The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Most of the flowers in the garden began to slowly fall after blooming. However, because they were well tended, there would be flowers blooming all year round.

She knew that she did not have the qualifications to say anything. Now that Duan Wenyu had settled in, she clearly did not have any status at all.

She had been thinking about this lately.

She also hoped that she was overthinking things and that in the future, she would give her child a blissful and complete family, but …

Duan Wenzhuo could not help but laugh bitterly.

When dusk approached, Tang Hongbo and Duan Wenyu entered the room one after the other. Duan Wenzhuo couldn't help but be startled when he saw them enter, as if he was that unnecessary person.

When they stood together, it was as if they were a pair of mummies.

She could not look anymore. Her heart felt as if it was being held down by something.

Only, Duan Wenyu's expression did not seem to be very good.

"Sister Wenyu, what's wrong? "Are you not feeling well?" Duan Wenzhuo asked softly.

No matter the reason, her feelings towards Duan Wenyu came from the bottom of her heart, because in the entire Duan Clan, she was the only one who would treat herself as a sister.

Duan Wenzhuo had never looked down on her and thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

She knew that Duan Wenyu also loved Tang Hongbo. This was a woman's intuition, it was just that because of her, she had never said it before.

"I'm fine." Duan Wenyu replied coldly, then walked around Duan Wenzhuo and headed straight into the room.

Duan Wenzhuo looked at Tang Hongbo, confused, and realised that he did not look too good.

She wondered if they had quarreled. Thinking of this, she could not help but ask.

"Did you have a fight?" Duan Wenzhuo pinched the corner of her clothes, smacked her head and asked softly.

Tang Hongbo snorted.

"Why do you look guilty when we're arguing?" In fact, Tang Hongbo's words were obviously meant to tease her, but he had no intention to listen.

Duan Wenzhuo thought that it was because of her that they had quarrelled. Thus, she could only nod her head and reply with "En.".

Then he turned around and put it back in the room.

"Where are you going?" Tang Hongbo's voice sounded out from behind him in displeasure.

Duan Wenzhuo immediately stopped and slowly turned her head.

"I'm a bit tired, let's go up and rest for a bit." Duan Wenzhuo found an excuse and quickly slipped away.

Seeing that she looked like a frightened rabbit, the corner of Tang Hongbo's mouth raised upwards, and then immediately thinking of Duan Wenyu, her eyes darkened.

In fact, in his heart, he had always treated her like that naive and kind little girl from before. It was just that she kept refreshing his understanding of her.

It was earlier than this that he was called away by an urgent phone from the company. However, he did not expect to see that Duan Wenyu was already sitting in his car the moment he stepped out of the door.

He was extremely displeased and told her to get out, but she refused to get out.

He had not said a word to her all day.

Therefore, when he returned just now, his expression was just that ugly, and his expression didn't seem to be any better.

Duan Wenzhuo had always thought that she was a good older sister, but she didn't know that Duan Wenyu was truly thinking this in her heart.

A few years ago, she could make Duan Wenzhuo take the blame, but now, it was the same.

During dinner time, when the three of them sat together, the most awkward person was Duan Wenzhuo.

She wasn't good with words, but the current arrangement made her want to say a few words. Unfortunately, her vocabulary was limited, and even if she racked her brain she couldn't think of anything to say.

"Hongbo, seeing how hard it is for you at work today, eat more. Don't you like to eat steamed vinegar fish the most?" Duan Wenyu actually opened her mouth first, after that she reached out her hand towards the bowl in front of Tang Hongbo and picked up a bowl of Steamed Braised Fish.

As they spoke, their expressions were filled with gentleness. Hearing that, Duan Wenzhuo could only lower her head and eat silently.

But a fish suddenly appeared in the bowl in front of her. She suddenly raised her head and saw Tang Hongbo looking at her indifferently.

"You're pregnant now and need more nourishment. I remember that you also like to eat this fish. I'll let the kitchen cook for a few more days tomorrow." Although it was a very normal speech, Duan Wenzhuo listened until her heart jumped out of her chest. Looking at the fish in the bowl, she didn't know if she should eat it or not.

If she ate it, she would not digest it, and if she did not, she would be killed by Tang Hongbo's gaze.

After weighing the pros and cons, she could only lower her head and eat it silently.

A look of awkwardness flashed across Duan Wenyu's face, but it quickly disappeared. She knew that this wasn't the time to fight Duan Wenzhuo head on, so she could only endure the unhappiness in her heart.

Then he continued to work hard.

"Hongbo, come, try this. This is something I learned from Aunt Liu new at night." Duan Wenyu said as he reached out to grab a piece of Red Braised Ribs into his bowl.

But who knew, Tang Hongbo would turn and look at Duan Wenzhuo.

