Sure enough, in the following days, Lu Shaoqing visited Wen Chan more frequently.

For reasons unknown, Wen Chan went from initially refusing verbally to eventually acquiescing.

Seeing that Wen Chan tacitly approved of his behavior, Lu Shaoqing secretly increased his efforts until one day a week later, when he was behaving as usual, Wen Chan finally relented.

Wen Chan looked at Lu Shaoqing and said seriously, "Brother Lu, although I don't have any hope of getting married, we can try dating for now, but it can only be a two-month trial period at most. If we really can't get along in the end, we'll have to break up, okay?"

Lu Shaoqing felt that Wen Chan didn't completely trust him. Although he was disappointed, he knew it was understandable and happily agreed.

The two people here had only been dating for two days when the man next door moved in. In her previous life, Wen Chan had heard all sorts of impressive rumors about him and, like her colleagues, had been curious about him, so she went to help him move.

The neighbors here are very friendly, so helping others is a common occurrence.

But this time Wen Chan deliberately avoided it, so she wasn't curious. She knew from the beginning that someone would be moving over at noon.

So she made an appointment with Lu Shaoqing the day before to take the children to KFC for lunch today.

They also missed Huang Xianhai's move, and now that they don't have the opportunity to help each other, Huang Xianhai won't be so enthusiastic about giving gifts and expressing his gratitude in this life, right?

If he doesn't give a gift, he won't reciprocate; if he doesn't reciprocate, Huang Xianhai will have no excuse to help; and if he doesn't help, Wen Chan won't be grateful.

With their interactions gone, they would have no entanglements and no misunderstandings. Without misunderstandings, Yang Dan would have no reason to personally come to their door and say things that seemed ambiguous.

Unfortunately, Wen Chan's thinking was too simplistic.

The next day, Wen Chan heard a knock on the door. She went to open it and was slightly taken aback to see a familiar man wearing glasses standing at her door.

Wen Chan came to her senses. Although she was familiar with Huang Xianhai before, they hadn't met before.

So Wen Chan pretended not to know him and asked somewhat shyly, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Huang Xianhai was surprised to find a young and beautiful woman opening the door. The woman in front of him had clear eyes, fair skin, and a bright smile that made her very likable.

Huang Xianhai immediately gave Wen Chan a professional smile. He had just moved in as well, and the neighbor across the street wasn't home when he moved.

The neighbors next door have been very helpful, so I prepared some gifts today to give to the neighbors on the second floor as a way of expressing my gratitude.

But considering there are only a few shops on the second floor, and the other two have already been delivered to, it wouldn't be right not to deliver to the one directly opposite him.

So I prepared an extra one, hoping to make things easier for everyone in the future and to give my neighbors a good impression.

He hadn't inquired carefully beforehand, only knowing that someone lived across the hall from him, and that many families in the building were couples, so he assumed they all had families with children.

Now, the person who opened the door is a beautiful young woman. Her hair is simply tied up, and she has no makeup on, but her beauty is undeniable. True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin.

Hwang Hyun-hae felt embarrassed, wondering if he had bothered the other person.

But then I thought that he was just being polite by coming over to say hello, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. However, it was my own ignorance to knock on his door without understanding the situation.

Huang Xianhai nodded and smiled, "Sorry to bother you, I just moved in yesterday, right next door to you."

Huang Xianhai then introduced himself, "My name is Huang Xianhai. I just moved here yesterday. Since we don't know each other well, I wanted to come over today to get to know my neighbors, otherwise we won't recognize each other when we meet in the future."

After saying that, he handed over the gift he had brought and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you now. This is just a small token of my appreciation. We'll be neighbors from now on, so please take care of me."

When Wen Chan saw the thing being handed to her, she quickly waved her hand in refusal, as if she had seen some kind of monstrous flood.

Seeing him at the door, Wen Chan didn't want to be impolite and just close the door.

He also said, "I have a child with me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much in the future. I didn't help you much when you first came, so I feel ashamed to accept this gift. Why don't you take it and see what it is next door?"

Seeing Wen Chan's politeness, Huang Xianhai assumed she was embarrassed and continued to persuade her, "I've already been to the next shop. This is the last one. I specially bought these desserts and pastries. I'm a grown man and I don't like them. Since you have children, give them to them."

Seeing that Wen Chan was hesitant to accept, Huang Xianhai realized he didn't know how to address her, so he changed the subject, "How should I address you?"

Wen Chan wasn't averse to introducing herself. Even if Huang Xianhai didn't know today, he would eventually find out after staying for a while, so there was no need to hide it.

Wen Chan introduced herself, "Oh, my name is Wen Chan, I'm 29 years old, and I'm a single mother. I look older than you, so you can call me 'sister'." Therefore, you should avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Thinking about the possibility of me doing something rash in the future, I'm giving him a "precautionary shot".

Wen Chan smiled appropriately and said, "I am a cautious person, and I often overreact in my actions. When I am with others, I subconsciously keep my distance to avoid suspicion and being gossiped about. So please bear with me if I offend anyone in the future."

The main reason is to avoid suspicion from Huang Xianhai. Wen Chan dares not have any further involvement with him. If things really can't be changed, she will just change her strategy again.

Huang Xianhai suddenly realized and understood, thinking that it wasn't easy for her, a woman, to live a life alone.

As Wen Chan spoke, his head nodded rhythmically, as if he were listening very attentively to Wen Chan.

"Okay, I understand." He subconsciously avoided the suggestion that Wen Chan should call her "sister."

After all, she looks very young; you can't tell she's almost thirty.

She was quite petite, only reaching his shoulder, and he couldn't tell she had given birth. He simply couldn't bring himself to call her "sister."

Wen Chan told me she's a single mother, which means she must have divorced her husband. It's not easy for her as a woman alone, so it seems he'll have to take better care of her in the future, since everyone has their struggles.

Wen Chan was unaware of his thoughts, otherwise she would have been furious. She was also quite clever to find a boyfriend in public beforehand.

Although she didn't know if this would prevent her from becoming a victim, she genuinely wanted to try with Lu Shaoqing. If possible, she wouldn't mind starting a family with him.

Wen Chan knew better than anyone that she was a selfish person. She could treat Lu Shaoqing's two children with a normal attitude when they had nothing to do with her.

If Wen Chan becomes their stepmother, they'll probably find out after a while that she'll only favor her own children and will never let her Ah Xuan suffer in front of the Lu family's two children.

If Lu Shaoqing sees that he is biased towards Ah Xuan, will he have no objections?

You should take care of your own children.
