The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"If it's about buying a house or a car, Jin Yuan really needs to work harder. He doesn't have that much ability. He's only been working for a little over a year, and he spends money extravagantly, so he probably doesn't have much savings." After all, Jin Yuan is only twenty years old. It's already quite good for him to support himself. Even some people who have graduated for several years don't have any savings, let alone buy a house or a car.

"So let them spend time together. They're still young, and it'll be better if they get to know each other better over a couple of years before they can be together."

"Hmm! You're right."

Mingkun also felt that Jin Yuan and Xu Ya didn't need to rush into marriage. They were only twenty years old, unlike him and Yun Shu, who were both twenty-eight. They were mature and financially secure.

"I'm going to take a shower first." I'm a little tired and want to shower and go to bed early. I have to go to work tomorrow. What a miserable life.

"Yun Shu, wear that nightgown!" Ming Kun's eyes lit up when he heard her mention taking a bath, and the words slipped out unconsciously.

"Which one? Aren't all my pajamas the same?" She glanced at him sideways, vaguely knowing which one he was referring to.

"It's the one I saw before..."

"It's freezing! No way! It's over ten degrees Celsius at night. I'll definitely catch a cold if I wear that." She glared at Mingkun after saying that. She knew exactly what this man was thinking. He had taken advantage of her last night, and her private parts were still sore. She didn't want to argue with him.

Mingkun chuckled after being glared at by Yun Shu, and said nothing more.

That night, Yun Shu stayed in Ming Kun's room again. Just as he said, they were husband and wife, it would be strange if they didn't stay together.

Yun Shu repeatedly brushed away the man's hands that were messing with her, and said with annoyance, "Ming Kun, how can I sleep if you keep doing this? I'd better go sleep in the next room."

"Does it still hurt there? Should I put some medicine on it?" Mingkun heard her say that it hurt there in the morning, and now that she was so resistant, he was a little worried. He knew that Yun Shu had no reason to lie and not let him touch her.

"It's okay, just let me rest for a couple of days," Yun Shu said apologetically. As a doctor and a gynecologist, she knew best about that area.

Hearing Yun Shu say that, Ming Kun indeed calmed down. With time, he and Yun Shu would be together every day; there was no rush. Holding Yun Shu in his arms right now, he felt truly happy.

The two embraced quietly. Yun Shu thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but somehow she drifted off to sleep.

The next day, when Yun Shu woke up, Ming Kun was already up beside her. He had gone to buy breakfast. Yun Shu could still smell Ming Kun's scent on the blankets, which made her feel much more at ease.

After washing up, Mingkun returned.

Yun Shu gave him a glass of water and wiped his sweat. Now that the weather is cool, he often goes out to exercise early every morning and helps buy breakfast.

"I'm going to take a shower, you eat breakfast first." Mingkun kissed Yun Shu's fair cheek.

"It stinks! Go change your clothes quickly," Yun Shu said with disgust. Actually, he didn't smell at all. He was a very clean person, which could be seen from the fact that the room where this big man lived was very clean.

After Mingkun finished showering, the two ate breakfast, and Mingkun took Yunshu to work.

On the way, Yun Shu thought about how she had taken more than a week off. She didn't know how she would explain things to everyone when she got back to work. Gu Cheng was so capricious; he acted like the hospital was his own home. The hospital had been very busy lately, with many births and no beds available. Those who needed beds were temporarily placed in the corridor, and as soon as someone was discharged, they were quickly put in. And now he was just making things worse. The head doctor's impression of her was definitely going to suffer. Sigh! All her previous efforts had been for nothing; she'd have to start all over again.

"Why are you sighing?" Mingkun heard Yun Shu sighing. Just then, the red light came on, so he stopped the car and noticed that she looked a little unhappy.

"It's all because of Gu Cheng. He gave me so many days off, and the hospital is so busy. He's ruined all the good image I've been maintaining," Yun Shu muttered.

"It's okay, just say there was something going on at home and you couldn't not go back to help! We'll do better next time, sweetie, your face doesn't look good like that." He comforted her, holding her hand.

Yun Shu gently tugged at the man's hand. He's getting better and better at talking, but her words of comfort made him feel much better.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Yun Shu waved goodbye to him and returned to her familiar office. Her mood improved considerably; at least she could go to work again and was free. Even without the Gu family, she could support herself, and she would live a better life and a longer lifespan.

"Yun Shu, come to work! If you don't come, we'll be exhausted." The director didn't scold Yun Shu, acting as usual. The other people in the office also greeted Yun Shu.

Yun Shu was happy to respond to everyone's concerns one by one, and soon followed the director into the operating room.

On the other side, Xu Ruo struggled to get out of bed. Lately, she'd been sleeping in late, and by the time she woke up it was already 9 a.m. The weather wasn't cold yet; she didn't know what she'd be doing in winter. According to Xu Yang, it was incredible that such a lazy girl like her had a man as outstanding as Mingyuan who liked her; Xu Ruo must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her past life to have such a good life. Xu Ruo snorted, saying that Mingyuan was the one taking advantage of her young age; she hadn't even complained about his age. But it was alright, only five years older. She preferred mature men and had lost interest in younger women.

When she got up for breakfast, her dad had already gone to work. She ate only a few bites before losing her appetite and stopping. She felt very tired and listless, like she had caught a cold. But she didn't want to sleep anymore; the more she slept, the heavier her head felt. She decided to go for a walk to see if it would make her feel better.

I'll drive to the restaurant and check it out. Also, I'll transfer the money I got from buying jewelry and selling the house to Ashu these next couple of days; Ashu is short of money right now.

So the restaurant needs to be managed well. Fortunately, she has been keeping a close eye on things recently and has changed the style to serve mid-range dishes. Sure enough, business is slowly picking up. If they can maintain this level of performance this month, they can break even and make a small profit.

At this point, Xu Ruo had to admire Yun Shu's thoughtfulness; if running a high-end restaurant didn't work, she could change her style. As business gradually improved, she no longer needed to work so hard and come there so often.

As soon as Xu Ruo arrived at the restaurant, the waiter told her that two women were looking for her and had been waiting for her for quite some time.

Xu Ruo didn't know who would be looking for her, but she decided to meet them first. 21010
