The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Back home, Manyun went to her room for a nap, and Jiajia also fell asleep. Mingkun talked to Minmin in the yard.

“Ah Kun, this is a difficult situation! This morning I privately asked Manyun to go home, but as soon as Mom heard she wanted to go back, she immediately objected. I think Mom has a very good impression of Manyun, and I can't find any fault with her. It's just a pity that you and Yunshu met so early, otherwise you two would be a good match. Just like Mom said, Manyun is a good girl and very virtuous. I was a bit too harsh on her this morning, and I feel bad about persuading her to leave. It's up to you to decide what to do next.” Minmin said helplessly. She had tried her best, but her mother just wouldn't agree, and she didn't know what to do for the time being.

"How am I supposed to choose?" Xiao Ming said with a self-deprecating laugh, never expecting things to turn out this way.

“Yes! If you choose Manyun, you’ll live a simple and peaceful life, and your parents will love you two together. But if you choose Yunshu, things will be very difficult for you. Both sets of parents will object, especially since your uncle told her fortune, and her fate is not good. It will be hard for your parents to accept that. You’ll be an unblessed couple…” Minmin stopped there, knowing that her younger brother would have a hard time making such a difficult choice.

But Mingkun answered almost without hesitation, "I want to be with Yunshu! It's rare to meet someone I like, and I don't want to lose her. Besides, if I met a girl like Manyun, I would have taken her home long ago instead of waiting until now. I don't want to spend my future facing someone I don't love every day. If I'm in pain, she'll be in pain too. Why hurt both of us? Moreover, I've never wanted to compromise myself. My life doesn't involve 'compromise,' otherwise I wouldn't have left the army!" His face was firm and resolute, so stubborn that no one could stop him from making his choice.

"Ah Kun, does Yun Shu deserve this from you? You're willing to turn against your parents. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Looking at her determined younger brother, Minmin felt a little sorry for him. Their marriage had been fraught with difficulties, hurting both of them. What if they regretted it later?

"It's not a matter of whether it's worth it or not, it's just that once I've encountered it, I don't want to miss it. If I miss it, I'd rather remain unmarried for life!" he said domineeringly.

After Mingkun finished speaking, Minmin fell silent. She realized that he was already deeply in love and had fallen for him. All she could do was wish him well!

Man Yun, who overheard their conversation from inside the room, covered her mouth tightly, afraid to cry. She couldn't believe that Kun Ge had such a deep relationship with the woman outside, so deep that he didn't even want to get married if he lost her. What about her? What should she do?

Her parents have already told the relatives about her engagement to Kun Ge. If the engagement is broken off now, how will she face people in the future? Why does he still reject her even though his parents think she's wonderful and good enough for him? Is Yun Shu, whom they call Yun Shu, really that good that Kun Ge would go to such lengths for her?

She had excellent grades since childhood, was competitive, and went on to earn a bachelor's degree. She had a good job, but when her older sister, knowing she had liked Kun for years, called to ask if she wanted to marry him, she answered yes without hesitation. Her sister then told her she and their mother would arrange it. Not long after, Kun's parents visited her and learned about her family situation.

Later, the two families got engaged. The aunt said that Kun was very busy and would be away on business trips, so the engagement ceremony wouldn't be big; the two families would just exchange gifts, and a grander ceremony would be held when the two got married. She believed him without a doubt, thinking that Kun also agreed to marry her. Unexpectedly, things took a sharp turn for the worse. Kun had a woman he liked outside, and for that woman, he wanted to break off the engagement.

Tears streamed down her face as she tried to hold them back, but she wasn't about to give up so easily. The road ahead was still long, and she didn't know if it would be a smooth highway or a rugged, muddy path. She couldn't just give up like that. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes before she quietly went upstairs.

In the courtyard, under the shade of the trees, Minmin went in to check if Jiajia had kicked off her blankets, while Mingkun, alone, watched the big dog Dacai lying obediently at his feet. He stroked its fluffy head, but his thoughts drifted back to his time in the army. He remembered how, after military training, everyone would talk about what their future wives would be like. Back then, Mingkun was determined to find someone he loved, not someone he didn't like to please his family or elders, and spend his life with someone he didn't love. He thought of Yunshu, wondering what that woman was doing right now…

……

On the other hand, since it was the weekend, Yun Shu and Tie Tou went to the building materials market. Yun Shu took advantage of the free time to start decorating her and Ming Kun's new house.

She had found a design, one she had spent a long time choosing online and then spent even longer designing it on her computer, adding the areas she wanted to include and the practical features. However, Yun Shu realized she really didn't know anything about building materials, so she asked Tie Tou to go to the building materials market with her to check out the materials.

Tie Tou was very familiar with the area and took her to several of his usual shops to choose items. The prices were all based on Mingkun Company's usual wholesale prices. Yun Shu was secretly relieved that she had come with someone she knew; otherwise, she wouldn't have known she was being ripped off. While she was buying goods, others were also buying them, but at much higher prices.

After selecting the main materials for the renovation, Yun Shu let Tie Tou decide on the rest, as she wasn't a professional in or knowledgeable about some of the necessary items.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Leave the house to us brothers, and it won't be long before it's renovated." Tie Tou comforted her. After getting to know this woman, he knew that his brother Kun hadn't made a mistake in choosing a woman. Yun Shu was a very good person, otherwise she wouldn't have looked down on them, these uncultured and rough men.

Hearing Tie Tou's words, Yun Shu hurriedly said, "It's okay, there's no rush. You guys should handle your more urgent projects first. Don't work overtime. If you get too tired, it won't be worth it, and Ming Kun will blame me. Oh, by the way, I'll buy some things later, you can take them to eat." After the two left the building materials market, Yun Shu saw a place that sold roast duck.

Yun Shu walked over, bought two directly, and handed them to Tie Tou.

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. It's only right that they help us. There's no need to be so nice to them," Tie Tou said somewhat awkwardly, thinking to himself that Yun Shu was indeed being too polite.

Tie Tou specially hired skilled and reliable people to renovate Yun Shu's house, as it was Kun Ge and Yun Shu's wedding home and they couldn't afford any accidents.

Yun Shu watched them work all morning and knew they were very dedicated. With them around, she didn't need to worry about the house renovation; she could just come over to check on it after get off work. "You've worked so hard! I'll treat you to a big meal when the renovation is finished!"

Hearing Yun Shu's words, the group couldn't help but laugh and say, "Sister-in-law, we brothers are in for a treat again! Brother Kun is always very good to us." Their Brother Kun has always been very generous to them.

Yun Shu smiled but did not answer. After the two parted, Yun Shu went to find Xu Ruo. It was said that this woman had lost interest in the past few days and was breaking up with Chen Mingyuan. She wondered what had happened.

Yun Shu hailed a taxi, gave the driver an address, and the car dropped her off at the Xu family's door.
