When Zhou Bingkun returned home, he saw Aunt Qiao leaving the house.

After greeting Aunt Qiao, Zhou Bingkun entered the house and said to Li Suhua, "Mom, I'm back!"

"Sit down and rest for a bit, I'll go make you some food!"

The next day, Zhou Bingkun returned home and found that Qiao Chunyan was actually chatting with his mother.

Upon seeing Zhou Bingkun return, Qiao Chunyan greeted him warmly: "Brother Bingkun."

"Chunyan, what are you doing here?" Zhou Bingkun asked in surprise.

Qiao Chunyan laughed heartily, "Why can't I be here? Brother Bingkun, Auntie invited me to dinner today."

"My mom asked you to come?" Zhou Bingkun looked at Li Suhua, who was cooking, with suspicion.

Li Suhua smiled and nodded, saying, "Kun'er, Chunyan is right. I invited her over. I'm usually bored at home alone, so I asked Chunyan to come and chat with me."

Qiao Chunyan stepped forward and took Li Suhua's arm, smiling as she said, "Brother Bingkun, did you hear that?"

Zhou Bingkun looked suspicious; he felt that this matter was not so simple.

Why didn't you invite Qiao Chunyan to dinner before? Why did you suddenly invite her today?

Thinking about what happened in the future video, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but feel wary.

Could it be that Mom is in cahoots with Aunt Qiao to try and match him up with Qiao Chunyan?

If that's the case, then we can't wait until our break to bring Zheng Juan home; we have to bring her over now.

That way, my mother and Aunt Qiao won't have to put any more effort into me and Qiao Chunyan.

So Zhou Bingkun said to Qiao Chunyan, "Since it was my mother who asked you to stay and eat with her, then you can stay and eat with her! I have something to do tonight and I have to go out."

With that, he put his things back in his room and prepared to leave.

"Brother Bingkun, where are you going?" Qiao Chunyan grabbed Zhou Bingkun, who was about to leave.

She came today ostensibly to have dinner with Li Suhua, but in reality, she came for Zhou Bingkun.

Her mother had already told her to spend more time with Zhou Bingkun and cultivate their relationship.

She did not object to this and even happily agreed.

She and Zhou Bingkun grew up together and had feelings for each other.

Now that Zhou Bingkun has become more educated and found such a good job, she is naturally even happier to be with him.

Women naturally mature earlier than men and have more ideas than men, and Qiao Chunyan is an outstanding example of this.

Zhou Bingkun calmly pulled his arm away: "I'm going to find Guoqing and the others."

“Then I’ll go too. It’s been a few days since I’ve seen Guoqing and Ganchao.”

Zhou Bingkun glanced at her: "Weren't you supposed to have dinner with my mom?"

Qiao Chunyan's tone faltered.

At this moment, Li Suhua stepped in to smooth things over: "I don't need to accompany you, Chunyan, you go with Bingkun."

Qiao Chunyan's eyes darted around, and she ran over to Li Suhua with quick steps, taking Li Suhua's arm: "Never mind then, Auntie, I'll have dinner with you instead."

Li Suhua was happy, but she still patted Qiao Chunyan's hand and said, "I'm not at the point where I need company yet. You young people have more to talk about."

"Auntie, I'll stay with you," Qiao Chunyan insisted.

"Really, there's no need." Li Suhua's attitude was also firm.

So Qiao Chunyan had no choice but to go along with it: "Okay, Auntie, then I'll take you to our bathhouse next time I come, and I'll give you a pedicure then, I promise you'll feel comfortable."

"That's great! I haven't been to a public bathhouse in ages. You'll have to take me there next time." Li Suhua nodded with a smile.

"I guarantee there won't be any problem. I'll personally take you there, and everything will be arranged perfectly," Qiao Chunyan assured, patting her chest.

Her strategy was simple: as long as she could please Li Suhua, her relationship with Bingkun would be on the verge of success.

Zhou Bingkun was too lazy to watch their charade, so he opened the door and was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Chunyan hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Brother Bingkun, wait for me!"

