Chapter 7 A Family of Three

In the living room, Chen Xiao turned on the TV while he was free, while in the kitchen, Xia Zijin was already familiar with the apron to prepare the ingredients for supper. Su Jin couldn't cook, so he helped wash the dishes.

"Zi Jin, when I'm not here in the future, you should stay in school more often." Su Jin said softly.

Xia Zijin's movements stopped abruptly, and his expression suddenly became depressed.

Su Jin took her face in her eyes, rubbed the back of her head, and smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't think too much. Sister is eager to see you every day, but the situation is different now... Sister just doesn't want you to have too much contact with that person, do you understand?"

"I thought you dislike me, sister." Xia Zijin realized that she was wrong and stuck out her tongue. She is now studying alone in Yunjiang City, and people in the Su family don't like her, so this cousin is close to her.

But he looked back and said lightly: "But... sister, I don't think it's that serious."

"You haven't heard of this person's character, so it's better to contact him less. I'm just thinking about you." Su Jin snorted softly, thanks to her being away from home, otherwise she would have known that Chen Xiao had taken advantage of Xia Zijin several times before, so how dare she keep letting her cousin live?

But even so, Su Jin was still worried, and stroked his long hair and said, "How about this, I will help you ask where there is a house and rent it for you, and it will be closer to your school."

Xia Zijin pursed her lips and said lightly: "Sister, I...I'm fine, I'll just live in the school dormitory. Don't worry about it anymore. If you let me live here, I'm already very sorry."

"Silly girl, why are you polite to me?" Su Jin thought about it again and felt that it was inappropriate to let her cousin move outside in the dormitory. She asked her to move in just to facilitate care, so that her cousin would not stay in school on holidays and feel upset when she saw it.

But I am so busy with work every day, how can I take care of this cousin?

Xia Zijin hesitated and said, "Sister, I actually think my brother-in-law is not that bad..."

Su Jin angrily pointed her forehead with her index finger, "What do you know? Don't be confused by his appearance. It will be too late to suffer losses."

Xia Zijin suddenly remembered these days. Chen Xiao faced his malicious smile several times and felt a little nervous, but then he thought of something. His hand holding the kitchen knife paused and said softly: "I think... my brother-in-law seems to have changed a lot after this car accident. I have been in contact with him these days and have become much more harmonious..."

Su Jin ignored it and thought that this cousin was too simple. He chanted: "Anyway, listen to my sister, don't contact that person in the future. If he has any irregularities with you, tell me immediately, do you understand?"

Obviously, she had no confidence in Chen Xiao's husband.

This young man who has been with the capital for so many years can not say that he will become better. The country is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change after all.

Seeing this, Xia Zijin didn't dare to talk to Chen Xiao anymore. She put the dishes on the chopping board into the oil pan and said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law in the future...

Su Jin reluctantly held up a smile, looked at the calm artificial lake water outside the window, sucked his nose, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Since the elders of the two families need this marriage to maintain the need for political alliances, then I and him are just holding on to this virtual shell, but as for anything else, they no longer exist and there is no need to exist.

In her heart, the happiness of marriage in this life had long disappeared, when the paper marriage certificate was held in her hand.

The couple is loving and respectful, and most of them are for outsiders to see. Since it is a political marriage, it is impossible for every political couple to live in harmony and happiness. Feelings and reason are two different things. The couple cannot live together, but they must maintain their marriage. The only way is to not interfere with each other.

Su Jin suddenly remembered the advice from her parents before getting married: "It's not too late to slowly cultivate feelings after getting married."

But can you really have feelings for someone like this?

Forget it, let's accept your fate...

…………

After the food was cooked, Su Jin sat down and ate a few bites. Because the column team called the urge to say goodbye, he drove away from the villa. Before leaving, he gave Xia Zijin meaningfully in front of Chen Xiao, "Call me if you have something to do."

At the end, the wide dining table and full of dishes were left, only Chen Xiao and Xia Zijin sat face to face.

