The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"Yes! I secretly hid your letter, and I had my parents go to the Gu family to suggest that you marry me. How could I be inferior to a country woman! Gu Cheng, let me tell you, don't think you're so much more noble than me. You know all this, so why did you marry me? And why don't you dare to divorce me? Hehehe! Isn't it because you're afraid of the Li family? You need to rely on the Li family to climb up the social ladder. Without me, Li Meng, Gu Cheng, you're nothing! Let me tell you, back then, the reason you were transferred back from the countryside was because the Li family hired people and spent money. Do you think the Gu family had that kind of power back then?!"

"..." Li Meng's words left Gu Cheng speechless. He owed Li Meng, which was why he had allowed her to do whatever she wanted in the Gu family all these years. But when he thought of Xie Huixin's words before she left, he couldn't help but regain his senses.

He couldn't let her lead him by the nose at this time, and he couldn't let her keep threatening him with the Li family. Besides, with the Sheng family in the future, he wouldn't need the Li family's help anymore. He didn't want to tolerate this woman in front of him at all.

"Even if your Li family helps me, I won't need your help anymore. Xie Huixin just said that Yun Shu and Huai Nan's marriage will proceed as planned, so your daughter will just have to sleep with someone else for free. Also, Yun Huan has already gotten together with Jianmin. Tomorrow, his family will come to discuss the marriage. We'll marry her off this month. If she doesn't marry him, she can get out of my Gu family. And you all, after raising you for so many years, you're all useless! None of you are good enough!"

After saying that, he stepped out, not to go back to his own room, but to the study. He felt disgusted by the woman's presence, and Gu Cheng would never sleep with her again.

Later, Gu Cheng realized that Yun Shu was missing. She must have known about their plan and escaped in advance. Gu Cheng sorted out his thoughts, but he still couldn't figure out what their purpose was. Why was Lele sleeping with Huai Nan instead of Huan Huan? After tonight, Gu Cheng completely gave up on his two daughters. They were both disgrace to the Gu family.

……

The next day, Yun Shu woke up feeling sore all over, as if she had been run over by a car. Her back ached, her legs were weak, and most importantly, her lower body was burning with pain.

Holding her forehead, she gradually recalled what happened last night. She remembered that Yun Le helped her out last night, and then it seemed that Ming Kun carried her into the car. Looking around, the room was very familiar. Wasn't this Ming Kun's bedroom? And she was still in his bed. Even if she was confused, she knew what had happened last night. She shyly covered herself with the blanket.

The blanket was filled with Mingkun's scent. He was a clean person, and the blanket, like him, was full of sunshine and masculine fragrance.

But Mingkun isn't here anymore. Could it be that this man ate her and then ran away?

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard footsteps and quickly closed her eyes again, not wanting to see him now. It was too embarrassing. She wondered if being drugged last night had made her bolder and more clingy to him, and whether he would think she was too open and daring, not a proper woman anymore.

Mingkun stood by the bed, watching Yun Shu pretend to be asleep; her eyelids had clearly twitched just now. He had just returned from buying breakfast and figured she should be awake by now. It was a little past eight, and he didn't want to go to work today; he wanted to stay home and keep her company.

Seeing that Yun Shu was pretending to be asleep, he figured she must be embarrassed and didn't want to get up. So he leaned down and gently kissed her lips. He only intended to kiss her once, but the more he kissed her, the less he wanted to leave, and he couldn't stop himself.

When the good morning kiss ended, both of them were breathless. Yun Shu couldn't keep up the act any longer, opened her eyes, and scolded, "Liu Mang, harassing me first thing in the morning..."

"Hehe... She's awake. Isn't this the fairy tale about the prince kissing Sleeping Beauty awake? I'll kiss my Sleeping Beauty too, and she's already awake." The deep, husky man whispered in Yun Shu's ear.

Yun Shu pushed him away, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Go out! I need to get dressed."

"I saw it last night, so don't be shy. How about I help you put it on?"

"No, I can do it myself." Yun Shu hurriedly pushed him away.

Although Xiao Mingkun couldn't see what was happening under the covers, just seeing her exposed, fair skin made his heart itch. Thinking of the wonderful night before, Yun Shu successfully rekindled the lingering desire within Mingkun.

"Yun Shu... how about we do it again..." Xiao Mingkun whispered in Yun Shu's ear.

"No, my body aches and hurts." Yun Shu refused outright. She wasn't kidding; she'd die!

"Mingkun, is this your first time too?" Yun Shu didn't have much of an impression of what happened last night, but she had really experienced what it was like between a man and a woman just now. It's just that Mingkun's technique was too good; he didn't seem like a novice at all.

“Of course it was the first time.” Seeing that Yun Shu seemed somewhat skeptical, Ming Kun coughed awkwardly and said, “It was when I went to Hua Zi’s house that I accidentally saw something on his computer…”

Mingkun didn't finish his sentence, but Yunshu understood what he had seen. So she grabbed his brother's arm and scolded, "You're not allowed to look at that stuff again..."

"I already have you, why would I look at those things? Besides, I only looked at them once. And if you pinch me again, I'll want you again." After saying that, he rubbed against Yun Shu.

Yun Shu gasped. This man was too... too vigorous! No, the two of them couldn't stay in bed any longer, or she would be in trouble again. Her lower body was burning hot, and she couldn't continue fooling around with him. She was going to die.

"Mingkun, let's get up, I'm hungry," Yun Shu said pitifully.

Upon hearing her words, Mingkun slapped his forehead and said, "I was just calling you to get up and eat. Now the food is cold, I need to heat it up before I can eat."

After Mingkun finished speaking, he took the clothes of the two people from the bedside and helped Yunshu put them on. Yunshu blushed and tried to get out of bed, but when she saw the dried bloodstain on the sheet, she immediately covered herself with the blanket again, but Mingkun still noticed.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Change and wash after you finish eating."

"No need, I need to keep this sheet."

Yun Shu stared at the man in disbelief, her face flushing uncontrollably as she cursed, "Pervert!" She quickly ran out, not wanting to be as crazy as him. She went next door but then returned to get her key—a key she used to keep with Ming Kun, but Gu Cheng had taken all hers. Xu Ya was at work today, and unsure if she would return, she locked the door.

She went to her room next door and hadn't returned for over a week. The room was still the same, unchanged. Xu Ya was saving money, and she wasn't allowed to buy anything new. Xu Ya cleaned the room regularly, and it was as clean as before. But now that she and Ming Kun had consummated their marriage, she knew he wouldn't let her live here anymore. Thinking about their relationship, she suddenly remembered that Ming Kun hadn't used protection last night. She calculated that she was still in her safe period, and a chill ran down her spine. She didn't want to get pregnant so soon, especially since the issues between the Gu and Sheng families weren't resolved yet.
