Xiao Wei, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Wei, I'll ask you something."

  "Go ahead." Little Wei was very generous, untied the small apron tied around her waist, pulled over a chair and sat down at the dinner table.

  "Recently... have you talked on the phone with your sister?"

  "Got it," Xiao Wei replied very calmly, not showing any awkwardness at all. Although Zhong Xiaofei carefully observed her, trying to find a flaw in her words, she was disappointed. Not only did Xiao Wei have an open attitude, but also answered the question without hesitation. She continued, "Yesterday afternoon my sister just called me, but I don't like talking to her. She always wants to rush me back home, it's so annoying." Xiao Wei pouted, looking very dissatisfied.

  "Have you and your sister... talked about me?" Zhong Xiaofei asked a very crucial question, one that had been buried in his heart for a long time. He had always wanted to ask, but didn't dare to, fearing that once he asked, the wonderful life of his brother-in-law and little sister-in-law would suddenly come to an end. So he had been pretending to be ignorant, but if there was an opportunity, he still wanted to probe indirectly.

  Now is an opportunity.

  "Of course, I've said it before!" Xiao Wei giggled, "I said you have stinky feet, don't like taking baths, and sneak peeks at beautiful women. Hmph, you're simply full of bad habits..."

  Zhong Xiaofei's awkward smile, his eyes fixed on Xiao Wei, wondering if what she said was true or false. She and her sister must have communicated through the phone, but what would beautiful sisters say over the phone? Did Li Xiaoyan still not tell her sister that she and Zhong Xiaofei had broken up and no longer had any relationship? In other words, Zhong Xiaofei was not Xiao Wei's brother-in-law anymore?

  But Xiao Wei didn't tell her sister that her brother-in-law was now passionately in love with the company's beauty, and had already forgotten about his wife?

  These two questions are crucial, but Zhong Xiaofei didn't dare to ask directly, only dared to beat around the bush. But Xiao Wei's answers were tight-lipped, this little girl's eyes sparkled, cunning and unpredictable, Zhong Xiaofei really couldn't tell which sentence was true and which sentence was false.

  Alas, Zhong Xiaofei let out a soft sigh.

  "My sister said she would come to see me, but never came..." Xiaowei also let out a soft sigh, propping up her cheek with one hand, looking at Zhong Xiaofei with a charming and coquettish gaze. "I don't know what she's busy with... or else... brother-in-law, how about we go visit my sister together someday? You two haven't seen each other for so long, you must be dying to see each other, right? Hehe, I heard that a long time apart is better than a new marriage, why don't you two just get together and get your marriage certificate already..."

  Xiao Wei said very seriously and sincerely.

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't dare respond and could only smile wryly as he lowered his head to eat.

  "Brother-in-law, I'm a bit curious, you and my sister... why did you suddenly not get married two years ago? Our family had already prepared the wedding invitations," Little Wei asked with blinking eyes.

  Zhong Xiaofei hesitated, not knowing how to respond, and finally used a clumsy excuse, "We're still young... don't want to get married too early... uh, didn't your sister tell you?"

  "She said the same reason as you," Xiaowei sighed softly, "Why can't young people get married? Do they have to become old men and women before getting married? How boring is that, hehe, I don't know what you'll be like when you become an old man, will you still be so...ahem?"

  Zhong Xiaofei wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What's gotten into me?"

  "Isn't it obvious? You're looking at the beautiful woman, especially when you look at Wei Jie sister, it's simply lecherous, drooling all over the place, humph, don't think I don't know, I Li Xiaowei am not only beautiful but also clever and skilled...and...and..." Xiaowei thought hard.

  "There's still March 8th." Zhong Xiaofei chimed in lightly.

  "What's wrong with me?!?" Little Wei's small nose was standing up, she glared at Zhong Xiaofei fiercely, "Zhong Xiaofei! You dare to say it again?!"

  Zhong Xiaofei was so scared that he quickly threw away his bowl and stood up, "I'm full..." He hid in the bathroom and burst out laughing, of course, it was a silent laugh, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being heard by Xiao Wei.

  After dinner, Zhong Xiaofei took Xiao Wei to work on a mountain bike with two people. Xiao Wei was sulking and didn't even look at Zhong Xiaofei, still angry. Zhong Xiaofei had no choice but to accompany her with a smile, trying to make her happy. "Xiao Wei, I'll tell you a joke, do you want to hear it?"

  "Hmm." Little Wei hummed with her nose and didn't speak, but her small hands were tightly wrapped around Zhong Xiaofei's waist.

  Zhong Xiaofei knew she wanted to hear, pedaling the car while saying, "Do you know Chen Hao? The handsome guy in the planning department, he's a good friend of my brother-in-law. Hmm, he used to have a girlfriend who was very fierce, they lived together, and one time his girlfriend wanted to go shopping with her best friend, so she asked him for money. I happened to be there, at that time he was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking and watching TV, looking very cool, asking 'Is 20 enough?' His girlfriend thought for a moment, then nodded gently, my friend and I were both shocked, didn't expect Chen Hao to have his girlfriend under control like that. At this point, Chen Hao took out 20 from his wallet, then handed the wallet to his girlfriend, putting the 20 in his own pocket..."

  Xiao Wei burst out laughing, her smile blooming like a flower. She clenched her small fist and pounded twice on Zhong Xiaofei's back, "I'm dying of laughter, is this for real?"

  "Fake," Zhong Xiaofei burst out laughing. "Because Chen Huan is still a virgin!"

  Arriving at the company, Xiao Wei and Zhong Xiaofei exchanged a wink as they parted ways. With a brisk pace, Zhong Xiaofei headed up to the fifth floor. Instead of going to her own office, she first stopped by Li San Shi's secretary room on the fourth floor, which was part of the investment department. She took a glance and found that the secretary's desk was empty - He Mei Yi had not yet arrived at work.

