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

Fu Nanzhou reached out to the upper cupboard and took down a box of chili peppers that Lu Xi and Lu Yao had bought at the supermarket.

Lu Xi swallowed and felt as if his strength was suddenly drained away.

"So it's here." she whispered.

Fu Nanzhou responded in a deep voice, "Well, I'm used to putting things in the cupboard. It's not tidy to put them all on the stove."

Lu Xi discovered that Mr. Fu was particularly fond of cleanliness. When she was washing the beef brisket just now, he was cleaning up these things.

But he was also very gentlemanly. Even though he didn't like it, he didn't scold Lu Xi for putting all the things on the table. Instead, he went to clean them up himself.

This is really a plus.

But Mr. Fu only needed to tell her just now. She is 1.68 meters tall, not short, and can reach the upper cabinet with her hand.

Thinking of when Mr. Fu approached her just now, Lu Xi couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast again.

Her brother-in-law had also stuck close to her before because he was helping her get things, but he would stick very close to her, with their bodies almost completely touching, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

But when Fu Nanzhou approached her just now, he obviously kept his distance. They were not touching each other. It was Lu Xi who blushed easily and felt embarrassed.

After comparison, Lu Xi felt that Fu Nanzhou was really great.

Not daring to continue thinking about it, Lu Xi said, "Mr. Fu, let me cut the chili peppers."

"Let me do it. Girls need to apply skin care products at night. It's best not to touch such spicy things. It will irritate the skin." Fu Nanzhou had already torn off the plastic wrap and took two chili peppers to rinse them.

Lu Xi's heartbeat quickened.

Zhuang Yi said that Mr. Fu was a devil and was extremely scary.

But she didn't think so. He was so thoughtful, warm and considerate. He was a good husband. She envied the girl who was cared for by Mr. Fu.

With the cooperation of the two, the meal was ready quickly. One cold dish, one hot, one meat and one vegetable, paired with the fragrant and plump white rice, it was really delicious.

It was the first time that Fu Nanzhou tried cold lettuce and he was a little resistant at the first bite.

However, Lu Xi was waiting for his feedback with anticipation, but he still put it in his mouth, and his black eyes brightened obviously.

Lu Xi bit her chopsticks and looked at him, "Mr. Fu, do you think it tastes good?"

Fu Nanzhou chewed slowly, "Mm, sour, spicy, crisp, and very fragrant."

Lu Xi smiled, revealing two cute dimples. "Among the cold dishes, this is my favorite, along with the stir-fried shredded potatoes. What about Mr. Fu?"

Mr. Fu thought for a moment and said, "Shredded potatoes."

Lu Xi smiled shyly, "It turns out that Mr. Fu likes potatoes as much as I do."

Fu Nanzhou said "hmm" and ate his dinner in silence.

"Mr. Fu, you like sheep..."

"Lu Xi." Fu Nanzhou suddenly interrupted her, "Talk less while eating."

Lu Xi's smile froze for a moment, and she quickly shut up.

She seemed a little too proud of herself. Why was she so talkative in front of others?

Before her sister married her brother-in-law, her sister reminded her to speak less in front of others.

Later, her sister got married and that family was no longer hers, but Lu Xi still didn't dare to say much.

Especially at the beginning, Li Qian hated her. One time after dinner, when she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, she heard Li Qian muttering: "It's okay to eat a lot, but you still talk so much while eating. You are so uneducated. You can't be without a father and a mother."

Lu Xi was sensitive and immediately realized that Li Qian was talking about her.

But in fact, she said one thing that day: "Sister, don't always pick up food for me. You love ribs the most, so go ahead and eat them."

So when Li Qian grumbled, Lu Xi stubbornly refuted in a low voice, "Auntie, I have parents, and they only said one sentence."

Li Qian was unhappy, "You're still talking back? Do you know whose house this is?!

"I'm telling you, it's your sister who married into our family, not you. You're just a freeloader. If I tell you to shut up, you'll shut up, or I'll kick you out right away!

"Lu Yao, you're the same. It's fine if you eat our food yourself, but you're trying so hard to pick up ribs for you. Are you trying to bankrupt our family?!"

Lu Xi was used to it, because she had been living under someone else's roof since she was a child and had heard the same words too many times.

Lu Xi began to eat quietly, taking small bites. Even when chewing the shredded lettuce, she was very careful for fear of making any crunching sounds.

Fu Nanzhou works hard in the business world and pays great attention to details, so he naturally did not miss Lu Xi's little move.

For a moment, he felt a little distressed. Was he too harsh just now?

After thinking for a while, Fu Nanzhou took the initiative to speak, "Shredded lettuce is delicious. We can make it more often at home."

"Okay." Lu Xi continued eating.

Fu Nanzhou wanted to explain, but he felt that explaining would only make things more obvious. The little girl was sensitive and might think more, so he simply kept silent.

After dinner, Lu Xi cleaned up. Before Fu Nanzhou went to the study, he said, "You go to bed first. You don't have to wait for me. I was busy late and slept in the study."

Lu Xi nodded: "Okay."

Only after Fu Nanzhou went upstairs did Lu Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

After taking a shower, she called her sister on video, but she was still worried.

Lu Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and her breathing was uneven, "Xi, Xixi."

"Sister, why are you..."

Just as Lu Xi was about to ask what was wrong, Che Nan took the phone, also blushing and panting, "Xixi, your sister is busy, let's talk later."

The video was then disconnected.

Lu Yao looked embarrassed, "Anan, Xixi must be overthinking it."

Che Nan covered the two of them with a blanket and said with a heavy breath, "Just think about it. Xixi is not a child anymore. Sooner or later, you will do this with your boyfriend, right?"

Lu Xi's face turned red enough that blood could drip out. Even though she was naive, she could guess what her sister and brother-in-law were doing.

But then she became a little angry. Her sister had just become pregnant and the doctor had told her not to have sex. Why didn't her sister listen?

It was almost eleven o'clock before my sister called me.

"Sister, please be careful." Lu Xi frowned.

Lu Yao blushed and said vaguely, "Well, I understand. By the way, Xixi, your brother-in-law asked me to ask you, is that Mr. Fu a senior executive of Fu Corporation? See if you can help him get a promotion for your brother-in-law."

Lu Xi's face darkened immediately. "Sister, Mr. Fu has nothing to do with the Fu Group. Besides, I already owe him such a big favor, and I don't know how to repay him. How can I trouble him again?"

Lu Yao sighed, "I know, but what my mother-in-law said is right. I'm going to have my second baby. If it's really a boy, I have to plan early. It will cost a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

Lu Xi was a little impatient. "Just do your best and we'll talk about it later. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep first."

"Okay, behave well at work. After all, it was your brother-in-law who put you in jail. If you make a mistake, your brother-in-law will also be implicated."

Lu Xi was really convinced. She got in through the interview on her own. What did it have to do with her brother-in-law?

But she didn't say anything, just said "hmm" and hung up the phone.

Putting the phone aside, Lu Xi couldn't help thinking, fortunately she didn't let her brother-in-law know that Mr. Fu was also in Fu's, otherwise it would definitely be troublesome.

However, she seemed to have never asked Mr. Fu what position he held in Fu's company.

Mr. Fu is so busy every day and earns a lot. Is he from the marketing department?

It's really hard to run around outside all day, and all the money I earn is used to rent this luxury house.

She should start paying some rent next month. Even though it’s a drop in the bucket, at least Mr. Fu won’t have to work so hard.

And she will take good care of Mr. Fu and make more delicious food for him.