However, what surprised Xia Zijin was that she thought that because of her cousin, Mr. Chen would complain to her, and be angry, but she didn't expect that as soon as the food was served, this guy picked up the food as if nothing had happened, and ate it voraciously, with relish, which made her laugh and cry.

"Hey, brother-in-law, you can eat slowly, and no one will compete with you." Xia Zijin persuaded him with a funny look, but he felt a little comfortable. It seemed that the food he cooked was still as good as his appetite.

"Zi Jin, I just realized today that you are too unkind." Chen Xiao said vaguely, and there was still food in his mouth.

Xia Zijin thought Chen Xiao had any dissatisfaction with him, so she immediately lowered her head nervously, her long hair hanging down wrapped around half of her cheeks, and her beautiful long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble for a few times.

Chen Xiao was attracted by her little girl's attitude, and she really felt that this "sister-in-law" was much better than her wife.

But he also knew that she was a little unfamiliar with him, so he pointed at the dishes with chopsticks and smiled: "Tell me, the food you cooked is so delicious, why did I eat it now?"

Puchi... Xia Zijin couldn't help laughing, and forgot Su Jin's warning for a moment, and his fear towards Chen Xiao also slightly dissipated.

"Then when I have no classes in the future, I will often give it to my brother-in-law for you." Xia Zijin's words were filled with a smile, like a silver bell.

Chen Xiao smiled and continued to swallow the food.

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious and Xia Zijin was a little relieved because Chen Xiao was not angry with her cousin, her cell phone suddenly rang, looked at the number, and picked it up.

"Hey, Zhenzhen."

As soon as Xia Zijin said something, a noise came out, and even Chen Xiao on the opposite side heard it.

"Uh...now?" Xu Zijin glanced at Chen Xiao and chuckled, "I won't go. You guys can play... Well, there's something going on at night. Sorry to them on my behalf..."

Xia Zijin put down her cell phone, and two white jade-like jade arms that were pulled to her arms by her sleeves were folded onto the dining table, looking a little depressed.

"My friend is looking for you to play with, why don't you go?" Chen Xiao glanced at her.

Xia Zijin shook her head and said, "I don't want to go. I don't like the noisy environment in the bar."

Chen Xiao was not easily fooled by the little girl, and she smiled playfully, "It should be someone I don't want to see?"

When Xia Zijin heard this, her cheeks turned red, her eyes lowered and her eyelashes trembled.

"What else can I say to you? Do you think your brother-in-law is an outsider?" Chen Xiao suddenly felt that it was interesting to tease this sister-in-law.

Xia Zijin hurriedly said, "No! Actually... brother-in-law, can you stop telling me that I don't want her to worry, she is already very busy with work."

Stopping a secret with Su Jin? It’s a problem whether this wife is willing to listen to her or not!

After getting Chen Xiao's promise, Xia Zijin said shyly: "There is a boy chasing me. I have refused several times. It's still like this. He was treating me tonight, deliberately looking for my classmate to be a lobbyist."

Chen Xiao laughed silently, thinking that there was something unspeakable. It turned out that it was the pursuit of every child's game.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao said, "Zi Jin, do you want to hear your brother-in-law's advice?"

Xia Zijin hesitated for a moment, nodded with red cheeks.

"If you ask me, you probably didn't understand clearly before, so that the other party feels hopeful."

Seeing this sister-in-law's guilty look, Chen Xiao was confident and said, "If you really don't like that guy, I suggest you just make a break to save trouble."

"But, boys want face." Xia Zijin pouted, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Silly girl, you keep dragging you like this, he will lose face at that time. If you stop, you will suffer the trouble!" Chen Xiao was very tempted, but seeing that she was so nervous, she shook her head and said, "Hurry up and eat, I will accompany you after the meal. Let's explain it clearly and save you trouble."

"Ah..." Xia Zijin was shocked in an instant.
