The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

But it wasn't that she really wanted to get married now; she felt it was too early for her. She wanted to wait until she got her medical license and became an attending physician before getting married, at which point she would be around twenty-five, which wouldn't be too late. Xiao Mingkun was different. He was usually very busy, but he was very filial, and since he was rarely home, he spent more time with his parents.

After get off work, Yun Shu carried groceries home. When she got to her front door, it was open, and Xu Ya was already back.

It was already six o'clock when she finished get off work and went grocery shopping, but she had already asked Xu Ya to cook the rice in advance, so she only needed to cook two dishes when she got back.

Xiao Mingkun came in at this moment and asked Yun Shu to cook a couple more dishes, saying he would come back later. Xiao Mingkun then went back to the next room and soon returned with a five or six-year-old girl. The little girl was very cute, with regular features, fair skin, and was dressed very nicely, like a porcelain doll. However, her expression was arrogant, and her lips were tightly pursed, ruining the child's lively, innocent, and adorable charm, causing Yun Shu to frown slightly when she saw her.

Xiao Mingkun asked Yun Shu to look after the place for a while, and then he hurriedly went out.

Yun Shu found it strange. This child seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Mingkun, and Xiao Mingkun was also very careful and gentle with her. She suspected that the child had some kind of relationship with Xiao Mingkun.

After Xiao Mingkun left, Yun Shu asked the little girl to sit on the sofa and let Xu Ya play with her. She had to go cook. Before she could turn around, she heard the little girl asking her a question.

"Are you my dad's girlfriend?" The cold, cool question left Yun Shu stunned.

He immediately reacted and asked, "Dad? Mingkun is your dad?"

"Yeah, so what? You're not even as pretty as my mom. Be careful, or my dad might dump you one day. Let me guess how many girlfriends you've had with him." The girl glanced at Yun Shu with a sarcastic look, her disdainful expression making anyone uncomfortable.

After listening to the child's story, Yun Shu felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her eyes even reddened. She was almost brought to tears by a child, despite having lived two lifetimes.

"Sis, are you alright! How can you be so rude? What did your mother teach you to talk to adults like that? Compared to Lele, you're not cute at all!" Xu Ya immediately came over and scolded them after hearing their conversation.

"Auntie, you're so old and you're still acting cute? Aren't you disgusting!" The little girl wasn't afraid at all, and what she said made Xu Ya almost faint, and her anger immediately flared up.

"Alright, all of you, be quiet! What's your name? This is my house! You should speak more politely!" Yun Shu calmed down after a few seconds, glaring at the child who was both big and small. Regardless of whose child this was, she couldn't let a child ride roughshod over her; otherwise, these adults would lose all their dignity.

"You're bullying me! I'm going to find my dad!" The little girl, feeling wronged, wanted to go out after Yun Shu's shout.

"Stop right there! Your dad's gone out. Do you even know this place? If you get lost or get kidnapped by child traffickers, I won't tell your dad!"

Yun Shu shouted a loud scare, and it worked. The little girl immediately stopped moving. No matter how clever a child is, she is still a child.

"Sit here quietly, your father will be back soon! Xu Ya, watch over her!" After saying that, Yun Shu went to the kitchen to cook.

Yun Shu felt like she had seen this child somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it. However, she had a feeling that he didn't belong to Ming Kun. If Ming Kun really had a wife and children, he wouldn't have pursued her. He wouldn't have hidden such a big thing from her and would have brought the child to her to see.

Ignoring all this drama, she focused on cooking. She only ate a few bites at lunchtime while working overtime, then rushed into the operating room to save a woman in precipitous labor. She was so hungry she had no energy left, her vision blurred, and she had no time for anything else.

Thinking about the large number of people later, Yun Shu cooked four dishes and made a soup, sweating profusely. The weather was hot; spending even a short time in the kitchen left her drenched in sweat. She grabbed a clean set of clothes and went to the bathroom to shower. Cooking in the summer tests one's endurance. These past few days, Xu Ya had also been working, so Yun Shu rarely cooked. When she did, it was usually dinner; the two of them didn't eat much, often just two dishes were enough. She cooked, and Xu Ya washed the dishes—a clear division of labor. Yun Shu only had some free time when Ming Kun cooked. However, he was very busy and rarely had the opportunity to cook.

When Yun Shu came out of the shower, she saw Xu Ya and the little girl sitting very far apart, neither of them wanting to talk to the other.

Yun Shu poured some water and went over to give it to the child, but the child didn't appreciate it and turned her head to the side.

Yun Shu said irritably, "Fine, don't drink then. We'll eat when Ming Kun comes back. And kids shouldn't be so serious, otherwise they're not cute at all, and no one will like you."

"Hmph! I don't need anyone's approval, you're all bad people!" She glanced at Yun Shu and loudly accused her.

"Sis, no matter what, this naughty kid is nothing compared to Lele. I don't know if she's just born this way or if there's something wrong with how Kun's family raises her!" Xu Ya said, eating a bag of potato chips.

"Alright, how old is she? You weren't cute when you were little either, but you're doing just fine now. And stop eating those things, or you'll gain weight and have nothing to wear."

Xu Ya felt a little uncomfortable after Yun Shu's words, noticing that she had already devoured most of the potato chips in the bag. Eating potato chips before a meal was indeed inappropriate, but she had been a bit hungry and had deliberately eaten them in front of this little brat to tempt her, getting revenge for her disrespect and rudeness towards adults. Hehe!

I heard the sound of the door opening next door; Mingkun had returned. He was covered in sweat, so he went back next door to get some clothes, took a shower, and smoked a cigarette before coming over.

When Mingkun arrived at Yunshu's side, he saw Jiajia sitting there looking sullen, her little face tense and her little mouth tightly pursed. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Jiajia, what's wrong? Why is your face so tense? Did something upset you?"

As soon as Mingkun finished speaking, Jiajia threw herself into his arms and started sobbing. Mingkun was puzzled. He had only been gone for a short while, what had happened to Jiajia that made her so upset?

Seeing Yun Shu come out of the inner room, she asked, "Yun Shu, what happened to Jia Jia? Why is she crying like this?"

Yun Shu glanced at him and said irritably, "If you, as his father, don't know, how would I know!"

His tone was clearly displeased; no wonder the child was so spoiled. Yun Shu disliked them even more.

"Dad? Jiajia, you're talking nonsense again." Hearing Yun Shu's words, Xiao Mingkun was also annoyed.
