The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Yun Shu went to get lunch. Although it was lunchtime, Yun Shu wasn't hungry, but seeing the table full of delicious food made her hungry. Besides, it was cooked by Ming Kun himself. If Aruo were here, she would definitely be very happy.

He picked up a piece of meat from the belly of the fish, which was tender and had few bones, and gave it to Yunshu.

After finishing her meal, Yun Shu gave a thumbs up and said, "Why is it that your fish tastes better than mine? Ming Kun, it's a real shame you're not a chef."

“What’s a pity? Wouldn’t it be great if I could be your personal chef from now on? You’re happier than Xu Ruo in this respect. Chen Mingyuan can’t even cook,” Mingkun said smugly.

"They have a chef, but I am indeed better than Aruo. Ah Luo said that the chef's cooking is not as good as the family's cooking, haha."

Yun Shu always said that one is obligated to others for their food, so this meal was a way of bribing her, making her feel better and less angry with Ming Kun.

In the afternoon, Yun Shu and Ming Kun didn't do anything. Yun Shu wrote some drafts, while Ming Kun looked at engineering drawings. At four o'clock, Yun Shu saw that it was almost time and had to go to the Gu family's place.

Mingkun took her there and was about to carry Yunshu downstairs, but Yunshu refused to do anything.

Her foot didn't hurt much anymore, though it was bruised and swollen, but it was better than yesterday. Mingkun took her bag and led her downstairs.

Yun Shu wanted to avoid the misunderstanding that she was a promiscuous woman, since the two of them had not yet publicly announced their marriage. Especially with Chen Manyun coming again, the three of them were in an awkward and special situation.

Mingkun drove Yunshu to the entrance of the military compound. Xiao Mingkun looked at Yunshu sitting in the passenger seat. He felt a little reluctant to part with her. There were so many dirty secrets in wealthy families, and Yunshu was facing them all alone. He was very worried, and he couldn't help her. For the first time, he felt so weak. If he were powerful, whether rich or powerful, Yunshu's father wouldn't have objected to their marriage.

“Be careful once you’re inside. Call me if you feel wronged. If your dad won’t let you come with me, let me meet with him and I’ll try to persuade him.” Xiao Mingkun didn’t want Yun Shu to suffer any injustice or harm. He would rather face Gu Cheng himself to resolve things between him and Yun Shu.

“You don’t understand him. Sometimes I feel that he’s a decent father, but as long as his interests and future are affected, especially if there are obstacles blocking his promotion, he’ll turn against even his own family. It was because of his repeated compromises that my mother died of depression, and I could only stay there as the adopted daughter of the Gu family.” As Yun Shu finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. Only in his arms did she dare to cry.

Mingkun looked at her apologetically and wiped away her tears. He felt terrible when Yunshu cried; he felt both heartache and helplessness.

"Don't cry. Go inside and talk to him properly. If he doesn't agree, don't force him. We'll take it slowly." Anyway, the two of them are already married. If you don't tell him about the marriage certificate, his objection won't matter.

"So I want to wait until the right time to tell him about our marriage, but it probably won't be long. Sheng Huainan is back, and I need to persuade him not to marry me." Yun Shu looked at Xiao Mingkun apologetically; she was also in a difficult situation.

Mingkun shook his head and said, "It's alright, I believe in you. I'm already sorry that I can't help you and you have to fight this battle alone."

Yun Shu looked at Ming Kun. She had never dared to keep this man deep in her heart, never dared to love him with all her heart, for fear that one day they would be separated by difficulties and she would be deeply hurt. After all, this man was the first man she had ever loved in both her lives.

Mingkun lowered his head and kissed her passionately for a long time before letting her go.

Finally, Yun Shu reluctantly got out of the car, waved goodbye to him, and her lover was behind her. The gate in front of her would lead to a different life, a different destiny. Unfortunately, Yun Shu did not have any expectations for it. It was as if there were ferocious beasts inside, making her hesitate. But no matter how much she didn't want to face it, she still had to. So Yun Shu reluctantly went in.

Mingkun watched her figure disappear into the residential area before reluctantly driving away. Once she went inside, they would be separated for a few more days. He needed to settle Chen Manyun's matter now; he couldn't let Yunshu continue to suffer. Although it was because of her mother, and he didn't want her to have another relapse, he couldn't keep making Yunshu cater to him. Yunshu had already been good enough. As for her engagement, she didn't know beforehand, so he couldn't blame her. He also felt sorry for her having gone through so much recently, especially with her injured foot. He hoped Gu Cheng would agree to their marriage, considering Yunshu was also his daughter.

After dealing with Chen Manyun's matter, he would work hard to earn money. He wanted to give Yunshu a comfortable life so she wouldn't have to work so hard and worry about everything. Their wedding house was already furnished, and they planned to move in after announcing their marriage. It was better for the couple to live together. Besides, Yunshu had always wanted her own house, a home of her own, and he would do his best to fulfill her every wish…

……

Mingyuan usually finishes get off work at 4 PM, but he's on the early shift today, so he can leave early. Yesterday, Xu Ruo's father, Xu Yang, said he wanted to see him, so we'll go see him now.

Mingyuan drove his own car. Xu Yang's company wasn't far from the hospital; it only took about ten minutes to get there.

Mingyuan drove the car into the garage and looked up at the building. It was a tall building of more than twenty stories, which looked very tall and magnificent. The Xu Group had been famous in Nancheng for more than ten years. In particular, Xu Yang had started from scratch. Fortunately, with the help of Xu Ruo's maternal grandfather, and with Xu Yang's hard work, he entered the list of Nancheng's richest people in less than five years and continued to lead the way. It has to be said that Xu Yang was very good at doing business when he was young and seized the opportunity of the economic boom. In some ways, Xu Ruo was just like Xu Yang, and she was very talented in doing business.

Upon arriving at the front desk, he stated that he wanted to see the chairman of the board. The receptionist immediately made a phone call and directed Mingyuan to the chairman's office on the ninth floor.

Mingyuan took the VIP elevator that Xu Yang usually used and went up smoothly. When he arrived at the office door, Xu Yang's secretary, upon hearing that it was Mingyuan, immediately knocked on the door for him.

They only went in after Xu Yang inside told them to.

"sit down!"

Xu Yang was reviewing documents, and he looked quite different from how he usually did. Xu Ru was the same way; when she was focused on her work, you couldn't tell she was the crazy person she usually was. After a few minutes, Xu Yang finally stood up from behind his desk and walked to the sofa in front of him, where Mingyuan was making him tea.

Xu Yang looked at Mingyuan across from him. This young man was outstanding in every way. He really couldn't bear to lose him as his son-in-law.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"
