Once the words were out, he was, for some reason, very dissatisfied with the answer.

He Qiaoyun smiled faintly and said, "In less than a month, Tian Tian will be starting elementary school. When school starts, she will make many new friends."

Feng Jiashu said, "This is different."

He Qiaoyun asked, "What's different?"

Feng Jiashu looked at her, mustered his courage, and said to her, "It's different because I like you, and I don't want you to leave."

Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze and turn cold. He Qiaoyun's face visibly flushed red, and she felt as if she were being roasted in a fire.

Even though she's quite old, no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she still couldn't help but blush in the face of such a passionate and straightforward confession.

Whether startled or shy, she suddenly stood up abruptly and hurriedly said, "I, I have something to do, well, I have to go out for a bit."

After saying that, she picked up her phone and hurriedly walked out.

Wang Ma, who was returning from outside, saw her hurrying by and asked, "Sister Qiaoyun, have you finished eating?"

He Qiaoyun hurriedly replied, "Yes, I have to go out for a bit."

After saying that, she opened the door and started running, taking two steps at a time, as if afraid that Feng Jiashu would catch up with her.

At this time, inside the villa.

After watching He Qiaoyun leave, Tian Tian looked at Feng Jiashu, as if to say: Uncle, hurry up and go after Aunt He.

It wasn't until the door closed that Feng Jiashu came to his senses; he seemed to have scared He Qiaoyun away...

He got up somewhat hastily and said to Tian Tian, ​​"You eat first. Your uncle is going out for a bit and will be back soon. Call the nanny if you need anything."

He Qiaoyun didn't know where to go, so she wandered aimlessly, her mind a mess, and she seemed to be still in shock.

It would be a lie to say she couldn't sense Feng Jiashu's feelings for her; she just hadn't expected him to confess his feelings so suddenly, catching her completely off guard and leaving her no psychological preparation whatsoever.

The streets of the community were deserted in the evening. Passing vehicles and pedestrians were in a hurry, but she strolled leisurely.

It wasn't completely dark yet, and the streetlights hadn't been turned on.

She didn't know where to go. Her children all had families, and her friends were all busy with their own families and hadn't been in touch for a long time.

Most people find it difficult to maintain friendships after starting a family. I didn't understand this saying before, thinking that strong friendships built in youth wouldn't fade even if we didn't keep in touch often.

But ever since Xu Hui kicked her out of the house, she has come to understand this deeply.

When I was young, I thought friends were about helping each other out. But after we all started our own families, I didn't want to bother others, much less be disturbed...

Apart from the house her parents left her in her hometown, she has nowhere else to go for the time being.

I feel so lost and helpless.

What exactly does marriage bring to women?

She wasn't full after dinner, so she thought about finding a restaurant to eat at.

The infrastructure here is very complete, with rows of restaurants open for business. She looked around as if she were on a whirlwind tour, unsure of which one to eat at.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind: "He Qiaoyun".

As she turned around, the streetlights lit up one by one, their warm glow falling on Feng Jiashu as he walked towards her step by step.

As dusk fell and the streetlights came on, a woman in a light-colored dress stood under a streetlamp, the light also illuminating a tall, handsome man. He was still wearing slippers he hadn't had time to change into, and every step he took toward her was firm and resolute.

At this moment, everything fits the scene of an idol drama, extremely beautiful and romantic.

Feng Jiashu stood in front of her.

The two looked at each other, but neither said a word.

"I....."

"you....."

They both said in unison.

The air condensed again.

Feng Jiashu stammered, "I...I...did I scare you? I'm sorry, I..."

He's usually so eloquent when discussing business, never stumbling over things like this. But when it comes to matters of the heart, he becomes awkward and uncomfortable, like a clueless young man experiencing love for the first time.

He Qiaoyun was equally uncomfortable, "I... I don't know how to respond to you, so..."

Not knowing how to respond, I chose to escape.

To be honest, dating is not in her plans, or rather, it's not in her recent plans. Her primary goal right now is to make money.

Since her children are unreliable, she has no choice but to earn more money to ensure a comfortable retirement.

Feng Jiashu was afraid she would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said, "Then, then I don't like you anymore. Can you not move out? Just for Tian Tian's sake. Also, why do you need to rent a place outside? Why don't you rent my place? I'll charge you rent, provide three meals a day, and even have a housekeeper and a maid to serve you..."

He was practically telling her to swipe his card too.

If you like someone, you'd be happy even if she took advantage of you.

He Qiaoyun looked at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What does it mean to dislike someone? Liking someone is the hardest emotion to control... For example, what he just blurted out at the dinner table.

When Feng Jiashu saw her smile, he felt a sense of relief for some reason. "You smiled."

He Qiaoyun looked at him and said seriously, "Okay, I'll rent your house. Your house is so nice. I don't have much money and can't pay too much rent. I can only pay my current rent of two thousand a month, plus food expenses, for a total of three thousand."

In fact, being able to live in such a nice house and have a nanny to take care of her is clearly a bargain for her, and she has no reason to refuse.

Putting aside feelings, people are always self-interested, and she admitted that she wanted this kind of high-quality life.

Since he's so determined to rent it out, then as long as she pays rent, she won't be living there for free, and she can feel at ease...

Feng Jiashu agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

He Qiaoyun added, "Since it's a rental, there should be a contract."

Feng Jiashu immediately agreed, "I'll have my assistant take care of it tomorrow."

He Qiaoyun extended her hand to him with a smile: "Hello, landlord."

Feng Jiashu excitedly grasped her hand, his mind overwhelmed with emotion, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say.

He gently took her hand, as if afraid that holding it for even a second longer would scare her away, and quickly and politely let go.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

The two walked side by side on the sidewalk, enjoying the refreshing night breeze.

He Qiaoyun put her hands behind her back, walked lightly, and was relaxed.

Her eyes were drawn to a small barbecue restaurant by the roadside, and she turned to ask the person beside her, "Are you full?"

Feng Jiashu nodded, then shook his head when he saw her slight disappointment. "No."

Her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the barbecue restaurant, "This looks really good, let me treat you."

Feng Jiashu watched the owner grilling meat outside the restaurant, sweating profusely, and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?"

"Of course."
