[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

Sheng Qiming came specifically to apologize. He was carrying a small cake in his hand. The cake was pink and delicate, the kind of cake that girls would like.

After mocking Shao Huaizhi, he handed the small cake forward, saying, "Here you go."

Faced with the small cake offered to her, Lin Su pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "I don't want it."

"You don't want it?" Sheng Qiming didn't expect her to react this way. This was the first time he had given a woman a gift. He continued to hand it over, "Why don't you want it? I bought it especially for you."

Lin Su shook her head. "I don't want to."

Sheng Qiming simply handed the cake to her, saying, "What I bought for you is yours, take it!"

Afraid of dropping the cake, Lin Su had no choice but to take it. Holding the cake box in both hands, she looked up and said, "Even if you give me a cake, I won't forgive you."

Sheng Qiming didn't expect that she looked so soft and easy to bully, but she was quite tough in front of him. It must be Zong Yan who gave her the courage.

He stared at her trembling eyelashes, then snorted, "Fine, I won't forgive you. Do you think I want to apologize to you?"

Lin Su handed him the cake, saying, "Here you go."

"Isn't that just a trash can? You can throw it away then," Sheng Qiming said angrily.

Lin Su pursed her lips, turned to look at Shao Huaizhi beside her, and he smiled and took them, "Don't give them to me, I'll eat them."

Lin Su's hands were suddenly empty. She looked at him gratefully, her eyes soft, like those of a small animal, with a hint of dependence.

Shao Huaizhi's eyes flashed, and he let her go first. Sheng Qiming was unwilling to let her go, and was even more dissatisfied with him for interfering.

He personally went to the cake shop to choose that pink cake, selecting the most expensive one, yet some people still didn't appreciate it.

And she has two faces!

Don't think he didn't see the flirtatious glances between her and Shao Huaizhi.

"What do you mean?" Sheng Qiming asked aggressively after Lin Su had walked away.

"What do you mean?" Shao Huaizhi asked, holding up the cake box. "Do you still want this cake?"

"That was a gift for Lin Su. What do you mean by taking it?"

"She doesn't want to."

"If you don't answer, she'll take you!"

Shao Huaizhi shrugged, somewhat helplessly, "That's not how you interact with girls. Even if you want to observe her up close, you can't do it in such an intrusive way."

"Where did I offend you?" Sheng Qiming was still unwilling to admit it, but his face already showed a hint of guilt.

"She's so easy to coax, yet she still won't forgive you. Doesn't that say something?"

"How can you be so easily appeased?" Sheng Qiming squinted at him. "What was wrong with you just now? Were you exchanging glances with her?"

Shao Huaizhi chuckled. "Is that even possible?"

How could it be impossible? Even Zong Yan could fall in love with her!

Sheng Qiming suddenly sensed a hidden danger, but he was worried about Shao Huaizhi and was still very confident in himself.

Even if he were blind, he wouldn't be interested in such an ordinary woman.

Shao Huaizhi shared the same thought.

Each with their own thoughts, they smiled and waved goodbye as they parted ways.

Lin Su went straight to her study when she got home. She read until her eyes ached before she realized how late it was. When she went outside, she found that no one was home.

Aunt Zhang has already gone home, but Zong Yan hasn't come back from get off work yet.

Lin Su picked up her phone, which she had casually placed on the table. Zong Yan had sent her a message an hour ago, saying that he was going back to the old house tonight and wouldn't be coming back here.

Lin Su was a little worried about him, wondering why he had gone back to the old house again, because he always got beaten up every time he went back.

He always insisted on marrying her, but his parents disagreed. If he made a scene, they would beat him severely.

Although my family wouldn't hit me too hard, the marks on my back would take a long time to fade.

Lin Su sent him a message, advising him not to make a fuss and not to get beaten up for no reason.

The ancestral family's old residence.

When Zong Yan's phone rang, he was arguing with his father. Seeing his father so angry that he was about to grab a whip, he casually opened his phone, wanting to reply to his girlfriend's message promptly.

[Sweetheart, don't worry about your husband, go to sleep early.]

After replying to the message, he reflexively dodged the whip, and only after jumping did he shout, "Can't you have some martial ethics? I wasn't ready yet."

"You bastard, how dare you take her out?" the father roared angrily.

Previously, Zongyan had kept Lin Su well hidden, and their relationship was kept private, so Zongyan's father turned a blind eye.

Anyway, my son is young, so he can do whatever he wants.

But now he keeps nagging about marrying Lin Su every few days, and he takes her out to meet his friends. Now he even wants to take her to a proper business gala.

His father would never allow him to bring out that kind of woman who was not presentable.

He had no idea what kind of curse a shampoo girl who hadn't even graduated high school had cast on Zong Yan!

"Fine, don't bring her then. Do you think she wants to see you?" Zong Yan rolled his eyes. He'd learned his lesson after being beaten so many times.

Anyway, he's the only one in the family, he only likes Lin Su, and he'll only marry her. He can outlast her.

She couldn't take any more beatings. The pain was secondary; every time she went back with a back full of injuries, that timid woman would cry her eyes out.

And she even cried and said that it didn't matter if she didn't get married.

How can it be okay? He likes Lin Su, and he wants to marry her!

But Lin Su is too timid. What if he scares her a few more times and she becomes too scared to marry him?

Zongyan couldn't sleep at the old house, tossing and turning, and eventually returned to Shuijun Bay that night.

He groped his way into the bedroom, and as soon as he touched the bed, the woman on the bed woke up.

"Zong Yan." Lin Su knew it was him, and immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, her calloused hands gently touching his back. "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, but it won't hurt if you kiss me." Zong Yan pulled her face out of his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't find the injury, but she still obediently tilted her head up and kissed him, and would gently return his kiss.

"Sweetie, want to sleep some more?" Zong Yan chuckled, but he wasn't going to let her sleep any longer.

"I'm not going to sleep." Lin Su's voice was soft, and she was a little reserved, but Zong Yan liked it and would let her open up completely sooner or later.

His adorable baby's every reaction belongs to him, and of course, to him too.

The two of them finally fell into a deep sleep at dawn, and slept soundly until they slowly woke up around two or three in the afternoon.

Lin Su's legs were terribly sore, so she bent down and gently massaged them. Zong Yan helped her massage them too, raising his thick eyebrows. "Isn't your husband amazing?"

Lin Su blushed and glanced at him.

"Is it impressive?"

"……sharp."

Zong Yan smiled smugly and pressed his hands even harder, but he wasn't a professional and his massage technique was just average. "I'll give you a full-body massage later."

After the two got out of bed and ate, Zongyan drove her out.

He parked his car at a club he frequented, which offered a full range of services. He got out of the car first and then went around the car door to greet Lin Su.

"Be careful, do you want me to carry you?"

"No." Lin Su glared at him again. She wasn't actually that weak, but Zong Yan still half-embraced her and led her inside.

This scene was witnessed by Sheng Qiming, who had just finished playing games all night.

He looked at the woman, so frail she could barely walk, and felt a deep contempt for her.

Feeling disgusted, he became parched and drank a whole bottle of ice water, but it didn't help.

Suddenly, he felt that woman was even more despicable.
