The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Yun Shu walked to Xiao Mingkun's computer and used it to go online. Xiao Mingkun's computer looked very high-tech, and Yun Shu thought it was much easier to use than hers, since he used a computer every day. However, she didn't click on anything else randomly; she just used the browser to look up some medical information.

However, when I glanced at a spot, I noticed a photo next to Xiao Mingkun's computer. It must be a family photo. Xiao Mingkun looked like his father, both of them tall and strong. His mother looked like an ordinary woman. But I noticed a woman standing next to Xiao Mingkun, holding a child. Could this be Xiao Mingkun's ex-wife?

Yun Shu carefully examined the woman and noticed that she didn't resemble Xiao Mingkun, but rather looked somewhat like Xiao Mingkun's mother. Could it be...? Yun Shu guessed that this woman might be the sister Xiao Mingkun had mentioned to her before.

Xiao Mingkun previously said that his house was for his sister to live in. But since Xiao Mingkun's brother-in-law isn't in this picture, does that mean his sister is divorced and raising a child alone? No wonder he didn't want to talk much about his sister and his family that time, only mentioning it briefly. At the time, she thought it was because his sister's family was poor, so he let her live in the house and moved out himself.

Putting down the photo, she wasn't as puzzled as before. She realized she still cared about Xiao Mingkun. Living alone for so many years, she hadn't been very close to her three roommates besides Yiyi; the other two probably looked down on her because of her adopted daughter status. Only Xu Ruo and Yiyi were her close friends; the three of them used to be practically inseparable. Especially Yiyi, who was smart and loyal, unlike Xu Ruo who was sometimes a bit clueless. Sigh… thinking back on her past, she had many happy times.

She continued reading medical materials, and Xu Ruo's graduation thesis would be finished in a few days. She'd then have more time for other things; she needed to earn money quickly, as she hadn't had much time to write before and her royalties were meager. She wanted to buy a house, buy a house, buy a house! Important things always need to be remembered three times.

Less than half an hour later, Xiao Mingkun woke up from his afternoon nap and came out. He usually didn't rest for too long at noon, and sometimes he didn't even sleep when he was busy. Today, Yun Shu was outside, and he didn't want her to be alone, and he didn't want to sleep for too long either.

Seeing Yun Shu quietly looking at the computer, my heart immediately softened. I hope she won't end up like Xiao Mei, climbing up to a rich man and then leaving him.

Yun Shu heard Xiao Mingkun's footsteps and looked up in surprise that he had gotten up after such a short sleep.

"Why not sleep a little longer? The sun is really strong now, and it'll be very hot outside." It's past two o'clock at most. Although it's not the height of summer, the sun is at its strongest outside. There aren't many people on the streets at this time.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up. Let's go out and introduce you to everyone. Some of them live in our neighborhood, and you've met them before."

Xiao Mingkun led Yun Shu by the hand. Yun Shu was a little reluctant to go out, but since she was already there, it seemed a bit impolite not to go out and say hello to everyone, especially since they usually lived in the same community.

As the two walked out, they saw Aunt Li sweeping the floor. Yun Shu recognized her somewhat. It was Aunt Li who had come to Yun Shu's house to borrow a chair the day she moved in, mistaking Xu Ruo for a man, Yun Shu's boyfriend. Xu Ruo got angry that day because she had been mistaken for a man twice and refused to lend her the chair. Unexpectedly, Aunt Li also worked for Ming Kun.

"She lives next door to Ah Kun. The other day I mistook your friend for a man, thinking they were a young couple. I'm so sorry!" Aunt Qiu was surprised, but she also sighed that it had only been a month, and Ah Kun had taken a liking to this girl. She was said to be a doctor and a pretty nice person. If Ah Kun's mother knew this, she would be overjoyed. Finally, Ah Kun wanted to get married.

"Yun Shu, this is Aunt Li from my hometown. Her son is studying at university here, and she helps with cooking and cleaning. She's a very good cook; you can learn from her sometime." Yun Shu could tell that Xiao Mingkun was just being polite, but since she was from his hometown, she had to give her face.

"Yes, yes, Aunt Qiu, I'll be bothering you often from now on," Yun Shu said with a smile.

Aunt Li waved her hand, saying that there was no need to be too polite in front of her own people.

So next, Xiao Mingkun showed Yun Shu around the other departments of the company. Yun Shu chatted with the people who hadn't taken a nap. However, Yun Shu noticed that several of them were former soldiers who had now retired. They were about the same age as Xiao Mingkun, and Yun Shu guessed that they were probably his former comrades-in-arms.

I walked around the company premises, and it wasn't actually that big. The building isn't very large, even though they rented an entire floor. There aren't many people working there, and the rent here is quite expensive.

Yun Shu admired Xiao Mingkun quite a bit. He had built his empire from scratch and achieved what he had today—quite impressive. She felt a little ashamed, considering she was still a reborn woman working honestly.

However, Yun Shu thought that at least if she married Xiao Mingkun in the future, she wouldn't be rich and powerful, but she wouldn't be poor and starving either. As long as this man could support the family, that would be good.

Xiao Mingkun went out to do some work, while Yun Shu stayed in her office surfing the internet. Yun Shu originally wanted to help out because she felt bad, but Xiao Mingkun said that it was her first time here and she didn't need his help. Besides, they had just finished a project a few days ago and the new project hadn't started yet, so everyone wouldn't be too busy.

Seeing that he had said that, Yun Shu decided not to cause him any trouble. After all, every industry is different, and she didn't understand this area, so she went to take care of her own business first.

Finally, she opened her email and continued writing her thesis, which was actually Xu Ruo's thesis. Ever since Xu Ruo met Chen Mingyuan last time, she had eaten seafood and upset her stomach, so she stayed at home for two days. It was said that she went to learn from her cronies how to win over Dr. Chen.

Yun Shu thought helplessly that Chen Mingyuan meeting Xu Ruo was probably the beginning of her disaster. Now she was actually looking forward to what Xu Ruo would do to Chen Mingyuan. She had never seen Xu Ruo so heartbroken over any man before.

The afternoon passed quickly. After dinner, Yun Shu and Chen Mingyuan went straight back home instead of going out. When they were walking on the second floor of the building, they unexpectedly ran into Xiao Qiu, who was coming downstairs, at the corner of the stairs. At that moment, Xiao Mingkun and Yun Shu were walking hand in hand.

Yun Shu felt awkward, recalling how she had told Xiao Qiu that Ming Kun didn't have a girlfriend, and how Xiao Qiu had been abandoned by Ming Kun. Now that the three of them met, the air seemed to be filled with a sense of unease.
