She bumped into his arms.

He steadied her with one hand, his tone flat. "Back"

He glanced back and said, "Auntie Lin took Limxi out to play!"

Anran wanted to ask him how he was here, but he probably already knew. He then said: "I'm here to deliver something to Linxi, I'll be leaving soon!"

Huo Yunsi seemed to feel it wasn't enough, he put on his coat, looked at her suitcase and then raised his eyes: "I want to talk to you about Lin Xi, are you free now"

His tone was completely that of a qualified ex, not clingy, very rational.

Anran didn't want to appear rude either.

She put down her suitcase and said coolly, "Fine!"

Huo Yunsi had already opened the door: "I'll be waiting for you at the cafe at the crossroads." After that, he went downstairs first.

Anran heard the sound of the door closing. She stood at the doorway for a while before she regained her composure, then she dragged her luggage back to the bedroom and without tidying up, simply washed her face before going out.

After a busy month, she lost a lot of weight. When she took off her coat at the coffee shop, she looked much thinner.

Ho Yunsi ordered her a cup of coffee.

An Ran lowered her head and took a sip, Huo Yunsi watched her, and said softly, "I heard you got promoted. You deserve congratulations. From now on, you shouldn't be called An Secretary anymore, you should be called An CEO!"

His tone was a mixture of coldness and mockery.

Everyone was affected.

She smiled faintly: "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yunsi leaned back and looked at her quietly for a while before continuing, "What are your plans for Lin Xi Do you intend to keep him like this"

An Ran held her coffee cup and asked rhetorically, "Do you want him Didn't you say that Lin Xi wouldn't be a legitimate heir if we weren't together He's better off staying with me."

Huoyuns thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's a good idea."

He took out a document from his coat pocket and gently placed it in front of Anran. Anran picked it up and saw that it was a co-parenting agreement. It was a very simple agreement, stating that Lin Xi could receive 200,000 yuan in monthly child support living with her, as well as a special education fund. In short, Huo Yunsi guaranteed Lin Xi's food and clothing for life, but there wasn't much else. Huo Yunsi's right was to have the right to visit at any time.

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief, actually this was quite good.

Huo Yuns thought sipped half a cup of coffee and handed over a pen: "It seems like you're satisfied. If there are no problems, sign here and we can consider... this matter settled! From now on, we men get married to women, nothing to do with each other."

He can be somewhat pushy.

This word, An Ran definitely has to sign it, otherwise she would seem unattached.

A two-copy agreement, her fingers trembled slightly as she signed, but there was no hesitation, because Huo Yunsi had already signed it. He must have been waiting for her to come back all along.

After signing, she handed him the agreement.

He put away a piece of paper, then rose gracefully and bid her farewell.

Throughout the entire conversation, he didn't utter a single unnecessary word. He didn't say anything about their personal feelings. It seemed like over the past month, he had made up his mind and decided to break things off cleanly.

If there were no lingering affection, they wouldn't even bother with these formalities.

An Ran nodded lightly.

She didn't leave immediately, but slowly finished a cup of coffee. The fact that Huo Yunsi had ordered her an iced coffee on such a cold day spoke volumes.

She didn't overreact either. Since they broke up, she wasn't expecting any more consideration from men.

She is to Lin Xi only as Huo Yunsi's mother.

When leaving, Anran's whole body was icy cold…

But if asked afterward, she wouldn't regret it. If two people with different frequencies truly got married, they would fight every day, and that would be more harmful to Lin Xi.

Back at the apartment, Lin's aunt and Limxi had already returned.

Besides them, there were even Lin Bin and Sister Shu Fen, along with their children. The whole family was bustling with laughter and conversation.

After calmly opening the door, she was stunned.

She was dazed for a long time, and finally Aunt Lin said awkwardly while picking vegetables, “Last time you borrowed some money to your elder brother, he managed to earn quite a bit and plugged the hole. He also brought your sister-in-law and children back to live together.”

An Ran smiled serenely and called out to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Lin Bin's little girl, about seven or eight years old, was a well-behaved little girl who looked at An Ran timidly... An Ran walked over and bent down, taking out a red envelope: "Call me aunt and I'll give you this."

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "You're so big now, you're still as playful as a child."

Little girl called her aunt with a pretty, youthful voice. She liked the beautiful aunt who dressed so well and smelled so nice.

Anran gave her the red envelope and patted her little head.

Linxi is quite attached to her older sister, following her around all the time.

The children went out to play, Anran changed her clothes and helped Aunt Lin cook. Lin Bin was familiar with the place and watched TV as usual. His wife, however, sat stiffly beside Anran and said little.

Lin Shen waited for a while before speaking, “Mr. Huo sent over some New Year's goods just now. The kitchen is full of food and supplies he brought. It must have been quite a hassle for someone of his status to bring them all up here.”

"I just bumped into him/her earlier."

Auntie Lin looked at her face and knew that the meeting wasn't pleasant. She couldn't help but sigh: "You two are both proud people. Even though you have feelings for each other, you both can't let go of your pride."

On the market, Shan was uneasy talking to Aunt Lin.

Ho Yunsi gave her no way out.

He stole business from Zhongtian, and the Gu and Huo family groups have become deeply entangled!

An Ran's situation is very delicate. She has to either leave Gu Shi and be with him, or if she wants to stay at Gu Shi, she can't have any romantic involvement with Huo Yunsi anymore.

Lin Shen again used her son and daughter-in-law as an example: "Look at your eldest brother and sister-in-law, they quarrel and now they are doing fine."

Anran smiled faintly.

Instead, it was Shu Fen who got flustered. Lin Bin came over and embraced his wife: "Look at how embarrassed your sister-in-law is, she's a straightforward person."

An Ran took the opportunity to say, "Then work hard so that your sister-in-law and children can live a good life."

Lin Bin was very grateful to Anran for this time he made it ashore.

His throat tightened. “Got it, brother!”

It's lively when the whole family eats together. Lin Bin also heard that An Ran was promoted, so he couldn't help but make a fuss about it. Aunt Lin laughed so hard her mouth could barely close, and even Shu Fen felt that there was hope for their lives.

After the meal, Lin Bin took out a card and gave it to An Ran.

"There's 350,000 yuan inside. The extra amount is considered a red envelope from me to Linxi. Over the years, I've been eating and drinking here for free without ever giving anything decent as a gift."

There's no way Anran would agree to that.

She not only didn't take the 50,000 yuan, but she also wasn't planning to take the 300,000 yuan.

"Keep it! Save some more so you can afford a down payment on a house. Nini is going to start elementary school soon, and as her dad, I need to think about the future for my child."

Lin Bin lowered his head and sighed: "I'll definitely pay back this money later."

Anran didn't mind these things. Aunt Lin's kindness was far beyond what 30,000 yuan could repay...litely, "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Huo. I'll take a taxi."Huo Yunsi's eyes were deep.He looked at her and asked, "What's the matter, afraid you owe me a favor"An Ran lowered her eyes and said, "Mr....
