The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

The noise outside woke Mingyuan up. He frowned for a moment but quickly relaxed, as if he knew who was knocking. He immediately put on his pajama pants, walked quietly to the door, and opened it.

"Daddy..." What came into view was a very cute three-year-old girl, fair-skinned and wearing pajamas, her hair still messy, rubbing her eyes, her nose twitching from crying, looking pitiful, I wonder how long she had been standing outside the door.

"An'an, what's wrong?" He picked up his daughter and lovingly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mom and Dad didn't sleep with An'an again, An'an doesn't want to sleep alone," the three-year-old said hesitantly while wiping away his tears.

"But An'an has grown up and become brave; she needs to learn to sleep alone!"

"Then An'an doesn't want to grow up, boohoo..." She hugged Mingyuan's neck tightly with her two little hands and started crying again.

"Okay, baby, Daddy will sleep with you tonight. Daddy will change his clothes first. You stay with Mommy for a while. Daddy will have breakfast with you later."

"And Grandpa too!"

"Yes! An'an is the most filial." He wiped away the tears from his daughter's eyes. The little girl's eyes were red from crying, like a little rabbit. It broke his heart.

Xu Ruo reluctantly sat up. The conversation between the father and daughter at the door kept her awake. She must have owed them something in her past life. Mingyuan had been away on a business trip for a week and hadn't let An'an sleep with her last night. She was kept up until the early hours of the morning and had only slept for a few hours before the little brat started making noise again.

Mingyuan carried An'an to the bed. When the little guy saw Xu Ruo yawning naked, he happily said, "Mommy is so shy, she's not wearing any clothes."

Xu Ruo then exclaimed in surprise. The two of them had been up late last night and had fallen asleep immediately. They hadn't expected the child to come in, so she quickly wrapped herself in a blanket.

"Get dressed!" Mingyuan found Xu Ruo's embarrassed and annoyed look amusing, so he opened the wardrobe, took out the clothes she needed, and brought them to her.

She then took a set of clothes into the bathroom to change. Since An'an came into the picture, things have become much less convenient when the two of them are together. Xu Ruo also rarely goes out anymore, occasionally visiting her bar or restaurant before returning home.

Mingyuan stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes, then came out after changing his clothes and washing up.

Seeing that Xu Ruo hadn't changed her clothes yet and was still sitting listlessly, as if she hadn't slept enough, she noticed that Xu Ruo was still sitting there.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll take An'an to the neighbor's to change her clothes and go eat."

"Hmm... I need to take another nap... my eyes are so sleepy..." Xu Ruo yawned again. She took off her coat, which she hadn't put on properly, and lay down to continue sleeping.

Mingyuan saw her languidly like a cat, especially since she had given birth; her hair had grown long, making her even more sexy. This was only because she had endured so much hardship during her pregnancy with An'an, and after giving birth, she cried bitterly upon learning about Yun Shu's situation, which was why she hadn't gained weight.

Seeing her lie down, he didn't want to disturb her. He felt a little guilty for having too much last night, but he had taken good precautions and didn't want her to get pregnant again. Even though his father, Xu Yang, often reminded them intentionally or unintentionally that they didn't need to worry about the business plan, Mingyuan insisted on being a good citizen of Nancheng and that one child was enough.

I picked up An'an and took her next door to change her clothes.

"Sir, do you need my help?" Chun Chun, the Xu family's maid and An An's nanny, saw Ming Yuan carrying the child in. She had just come in and discovered that the child was missing, and she was worried about it.

"No need, you go ahead and do your work, I can do it myself," Mingyuan said. He had changed An'an's clothes many times before, and had even changed her diapers, making him a very competent dad.

Chun Chun shook her head. Her son-in-law was good-looking and a director at the hospital. He doted on his wife and children. Look, her daughter was still sleeping. Her son-in-law usually took care of the child. She was incredibly lucky!

Chun Chun sighed and went downstairs to prepare An An's breakfast.

Mingyuan put An'an on the bed and saw the clean clothes Chun Chun had prepared for her earlier. It was March, so she was wearing light spring clothes. He quickly dressed An'an, put her in a chair, and combed her hair. The little one, like her mother, had beautiful, fine, and smooth hair.

She styled her hair into a simple bun, then clipped the stray strands with two cute hair clips. Xu Ruo once praised her hands, saying they were beautiful—hands that had performed surgery, yet they could still tie a child's hair, and even better than her!

After tidying up the child, there was a very beautiful and adorable doll, his daughter, who thought she was incredibly pretty. As expected of her daughter, although only two and a half years old, she was very clever. Xu Ruo sometimes couldn't handle her, lamenting why she hadn't given birth to a son; her little Conan was gone.

Mingyuan watched as the little guy left a good morning kiss on his cheek and said thank you, Daddy. An'an is very well-behaved and polite.

Then I picked him up and prepared to take him downstairs for dinner.

They are now living in the Xu family's house. Since the child was born, Xu Yang has been preventing them from moving out, citing the need to make it easier for them to see his granddaughter.

Mingyuan later decided to let it go for Xu Ruo and the child's sake, and stopped worrying about saving face. After all, he was very busy with work, and it would be better for Xu Ruo and the child to stay at the Xu family's house.

As Xiao An'an grew up day by day, Xu Yang doted on her even more, setting up a growth fund for her so that they didn't have to worry about her daily needs.

This made Mingyuan somewhat unhappy, but since he couldn't resist Xu Yang, the matter was eventually dropped.

When I went downstairs, I saw Xu Yang reading the newspaper; he had already eaten breakfast.

"Dad." After putting An'an down, the little one ran happily into her grandfather's arms, not minding at all.

"Hmm! You're up so late today, did you skip work?" Xu Yang asked Mingyuan, who rarely sleeps in.

"No, it's the afternoon shift." He didn't want to go to work either; he'd stayed up late last night. He'd have to take another nap later.

"Let's go eat. Is Aruo still sleeping?"

Mingyuan nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

“This child is outrageous. She always sleeps in late. She was like this before she got married, and she’s still the same now. It’s only because Mingyuan is good that she doesn’t have any in-laws to take care of her. Otherwise, what family would dare to have a daughter-in-law like this?” Xu Yang sighed, once again feeling ashamed that his daughter was too lazy.

"Grandpa, Mom is fine, she just doesn't like me sleeping with Dad." The little guy realized that he was probably talking badly about Xu Ruo, so he spoke up to defend himself.

Mingyuan looked at his daughter, both amused and exasperated; the more he explained, the worse it got.

"An'an, you can't be as lazy as your mother in the future!" Xu Yang thought to himself that he must teach An'an well and not let her become another Xu Ruo.

Little An'an is still young and doesn't quite understand what adults are saying, but she still said, "An'an will be very successful when she grows up and find a handsome man like Daddy to be her husband."

Mingyuan was about to go eat when he stopped abruptly. This... Xu Ruo has corrupted the children.
