The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Can we be friends after Chapter 268?

Only after leaving the Gu family's house did the oppression and anger in my chest subside. Just as I was about to walk out, I ran into Huainan, who was returning home.

"Huainan..."

"It's you?" Huai Nan only realized it was Yun Le when he got closer. "I heard you've already moved out?"

"Yeah! My dad won't let my sister and me stay here any longer, so we have to move out..."

"Is that so? In that case, Uncle Gu really is quite heartless."

"Hehe... It's good that you moved out. Living here is too oppressive. Even if you're not sick, something bad will happen..."

“Your family… is a bit complicated…” Huai Nan didn’t know what to say. He thought that Yun Le’s current state was partly due to him.

"I heard you're getting engaged, and the bride is my older sister's friend?" I hesitated for a moment before finally saying it.

“I met her abroad. Yun Shu didn’t know before. I only met Yun Shu half a year ago.” When Huai Nan saw Yun Le mention Yun Shu, he was afraid that she would be angry that Yun Shu hadn’t told her about this. He hurriedly added, “We broke up for a while before. After my divorce from you, we got back together these past few days. Yun Shu probably still thinks we’re still broken up. Don’t blame her for not telling you.”

"Really... I won't blame her... What I want to ask is... does that woman know you've been divorced?"

“Yiyi is Yunshu’s friend. She knows about my situation, including that I can’t have children, but she said she doesn’t want children either, so she doesn’t mind.”

After a long while, Yun Le said softly again, "That's good... Huai Nan, I want to ask a question..."

"go ahead."

"If, and I mean if I weren't Gu Jia's daughter, would you have fallen for me?"

"This... I don't know... maybe, of course, if you didn't drug me beforehand, about the fake pregnancy."

"Heh... I ruined a winning hand. I've never apologized to you before... I'm sorry! I've dragged you down for four years and delayed your real marriage..."

“I’m a man, a few years of youth are nothing to me. Yunle, you can find a good man to marry later. You’re not even twenty-five yet, your best years are just beginning. If you encounter difficulties in the future…”

"No need, my older sister will help me. I just want to ask you for a favor..."

"Go ahead and say it..." Huai Nan seemed to know what she wanted to ask for.

“I can’t support Kang Kang in my current circumstances. It’s better for Kang Kang to stay with the Sheng family than with me. I’m begging you, if you end up with Miss Xiao, regardless of whether you have children or not, please treat that child well. Kang Kang is very well-behaved and obedient.”

"I understand, the Sheng family will treat this child well." This was all Huai Nan could promise regarding the child. Kang Kang wasn't his child; he hadn't had any contact with him. When he returned to China, Kang Kang was already four years old, and the child treated him like a stranger. He didn't feel the same way about that unfamiliar child either, so he only dared to assure Yun Le that the Sheng family would treat the child well.

Yun Le heard him mention the Sheng family, but that was enough. "Kang Kang's biological mother is a poor, unmarried woman who was pregnant. She was going to abort Kang Kang anyway. I gave that woman a large sum of money to buy the child in her womb. After the child was born, she secretly took the money and left from the hospital. I don't even know that woman's real name. Don't tell him about this anymore. Just say he's my illegitimate child so he won't suffer so much growing up. If my circumstances were better, I would definitely raise him myself..."

“You… Kang Kang will always be your son. Even if the Sheng family raises him, you can still visit him in the future.”

"Yes! I know... Thank you! You've never spoken to me so gently before..."

“I…I used to hate your mother and sister for always bullying Yunshu, so I hated you too…Yunle, remember to find a man who truly loves you in the future. If you like someone but that man doesn’t like you, don’t get married…” I sincerely hope she won’t suffer the pain of marriage again.

Yunle looked at the handsome and gentle man in front of her. She had liked him for several years, but he didn't like her at all and was about to marry another woman. Her heart was still aching. But when she heard him say this, she understood that he was doing it for her own good and that she didn't want her marriage to end up like it had been before.

"I understand... Can we be friends from now on?"

"...Okay." Although he still felt a bit uncomfortable with her, he couldn't refuse her now that she was in such a sorry state. He decided to treat her well and wipe the slate clean of any past grievances between them.

"Thank you!"

After Yunle finished speaking, she said goodbye to Huainan. As soon as she turned around, two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

After Yunle finished speaking, she said goodbye to Huainan. As soon as she turned around, two lines of tears fell from her eyes.

After walking out of the compound gate, Yunle ran a short distance, sat down by the roadside, and began to sob.

She had been holding back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of him; she wanted to preserve the last shred of his self-respect. When she heard that he was really getting engaged, she was particularly jealous of that Miss Xiao, but she also felt that the girl was much better than her—from a wealthy family, a returnee from overseas, with a respectable job, a good match for Huainan, and not minding not having children in the future.

But knowing that such a good man would belong to someone else in the future, I couldn't help but shed tears again.

Until a dark figure appeared in front of her. It wasn't far from Da, and the area was safe. Could she have run into...? She looked up in alarm and saw Ah Zhong, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"What are you doing here?" Wasn't this person taking care of Gu Cheng at the hospital recently?

Ah Zhong is the son of Gu Cheng's nanny. He's been with Gu Cheng for ten years, is in his early thirties, and still unmarried. He's usually quiet and unassuming, and Yun Le feels that of all the years she's spent in the Gu family, this taciturn, seemingly wooden man has been the kindest to her. Their relationship began when Yun Shu was confined to the Gu family home. Gu Cheng assigned Ah Zhong to guard Yun Shu, and she tried to bribe him, but he was stubborn and completely devoted to Gu Cheng.

Later, she and Yunle conspired to harm Yunshu. This person saw everything but did not report it to Gu Cheng. For some reason, it always felt like this person was secretly observing her. Sometimes, when she had difficulties, this person would help her. For example, when she moved recently and was worried about what to move, this person took the initiative to help her move her things to her rented house.

Ah Zhong didn't reply to her, but instead held out a pack of tissues to her.

"You're such a blockhead, would it kill you to utter a sound every time!" After saying that, she still took the tissue from his hand and wiped the tears from her face.
