The enchanting duke's only wife

Chapter 65 Father's love is like a mountain (2)
Although Li Juan was a little annoyed, she still didn't dare to attack because of Xu Nuo's status.He just softly ordered the servants to prepare refreshments, and then invited them to sit down in a rather hostess manner.Zhong Xiu, on the other hand, looked at Ye Jue and Xu Nuo's direction seemingly unintentionally, his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.No one mentioned Zhong Nuan's name.They tacitly knew that Ye Jue had brought a great Buddha that they could not shake.

"I don't know if the Duke came to visit because of..."

"Wrong." Ye Jue interrupted Zhong Yan who was asking the question, "It should be said that he condescended to come here."

"Yes, what's the matter with condescending to come to our Zhong's house?" Zhong Yan looked at his promise with cold eyes, wondering if he had offended him just because of such a sentence.

"I heard that my dear J is your daughter? So, as a prospective son-in-law, let me visit my father-in-law."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present...except of course the calm and wily Duke...were stunned.

To say such big words in a serious manner, His Excellency the Duke must have planned it long ago.But what Ye Jue didn't know was that the evolution to such a situation had a lot to do with herself.Xu Nuo underestimated the severity of the Zhong family's attitude towards Ye Jue.In his eyes, such a relationship without quarreling but undercurrents made him even more worried.

It was almost in such a strange way that he said such a sentence.He wanted to protect her, even in this way.As long as...she doesn't refuse.

After Xu Nuo finished speaking, she looked at Ye Jue tenderly, full of affection, which made her mouth dry for a while.Quickly avert your eyes, and hurriedly said: "When did you learn the word son-in-law!"

The tone is full of coquettishness.

Zhong Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was the Duke who admitted his father-daughter relationship with Ye Jue so easily or why.

"That's what you said! We are just ordinary civilians, and it is our blessing to have you as our son-in-law!" Li Juan smoothed things over with a smile.

"Mrs. Zhong, you are Mr. Zhong's current wife, so I call you that. However, I don't think you have any direct or indirect relationship with me. Since her surname is Ye, then my mother-in-law will only be from the Ye family." Xu Nuo said disapprovingly, seeing Li Juan's face became very embarrassing.

The servant served the tea in a timely manner. It can be seen that the Zhong family spent a lot of money to prepare the high-grade black tea and English-style refreshments that no one in the Zhong family usually drinks, which is exquisite and delicious.Ye Jue ignored the promise and just picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but he still couldn't cover up her elegant posture, which made Zhong Xiu who was watching him jealous.

"What's the hurry?" Xu Nuo took out a handkerchief embroidered with weird patterns and helped Ye Jue wipe the corners of her mouth. Seeing her suddenly stiff body and the unbelievable eyes, she couldn't help but smiled and didn't explain.

"The handkerchief that the Duke uses is handmade?" Zhong Xiu asked suddenly, "Embroidery?"

"Correct."

"I don't know why you keep such a failed product? This kind of embroidery would be ridiculed in China." Zhong Xiu thought that Ye Jue lied to him that this is the original appearance of embroidery, and smiled smugly.

"Whether a work fails or not has nothing to do with a third party, as long as the person who owns the work likes it. And I like this work very much."

"So that's how it is." Zhong Xiu stood up carefully, poured a cup of black tea for Xu Nuo and handed it to him, "Come on, Your Excellency Duke, please have some tea too."

"Thank you." Xu Nuo didn't refuse, but didn't drink after taking it.

"Is the tea not to your taste?" Zhong Yan asked.

"No, it's just that I drank a lot today, so I don't really want to drink anymore." Xu Nuo became polite for the first time, causing Ye Jue who was beside him to look at him suspiciously.

This fox must be planning something when he is being honest.

Sure enough, Zhong Xiu took the bait when he said this: "Master Duke, I heard that you are the boss behind JN's design?"

"you can say it this way."

"Since... my sister can work in JN, can I also go? I want to work with my sister!" Zhong Xiu showed an incomparably "friendly" smile to Ye Jue, which made her back shiver.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Nuo tilted his head and looked at her, making Zhong Xiu blush and heartbeat.

Ye Jue was vaguely unhappy, but didn't say anything.She trusts him, at least she won't hurt herself.

"In fact, I have always been interested in design, but I have only one child in my family these years, so I have to inherit the family business. But now that my sister is back, I can relax a bit and pursue my dream. I hope the Duke will give me this opportunity. It will be better for us two sisters to take care of each other." Zhong Xiu tried her best to sit upright, but the difference between her makeup and professional attire was so different that Ye Jue found it very funny.

Li Juan naturally knew her daughter's intentions, and said with a proud smile: "Hey, my lord, although I am not your mother-in-law, Xiaoxiu and Ye Jue are real sisters, and they have a good relationship! So... you see So, is it to give our Zhong family a face and let Xiaoxiu go to work with her sister? These years, we also owe Xiaoxiu for letting her give up her dream and spend time in this family."

"I understand." Xu Nuo nodded, "Then, let's report to the company next week."

"Thank you, Lord Duke, I will do a good job!" Zhong Xiu nodded happily, watching the change of Ye Jue's face with satisfaction.

Ye Jue gently tugged on Xu Nuo's clothes to signal that he was not satisfied, but Xu Nuo pretended to be fine and just asked her if she wanted some tea.She glared at him sullenly: "Let's go back and talk about it!"

"Xiao Nuan, since the Lord Duke has said so, you can stay here in the future, after all, it's still your own home!" Zhong Yan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

Ye Jue was originally a little unhappy because of the "show" he promised to Zhong Xiu just now, but this made him even more angry.She didn't want to admit that Zhong Yan was her father at all, let alone forgive him.

"I won't go back to Zhong's house. My surname is Ye, don't you remember?" Ye Jue said coldly.
