Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The middle-aged woman lived on the same level as her. Ye Youyou lived in Apartment 2001 while she lived in Apartment 2003, just directly opposite her.

Naturally, she knew Ye Youyou inside and out. When she saw Li Jinnan, her eyes brightened as she piped up, “Youyou, is this your husband? Wow, this guy here is something!”

Ye Youyou had initially intended to just walk by without saying anything. When she heard this, she had no choice but to stop in her steps and stand there awkwardly as the lift door closed.

As the woman spoke, her eyes drifted onto the marks on Ye Youyou’s neck that couldn’t be hidden by her clothes. She laughed as if she had been there and done that.

She said, “I had heard that you were married, but I never expected your husband to be so handsome!” With that, she shifted her gaze to Li Jinnan and said, “Hello, I’m Youyou’s neighbor.”

The world was so small, and it was ruled by Murphy’s law.

Of all the people I could bump into, why did it have to be this one?

Ye Youyou laughed awkwardly and interjected, “Auntie Zhao...”

He isn’t my husband!! But, if he isn’t, why were they holding hands? And, how I am going to explain the love marks on my neck? Wouldn’t that be akin to announcing that I committed adultery?

Just as things couldn’t get any more awkward for Ye Youyou, Li Jinnan suddenly opened his mouth. “Hello, Auntie. My family name is Li.”

Auntie Zhao’s smile deepened. She nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad at all. You’re tall and handsome. But, how could you bear to let your wife live here alone? That’s so unbecoming of you! You have to come by often in the future. No matter how busy you are at work, you still have to come home!”

Li Jinnan did not change his expression at all. He nodded his head and replied, “I will. Thank you for taking care of Youyou all this time.”

That attitude and tone... Li Jinnan had practically taken on the identity of her husband.

“Oh my goodness, why are you being so polite? We’re all neighbors. Youyou even invites me to eat with her ever so often.” Auntie Zhao looked elated. “Have the both of you had breakfast? I just prepared a lot of food. Would you like to eat together?”

It was fortunate that the lift had reached its destination at that very moment.

Ye Youyou quickly rejected the offer and said, “That’s won’t be necessary, Auntie. We just bought breakfast.”

“My dear, don’t stand on ceremony,” Auntie Zhao said with an expression of reprove. “How can food bought outside be compared to home-cooked ones? Come on, come on over.”

Auntie Zhao dragged Li Jinnan over enthusiastically and said, “I haven’t eaten either. Let’s have breakfast together.”

Ye Youyou began to panic. She pulled Li Jinnan’s hand and called out, “Li... Anan!”

Li Jinnan steps came to a stop. A look flashed across his dark eyes. It was fleeting but meaningful.

Ye Youyou didn’t notice that subtle change. She gazed at him pleadingly. She begged, “Let’s go home for breakfast, shall we?”

Auntie Zhao became upset, but Li Jinnan was in high spirits. He nodded his head, “Sure. Let’s go home.”

Ye Youyou heaved a sigh of relief and immediately dragged Li Jinnan back to her front door. She quickly entered her passcode and opened the door.

Auntie Zhao’s displeasure intensified. She muttered to herself, “What the hell? Why do you have to hide your man away? Do you think I’m going to gobble him up at my age?”

Li Jinnan had a very good sense of hearing. He managed to pick up what she said. His lips turned up in a smile.

When he entered, he found that the interiors of the house was identical to what it had been the day before. However, this time around, he found it a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Ye Youyou placed the breakfast down. As she was setting the table, she asked, “GM Li, when will you be going back to Kingstown?”

Li Jinnan turned to face her and commented, “That’s not what you called me just now.”
