The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Never mind it, if this keeps up, I'll become impotent and turn into a eunuch sooner or later!" Mingkun looked at his brother, who was still swollen and unbearable, and was speechless. This was already the umpteenth time he had wanted to eat Yun Shu but couldn't. He was so angry that he wanted to smash his broken phone!

Just as he was about to ignore the annoying ringtone, it kept ringing again and again, as if Mingkun wouldn't give up until he answered it. Mingkun often had to go to construction sites for work, where it was very noisy, so he always set his ringtone to the loudest volume. At this moment, he regretted that he should have turned off his phone earlier. After struggling for a while, he finally got up and reluctantly reached for his phone in his pants to answer it.

Upon seeing Xiao Mingkun leave, Yun Shu immediately sat up and put her clothes back on.

When Mingkun saw that it was his home phone number, he quickly answered it.

"Mom! What did you say... Say it again! Who are you engaged to!" After hearing only a few words, Mingkun was shocked, as if he had misheard or there was something wrong with his ears and he hadn't heard clearly. He asked again in disbelief.

"You, your sister-in-law Manchun's younger sister Manyun, also graduated from university this year. Mom has been getting to know her these past few days and found her to be a really good girl, and she's very beautiful, no less so than Yunshu, and a perfect match for you. Your mom and dad also went to meet Manyun's parents, and they were very nice and agreed to the marriage between our family and you. So we didn't wait for you to come back; we got engaged to them right away!" Liu Yufen said happily on the other end of the phone. Her son's life-long happiness was finally about to be resolved, so how could the old couple not be happy?

"A engagement! I don't agree! Did you even ask for my opinion? And you arranged this for me while I wasn't home? Mom, are you even my own mother? What era are we living in? You can't... Hello! Hello... Mom, Mom..." The other end of the phone had already hung up.

Mingkun was furious. When he tried to call back, the phone was switched off.

Yun Shu, who was inside, also heard Xiao Mingkun talking to his mother. She listened carefully, and when she heard Xiao Mingkun mention engagement, her mind went blank. What was going on?

She didn't know how she got out. She stood blankly at the door of the inner room, quietly looking at Mingkun. Tears slowly gathered in her eyes until they filled her eyes and fell one by one.

Upon seeing Yun Shu like this, Xiao Mingkun panicked and hurriedly walked up to her, saying with some agitation, "Yun Shu, don't be sad. I don't know what happened to my mom and the others... Don't worry, I'll go back and deal with it right away. Be good! Don't cry! This... what the hell is going on! Why did they have to give me... Don't cry, it makes my heart race when you cry!"

Mingkun frantically tried to wipe away her tears, but Yunshu's tears only increased.

One moment the two were deeply in love and almost got married, but the next moment he heard his parents say that he was already engaged to another woman. How could Yun Shu not be shocked, heartbroken and angry?

Yun Shu started sobbing, making Ming Kun feel both distressed and angry. His parents had gone too far this time, and were incredibly domineering. Knowing he and Yun Shu were together and hadn't broken up, they suddenly pulled this drastic move, forcing him to separate from Yun Shu and also harming that woman named Manyun. He couldn't possibly want that woman; now, his only option was to go back, resolve the matter, explain things properly to the girl, and have both families peacefully annul the engagement.

"Come find me again after you've sorted things out!" Yun Shu cried for a while before calming down and saying this before pushing away Xiao Mingkun, who was standing in front of her, and leaving to go back to her room next door.

Mingkun watched her leave, but couldn't stop her or comfort her. This was a huge blow to Yunshu. Her parents' well-played hand had completely hurt her. She had thought that her parents wouldn't let her be with her, but she never expected that they disliked her so much that they got engaged to Mingkun so soon.

Xu Ya was knitting a sweater inside the house. As the weather was getting colder, Jin Yuan said he wanted a sweater that she had knitted, so she bought some yarn and knitted it when she had time.

When Xu Ya saw Yun Shu return looking distraught, she was startled and quickly put down the half-finished sweater she was knitting.

"Sis, what's wrong? Why are you back so soon?" She thought it would be a long time before she returned after their meeting, and weren't they supposed to be happy together? What's wrong with her sister's expression now?

Yun Shu didn't say anything, not even glancing at Xu Ya. She went straight back to her bed, lay down facing inward, and didn't want to talk to anyone.

When Xu Ya saw this, she thought it was serious! She had been here for almost three months and had never seen her so distraught. What had she done to Kun Ge to make her so lifeless and heartbroken that she wouldn't talk to anyone?

Xu Ya followed her into the inner room and saw her lying motionless on the bed. She felt a little anxious. She was not good at giving advice, especially when it came to matters of the heart. She was still quite naive and had only been dating Jin Yuan for a month. How could she know about the conflicts that could arise between lovers?

He sighed and went outside. He checked the time; it was almost five o'clock. Once outside, he ran to the bathroom and secretly made a phone call.

"Hey! Is that dead woman Xu Ruo still alive?"

"Just say what's wrong." Xu Ruo seemed down, her voice sounding somewhat disappointed, and she wasn't even interested in replying to Xu Ya's words.

"Xu Ruo, something happened to my sister. After seeing Brother Kun come back, she didn't say a word and just lay down on the bed. I asked her, but she didn't respond. I'm a little scared, so I called you to see if you could ask her anything." Xu Ya ignored the woman's strange behavior and told her about Yun Shu's situation directly.

"Are Ashu and Kun Ge having relationship problems too? Wait! I'm coming right away." After saying that, Xu Ruo hung up the phone and hurriedly went out to drive to Yun Shu's place.

Mingkun, watching Yunshu leave in disappointment, felt a strange sense of panic and unease. He realized his unreliable mother had really gotten him into trouble this time. He quickly grabbed a clean change of clothes and drove straight home.

His parents kept the engagement a secret from him, and even his sister didn't know. Otherwise, he would have spoken to his sister on the phone yesterday, and she didn't mention it, so she must not know either. Besides, his sister hasn't been back to her hometown for quite some time.

When Mingkun drove back, Xu Ruo also drove to Yun Shu's place. As soon as Xu Ruo came in and saw Xu Ya, she asked directly, "Where's A-Shu?"

Xu Ya said irritably, "She's lying on the bed inside. Go in and keep her company. I'll go out and buy you some dinner."

It was past five in the evening. Xu Ya's cooking skills were so bad that even she despised them, let alone cooking. She usually bought fast food outside, or cooked for Yun Shu when she had time to come back. Now that she wasn't feeling well, she had no appetite for cooking, so Xu Ya thought it would be better to just get takeout. Seeing Xu Ruo come over, she asked her to watch over Yun Shu while she went out.
