So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

…………

When Zhou You returned home after grocery shopping, the living room was bright, and Yun Daidai's shoes were placed in the entryway.

Yun Mingyue took a business laptop and sat on the sofa to handle work-related matters. Yun Daidai was not in the living room, so she was probably in her room on the second floor.

"Little brother, you're back." Yun Mingyue closed her notebook, went up to him, and glanced at the groceries in Zhou You's hands. "Why did you buy so much?"

She was surprised at first, then looked up at the second floor, "Dai Dai might not be willing to eat the dinner I made."

After she finished speaking, she waved to Zhou You, signaling him to walk with her into the kitchen.

Zhou You carried the groceries and followed Yun Mingyue into the kitchen. She took down the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her waist.

"How about I cook dinner?" He had come to Yun Mingyue's house twice, but he hadn't had a chance to show off his cooking skills.

"I'm afraid Dai Dai will burst into tears if she eats your cooking," Yun Mingyue complained. "That would be a real hassle. You can cook for me separately next time when she's not home."

She paused for a moment, patted her apron, and said, "You've fed me so well, I'm quite full."

Zhou You always felt that every word Yun Mingyue said had a deeper meaning, but that was probably just his imagination.

He banished his distracting thoughts, reached into the cool pool to wash a black fish clean, and handed it to Yun Mingyue.

Watching Yun Mingyue lay the fish flat on the cutting board, one small hand pressed down on the tail, and the other hand quickly pulled the knife across, and then thin slices of fish were cut out.

She made a few cuts and still felt the knife wasn't sharp enough. Too lazy to take out the whetstone under the stove, she simply sharpened it a couple of times on the bottom of the bowl and made do with it for now.

Even if you couldn't tell from steaming buns before, no one would think Yun Mingyue is a girl who never lifts a finger.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good cook, Sister Hua."

"Isn't it good to have cooking skills?" Yun Mingyue glanced at Zhou You and replied with a light laugh, "Only if I have cooking skills can I cook for you."

"..."

"Don't just stand there, go wash the vegetables, peel the potatoes, there are dried wood ear mushrooms in the refrigerator, soak a small handful."

Zhou You obediently followed Yun Mingyue's instructions, doing whatever she told him to do.

The ingredients were almost ready in no time. Yun Mingyue poured some oil into the pot, swirled it around, and heated the pot.

It's sizzling!

The vegetables sizzled as they were thrown into the oil. Yun Mingyue skillfully stirred them with a spatula, and the aroma quickly filled the entire kitchen.

Zhou You stared at her earnest and focused little face, somewhat lost in thought.

"Don't you think I'm even more suitable to be your wife than you imagined?" Yun Mingyue poured a ladle of water into the pot, put the lid on, turned her head and asked Zhou You with a smile.

"Ahem." Zhou You, his thoughts exposed, turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Yun Mingyue asked Zhou You to pour the cooked food from the pot into a large bowl. "I'm such a nice older sister to you now, you should be happy."

"Sister Hua, what you said... is absolutely right."

Like Yun Mingyue, who is a cold and aloof CEO outside, a virtuous wife at home, and even a charming and seductive enchantress later on, she is an older sister with a thousand different ways.

He should indeed be happy, or rather, try to hold on tight and never let go again.

Who would be willing to give her up to someone else?

Zhou You carried the dishes to the dining table and put them down, then turned back to the kitchen to serve rice. Yun Mingyue reluctantly went upstairs to call Yun Daidai down for dinner.

To their surprise, Yun Daidai actually came downstairs, and not only did she eat, she ate a lot and was very happy.

"Dinner was delicious." She praised it earnestly after finishing her meal, which was as unusual as it could be.

Yun Mingyue's gaze sharpened, then she deliberately curled her lips into a smile, "If it weren't for my younger brother being home, I wouldn't have cooked for you. You should thank your stepfather properly."

Yun Daidai maintained her smile and ignored Yun Mingyue's taunts. She circled the dining table, walked to Zhou You's side, and casually brushed her hand against his pocket.

Zhou You noticed a weight in his pocket and heard a crisp, short sound, as if some metal object had been put in.

"Thank you, Dad."

Yun Daidai thanked him loudly, then lowered her voice and said, "This is the key to your goddaughter's room. I'm giving it to you, Dad."

98. Wouldn't it be better to act recklessly?

After Yun Daidai finished speaking, she quickly left, giving Zhou You no time to react.

After she went upstairs, Zhou You reached into his pocket and placed a bunch of keys on the dining table; the brass keys reflected a white light.

"Sister Hua, this bunch of keys..."

"You can keep this key," Yun Mingyue's answer was unexpected.

When she saw the key, she understood why Yun Daidai had acted so strangely earlier.

"Otherwise, Dai Dai will definitely give you her room key again next time, and it's really pointless to keep doing this."

