A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

"That's my business. What does it matter whether she knows or not?" Li Meihua said dismissively. "It's not like she's getting married, it's me getting married."

"You can't say that, the opinions of elders are still quite important," Zhuang Qingxiang said thoughtfully. "You wouldn't like your marriage not being blessed, would you?"

Sun Yongxian followed up, "Moreover, it seems to me that Comrade Huang Yuejin doesn't want to accept your advances."

Huang Yuejin nodded vigorously: "We're not a good match."

"Then what exactly is inappropriate?" Li Meihua immediately pressed. "Every time I bring it up, you say it's inappropriate. So please explain clearly what's inappropriate? Am I too unattractive? Am I not good at my job? Or are you just bothered by the fact that I've been married before?"

Huang Yuejin's face scrunched up: "No, you're great, everything about you is great, but we're not a good match."

"Then what exactly is wrong with it?" Li Meihua asked anxiously.

Huang Yuejin was stared at by the three women, looking embarrassed. It took him a long time to finally say, "Yes, it's my problem. I'm not good enough for you."

Huang Yuejin didn't know how to tell them. Jin Guilan had subtly warned him long ago not to covet Li Meihua.

After they got to know each other better, Jin Guilan stopped saying such things. She probably saw that he had never had any feelings for Li Meihua, so she was completely at ease with him and started seeing him even more often.

If Jin Guilan finds out, she'll definitely make a scene.

Huang Yuejin sighed and said earnestly, "Li Meihua, can you please stop making a scene?"

This time, Li Meihua was truly aggrieved, her eyes welling up with tears: "I like you, and you're saying I'm being unreasonable?"

Huang Yuejin scratched his head, wondering why he couldn't understand what was being said.

He's a good person, otherwise, if he were a bad person, she would be so eager to be with him. If he played with her and then dumped her, she would have nowhere to cry.

"You shouldn't do that again. It's better for women to be a little more reserved," he advised patiently. "And don't casually tell a guy you're pursuing him or that you like him, unless you've known him for years and you're sure he's a good person."

Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian exchanged a glance, both understanding what the other was thinking: They hadn't expected Huang Yuejin to be such a nice guy!

They could all see that Huang Yuejin meant well in his advice, but Li Meihua was completely unreasonable: "Are you saying I'm not reserved? That I'm promiscuous?"

"No, no, I didn't say that, don't misunderstand." Huang Yuejin was so frightened that he almost stammered.

Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled Li Meihua aside and said to Huang Yuejin, "Why don't you pack up the food and take it home first? I want to talk to Li Meihua."

"Great, thank you, Comrade Zhuang." Huang Yuejin couldn't wait to pack up the food and take it away, moving so fast it was as if a dog was chasing him.

Li Meihua kept staring at him, making him feel uneasy, to the point that he almost tripped and fell when he went out.

"Pfft..." Li Meihua couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Turning to Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian, she said frankly, "You don't need to persuade me, I've just fallen for him."

Zhuang Qingxiang: "..." This girl is really fierce.

"Can I ask about your thought process? How did you fall for him?" Sun Yongxian asked curiously.

"What's there to be conflicted about? He's kind-hearted, has helped me and my mom a lot, and although he's fierce outside, he's never been harsh to me or my mom. Besides... he respects me a lot, or rather, he respects women. Don't you think so?"

Zhuang Qingxiang recalled carefully. Although many people were afraid and disdainful of Huang Yuejin and had said a lot about him, they had never said that he bullied female comrades. Even when he was about to get engaged to his ex-girlfriend, it fell through, and he did nothing to her.

"Tsk..." Sun Yongxian smiled, "It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He's so perfect in your eyes."

"Right!" Li Meihua nodded. "I think it's great. Even in front of my two older brothers, he's someone my mom and I can rely on."

Zhuang Qingxiang felt that this was the most truthful answer.

Originally, Li Meihua had agreed to take turns caring for Li Weixing, but now she was unwilling because she had been heartbroken by her two older brothers.

Because of Li Weixing's affair, Li Chao and Li Wei's career prospects are almost ruined. Now they are constantly being pointed at and gossiped about at work. Under these circumstances, they dare not do anything to Huang Yuejin, so they only dare to extort money from him. However, their extortion tactics are ineffective against Huang Yuejin.

"But the problem is, no matter how good he is, he's unwilling. Can you force him to agree?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked.

Li Meihua shrugged: "It's easier for a woman than a man to pursue a man. I'm the one who's pursuing him now. How long can he hold out? Besides... I don't think he's not interested in me. I guess my mom said something to him, and he doesn't dare to accept my advances at all."

"You seem to know Sister Jin quite well," Zhuang Qingxiang said with a smile. "Then why don't you get your mother on board first, and then go after him?"

"No need. I'll catch up with them first, and my mother will have no choice but to acknowledge them!" Li Meihua said confidently.

Sun Yongxian asked curiously, "Are you so sure you can catch up with him?"

Li Meihua coughed lightly: "At worst, we can just make it a fait accompli. He's not the irresponsible type."

Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian were speechless with shock at her outrageous words.

Li Meihua, however, was quite frank: "I'm not a virgin anymore. I like him, and I won't lose out."

Zhuang Qingxiang: "..."

Sun Yongxian gave a thumbs up again.

"Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I'm leaving now. It's a rare weekend today, I can't let him get away."

Li Meihua ran off as soon as she finished speaking, clearly to chase after Huang Yuejin.

Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian looked at each other in bewilderment.

Now, unable to eat, Sun Yongxian winked at Zhuang Qingxiang, "You think Li Meihua really dares to do that? Is it considered indecent assault for a woman to do that...? Sister Jin really won't break her legs?"

Zhuang Qingxiang felt that Li Meihua was just talking; Huang Yuejin was taller and stronger than her, and it wouldn't be so easy for her to force herself on him.

Zhuang Qingxiang was slapped in the face again.

Li Meihua is truly daring, and she's downright brazen.

While Jin Guilan was away from home, Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran went out, and she called Huang Yuejin over and blocked him on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Huang Yuejin had never seen anything like this before.

He was familiar with fighting, but he had never actually seen fairies fight.

As soon as Li Meihua took off her clothes, blood gushed from his nose, which made Li Meihua laugh out loud.

When she approached, Huang Yuejin dared not look at her or push her away, dodging left and right. But when Li Meihua reached out her hand, he froze.

Li Meihua laughed smugly: "Huang Yuejin, you're not being honest! But this place is very honest."

"Li Meihua, I'm warning you... you... um..." The threatening warning turned into a muffled groan, and he became both hard and soft, unable to resist Li Meihua at all.

Li Meihua was so engrossed in teasing Huang Yuejin that she forgot to pay attention to what was happening outside, and didn't even hear Jin Guilan return.
