Chapter 212 What is Non-Interference?
“My parents have already accepted you. They are very angry that Manchun switched the lottery ticket back then.”
“What if I draw a bad lot the second time? Your parents still won’t accept me! Why should I go to the wall again and suffer again?”
“Yun Shu, my parents don’t interfere in my life anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been single for the past three years. Although they’ve been urging me to get married, they haven’t really interfered in my marriage plans, except for that thing with Man Chun that you know about a long time ago.” Ming Kun explained with a frown.
"Let's see them again when we're really old enough to live! I'm not ready right now!" After saying that, she ignored Mingkun and continued eating. She hadn't finished dealing with her own issues yet, and besides, her parents had indeed gone too far in the past. She still had a lingering trauma, so how could she forgive them so quickly? Just thinking about these things made her upset.
The two were staring at each other when the doorbell rang. Mingkun put Beibei down and went to open the door.
A woman in her thirties entered and greeted Yun Shu politely, "Hello, Madam!"
"Sister Xin is here, Beibei, come and meet Auntie." Yun Shu led Beibei to Sister Xin. "Beibei, Mommy will be going to work from now on, so Sister Xin will have to take care of you during the day. Be good and listen to Sister Xin, okay?"
After listening, Beibei glanced at Sister Xin and then nodded. He knew that she was the nanny who took care of him. Back in his home abroad, his mother also hired someone to take care of him. His mother said that she needed to earn money to buy food and toys for him.
Yun Shu was relieved to see that Bei Bei didn't reject Sister Xin. While abroad, Yi Yi also had to work, so she took care of Bei Bei while working, employing a professional nanny. Bei Bei had been raised by a nanny since she was little and was used to this lifestyle.
When Mingkun saw Xin Jie's expression, he immediately understood that this was the nanny Yun Shu had found for Bei Bei. He didn't object to Yun Shu finding a nanny, but Yun Shu had to go to work. Bei Bei was still so young. A nanny could do housework, but he would rather Yun Shu not go to work and stay home to take care of Bei Bei wholeheartedly. Besides, she had worked so hard on her own before. Now that he was here, she wouldn't have to work so hard to support the family and take care of the child.
"Yun Shu, shall we talk?"
"Is there something you need?" Yun Shu had barely finished speaking when Ming Kun pulled her into the inner room, which happened to be Yun Shu's bedroom.
Perhaps because she had just returned, Yun Shu's bedroom was very simple, with no decorations at all.
"Yun Shu, you just got back, why are you going back to work so soon? It's not too late to take a break for half a year, or you can stay at home and take good care of Bei Bei."
“It’s okay. I did the same thing when I was abroad. In a while, that position at the hospital might already be taken. The job market is tough right now. The important thing is that I’m still working where I used to be as an attending physician. I think it’s fine. Beibei, don’t worry. He’s been used to being taken care of by a nanny during the day since he was little. My son and I have always lived like this. There’s nothing wrong with it.”
After hearing Yun Shu's words, Ming Kun suppressed his anger and said, "Yun Shu, you still have me! What do you take me for? Aren't we husband and wife?" He then took out his wallet. "It was my mistake. I should have put several hundred thousand in these two cards yesterday. I will regularly deposit money into them from now on. The passwords will all be your birthday. I will support this family from now on, and I will bear any difficulties. If I don't even support my own wife and children, am I still a man? Later, I will also give you all my funds, stocks, real estate, and the company. So, Yun Shu, you can live an easy life. You don't need to work so hard!" After saying that, Ming Kun forcefully shoved the card into Yun Shu's hand.
Hearing this, Yun Shu was deeply moved. Most women would be touched and accept the offer from the man they love, who gives them all his wealth and assets. But unfortunately, she was Gu Yun Shu. Her status prevented her from settling for the status quo. She felt insecure with everyone, trusting only herself and relying on herself. This belief had been deeply ingrained in her for over twenty years. Suddenly asking her to do nothing but stay home and raise the child was impossible; besides, all her efforts and hard work over the past few years would be destroyed in an instant.
Looking up at this tall man, Yun Shu realized for the first time that she still had many disagreements with him.
“Mingkun, I don’t want to be a housewife. You have your own life and career, but that doesn’t mean I have to stay at home. I can’t do that. Besides, we… don’t really look like a complete family. If you insist on not letting me go out, then I’d rather keep things as they are, living separately, each with our own lives, and not interfering with each other!”
"What do you mean? What does 'non-interference' mean? Yun Shu, I don't understand!"
"Actually, this was my plan from the moment I came back. Even if Beibei is found to be your son, we can raise him together, and our lives will remain the same as before, isn't that good?"
"Are you out of your mind? Don't you know how important a family is to a child? You want Beibei to be a child from a single-parent family? Do you think Beibei won't have any complaints about us in the future?!"
"Xiao Mingkun, if it weren't for Beibei, you wouldn't care whether I came back or not. That's true... even if I hadn't come back, you would have been getting married soon!"
"Gu Yunshu, you're being unreasonable. You know all about my affairs. If I'm lying, you can easily find out by checking outside. I must have lost my mind!"
"So, from now on, let's pretend we don't know each other. You're still Xiao Mingkun, and I... I don't need you to take care of me. I can take good care of myself! You can leave!"
"You! You! You!" Mingkun pointed at her. This woman was someone he both loved and hated. She had only been back for two days and she was already arguing with him. He couldn't hit her or scold her. He was so angry that his insides felt like they were going to explode!
He slammed the door and left, not wanting to face her in this situation! He knew Yun Shu would destroy all his reason, and in his rage, he feared he might hurt Yun Shu.
After Mingkun left, Yunshu slumped onto the bed. She had deliberately provoked him to leave, and for the first time, she realized how different she and Xiao Mingkun were. He wanted a submissive woman, a housewife, to serve him every day. Unfortunately, she didn't want that kind of woman. She wanted a family, but also a career. Her upbringing had taught her that she couldn't rely on anyone; she could only rely on herself. Years ago, when she drowned and went abroad, she happened to have some money in her bag from the house and jewelry Xu Ruo had helped her sell, which allowed her to complete her studies and have a child there over the years. Although Yiyi offered to help her financially, she refused. She didn't want to depend on anyone, not even her closest lover, Xiao Mingkun.
