The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

After hearing Mingkun's words, Minmin silently shed tears. The events of over three years ago still cast a deep shadow over everyone. Minmin felt once again that she had let her family down…

"I'm going to take a shower now. I'll call you another day. Oh, and tell Jiajia that her aunt and uncle miss her."

"Okay, I understand." Minmin hung up the phone, looking at Jiajia doing her homework in the living room, her eyes filled with a strange tenderness. She didn't expect to meet another good man, but she had to do her best to raise her daughter well.

Mingkun hung up the phone, took a shower, and went to look at the engineering drawings. He still needed to keep a close eye on several major projects recently. Their newly established company could not afford any mistakes, otherwise their reputation would be affected, and they would not be able to gain a foothold in the industry.

At Xu Ruo's house, Yun Shu had injured her foot and could only wipe herself down a bit before coming out. Fortunately, the weather wasn't as hot as before, and she didn't sweat much during the day. Seeing Xu Ruo lying motionless on the bed, she went over and found that he was asleep.

"Ah Ruo, wake up, why are you sleeping here?" After calling her a few times, Xu Ruo slowly woke up, looking at Yun Shu with sleepy eyes.

"You're all done showering? That's strange, I just wanted to lie down for a bit but I ended up falling asleep."

"You, have you been running around everywhere lately? You haven't gained weight, you've actually lost some, and your complexion isn't very good." Her face was getting thinner and thinner, clearly showing that she had lost weight.

"Really? I haven't done anything lately! Wait, this morning... Oh well! Never mind that, let's talk about you first!" Thinking about how she played games until late last night, went to see Mingyuan this morning, and the two of them were so passionate in his office, her face started to flush. She also went to Ashu's place in the afternoon and didn't get a nap, so she was sleepy now.

Yun Shu didn't notice Xu Ruo's unusual expression. "Mingkun and I have already registered our marriage. Let's see how he handles this! If he doesn't handle it well, I will divorce him!"

“Ashu…”

“I know his difficulties, but I don’t want to wrong myself. We’re already married, but we can’t go public with it. Of course, there are reasons related to my family, but I can’t accept that his whole family rejects me. Even if Mingkun treats me very well, I will still feel uneasy and live in fear and panic every day.”

"My Mingyuan is still the best. He's an orphan, oh wait, now he has Xiaoqiu's half-sister, Ashu! You don't know, when I found out this morning, I didn't expect them to be like this. I bet Xiaoqiu will be devastated when she finds out Mingyuan is her brother. She's trying to steal my man, and even God isn't on her side, haha! But... considering she'll be Mingyuan's sister from now on, I'll try to treat her better."

"Aruo, did Mingyuan say anything about him becoming an orphan? His mother is still alive, isn't she?"

"Hmph! That woman is not qualified to be Mingyuan's mother. According to Mingyuan, after his father passed away, his mother stopped raising him, abandoned him in an orphanage, and ran away. She never visited him again, and soon after, she remarried and had that damned Xiaoqiu."

"Oh, I see. Mingyuan has had a tough time too. By the way, Aruo, he told you all about his family. Have you two thought about when to get married?" Yun Shu looked at Aruo, who was reclining on the bed with one hand propped up, looking very relaxed. She realized that Aruo was always like this. Even if she had troubles, she would forget about them after a couple of days and start having happy days again. Yun Shu truly envied Aruo and wished that Aruo could always be like this, unlike her, who had so many troubles.

Marriage? Xu Ruo had never thought about such a thing. "I haven't considered marriage yet, and he's never mentioned it either. It's just that my father keeps urging me, afraid that Mingyuan will run away or be seduced by another woman. But, I think we should just make do like this for now and go for it when the time is right. Why get married so early? You have to have children, raise them, and take care of your in-laws. It's really tiring. This world is already unfair to women. Menstruation every month is already tormenting women half to death, and after marriage, there are still so many things to do."

"Hehe, you! It's a good thing that Mingyuan's family is simple. If you marry him, it's like you won't have a mother-in-law to serve. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of childbirth! It hurts! Watching women give birth on TV, even though some celebrities act it out, I have to say, Shu, you work in the OB-GYN department, is childbirth really that painful?" Xu Ruo was terrified just thinking about the scenes of childbirth.

"Now there's painless childbirth, which is a C-section! It's okay, it's just that the first and last three months of pregnancy will be a bit tough." Yun Shu smiled at Xu Ruo. It wasn't easy for this girl to ask about the baby; she would never have asked about this topic before.

"I don't want to give birth! It still hurts."

"Aruo, let me ask you a question. Did you and Mingyuan have anything going on?" Yun Shu was a little embarrassed to say the rest.

"You want to ask if we used condoms, right? What's there to be embarrassed about? It seems like you used them every time except the first time. He's a doctor, he's more careful than me. Wait... go... ah! It's nothing."

Xu Ru thought back to that morning. It seemed that Mingyuan hadn't worn a mask at all. He hadn't expected to run into her. Besides, why would he keep such a thing in his office? Xu Ru suppressed her panic. However, her period had only just ended, so she should still be in her safe period. She decided to ignore it. Moreover, her constitution was like her mother's, making it difficult for her to get pregnant. So, after thinking it through, she wasn't afraid anymore. She wouldn't be so unlucky as to get pregnant.

"Aruo, if you don't have plans to get married anytime soon, you should still take precautions. Every day there are people getting abortions at the hospital, sigh! It's really upsetting to see, some of them are even middle school students, it's so harmful to their bodies and disrespectful to their lives. But actually, Aruo, it would be good if you got pregnant, then you could get married sooner, your dad would probably be very happy."

"No way, I don't want to get pregnant so soon, hmph! You stinky Ashu, you should think about what to do to Kun Ge next, and see how he deals with his white lotus 'fiancée'."

"What fiancée? I have my reservations, otherwise I would have shown them our marriage certificate long ago." He directly repelled the enemy.

"Yeah! Ashu, why don't you just show us your marriage certificate? Then there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