Stepping outside into the courtyard, Zhou Bingkun looked at Qiao Chunyan, who was following closely behind him: "Chunyan, I really have something to do. You can either stay and have dinner with my mother, or you can go back."

Qiao Chunyan muttered, "It's just playing with Guoqing and Ganchao, I want to go too."

"Can you please not meddle in our men's gathering?"

Upon seeing Zhou Bingkun's harsh tone, Qiao Chunyan's expression changed, and she said in a wronged tone, "Brother Bingkun, do you hate me now? What did I do to upset you that you treat me like this?"

“Chunyan, I understand what you mean.” Zhou Bingkun wasn’t the type to string a girl along. “But I already have a girl I like, and I’m determined to marry her! So, you don’t need to waste any more time on me.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chunyan immediately flew into a rage: "Who is it? Brother Bingkun, who do you like? Is it someone from our Guangzi district? Is there a better girl than me in the Guangzi district?"

"It's not the girl from the 'Light Card'. But who she is is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you."

Qiao Chunyan still didn't believe it: "Brother Bingkun, you're lying to me, aren't you? You just want to reject me this way, don't you?"

Zhou Bingkun looked at Qiao Chunyan very seriously: "Chunyan, I... I do have someone I like! And we're not a good match."

Qiao Chunyan automatically ignored the first half of Zhou Bingkun's sentence and seized on the second half, asking, "How can we not be suitable? We grew up together and know each other so well. Your mother and my mother are best friends, our two families know each other inside and out. I like you, and you like me, so how can we not be suitable?"

“Hey, hold on! I can tell you with certainty that I don’t have romantic feelings for you.” Zhou Bingkun corrected Qiao Chunyan’s mistake. “As for why we’re not a good match? It’s simple. I like women who can manage a household. I don’t need her to have a job, as long as she stays at home and there’s a hot meal waiting for me when I come home every day. In the future, when we have children, she can stay home to take care of them, look after the elderly, and devote herself wholeheartedly to our family.”

"Qiao Chunyan, can you do these things? Can you give up working for me? You can't! So we're not suitable for each other."

Zhou Bingkun knew very well that Qiao Chunyan's feelings for him were not pure.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be with Cao Debao in future videos.

"I..." Qiao Chunyan wanted to say that she could, but when she saw Zhou Bingkun's serious look, she couldn't say the words.

She was an ambitious woman who wanted to take control of her own destiny.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. You should head home early too!"

After saying that, Zhou Bingkun turned and left, heading towards Taiping Hutong.

When Zhou Bingkun arrived at Zheng Juan's house, he found that they had not returned yet, so he waited at the door.

After a while, Zhou Bingkun saw Zheng Juan pulling the cart, walking slowly through the snow.

Zhou Bingkun immediately went to greet him.

"Oh, what brings you here?" Zheng Juan was quite surprised to see Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun took the cart from Zheng Juan: "I need to talk to you about something. Auntie, Guangming."

Both Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming greeted Zhou Bingkun warmly.

After Zhou Bingkun expressed his attitude to Zheng Juan, both Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming regarded Zhou Bingkun as family.

With Zhou Bingkun's help, the handcart was quickly pulled to the door.

“Auntie, I’m planning to take Zheng Juan home to meet my mother. What do you think?” Although Zhou Bingkun had already told Zheng Juan yesterday, he still wanted to talk to her mother since she was here.

Zheng's mother naturally had no objections; she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Although Zhou Bingkun is now completely devoted to Zheng Juan, he still feels somewhat uneasy because they haven't officially married and registered their marriage.

"Okay, I have no objection. Bingkun, I'll listen to you."

Zheng Juan, on the other hand, was both shy and nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say yesterday that it would be a few days? Why has it changed to now?"

She certainly didn't mind meeting Zhou Bingkun's mother.

She was very uneasy, worried that Zhou Bingkun's mother might not like her.

Seeing Zheng Juan's nervous expression, Zhou Bingkun said, "Well, something unexpected happened! But don't worry, no matter what, I will marry no one but you!"

