The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 153 The first meeting

“But what if your dad finds out later? He’ll be furious. You’ve all seen how angry he is. He even slapped Yunshu before.” Li Meng was somewhat disapproving. This idea was a bit malicious, especially since it happened at their own home. If Gu Cheng found out, he would be furious, and they would be punished.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Once things are done, the outcome will be what it is. Even if Dad is angry or unwilling, there's nothing he can do. He'll just go with the flow and let me marry into the Sheng family. Besides, Mom, if Huainan gets together with me in a daze, he won't know if I'm a virgin or not. As for Yunshu, she can't even take care of herself, so she won't care about our affairs anymore."

"Well... your dad's birthday is in three days, so we need to start preparing now. Where can we get that medicine?"

"Mom, let me handle this. I know people who can help me!" Yun Huan smiled slyly, knowing this was the perfect opportunity to use her.

"Yunhuan, how did you get to know people like that? After this incident, you are not allowed to have any contact with those people again." Li Meng knew very well that people who had that kind of drug could not be decent people. Her eldest daughter had gotten close to that group of people before, which led to her getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Yun Huan wasn't angry when Li Meng spoke to her like that. If she could marry into the Sheng family, she wouldn't continue her old ways.

After the three of them discussed the details and finalized the plan, Yun Le looked at Yun Shu's happy expression and a strange look flashed across his face. "Hmph! What's yours can't be taken away by anyone, and what's not yours—no matter how hard you try to take it!"

Yun Shu lay in her room with Ah Zhong watching outside, so she couldn't go anywhere. After taking a nap, she saw the fruit on the table and thought that Yun Le was quite considerate, but it was a pity that she had such a mother and such a sister as Yun Huan.

On the other side, Mingkun only understood the difficulties Yunshu faced in the Gu family after receiving Yunshu's call. He had sometimes been frustrated that Yunshu didn't make their relationship public to her family, but now he realized that they would have to work hard to get the Gu family to accept them. He drove to the gate of the military region's office and, just before closing time, called Gu Cheng. This number was given to him by Gu Cheng when he saved Yunshu, and Gu Cheng had told him to contact him if he needed anything. He never expected it would actually come in handy now.

"Who are you?" Gu Cheng was a little surprised to see an unfamiliar number. His private phone number was usually only known to people he knew.

"I am Xiao Mingkun. I saved Yun Shu and Gu Shu before. Do you remember me?"

"Oh...it's you! What's up?" Gu Cheng was surprised by Ming Kun's call, but the voice sounded so much like Yun Shu's boyfriend.

"I want to see you. I'm right here at the entrance of your office building."

"Okay, wait for me at the restaurant across from the office building. I'll be off work in a few minutes." Gu Cheng put away his pen. This person called and wanted to meet up. He wasn't unreasonable, and any request he made shouldn't be too much.

"Okay, thank you, I'll head over now."

Mingkun didn't say he was Yunshu's boyfriend from the beginning, afraid that if he did, Gu Cheng would immediately stop seeing him.

After arriving at the restaurant, Mingkun ordered the food and asked the waiter to bring it in a while. The restaurant wasn't very upscale, and the location wasn't exactly upscale either.

Before long, Gu Cheng walked in from the doorway, where his bodyguard was waiting for him.

Mingkun immediately stood up to greet him, and at that moment the waiter began to serve the dishes.

"No need to be so polite, please sit down!" Gu Cheng said.

Mingkun watched as Gu Cheng rose through the ranks, his leadership aura growing stronger. He had seen Gu Cheng once before in the military region. But things had changed; Gu Cheng was no longer a soldier, while Mingkun's rank continued to climb.

"What brings you here?"

"I...I want to talk to you about Yun Shu."

Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng frowned immediately. Could it be... he is...?

"I am Yun Shu's boyfriend, or rather, she should be called my husband, because we have been married for almost a month!" Ming Kun said, taking out his and Yun Shu's marriage certificate.

"Nonsense!" Gu Cheng slammed his fist on the table in a fit of anger. "What kind of nonsense is this, secretly getting a marriage certificate without the adults' consent? You knew Yun Shu's identity, yet you did this. Do you think you should do this? I used to think highly of you, but I never imagined you were such a vain person. You're after my Gu family's status, not Yun Shu, aren't you? And is it because you saved Yun Shu last time that you coerced her into marrying you?" Gu Cheng was initially shocked when he heard that he was Yun Shu's husband, but then he became furious. The more he trusted someone, the more despicable their actions became.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood me. I met Yunshu when she was little. I saved her once back then. She was beaten badly by other kids because she was from the countryside. The city kids looked down on her and ostracized her. A few years ago, Yunshu graduated and moved to my neighborhood. That's when I found out we knew each other before. We got our marriage certificate secretly because we were afraid you adults wouldn't approve. Uncle! I truly love Yunshu. Please don't make things difficult for her. Yunshu has had a hard life in the Gu family. You're her father, and you know she suffered a lot growing up. Please don't hurt her anymore!" This was the first time Mingkun had pleaded so earnestly. He had abandoned all pride and dignity, just wanting Mingkun to allow him to be with Yunshu.

"Hmph! It's precisely because I'm her father that I'm considering her best interests. Wouldn't it be better to let her marry into the wealthy Sheng family?"

"You're wrong. Yun Shu has never liked wealthy families since she was a child. She doesn't like living there. She even wants to leave the Gu family!"

"She can forget about leaving the Gu family. As long as she is my daughter, Gu Cheng, she cannot leave the Gu family until she is married. Don't you know that Yun Shu signed a contract that even if she gets married, she must give her first son to the Gu family for adoption? If you were in her shoes, would you be willing to do that?"

“Child…” Xiao Mingkun felt a little sad but quickly recovered. Yun Shu had mentioned it once before, so he continued, “If Yun Shu also agrees, I have nothing to say. It seems that having another child is not a problem… I am from an ethnic minority, so I can have another child.”
