The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Ah Hao looked at the flowers she had grown with satisfaction; they were quite nice. As the sun began to set and another night was about to fall, a sense of melancholy crept over her. That man hadn't spent the night here in a long time…

Just as I was staring at it, the doorbell rang, and I went to open the door.

Upon seeing him, her furrowed brows immediately relaxed. It was him! She rushed into his arms.

"You've arrived!" Ah Hao said sweetly, linking her arm with Xu Yang's. She had been looking forward to his arrival for a long time, and her mood immediately improved. She had almost thought that he had forgotten about her.

"Hmm!" Seeing Ah Hao's beautiful and youthful face, he felt a little more at ease.

After Ah Hao came in, she quickly made Xu Yang a cup of hot tea and then sat down next to him.

"You haven't been here for a while..." she pouted, her tone slightly complaining, but it was impossible to dislike her.

"I've been busy lately. Aruo is getting married soon, so I'll probably be even busier." Xu Yang made an excuse. In the past six months, he felt increasingly old and didn't want to associate with these women anymore. He just wanted to stay at home quietly after get off work for some peace and quiet.

"Is Aruo getting married?" Ahao was a little surprised, but then she felt happy. That girl was finally getting married. Xu Yang often stayed at home with her because of her, so he didn't come here often. Besides, that girl was very domineering and never allowed other women into the Xu family.

Xu Yang sighed, "Yes! I really can't bear to part with her... In the blink of an eye, that girl has grown up... and gotten married. I feel a pang of sadness, reluctant to entrust my daughter to someone else's care."

"Then you're all alone at home, aren't you?" Ah Hao said, but she had a plan in mind. Then she looked at him boldly and said, "Why don't I move in with you? That way I can take better care of you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang immediately looked at A Hao with sharp eyes, no longer showing the pity he had when he entered the room. Indeed, time changes everything, and the same was true for the woman in front of him. She used to be very innocent, but people's greed expands with their desires, and they become increasingly dissatisfied with what they have and only want more.

After staring at her for a few seconds, he said, "Ah Hao, you know my rules. Even if A Ruo gets married, she will still live in the Xu family. Also... I won't be coming here anymore. This house was originally bought for you and put in your name as a gift... Find an opportunity in the future... to get married!" After saying that, he got up and left without any hesitation.

Human greed is insatiable; even the most wonderful person can change, so it's time to let go. Xu Yang never hesitates in his actions, always putting Xu Ruo first. He would never do anything that could harm his daughter. Keeping this woman as a mistress is already a huge disservice to Xu Ruo's mother.

But Ah Hao was holding her arm. "Don't go! I was wrong... I shouldn't have asked for so much. I... I've waited for so many years, and you haven't come recently, so I got anxious. Please forgive me, okay? I'll never have such thoughts again!"

Ah Hao regretted her suggestion to stay at the Xu family's house. She knew this man was heartless, but she still fantasized that she would be different. As a result, she couldn't stay by his side anymore.

Xu Yang brushed her hand away and said ruthlessly, "I told you to get married before, but you didn't want to. You chose to wait, not me. I've said it from the beginning: I, Xu Yang, will only ever have one wife—Aruo's mother. I've already wronged her. As the mistress of the Xu family, my wife can only be Aruo's mother. No one can take her away!"

"But she's been dead for so long, why can't you accept love again? Especially after Aruo gets married and has her own family, she won't be able to depend on you anymore. Won't you be lonely?"

"Hehe! I'm used to it. I can't let Aruo be sad and disappointed. You're still young, let yourself go and find a good man to marry again." After saying that, Xu Yang strode out the door. He would never come here again. This woman had been with him for several years and had given him a lot of money before. Now this house was hers too, and he didn't owe her anything anymore.

"I'm not young anymore, a woman in my early thirties, how can I compare to a young girl..." Ah Hao murmured to herself, her expression dazed. Her heart ached terribly. This man she had been with for over six years abandoned her just because she wanted to move into the Xu family home. It was her fault for being too hasty; she hadn't expected his resistance. That man had never considered her his woman. How foolish she had been! She also envied Xu Ruo's mother. What kind of woman was she that could keep a man of Xu Yang's status from remarrying for nearly twenty years, living alone until now?

Well, after all, he's treated her well over the years, been generous with his money, and now he's giving her this house. Even if she doesn't get married in the future, she can support herself. No matter how bad a woman's situation is, she can always find a way to make a living, and besides, she's not a stupid woman...

After Xu Yang came out, he told the driver to drive him straight home. He had no interest in going anywhere else. The series of setbacks had left him feeling exhausted, and he wanted to go home and lie down.

Xu Ruo was doing well in the hospital, except Mingyuan wouldn't let her use her phone and told her to rest more. But how could she fall asleep after sleeping so much? She secretly played games on her phone when Mingyuan wasn't around.

"Just kidding, it's just pregnancy, not like I'm crippled or have broken a leg. It's so boring to be stuck here all the time." Half an hour later, Yun Shu arrived.

"What's wrong? Why are you playing games again? If Mingyuan finds out, he'll be in trouble again."

"I made this secretly behind her back, so Ashu just shouldn't tell him. Otherwise, I'll be so bored here all by myself!"

"Even though she's a mother, she's still so troublesome."

"Mothers are women too, they still have their own private time! By the way, Ashu, when are you and Kun going to have a baby?"

“You ask this question about everything, and Xu Ya asked it too. You guys are even more anxious than I am. But I don’t want to have a child so soon. I just started working, and besides, I’m only twenty-three. It’s too early to have a child. I’ll wait at least two or three years.” Yun Shu still didn’t change her plans. Now was the time to focus on her work.

"Would Brother Kun agree?"

"You have no choice but to agree! He married me, and he's busy right now. Neither of us has any elders to help us, so we really don't know how we'll raise or take care of the child. We're not like you. Your dad is really good, and Mingyuan is very responsible." Yun Shu really thought Xu Ruo was very lucky.

"Don't be so envious of me. Do you think Kun treats you any worse than Mingyuan does? You two are both financially well-off. If you have a child, you can just hire a nanny to take care of him."

"It's better to take care of your child yourself when they're young, because they'll be closer to you. Besides, I don't feel comfortable leaving a young child with someone else. If I have a child, I'll take a year off to stay home and take care of them, and then hire a nanny when they're older."

"Tsk tsk, Ashu is indeed the type of virtuous wife and loving mother." Xu Ruo thought Yun Shu was truly a good woman.

The two talked for a while longer before Yun Shu had to go home after get off work.