"Didn't I see you learn to cook in the kitchen with the Aunt Liu at night? Which dish did you cook? " Tang Hongbo looked at the expression in Duan Wenzhuo's eyes, as if she could not refuse.

Duan Wenzhuo's current mental breakdown was something that she really wanted to quietly eat. Was it that hard? Why did she keep insisting on her late at night?

But when she looked at Tang Hongbo, who looked like he wanted to eat someone, she could only point at the dish placed on the table.

Tang Hongbo didn't even think as he reached out to pick up his chopsticks.

"Tonight, I'll eat this." The meaning in his words was very clear. Tonight, he only knew how to eat the dishes made by Duan Wenzhuo, and would not even taste the dishes cooked by others.

At this time, Duan Wenyu could no longer hold it back. She heavily placed the chopsticks in her hand on the table, her eyes filled with grievance and unwillingness.

"Hongbo, how can you treat me like this?" As Duan Wenyu said this, her tears flowed down.

Tang Hongbo said without batting an eyelid.

"Otherwise, how do you want me to treat you as my sister-in-law?" Tang Hongbo's tone was cold and hard, as if he was enduring something.

Aunt? Duan Wenyu started to tremble. Could it be that in his heart, his own position was that of a sister-in-law? That was impossible. She could not accept this setting no matter what.

"I'm done eating, I'm going to rest." Duan Wenyu's face was pale white, she got up and left.

Duan Wenzhuo looked at Duan Wenyu who had left, and felt a wave of sadness in her heart.

"Actually, you shouldn't have treated Sister Wenyu like this. Actually, she …" She really likes you. Duan Wenzhuo swallowed these words in her heart.

"Oh, what do you think I should do to my sister-in-law?" Tang Hongbo put down his chopsticks and stared straight at her.

Duan Wenzhuo felt a bit guilty for a moment. She understood in her heart that Tang Hongbo should not have treated Duan Wenyu like this, but she was unable to say it out loud.

"Duan Wenzhuo, don't randomly guess my thoughts. If your guess is correct, I don't mind, but if you're trying to make a wild guess, you should know the consequences." Tang Hongbo's words were a warning to her not to guess his thoughts.

Duan Wenzhuo was stumped for a moment. Did she agree to let Duan Wenyu stay in his place because he was unhappy? Isn't the only person he had been yearning for, Duan Wenyu?

Why was Duan Wenyu so close to him and yet he was not happy?

Seeing that he was scared witless of Duan Wenzhuo, Tang Hongbo laughed in his heart. This little girl, if he was not given a warning, she would not be enlightened.

"I don't understand your thoughts, but it's your fault if Sister Wenyu is unhappy." Duan Wenzhuo recalled the depressed look on Duan Wenyu's face when she left the dining table, and she was not happy at all.

"What is it? Does my job include having her happy? " Tang Hongbo felt a burst of discomfort in his heart whenever he mentioned Duan Wenyu.

But helplessly, Duan Wenzhuo had always thought that she was a good older sister, and he didn't want to make her sad, so he could only hide it from her, hoping that one day the little girl would be able to tell the difference between good and bad.

"That's not what I meant. Forget it, this is your problem anyway." What does it have to do with her? Duan Wenzhuo thought about it and decided to forget about it. After all, this was a matter between him and Duan Wenyu, so it would be inconvenient for him to say anything.

This meal tasted as good as chewing on wax.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Monday. Duan Wenzhuo had to go to work, so she would naturally get up early.

"You, why are you here?" Duan Wenzhuo exclaimed. She clearly remembered that he did not come to her room last night, so why did he appear on her bed in the morning?

Tang Hongbo pressed down on her with half a body, his voice hoarse and low.

"Let's sleep a bit more." He came in late at night, you know, and when he saw that she was asleep he didn't disturb her, so he went to bed with her in his arms.

"Sleep? What I want to ask is, why are you here?" Duan Wenzhuo struggled to get up from his embrace.

"Don't move, you know the consequences." The warning intention in Tang Hongbo's words was very obvious, Duan Wenzhuo did indeed know what he meant. Hearing his words, she did not move an inch.

"You, why are you here?" Duan Wenzhuo asked again after she quieted down.

"Are you a repeater? That's what you say in the morning. " Tang Hongbo closed his eyes and asked unhappily.

Duan Wenzhuo felt very tired.

"Let go of me. I'm going to work." Duan Wenzhuo could only change the topic.

"I'll send you off later." Tang Hongbo said, and still did not have the intention to get up.

After all, Duan Wenyu was not here, but Duan Wenyu was already living at home. If she saw her, what would she think about Duan Wenyu's explanation?

Although he did not care, but that did not mean that he did not care. It seemed that in the future, it was best for him to keep a distance from them.
