The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 223 Why Not Go Home

He met Yiyi and Yunshu during a business trip. He often visited them afterward and got to know Yiyi better. If he hadn't been married or had a healthy body, he would have been very happy to pursue Yiyi. Unfortunately, he was no longer qualified. Being with her would only harm him.

"Yiyi, I'm here." My heart was filled with both bittersweet joy.

"You really came, haha!" She then threw herself into Huainan's arms. She hadn't expected Huainan to be so sweet; she had called him, and he had actually come to pick her up.

Huainan was both amused and exasperated; Yiyi was still so enthusiastic.

"Let me help you with your luggage. Are you going home, or somewhere else?"

"No, I'm not going home yet. I'd like to stay in a hotel for a few days."

"You're back, why aren't you home yet!" Huai Nan was very surprised that Yi Yi was at the Taiwan Pig Hotel.

“Hey! You don’t know why I came back this time,” Yi Yi said with a sigh.

"Didn't you get tired of staying outside and want to come back?"

"Sigh! My mother is forcing me to come back. She's united with everyone in the family. If I don't come back, they won't let their daughter have me." Yiyi said with a deep frown and a helpless expression.

"Oh? Didn't you say your mom doesn't really care about you? Why is she being so forceful this time?"

"Twenty-seven, not young anymore. After running away for several years, I still have to go back and face it. But I need to rest for two days and wander around outside before going back, since I haven't been back for several years again." Yiyi put on her glasses to avoid seeing acquaintances.

Huainan shook his head. Yiyi was also born into the Xiao family, a large clan. Her family's relationships were not much better than the Sheng family's. However, Yiyi's father was sandwiched between his older and younger brothers and was not highly regarded by the head of the family. That's why Yiyi wasn't strictly controlled and lived a carefree life.

Huainan took her to a high-end hotel, booked a room for her, and even helped her carry her luggage to her room.

"Alright, let's rest here for now."

"I'm not sleepy, you stay and keep me company," Yi Yi said, dissatisfied.

When Huainan heard Yiyi's request, his face immediately turned red. When he dated Yiyi abroad, the two of them had only held hands and hugged at most, and had not done anything else out of line.

Yi Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Huai Nan's expression. In this day and age, and having grown up in a more open country like abroad, this man was so innocent, which was why she liked him.

"Don't worry, I just want you to stay and chat with me. Besides, I'm a woman and I'm not afraid, so why should you, a grown man, be afraid? Tell me how Ashu is doing now that he's been back for a few days."

"You should ask Xu Ruo about this; she might know more. Yun Shu didn't talk to me much. When she came back, she stayed at the Xu family's house for a few days before moving out."

"Yeah, I'll go find those two brats tomorrow. Hey! Just got back—I noticed so many places have changed. By the way! What's your house like now? And you and that woman…"

This was the main reason why Yiyi had come all the way to Huainan. She wanted to hear firsthand how he was dealing with the woman at home. If she didn't leave, there was no point in her coming back.

Huainan was quite pleased when Yiyi brought up this topic.

"Yiyi, I'm divorced. I've finally divorced that woman."

"Would she agree to a divorce?"

“Drugging, faking pregnancy, using a surrogate—what she did is intolerable. This time, it was all done by Grandpa and the entire Gu family. I was kept in the dark and thought the child was mine, which is why I was able to tolerate her in the Sheng family for the past few years. Now she has no last trump card left. Who will help her? Nobody cares. The elders in the family are also forcing her to divorce. From now on, I have nothing to do with her anymore. I am free. Yiyi, do you think I wouldn't be happy?”

"Congratulations! Haha, it feels a bit ironic to congratulate someone who just got divorced. But it couldn't be better for you."

"Thank you! I know, Yunshu said the same thing."

"Would you accept me after your divorce?" Yiyi asked unexpectedly, then looked intently at Huainan.

Huainan struggled to look away, unable to bear looking at her. Her eyes were too captivating, lest he lose himself and make the wrong choice.

"I...you know my body is different from ordinary people, and I don't know how long I can live. I can't have children in this life. Yiyi, you are a good girl, and I don't want to hurt you!"

"You're doing well; you might live another fifty years without any problem. As for children, with today's advanced technology, you can have IVF, or if that doesn't work, you can just have one. Sheng Huainan, you received a Western education, yet your thinking is still so traditional and old-fashioned. Or do you still like Ashu?"

"No! I've always considered her my little sister. I'm just afraid that if you can't be a mother in the future, you'll regret it and blame me."

"You're good enough as a man, why are you worrying about the children? Besides, seeing how Ashu gave birth, I'm afraid of the pain and don't dare to have children myself."

After saying that, she glanced at Huai Nan's area and thought about how Yun Shu's baby was not in the correct position at the time. She didn't want to have a C-section, saying that natural childbirth was better for both the baby and the mother, and that she would recover faster and be able to take care of Bei Bei. As a result, she endured a day and a night of pain before giving birth to Bei Bei.

However, when Huainan heard Yiyi's previous words, his face turned red again. Yiyi, like Xu Ruo, dared to talk about anything, even more so than Xu Ruo. So, the arrogant and domineering Xu Ruo became wary and afraid of Yiyi.

"Ahem, well, I always talk like this, don't mind me." But inwardly she chuckled to herself that even after several years of marriage, Huai Nan was still so naive.

"You rest first, I have to go back." Huai Nan felt slightly embarrassed and wanted to escape, not daring to stay any longer. He couldn't marry Yi Yi, so he couldn't give her hope.

Yi Yi saw him leave in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with hurt. He was still avoiding her. When would he finally accept her?

I'm heartbroken. I'm going to wash up and get some sleep before I talk about it.

Huainan was driving. He didn't want to go home. After leaving Yiyi's place, he thought about how Beibei's birthday was coming up soon, so he decided to go buy her a gift.

Meanwhile, at Huainan's house, Li Meng brought Yunle home, who was crying her eyes out. Gu Cheng felt extremely apologetic towards the Sheng family. He hadn't expected Yunle to ruin the relationship between the two families like this; now the Gu family owed the Sheng family a favor. From now on, the Gu family would find it difficult to hold their heads high in the entire compound. What a tragedy! His two daughters had been so despicable; the Gu family's reputation was almost completely ruined. Thinking of his father's disappointed departure, the old man seemed to have aged considerably overnight. He knew his father's health had recently deteriorated, and he rarely went out; he never imagined that his first outing would be met with such an embarrassing situation…