“Okay, I’m not afraid, I’ll go with you.” Zheng Juan nodded, her face flushed.

Zhou Bingkun told Zheng's mother and Zheng Guangming, then took Zheng Juan's hand and headed home.

Zheng Juan, who was being pulled along by Zhou Bingkun, became increasingly nervous after entering the light-filled area.

Even though she kept encouraging herself, once she got to the outside of the Zhou family's courtyard, she found it hard to take another step.

Feeling the sweat on Zheng Juan's palms, Zhou Bingkun lowered his hand from the door and turned to look at her: "Zheng Juan, look at me!" Zheng Juan looked up at Zhou Bingkun and gave him a gentle smile.

Zhou Bingkun solemnly said to Zheng Juan, "Juan'er, don't be afraid, I will always stand with you!"

Those few words gave Zheng Juan an immense sense of security and fulfillment.

She nodded emphatically: "Yes."

Zhou Bingkun gently squeezed Zheng Juan's hand, then walked into the courtyard and pushed open the door.

Zhou Bingkun entered the house, only to find that Qiao Chunyan was still there.

I'm having dinner with my mom right now.

Seeing Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan suddenly walk in, Li Suhua and Qiao Chunyan looked even more surprised than Zhou Bingkun.

Li Suhua's face was very ugly, and she glared fiercely at Zhou Bingkun.

Then he looked at Zheng Juan and immediately guessed her identity.

Although she had never officially met Zheng Juan, she had seen her from afar once.

This is the first time we've met up close.

She wanted to see for herself what Zheng Juan was capable of that made her son like her so much.

Qiao Chunyan was both surprised and angry.

Although he didn't expect Qiao Chunyan to still be around, it didn't affect Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun introduced Li Suhua: "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Zheng Juan. Juan'er, this is my mom."

Zheng Juan quickly bent down and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Li Suhua didn't say anything, just stared coldly at Zheng Juan.

She never expected that her son would bring Zheng Juan here without a word, especially with Qiao Chunyan present.

If Qiao Chunyan goes back and tells her mother, where will she put her face?

People eagerly sent their daughters here, only to find out that their son already had a girlfriend and brought her home in front of Chunyan.

The more Li Suhua thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She is actually a very good-tempered person. The main reason she was so angry was that Zhou Bingkun brought her back without consulting her today, catching her completely off guard.

Li Suhua did not respond, and Zheng Juan was very embarrassed, but dared not say a word, and just nervously lowered her head.

Zhou Bingkun couldn't stand it anymore and said to Li Suhua with a smile, "Mom, Zheng Juan is calling you. What are you daydreaming about?"

Li Suhua glared at Zhou Bingkun, but still gave her son face and said to Zheng Juan, "Zheng Juan, right? Come and sit down."

Zheng Juan was still a little hesitant, but Zhou Bingkun pulled her to sit down at the table without any hesitation.

"Chunyan, it's so late, aren't you going home? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Zhou Bingkun asked Qiao Chunyan after sitting down.

The more Qiao Chunyan looked at Zheng Juan, the more displeased she became.

She thought Zhou Bingkun had fallen for some wonderful woman, but this is what happened?

No matter how you look at it, she thinks she's prettier than Zheng Juan.

Why does Brother Bingkun not like her, but like this woman instead?

That woman is definitely a vixen!

"It's alright, it's still early. Brother Bingkun, we grew up together, now that you have a girlfriend, of course I want to get to know your wife."

With a smile, Qiao Chunyan introduced herself to Zheng Juan: "Hello, Zheng Juan. My name is Qiao Chunyan. I'm Bingkun's neighbor. We grew up together."

Zheng Juan replied awkwardly, "Hello, hello."

"Zheng Juan, where are you from? You're not from our Guangzi district, are you?"

Zheng Juan answered truthfully, "I am from the Guangzi district, and I live in Taiping Hutong."

"Taiping Hutong?" Qiao Chunyan looked surprised.

She thought Zhou Bingkun had found a wonderful girl, but it turned out she was a poor girl from Taiping Hutong: "Zheng Juan, you..."
