Chapter 487: Zhou Hui Brings Up Marriage Registration Again

Zhou Hui was not socially inept, nor did she lack the ability to put on a show of courtesy. She had tried to ingratiate herself with Zhao Yun before, but he never reciprocated and often left her feeling embarrassed.

Over time, she stopped setting herself up for disappointment.

From an outsider's perspective, she might seem rather helpless, but as a stepmother unable to harmonize with her stepson, it was a reflection of her own shortcomings.

Or perhaps, she had never genuinely put her heart into handling this matter.

During the meal, Pei Yang and Zhao Dafa both drank quite a bit.

Shen Mingzhu first drove Zhao Dafa's family home, then turned around to pick up Pei Yang and his two sons from the restaurant.

Zhou Hui entered the room with a warm glass of honey water and woke the drunken Zhao Dafa.

"Dafa, get up and drink some water before you sleep."

Zhao Dafa slowly sat up from the bed, smiled hazily at Zhou Hui with bleary eyes, thanked her, and took the water to drink slowly.
