The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

However, around 9 a.m., she still got up, quickly washed up and tidied herself up, and went to the bus stop to take the bus to the company that Xiao Mingkun had mentioned.

Xiao Mingkun's company rented a floor in a fairly prominent building in the city. However, it wasn't in the city center, and the rent wasn't the most expensive. According to Xiao Mingkun, companies like theirs didn't need to go to the city center, where land was incredibly valuable and rent was exorbitant.

Take the elevator to the twelfth floor. A sign for Ming Construction Decoration Company hangs at the entrance; it looks quite new. The interior is simply decorated. Xiao Mingkun says their company has only been around for a few years, so they're not well-known in Nancheng and only take on small projects, which is why he's quite poor.

In Yun Shu's opinion, Xiao Mingkun was a righteous person who often helped his employees. For example, when Tian Li from A Dong's family gave birth, he gave them some money to help Tian Li take better care of herself during her postpartum period.

If any family has any difficulties, they will ask him for help, which is why he has such a high reputation in the community. Because of his good character and integrity, many people are willing to recommend projects to him.

Yun Shu entered the company, and to her surprise, the receptionist was Jin Yuan. Wasn't Jin Yuan Xiao Mingkun's driver? It seems they're making good use of everyone's talents.

"Sister-in-law is here!" Jin Yuan already knew Yun Shu, and besides, his eldest brother had instructed him to treat her well when she arrived, and he would be back soon.

"Sister-in-law...?" Yun Shu nearly fainted. When...when did she become a sister-in-law? She was only in her early twenties, and he called her that—it made her feel so old! She wasn't even married yet!

So Yun Shu said irritably, "Jin Yuan, you can't just call me sister-in-law, just call me Yun Shu."

"Well, that's fine. You and the eldest are a couple, so of course we, the younger ones, should be polite and call her 'sister-in-law'!" Jin Yuan didn't want to mess up the seniority.

“But we’re not married yet!” Yun Shu said, frowning.

Jin Yuan was immediately in a bind. This was what Brother Kun had instructed everyone to call him that. Would Brother Kun respond if they called him by his name? Fortunately, Xiao Mingkun returned at that moment!

When Xiao Mingkun saw that Yun Shu had really come over, Jin Yuan immediately went to his side and said aggrievedly, "Brother Kun, you told us to call her sister-in-law, but she's not happy about it!"

Xiao Mingkun smiled and said, "I understand, you can go ahead and get busy." Then he turned to Yun Shu and said, "I told them to call, so don't blame them." After saying that, he pulled Yun Shu to his office.

The office was at the very back, and Yun Shu noticed everyone staring at her the whole way. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, she kept her head down, her face flushed red even without a mirror. This man was furious; he'd announced their relationship so quickly.

As soon as the office door closed, Yun Shu looked up and glared angrily at Xiao Mingkun.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? You were fine just now." Xiao Mingkun was puzzled. It was just a form of address.

"Why do you make them call me 'sister-in-law'? I don't want to marry you right now."

"Just because you don't want to now doesn't mean you won't marry me in the future. My parents have been urging me to get married, so let's just register our marriage in a few days."

"Dream on! I have to take my attending physician qualification exam next year, I don't have time!" Yun Shu immediately rejected the idea. She only said that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but she didn't say that they wanted to get married so soon.

"You can take your exams, it won't affect our marriage. When are we going to visit your parents to discuss our wedding?" Xiao Mingkun didn't care. Getting married sooner or later is still getting married.

When Yun Shu heard him mention her parents, her eyes immediately darkened. How could she tell him that her family was so complicated? She was afraid of scaring him.

Upon hearing Xiao Mingkun's words, Yun Shu's expression immediately changed. He guessed that her family situation was probably quite complicated. However, if the two of them really wanted to be together, they would have to overcome many hardships. Only in this way could their relationship be strong and they wouldn't have to worry about divorce over trivial matters or setbacks after marriage.

The divorce rate in society is getting higher and higher because people are too casual about marriage. Although he was eager to get married, he still went through all the necessary etiquette and wedding procedures to respect Yun Shu.

Gently embracing Yun Shu, he comforted her, "It's alright. If you don't want me to meet your parents right now, I can wait. I'll visit them when you feel it's a good time."

Yun Shu was still touched by Xiao Mingkun's words above her head, so she looked up and said nervously, "My family is a bit special, I...I...Never mind, you'll understand later. Just don't look down on me then."

“You are fine in every way, as long as you are not the daughter of a rich family. As for me... no... my whole family is afraid of rich families and can’t associate with them.”

Yun Shu didn't understand Xiao Mingkun's words. Was this man born with a strong sense of justice and unwilling to marry a rich man? It was truly rare to find a man like that these days. "What if I were..."

“Your family is rich, so why would you live with us in that run-down neighborhood, and work so hard every day while being so frugal?” Xiao Mingkun had gotten to know Yun Shu better over the time he spent with her. Yun Shu worked very hard, rarely took days off, and was very frugal, not buying many clothes or cosmetics. She was a very good girl.

After hearing her words, Yun Shu said with a self-deprecating smile, "That's true, I dream of buying a house and having my own home..."

"You don't need to worry about the house. Actually, I have two houses. One is still under renovation, and the other... I'll give it to... my sister."

"Oh, I see! So you own a house and a car too. By the way, your house is for your sister to live in, so you moved to that neighborhood to live with everyone else?"

"Hmm! Yun Shu...would you mind if I let my sister live in the house?" Xiao Mingkun frowned and asked Yun Shu cautiously.

He didn't say why, but Yun Shu figured it was because his sister wasn't doing well financially, and since Xiao Mingkun wasn't married yet, it was fine for him to rent a place alone. Yun Shu didn't mind; besides, she wasn't even married to him yet, so why should she care about his affairs?

When Xiao Mingkun saw Yun Shu shake her head, he knew that this girl was understanding and didn't like to hold grudges.

"Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk." Xiao Mingkun picked up his bag and pulled Yun Shu to go out.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to come and help?" She was a little confused as to why Xiao Mingkun had called her over. Was he playing a trick on her?

"It's alright, I've taken care of everything, I'm leaving!"

Xiao Mingkun kissed Yun Shu's red lips, which were pouting in dissatisfaction.
