At the dinner table, the family was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At the table, Zhou Lijuan quietly held her mother's hand and walked behind her, whispering, "Mom, you really didn't say anything to my sister-in-law, did you?"

"Really not," Zhou's mother looked innocent and felt very annoyed, as if she really wanted to slap herself at that moment.

When Xu Xiufang just returned to her parents' home, how could she have expected that her careless words might cause Xu Xiufang to be suspected of dragging down Xu Hengwen and herself?

Now, whenever there is any movement from Xu Xiufang, the whole family will invariably cast their scrutiny on her, which makes Zhou's mother feel very depressed.

When Zhou Lijuan heard her mother's reply, she felt relieved. It wasn't that she doubted her mother, but she was somewhat wary of her mother's "glorious deeds" in the past.

Every time he promised something, he changed his mind afterwards.

Seeing her mother's hurt eyes, Zhou Lijuan quickly whispered to comfort her: "Mom, you have to do the same in the future! The Xu family attaches great importance to family unity. I am now a member of the Xu family. Naturally, we have to be of one mind with them... You see, in the past few months, you have been much friendlier to your parents-in-law. Have they become more sincere towards you as well?"

This was true. Zhou's mother nodded slightly, admitting that she had indeed felt changes during this period of time.

She realized that her previous attitude towards the Xu family was a bit too arrogant, so she deliberately adjusted her mentality and tried hard to integrate into the Xu family.

At first, the Xu family was reserved about her changes, but gradually, they saw Zhou's mother's efforts and their acceptance of her deepened.

At least in the past few months, the family has lived in harmony.

Of course, as long as it doesn’t involve Xu Xiufang’s affairs, everyone’s attitude towards her is still quite good!

......

After a warm dinner, Xu Xiufang and her family gathered for a while at Xu's house, then said goodbye to their parents and returned to their own home.

At night, after washing up, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, Xie Yi woke up slowly and prepared to get up quietly.

Little did he know that Xu Xiufang beside him also opened her eyes, and a mischievous smile quietly blossomed on her face.

She gently stretched out her toes, seemingly as if she was going to kick, but in fact, it was more like she was secretly teasing Xie Yi.

The moment her toes lightly touched Xie Yi, she was unexpectedly grabbed by him, and the warmth from his fingertips conveyed the warmth of the morning.

Xie Yi turned around, with a doting smile on his face, and asked jokingly: "Do you want to 'attack' me when I'm not prepared?"

There was a sweetness and tacit understanding unique to the two of them in their eyes.

Xu Xiufang half-opened her sleepy eyes, with a hint of lingering sleepiness in the corners of her eyes, but a mischievous smile was drawn at the corners of her mouth.

Realizing that Xie Yi's grip on her ankle was not strong, she seemed to have discovered a new game. She bent her knees playfully and gently kicked his chest with her small feet, bringing a touch of liveliness and intimacy in the early morning.

The beauty's posture when she just woke up was lazy and charming, with a few strands of hair casually falling beside her cheeks, adding a bit of unpretentious tenderness.

Xie Yi's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the pair of ankles that he was gently holding. The skin was fair and delicate, the curves were soft, and there was an irresistible charm.

His throat rolled up and down involuntarily, and the desire burning in his heart almost made him unable to control himself.

Just when he wanted to explore the tenderness of the early morning more deeply, Xu Xiufang suddenly seemed to realize something, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Yi, how about we go buy breakfast together?"

She suddenly suggested, with a hint of teasing and challenge in her voice.

"Don't worry," Xie Yi chuckled, his voice low and full of magnetism. He did not let go of her hand, but gently pulled her feet to his chest, his eyes full of determination that would not be refused, "Let's go later, I have more important things to do now."

"No," Xu Xiufang pretended to struggle, her eyes flashing with cunningness. Just when their lips were about to touch, she pretended to exclaim, "I'm already hungry."

In fact, she just wanted to take the opportunity to play with Xie Yi. She planned to go out early to buy breakfast and observe the business conditions of the street vendors. She didn't expect that the usually steady Xie Yi would fall into her little trap so easily.

She had not considered that morning was the time when men were most energetic, especially for Xie Yi who was in his prime. Moreover, in front of Xu Xiufang, he always found it difficult to control his inner desires and impulses.

Xu Xiufang's proactive teasing was a signal of temptation to Xie Yi. How could he let go?

So, he no longer hesitated, lowered his head and sealed the lips that were trying to escape, his actions revealing an irresistible dominance.

Xu Xiufang was speechless for a moment, and could only convey helplessness and compromise with her slightly opened eyes. She secretly regretted that she had provoked this little "war".

Xie Yi caught her subtle emotional changes, and a doting smile appeared on his lips. He was about to deepen the kiss, but unexpectedly a sudden gurgling sound broke the ambiguous atmosphere between them. It came from Xu Xiufang's flat and smooth belly, and it was clearly audible.

This sudden episode made Xie Yi stunned, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

Xu Xiufang was also stunned, her cheeks flushed, and both of them were unexpectedly embarrassed.

Faced with this sudden hunger signal, Xie Yi couldn't bear to let his beloved go hungry, so he resigned himself to his fate and stood up and began to put on his clothes one by one.

He carefully picked out her clothes from the closet, and the moment he turned around, he caught her trying to hold back a smile, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"If you don't want to get up and have breakfast, shall we continue?"

He pretended to be threatening, but his tone was full of doting.

When Xu Xiufang heard this, she immediately jumped up from the bed like a little deer and quickly responded, "I want to think about it. I'm almost starving."

Xie Yi chuckled and threw the clothes on her head casually. There was a bit of childishness in his movements. He deliberately ruffled her hair, which made Xu Xiufang stare in silence. She secretly sighed in her heart that this man was becoming more and more childish as he grew older.

After tidying up their clothes, the couple went to the children's room first. Xiaoyun and Xiaobao were still asleep, so the couple quietly went out.

The morning in Beijing is already a busy scene, with office workers dressed in neat work clothes and riding their bicycles hurriedly rushing to their respective jobs.

Along the way, Xu Xiufang and Xie Yi paid careful attention to every detail on the roadside.

Although street vendors are still active, most of them choose to hide in crowded and relatively secluded corners such as factories, units or state-owned restaurants, and they are rarely seen on the spacious streets.

These vendors carry some lightweight cooking utensils and packaging materials with them so that while they are packing food for customers, they can also be alert to any disturbances around them at all times. If they notice inspectors approaching, they can quickly pack up their businesses and evacuate.
