After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

She opened her message list and found that it was from Chen Mo.

Lan Yujuan stared at the three words on the screen, her mind filled with question marks.

She hesitated for a moment, then replied with a question mark.

Then, on the other side of the dialog box, it kept displaying: The other party is typing...

She waited and waited, but didn't receive a reply from the other party for a long time.

Just as she was about to give up and put her phone back, continuing to try to fall asleep, the chat window vibrated again.

"My family is pressuring me to get help, so I'd like to ask for your assistance."

In the darkness, Lan Yujuan frowned, subconsciously recalling the things Chen Mo's sister had told her on the phone earlier that day...

I guess it's that matter.

After weighing the options in her mind, Lan Yujuan replied carefully:

"What's wrong? Tell me first."

This time, the other party's input time was significantly shorter.

"For the past few days, my sister has been urging me to go on blind dates and even forcing me to bring a suitable blind date home."

"I really don't want to keep going on blind dates. It's a waste of my time and time for others."

"How about this? I'd like to ask you to do me a favor and pretend to be my blind date. Come home with me for a casual meal this weekend."

"As long as my sister knows that I'm seeing a suitable girl recently, she can rest assured and stop nagging me every day."

Lan Yujuan thought about it carefully, and decided that she didn't plan to find a partner anytime soon anyway.

Besides, given Chen Mo's wealth, family background, and his own outstanding abilities, there's no way he would be interested in a divorced woman like me!

As long as Chen Mo doesn't mind, this isn't a big deal for me.

After all, it's just accompanying Chen Mo home for a casual meal, not going to get a marriage certificate with him, so what's there to be afraid of?

After thinking it through, Lan Yujuan, remembering Chen Mo's help to her and his friendship with Qin Zhang, immediately agreed.

"Okay, which day?"

"Tell me the time first, and I'll prepare in advance."

"I'll wait for you at the intersection outside the community, and you can come pick me up."

Upon seeing that she had agreed, the person on the other end immediately replied:

"Okay, then let's set it for Saturday noon. I'll come pick you up."

After the matter was settled, Lan Yujuan was about to put down her phone.

Unexpectedly, another message popped up in the dialog box:

"You've done me such a huge favor, how can I possibly thank you?"

"If there's anything I can help you with, just say so."

"If it's within my power, I will definitely do it!"

Without thinking, Lan Yujuan replied:

"Thank you, I don't need any help. Goodnight!"

After saying that, he turned off the phone screen and stuffed it back under his pillow.

Lan Yujuan turned to the side, preparing to hold her daughter and continue sleeping.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes in the darkness, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

She pulled out her phone again and quickly opened Chen Mo's chat window:

"Are you asleep?"

This time, the other side replied with a question mark instantly.

Lan Yujuan held her phone, a sudden surge of nervousness washing over her. She typed, deleted, and then continued typing...

"I need your help."

The next day, early morning.

After breakfast, Lan Yujuan led her bouncy daughter down the stairs.

From the moment the door closed until the moment the little one stepped out of the building, he looked up for the third time and asked softly, his eyes sparkling:

"Mom, will Dad really come to take me to school today?"

Lan Yujuan nodded gently and patiently explained again:

"Of course!"

"You'll see him as soon as you leave the residential area!"

"However, you must remember what your mother told you: this is a secret between us."

"Don't let any other adults know, and don't let Grandpa and Grandma know either, understand?"

The little guy nodded happily and vigorously, "Yes, I won't tell anyone!"

"But Mom, can I tell my friends?" The little guy tilted his head, looking troubled and embarrassed.

If even a child can't speak, then what's the point of her having this new father?

Lan Yujuan bent down, reached out and tapped the little guy's nose, saying affectionately:

"sure!"

"If any child in your class dares to say anything to you again, you'll see!"

"For the next week, your new dad will come to pick you up from school on time every day!"

"Until all the children in your kindergarten know that you have a father and they no longer dare to bully you."

After hearing this, the little guy giggled happily, his eyes almost squinting into slits.

What are you two laughing at?

Suddenly, a voice popped out from the side.

Before the two could turn around, they saw a tall figure approaching, bending down and picking up the little one with one hand.

The little guy was initially a bit dazed, but after recognizing Chen Mo, he was both surprised and delighted.

The little guy immediately blushed and leaned to one side, falling into Chen Mo's arms.

Then, while avoiding Chen Mo's gaze, she blushed and reached out to hug Chen Mo's neck tightly.

She absolutely adores this "new dad"!

The little one entered kindergarten happily on her first day; on the second day, she stood tall and proud.

Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo stood side by side in the most conspicuous spot outside the kindergarten gate, waving frequently to the little guy who was looking back.

Lan Xiaoman finally felt relieved and strode into the teaching area, her small figure disappearing at the end of the corner.

Lan Yujuan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Phew~"

That should be settled now!

After dropping her child off at school and returning home, Lan Yujuan immediately began working on her career.

Just as she finished her morning work and picked up her phone, Li Rui called.

"Lan Yujuan, you're amazing!" Li Rui exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the phone.

Lan Yujuan was completely bewildered by these inexplicable words, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Huh? What did I do to be so amazing? I had no idea."

On the other end of the phone, Li Rui said earnestly, "Delete the video!"

"Tell me honestly, what method did you use?"

"All the videos Liu Qian filmed about you during her previous live streams, as well as the video clips edited together and widely circulated in alumni groups, have disappeared overnight!"

"Lan Yujuan, you wouldn't happen to know some mysterious big shot, would you?"

Lan Yujuan smiled and replied subconsciously:

"How could a nobody like me possibly know any big shots?"

"I guess Liu Qian got guilty yesterday after hearing I was going to sue her!"

Even so, for some reason, Chen Mo's words suddenly popped into Lan Yujuan's mind:

"I'll handle this."

So, could it have been Chen Mo who did it?

Lan Yujuan wasn't quite sure, so she decided to ask him indirectly when she had some free time in the evening.

If it really was him who helped with it, then I owe him another favor this time!

Regardless, Lan Yujuan was still very happy that the matter was resolved so quickly.

She wasn't afraid of gossip, but she started to worry that if it spread widely, it would affect her daughter's normal life.

The two chatted briefly, and before they knew it, the conversation had drifted to other topics.

Several days later, Lan Yujuan finally seized the opportunity and couldn't help but ask gossipily:

"I heard that your relationship with my brother has progressed rapidly in just two or three days?"

"Hehe, Li Rui, tell me honestly, what exactly happened!"

Lan Yujuan didn't even need to think about it to guess that Li Rui on the other end of the phone must be blushing furiously.

But what surprised her even more was Li Rui's frankness and straightforwardness on the phone:

"What else could it be? He's asleep!"

Lan Yujuan was dumbfounded. "Huh? Pouncing on him?"

Before she introduced them, didn't they not know each other?

That's incredibly fast, almost like riding a rocket!

Just by listening to Li Rui's voice on the other end of the phone, one could easily picture his smug and cunning expression.

"Are you stupid, or am I stupid?"

"Your brother can't come home even once every year or two, and I'm already twenty-six this year."

"I can't just stand at home like a statue, waiting for him to come back so we can have some innocent romance, can I?"

"Today, I'll secretly teach you a trick: Once you've identified your target, just go for it!"