  "Why didn't Sister He come?" Zhong Xiaofei wondered in her heart, "Could it be that she drank too much and can't get up?" At this time in the past, He Meiying would have already been sitting there working.

  After wandering around in the corridor for a while, I asked Wang Jie from the secretariat and only then did I know that He Mei Yi was indeed on leave today.

  So Zhong Xiaofei was relieved.

  Enter the office, sit down, turn on the computer, and start a day's work.

  In the afternoon, Zhong Xiaofei was busy in front of the computer when the phone rang. He picked it up and heard a soft voice say, "Zhong Xiaofei, Manager Li wants to see you about something!"

  It was He Mei Yi, she came to work this afternoon.

  "We'll be there soon." Zhong Xiaofei responded with a hint of nervousness, "He Jie, are you okay?"

  "What's on your mind? What's wrong with me? Xiaofei, thanks for sending me home last night..." He Meiying chuckled and spoke as usual, as if nothing had happened the night before.

  "It's nothing, it should be."

  Zhong Xiaofei put down the phone, walked out of the large office, turned right and came to Li San Shi's office. In the outer secretary room, he saw He Mei Yi first. He Mei Yi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black tube skirt, with two buttons undone, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, still sexy and cool. When she saw Zhong Xiaofei walking in, her mouth curled up into an enchanting smile. Although she had been drunk the night before, she looked spirited and radiant, with no signs of being affected.

  "Hey, sis." Zhong Xiaofei felt a bit embarrassed, after all, last night's events were too awkward.

  Mei Yi didn't mind at all, smiling sweetly, "Xiao Fei, I got drunk last night and didn't even know how to get back home... sigh, I really can't drink that much again in the future..."

  "Uh-huh." Zhong Xiaofei nodded.

  "By the way, who was that person you called last night? You two seemed to be chatting so enthusiastically?" He Mei Yi asked with a smile.

  "...a classmate." Zhong Xiaofei stuttered.

  "Is it a girl? Isn't she your old flame?" He Meiying giggled.

  Zhong Xiaofei smiled awkwardly and didn't deny it, just as Li Sanshi opened the door. Zhong Xiaofei quickly called out "Manager Li" and followed Li Sanshi into the office.

  Zhong Xiaofei and Li Sanshi had a detailed discussion about the market, and couldn't help but admit that although Li Sanshi looked unassuming, he indeed had ability. His judgment on the market trend was extremely accurate, making Zhong Xiaofei admire him. The two focused on discussing the US stock 09764, and Zhong Xiaofei once again reiterated his point of view, believing that 09764 was absolutely not a potential stock, and the company should not buy this stock.

  Li Sanshi did not immediately express his opinion, but instead gathered several other key members of the investment department and held a small meeting to have an in-depth discussion about 09764. At the meeting, most people's opinions were different from Zhong Xiaofei's, they all thought that 09764 was a potential stock for the future and could be invested in.

  Zhong Xiaofei remained silent.

  He knew that these people were saying this just to flatter, because everyone knew that 09764 was a stock that Li Sanshi had always favored and promoted. The investment department had already formulated a plan to hype up this stock, so if they said that 09764 was not good, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Li Sanshi?

  But in the end, Li Sanshi concluded: temporarily observe 09763 and no longer take over.

  Everyone was surprised, but Zhong Xiaofei just smiled faintly.

  After the meeting ended, Li Sanshi kept Zhong Xiaofei behind alone.

  "Xiao Fei, work hard, as long as you have the heart, this position... " Li San Shi patted his own chair with a smile on his face, "will be yours!"

  "Manager Li can rest assured, I will definitely work hard," Zhong Xiaofei said with his mouth, and also thought so in his heart.

  A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. An employee who doesn't want to be a manager is definitely not a good employee!

  The position of investment manager, Zhong Xiaofei certainly wants to do it, because only by doing the investment manager, having more trading rights, can he get more commissions in the transaction, and with more commissions, he can afford Wu Yijie, otherwise, just a small Wei is about to make him bankrupt.

  Thinking of Wu Yujie, Zhong Xiaofei's heart was both sweet and nervous. Wu Yujie had not come to work for two consecutive days, where did she go? Thinking of Wu Yujie's ambiguous smile that day, her enchanting eyes, Zhong Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat. He secretly vowed in his heart that if he saw Wu Yujie again, he would definitely confess to her!

  That day, apart from work, Zhong Xiaofei had been paying attention to Wu Yujie's news all the time, but unfortunately, he didn't hear anything.

  After getting off work at 5 pm, Zhong Xiaofei originally wanted to take Xiao Wei to a restaurant for dinner, but today Xiao Wei was excited and insisted on cooking a meal at home. "Brother-in-law, we're tired of eating out every day, let's eat at home, I'll cook for you, it'll be delicious." She said with a smile, asking Zhong Xiaofei to agree.

  Zhong Xiaofei naturally agreed, because whether the food is delicious or not, just looking at Little Wei wearing an apron and twisting her little butt in the kitchen is already a visual enjoyment.

  Two people went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables, then they went to the supermarket and bought a large number of seasonings. These things are not usually prepared at home.

  "Brother-in-law, help me wash the vegetables quickly!"

  "Brother-in-law, where did you put the small spoon? Quickly bring it to me!"

  Xiao Wei shouted orders in the kitchen, while Zhong Xiaofei ran back and forth, completely like a little running hall.

  "Hey brother-in-law, we're out of soy sauce, go buy some more quickly. Remember to get the most expensive and best one...". The vegetables haven't been washed yet, but Xiaowei has already given a new order.
