The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

She knocked on the study door, and Gu Cheng came to open it for her shortly afterward.

"Old Gu, it's getting late, you should rest. Leave some things for tomorrow." Her gentle and caring words were so sweet that no man could resist her charm. Even the busiest man would look up at her with a good temper.

Gu Cheng saw Li Meng looking at him with concern, which touched him for a moment. He hugged her apologetically and said, "Don't worry, I'll be done in half an hour. Sigh! I've neglected you these past few days, I'm sorry!"

"You're such a jerk! We've been married for ages, why are you still saying these things? You hurry up and deal with it, I'm going back to my room, I don't care about you anymore," Li Meng said shyly. It had been many years since Gu Cheng had shown such sentimentality.

"Hehe, that's true. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I'm almost fifty now. We're all getting old. I just wish we could get promoted one more level so you could have more face when you go out." Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light that went unnoticed.

"It's alright as it is now. As long as the family is happy, that's the most important thing. If you want to climb another level, I'll talk to my brother about it tomorrow," Li Meng said contentedly, hugging him.

"Okay, I'll treat you even better from now on!" After saying that, Gu Cheng's eyes became complicated again. At this moment, he was not thinking of Li Meng in front of him, nor Yun Shu's mother, but the figure of another woman.

After Li Meng went upstairs, she waited until almost 11 o'clock but Gu Cheng still hadn't returned to his room to sleep, so she went to sleep first without waiting for him. Gu Cheng had been very busy lately, and sometimes when he didn't return to his room to sleep too late, he would just make do with the single bed in the study for the night.

Yun Shu left the Gu family early the next morning without eating breakfast, as usual. She didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer. Especially since Sheng Huainan was coming back, she couldn't go back often. She had to find an excuse not to return to the Gu family after a while.

As for Mingkun, Yunshu thought that she hadn't wanted to tell Gu Cheng about her boyfriend too early. It seemed that she would have to find a time to tell Gu Cheng that she already had a boyfriend and dissuade him from the idea of ​​a marriage alliance with the Sheng family.

Mingkun said he would go to his house next month, and after meeting his parents, she could tell Gu Cheng that she had a boyfriend.

Going to work, the morning was alright, not too busy. At lunchtime, she ran into Chen Mingyuan at the cafeteria, and the two sat at the same table. Yun Shu originally wanted to avoid this man. But he walked straight over and sat next to her, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to get up and go to another table to eat, making it seem like she was disrespecting him and deliberately avoiding him.

"Dr. Chen, is there something you need?" This person seemed to have something to ask her again.

"Nothing... I just wanted to ask Xu Ruo about something."

Now it was Yun Shu's turn to be curious. Didn't the two break up before they even started dating? What's going on with A Ruo now that he's asking about her?

Chen Mingyuan felt somewhat embarrassed. For the past month, he had tried to forget that woman, deliberately avoiding thinking about that absurd night. But no matter how he tried to avoid Xu Ruo, he felt as if she were still by his side. That woman had filled his car with all sorts of random things, and every time he drove his car, he would think of her.

He hasn't had a girlfriend lately and wanted to try dating again, but he found that he couldn't forget that woman. However, the result was the opposite of what he expected. He wanted to contact her, but found that she had changed her phone number and he didn't know where she worked. So he shamelessly asked Yun Shu about that woman.

"Dr. Chen wants to ask Xu Ruo what's wrong. Is it because Ruo didn't fix your car last time?" The two hadn't been in contact, but Chen Mingyuan was looking for her, so there must be something wrong with the car.

"It's not about the car. I'm asking you something. That woman changed her phone number, and I don't know how to contact her or where she works," Chen Mingyuan said, somewhat troubled.

Now Yun Shu understood. It turned out that Chen Mingyuan couldn't contact Xu Ruo, so he came to find her.

“Ah Ruo changed her phone number, this is her new number. She’s not working… she’s kind of the boss, I guess. She’s been renovating the restaurant lately, so she’s probably a bit busy.” Yun Shu sent Xu Ruo’s new number to Chen Mingyuan and briefly explained Xu Ruo’s situation to him, so that he wouldn’t think that Xu Ruo was just an idle girl or a spendthrift rich girl.

"Boss? I didn't realize she was so capable." Chen Mingyuan didn't say anything more, because he thought of the car the woman drove—it was expensive, and rightly so, not something an office worker her age could afford. He really hadn't expected that woman to be so impressive; she was a hidden talent. No wonder he always lost to her when playing ball, video games, or drinking.

If Xu Ruo knew what he was thinking right now, she would probably be overjoyed. Her cars were all bought by her father, or extorted or blackmailed. She never contributed any money. The money she earned each month wasn't even enough for her to squander.

After finishing her meal with Chen Mingyuan, Yun Shu returned to her office and hesitated whether to call Xu Ruo to tell her that Chen Mingyuan had asked her for her phone number.

Tell her if Aruo will secretly change her number again, like before. Aruo slept with Chen Mingyuan, then dumped him; it's a bit unreasonable. Oh well, let's see how they handle this time. Besides, it wouldn't be bad if they ended up together. At least Aruo's father wouldn't have to worry about his daughter's marriage anymore.

Around three or four in the afternoon, Xu Ruo was leisurely eating watermelon at home. Despite the heat, she hadn't gone out; she was enjoying her watermelon after playing games, living a pretty good life.

The restaurant's renovations are almost finished; we'll wrap up in two days and open for business in about two weeks. She needs someone to pick an auspicious day.

She's been staying home these past two days, planning to go out with friends this evening. She has many friends, mostly from wealthy families, unlike Yun Shu. These people are good at eating and having fun, but Xu Ruo only befriends those she finds appealing, and she doesn't get too close to most of them. However, the circle of wealthy people in Nancheng is basically that small. But Xu Ruo doesn't find anyone from the Gu or Li families appealing.

However, Xu Ruo was quite different from those rich girls who were idle and extravagant. She wasn't as playful and indulgent. She spent most of her money collecting antiques, limited edition items, or playing games. She didn't spend much money on her own appearance, which made her father very unhappy. He preferred that Xu Ruo spend her money on women's fashion, so he didn't have to worry about her making herself look tacky.

She does travel and have fun with people from time to time, but she doesn't go to places that are too far or too dangerous, because her father doesn't allow her to go.

Just as I was thinking about where to go for fun, my phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?" The tone was lazy, just like usual.

"Guilty woman, I've finally found you. Can't you recognize who I am?"