Yun Mingyue paused, propped herself up on the dining table, moved her body across the short distance between them, and leaned her head close to his, her clear eyes meeting his gaze.

"As long as you're not tempted, isn't that enough? Or... are you afraid?"

She stared intently into Zhou You's eyes, not wanting to see even the slightest wavering in them.

Fortunately, Zhou You did not disappoint him.

"Three years is enough time to squander all my love for her. It's impossible for Yun Daidai and I to have that kind of relationship anymore."

"Mmm." Yun Mingyue lowered her head and gently kissed him.

In the shadows on the second floor, Yun Daidai, whose expression was beyond description, watched silently.

…………

The next day, Sunday.

It was a normal holiday, but Yun Mingyue, being a very busy person, not only didn't get a day off, but became even busier because National Day was approaching.

After having breakfast, Zhou You left the villa, but Yun Daidai, who was still dressed up as she had yesterday and whose appearance would turn heads, was clinging to him.

"you……"

"I'm going back to school, and this is just on my way," Yun Daidai explained before Zhou You questioned her.

Zhou You had no choice but to restrain himself and pretend not to see Yun Daidai following him closely. She not only deliberately entered the same subway car, but also stood next to him instead of sitting down where there were seats nearby.

The subway train started running, and the outside world outside the window was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. After passing several stations, Zhou You couldn't hold back any longer.

Did you miss your stop?

"Ah! It seems so." Yun Daidai looked shocked, though it was hard to tell if she was faking it. "Anyway, I've already sat here, so I'll just wait until I get back to school."

"..."

Zhou You thought Yun Daidai would probably shamelessly follow him to his house, because she was obviously no longer afraid of anything. Even if he forced himself on her, she might be more excited than him and willingly strip naked and lie down for him to take.

So after thinking for a while...

Hangzhou University (Z University)

Yun Daidai, who had dressed herself up exceptionally well in order to surpass Yun Mingyue, followed behind Zhou You with her hands folded in front of her and taking small, quick steps.

Z, a college student passing by the school gate, stopped and stood there.

Attracted by the campus belle, who was much more radiant and beautiful than usual.

"Is that Yun, the school beauty? She looks so pretty today. I didn't know she usually doesn't put on makeup properly?"

"Otherwise what? Does Z University have another girl this pretty?"

A girl passing by immediately gave the boy a disgusted look. Although what he said was true, wasn't it too disrespectful to girls to say it so bluntly?

She looked at the boy carefully for a moment and memorized his appearance.

The boy, unaware that he might have lost his right to choose a partner in college, was still admiring Yun Daidai's stunning beauty and noticed Zhou You walking briskly ahead of her.

"Isn't that Yun, the school beauty, her ex-boyfriend?"

"It really does seem to be that man named Zhou You." Someone opened the forum and found a few photos to confirm.

Then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he looked shocked. "Could it be that the school beauty Yun has gotten back together with her ex-boyfriend? Is she dressed up so beautifully today because she's going on a date with him?"

"???" *N

Many people focused their attention on the person who was too quick-witted, and felt disheartened by the increasingly plausible fact.

Although most of them did not believe they could win Yun Daidai's heart, that was precisely why they hoped Yun Daidai would remain single.

It's the same principle as fans hoping their idols will be single.

Thinking of this, everyone cast undisguised envious glances at Zhou You.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Zhou You quickened his pace while silently complaining to himself.

If these students knew that he wasn't with Yun Daidai, but with her mother, Yun Mingyue, a beautiful CEO with a net worth of hundreds of billions, it would be a disaster.

Will they suffocate?

"Why did you suddenly come to school?" Yun Daidai quickly stepped forward to ask, she had originally planned to follow Zhou You to his house.

She even considered the possibility that if she really angered Zhou You, he might take advantage of her...

Wouldn't that be better?

"I'm here to see Teacher Ning." Zhou You looked at the teachers' office building not far ahead and planned to have Ning Moxin cover for him.

He quickened his pace and walked into the office building, waving politely to Yun Daidai before getting on the elevator.

"Goodbye."

Yun Daidai didn't follow them, after all, she couldn't just force her way into the principal's office.

She simply stood outside the elevator, staring intently at the changing numbers on the elevator display, a sense of melancholy in her heart.

It's so hard to win over a cold person. I really don't know how he managed to persevere back then.

As Yun Daidai stood blankly outside the elevator, some curious students followed behind her, scrutinizing her dejected figure.

"Are you sure Yun, the school beauty, and Zhou, the junior, have really gotten back together? Did they just get back from a date?" A senior wearing jeans, showing off her long, fair legs, asked a few juniors nearby.

The younger students glanced at Yun Daidai, and they were also a little uncertain. "It doesn't seem like the school beauty Yun came back from a date with Zhou You, but rather..."

They hesitated for a moment, looking at each other before revealing their guess: "...they dressed up carefully and begged to get back together, but were rejected."
