The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Mingyuan stared at Yun Shu for a few moments. She had clearly shown a hint of panic, but she quickly masked it. Looking at the child, his features were identical to that man's. As a doctor, he knew very well that genetics could be quite reliable; it was definitely that man's child. Whether it was appearance or the timeline, only someone as oblivious as Xu Ruo hadn't noticed, or perhaps some people had preconceived notions, assuming that because Yun Shu was with Huai Nan, the child was Huai Nan's.

Xu Ruo was overjoyed to hear that Yun Shu wanted to stay at her house, and immediately said, "Great! Now An'an will have a playmate. Shu, let's go!"

Yun Shu didn't leave immediately but said to Huai Nan, "Huai Nan, let's part ways here, so your family doesn't see me and make things worse."

Huai Nan nodded in understanding. Yun Shu didn't want the Gu family or his family to know she was back, especially since Yun Le was still at home. If that woman found out he was with Yun Shu, she would definitely cause a scene. In the past three years, that woman had turned the Sheng family into a complete mess.

His mother would cry to him every now and then, constantly urging him to come back. But he really didn't want to come back to a woman he had no feelings for and disliked. He wanted time to prove how terrible and wrong this marriage was.

Mingyuan came over and carried Yunshu's suitcase. Xiaobei waved goodbye to him reluctantly before leaving, feeling very reluctant to part with the little guy. Sometimes she really treated him like her own child, but she no longer had the same feelings for Yunshu as before, and only regarded her as a younger sister.

Watching them leave, he knew that Ashu was much better off at Xu Ruo's house than at the Gu family's; Xu Ruo and her husband would help Ashu a lot. He felt a deep emptiness and didn't want to return to the Sheng family, but he also understood that his matter couldn't be delayed any longer.

His parents had been driven to move out by Yun Le's antics over the past two years, and he hadn't returned. Hiding wasn't a solution, especially since he now had a woman he liked. Not only for her, but also for his future freedom, he was coming back to get a divorce. He was back to finalize the divorce with Yun Le, and whether she agreed or not, he was determined to make that woman leave the Sheng family.

Pushing his luggage, he walked out of the gate and saw his mother's people coming to pick him up. It was said that his parents had moved back to the Sheng family home today because of his return. He felt somewhat sorry for his parents. More than three years ago, they had agreed to that marriage, and now they regretted it.

He told them about his previous intention to divorce Yunle. His mother wholeheartedly supported it because she was no match for Yunle, and felt that Yunle had aged more than 10 years in the past two years. His father didn't object this time either, but he didn't know what to do with the child he had with Yunle. Yunshu said that Yunle might not have been pregnant back then, so he wanted to confirm whether the child was his. He couldn't let this child inexplicably tie his marriage to the spotlight for life.

On the other side, once they got into the car, Xu Ruo started asking Yun Shu what had happened in the past few years, and how she ended up coming back with Huai Nan.

"Ah Shu, what exactly happened that year? Why did you suddenly disappear for several years?" As soon as she got into the car and settled in, Xu Ruo couldn't help but ask.

I really want to know what happened back then, how could they suddenly disappear without a trace for so many years.

"Back then... I was originally going to see... Mingkun, but then Gu Cheng called me to the Sheng family, saying that someone from the Sheng family had sabotaged Mingkun, causing his accident at the construction site. Gu Cheng wanted to help me get Mingkun out, so I went to the Sheng family... The two families were discussing our affairs. Yunle had previously asked me to help her get a pregnancy certificate, but I refused. That day, she asked me to talk to her alone, so I went to the beach with her. I didn't expect Yunhuan to come along later. Yunhuan deliberately insulted my mother, so I argued with her. Now that I think about it, they must have planned something to do to me all along. While I was fighting with Yunhuan, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and unfortunately fell into the sea..."

"How could this be? Then why is everyone saying that you abandoned Brother Kun and Sheng Huainan and went into seclusion abroad and never came back? And Ashu, how were you rescued from the sea?"

"I don't know what they said about me later. I couldn't swim when I fell into the sea. I struggled in the water for a short time before sinking. When I woke up, I was already on a ship. The people who rescued me said that before I lost consciousness, I was lucky enough to grab a piece of wood. I was swept to that area by the waves and a passing cruise ship rescued me. However, it was an ocean liner, and they were about to transport goods abroad. So I thought I couldn't go back to Gujia anymore. Even if I went back then, I didn't know if they would let Mingkun go. So I was going to hide abroad for a while. The country I went to was where Yiyi was studying. I went there to stay with her. Not long after I got there, I found out that I was pregnant. I couldn't come back. Between giving birth and graduating from my studies there, more than three years passed in the blink of an eye."

Yun Shu sighed, "If it weren't for Yi Yi's help, I don't know how I would have survived these past three years..."

"Ashu, you're with Yiyi, why didn't that damned woman tell me!" Xu Ruo was really angry now. If Yiyi didn't tell her, did those two still consider her a good sister?

“I told her not to say it. You were pregnant at the time, and I was afraid that if you heard it, you would be angry and it would affect the baby. Also, I didn’t want you to worry. Later, I thought I would come back and then tell you. I didn’t expect it to be delayed until now.”

“Ashu…”

Xu Ruo felt so sorry for her that tears streamed down her face.

"Don't cry. I'm fine now, and life goes on. I thought I was hiding from them, but I couldn't escape them. They just died in a different way. Now I understand that you can never solve a problem if you don't face it. Only Mingkun, I don't want to affect him anymore. If he hadn't met me, he would have gotten married earlier, and maybe even had a child by now. I delayed him. Now he has a fiancée and is getting married... Heh, it should have been like this a long time ago." Thinking of that scene at the airport, how the two of them used to be so loving, but now they are like strangers, Yun Shu could no longer hold back her tears.

Xu Ruo felt sad seeing Yun Shu like that. She knew that although Yun Shu said it lightly, she had never forgotten Brother Kun. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be so upset and crying like this.

"Mommy..." Little Beibei didn't know why her mother was crying, and wanted to wipe her tears.
