Finally, there were Xie Zhuzhou's gifts, six in total, all of them sparkly and cool gemstone jewelry.
Xie Zhuzhou had a collecting obsession, was very happy. However, wasn't he taking his wife's lifestyle a little too naturally?
Xie Zhuzhou recalled that every time they went out, Chu Yanzhang almost always ended up secretly paying the bill.
Chu Yanzhang even said that he was still in school and didn't need to spend so much money!
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
In short, Chu Yanzhang is perfect in every way. In Xie Zhuzhou's eyes, there is no one better than Chu Little Yan!
Xie Zhuzhou watched Chu Yanzhang interact with his brothers, feeling both nervous and proud. He was nervous because he didn't know how his brothers would make things difficult for Chu Yanzhang; he was proud because Chu Yanzhang behaved so well and gracefully, not at all like the stage fright he had feared.
Ji Wangchen sat gracefully on the sofa, but his tone carried a hint of scrutiny. " Mr. Chu, how long have you been with our youngest son?"
Chu Yanzhang smiled slightly and obediently replied, "It's been more than two months, elder brother."
Hearing him call him "elder brother" so shamelessly, Ji Wangchen almost lost control of his facial expression. "You two are planning to get engaged after only two months? Isn't that a bit too hasty? Or do you have some ulterior motive?"
Chu Yanzhang's neck and face gradually turned red. "My goal is to be with Zhouzhou forever."
Xie Zhuzhou blushed slightly upon hearing Chu Yanzhang's courageous confession. He coughed lightly and said, "Brothers, let's get to the point. You all have to go to work later; it's only Thursday. You too, Little Yan, make sure you do your job well."
Chu Yanzhang: "..."
Brothers: "..."
So, Xie Xiaozhou, is making your whole family go to work your main job?!
Xie Zhuzhou's untimely remark successfully broke the guard of his brothers.
Getting back to the main point, Chu Yanzhang must pass his brothers' tests before he can get engaged to Xie Zhuzhou.
Ji Wangyun was pretending to have amnesia and therefore had no right to speak, so he could only come to make up the numbers.
The other two older brothers thought it over and over. In terms of academics, Chu Yanzhang was a max-level kid, having already achieved things that others could only dream of at the age of 20.
Looking back on half a lifetime, whether it was starting a business or seeking revenge, all his achievements are verifiable.
In the end, all that was left was a fistfight.
Chu Yanzhang was somewhat surprised that his brothers would actually compete in this; he had thought it would be some kind of ordeal involving climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire.
Although he felt a little relieved, Chu Yanzhang still pretended to be very nervous, which made Xie Zhuzhou feel very sorry for him.
After Chu Yanzhang changed into his sportswear, Xie Zhuzhou prepared protective measures for Chu Yanzhang's hands in advance.
Ji Wangchen and the others guessed that Chu Yanzhang was also trained in martial arts, so now they could only compete to see whose fist was harder.
Unable to participate in the fight, Ji Wangyun could only stand by and add insult to injury, saying to Chu Yanzhang in a tone of "we're doing this for your own good," "Don't think this is just a test for you. We're just worried you can't take a beating. What if you get so badly beaten that you can't get out of bed after only a few days of marriage because you angered your brother?"
Chu Yanzhang: "..."
Chu Yanzhang smiled slightly and replied politely, " Xiexie for your concern, Second Brother. I will be careful. Should I go first, Eldest Brother, or Third Brother?"
Ji Wangyan snorted coldly, clearly disapproving of Chu Yanzhang's attitude.
He stretched his wrists and took the lead on the octagonal platform.
Seeing this, Xie Zhuzhou whispered to Chu Yanzhang, " Little Yan, just do your best, don't push yourself."
Xie Zhuzhou felt his brothers had gone too far. They knew Little Yan was delicate, yet they insisted on this competition! What was with testing Chu Yanzhang's resilience? Was he the kind of person who would beat his wife?
Chu Yanzhang nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He said gently, " Zhouzhou, it's nothing... Don't worry, I'm really not as fragile as you think."
Xie Zhuzhou nodded perfunctorily. "I'm not weak, I just hurt myself while fighting others."
Chu Yanzhang: "..."
Chu Yanzhang walked into the octagonal platform, Ji Wangyan was already standing in the center waiting for him. He took off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and did so with a swift and elegant movement.
Chu Yanzhang put on a pitiful act, which made his older brothers grit their teeth in anger.
That despicable green tea bitch, she's really good at playing the victim!
On the surface, he said he wouldn't let his younger brother worry, but in reality, every action and expression was carefully designed!
Xie Zhuzhou stood aside, feeling a little uneasy. Although he knew that Chu Yanzhang might be quite skilled, he couldn't help but worry about his older brother, who had received rigorous training since childhood.
Ji Wangyan stretched his shoulders, his tone laced with a hint of provocation. " Mr. Chu, please enlighten me."
Chu Yanzhang smiled slightly and replied politely, "Third Brother, please give me your guidance."
Ji Wangyan was provoked by Chu Yanzhang's address of "Third Brother"!
"Who's your third brother! Have you no shame?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanzhang's smile became even more genuine.
Unable to contain his Ji Wangyan's fist flew straight at Chu Yanzhang's face with a sharp whistling sound. However, Chu Yanzhang simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging the attack. His movements were light, his steps steady yet agile.
Upon seeing this, Ji Wangyan was secretly surprised; this kid was indeed quite capable.
Xie Zhuzhou was quite surprised; it turned out that Little Yan wasn't lying when he said he could do it...
Perhaps because Chu Yanzhang was so handsome, Xie Zhuzhou kept his eyes on Chu Yanzhang the whole time and didn't even notice his equally handsome third brother.
As Ji Wangyan threw a punch, she sneered at Chu Yanzhang, "Someone like you probably couldn't withstand a punch from my brother. If he hits you, would you dare to fight back? Would you dare to dodge?"
Ji Wangyan's fist grazed Chu Yanzhang's face again, but Chu Yanzhang dodged it with ease as always. He laughed and said, "It's my honor to be hit by Zhouzhou."
"I'm speechless," Ji Wangyan exclaimed, "You're not a psychopath, are you?!"
Chu Yanzhang clearly ignored this part of the conversation, only replying with what he wanted to say, "Besides, why should I avoid it? Zhouzhou hit me because he cares about me."
Not to mention Ji Wangyan, Ji Wangyun also got goosebumps. He turned to look at his younger brother, Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou's face was now completely red.
Ji Wangyun was speechless. "Little brother, why don't you two go see a doctor? I think you're both quite ill."
Xie Zhuzhou reached out and grabbed his second brother's shoulder, pushing him aside. "Second brother, you're blocking my view. My wife is so handsome!"
Ji Wangyun was stunned upon hearing this, staring at Xie Zhuzhou's bewitched face with disbelief. "You mean, he, he's your wife?"
Xie Zhuzhou nodded.
Ji Wangyun felt there was no need to fight anymore. Since Chu Yanzhang was willing to be the one in the lower position, the Ji Family shouldn't make things difficult for him any further.
Ji Wangchen, standing to the side, also looked shocked. He never expected that his younger brother was actually... the one mentioned above.
Suddenly, the two older brothers below felt much better and stopped picking on Chu Yanzhang.
Ji Wangyun patted Xie Zhuzhou on the shoulder and whispered, "Be careful, don't hurt him."
Xie Zhuzhou didn't understand what his brother was talking about. He frowned slightly, but he didn't have time to care. He still wanted to admire Chu Little Yan's handsome fighting posture.
In ancient times, someone like Little Yan would have had to be at least a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations!
