Chapter 52

Jianyu returned home, and Wu Xiuhua was still lying on the bed in the room, having just undergone surgery and needing a few days of rest before she could go back to work.

Liu Xin had just finished her shower and walked out of the room. Seeing Jianyu come home from school, she smiled seductively, "Little brother is back?"

"Yep. Sister Xin, you've been getting off work pretty early lately."

Jianyu knew that Wu Xiuhua had recognized Liu Xin as her goddaughter, and he was also very happy about it. It was rare for a landlord and a tenant to have such a good relationship.

"Uh-huh, because Sister Xin got a promotion recently, of course I come back earlier," Liu Xin said, looking at Jianyu seductively.

Jianyu took a look at Liu Xin, noticing her extremely sexy nightgown. Without using his X-ray vision, he couldn't tell if she was wearing anything underneath, but the silver-gray nightgown was tied loosely at the waist, revealing a lot of skin. Her long, slender legs were also on display. Liu Xin's figure was undoubtedly top-notch. Such a beautiful woman would stand out anywhere, and her promotion was well-deserved.

"Congratulations on your promotion, Sister Xin. Should we celebrate tonight?"

Jianyu couldn't resist and suddenly stepped forward, hugging Liu Xin tightly.

But Liu Xin quickly pulled away, knowing that this guy was getting excited again. She glared at Jianyu and whispered, "Bad boy. Your godmother is at home. What are you trying to do?"

"Uh..." Jianyu was taken aback, remembering that Wu Xiuhua was still in the room. If they made any noise and she heard it, their secret relationship would be exposed, and he didn't know how to handle that.

Jianyu shrugged helplessly, "Alright, Sister Xin, I'll let you off today."

"Hmph, now that I'm your god-sister, you're not allowed to touch me anymore," Liu Xin said, pouting at Jianyu.

Jianyu was taken aback, "If you're my god-sister, then I should 'take care' of you, right? Of course, you can 'take care' of me too. Alright, Sister Xin, I'll go check on my mom first." Jianyu smiled calmly.

"Ah... you... bad boy!" Liu Xin blushed, watching Jianyu's back. "By the way, I've already eaten with your godmother. There's still some food left. I'll heat it up for you?"

"Thanks, Sister Xin!" Jianyu replied without turning back.

"Hmph!" Liu Xin pouted again, feeling a bit sad.

Jianyu went to Wu Xiuhua's room and saw her mending clothes. He sat down by the bed.

"Xiao Yu, you're back."

"Yep, Mom, you need to rest. Don't do needlework for now."

"It'll be done soon. By the way, how's your study going?" Wu Xiuhua asked. Although she didn't expect Jianyu to do well this year, it was important for him to lay a good foundation for next year's review, especially to learn new knowledge well.

Jianyu smiled, "It's going well. Don't worry, Mom, I'll work hard."

Before, Jianyu couldn't make any promises to Wu Xiuhua, but now he could. He not only wanted to do well but also make Wu Xiuhua and Tang Qiang proud of him again! His goal was clear: the top student in Jinghai City. Of course, he couldn't tell Wu Xiuhua that now.

Wu Xiuhua nodded, "Alright, do your best, but don't push yourself too hard. By the way, the girl who went to the hospital with you, Ya Rou, right? I think she's a good girl. Get along with her, and if possible, try to pursue her, but don't disturb her studies, okay?"

"Mom, you like her?" Jianyu asked, surprised. He didn't expect Wu Xiuhua to have such a good impression of Chu Ya Rou. As for himself, he just wanted to be a close friend with Chu Ya Rou. He hadn't thought about anything more. He didn't expect Wu Xiuhua to think about it for him.

"Yes, Ya Rou is well-mannered and comes from a family like ours. Although Li Yunting is also a good girl, she's a different kind of person... forget it, let's not talk about this. By the way, Sister Xin has been a great help these days. Xiao Yu, Sister Xin isn't young anymore. You have many classmates, so help her find a boyfriend. For someone like Sister Xin, he must be handsome, have a good family background, and most importantly, have good character. Look around when you have time."

"Find a boyfriend for Sister Xin..." Jianyu said softly, feeling a bit sad. But he was afraid Wu Xiuhua would notice, so he nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'll remember."

"Jianyu, it's time to eat!" Liu Xin's voice came from outside.

"Go on, Sister Xin is calling you," Wu Xiuhua said.

Jianyu nodded and walked out of the room. Seeing Liu Xin serving the food, he suddenly felt he didn't want her to find a boyfriend. An extremely selfish thought arose in his heart. He wanted to keep their relationship as it was forever. But was that possible? What did he have to offer Liu Xin to make her stay with him?

"What are you thinking about? Come and eat quickly!" Liu Xin glared at Jianyu.

Jianyu forced a smile and sat down at the table. Liu Xin also sat down to eat with him.

"Sister Xin, are you going to find a boyfriend?" Jianyu asked suddenly, taking a bite of rice.

Liu Xin was surprised, looking at Jianyu, "Bad boy, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Oh, I was just asking, hehe. Sister Xin, tell me, please," Jianyu pouted.

"Of course, I will," Liu Xin said, glaring at Jianyu.

"Uh-huh..." Jianyu's heart sank when he heard her answer. She was still going to find a boyfriend. His thoughts were just wishful thinking. A beautiful, intelligent, and elegant woman like Liu Xin wouldn't stay in his little world forever. She had her own sky and sea, and her world was colorful. He was just a small passerby in her life. Thinking about this, Jianyu stopped eating, unable to continue.

Liu Xin noticed Jianyu's extremely disappointed expression and curved her lips seductively, "What's wrong, are you upset?"

"No, Sister Xin, I'm not upset. I'm fine. Sister Xin, you must let me vet any boyfriend you find," Jianyu said with a forced smile.

"Hmph, still pretending. I know you're not happy. We've been living together for so long, how can I get married?" Liu Xin pouted, glaring at Jianyu.

"Ah... really, Sister Xin!" Jianyu looked at Liu Xin excitedly, realizing she was just teasing him to cheer him up.

"Hmph, I said I'll find a boyfriend, but I didn't say it would be you. I have high standards, and I doubt you can support me," Liu Xin said, looking at Jianyu coldly.

"Sister Xin, I'll definitely be able to support you in the future. Just wait a bit longer, it won't be long," Jianyu promised.

Liu Xin pouted, "Hmph, little boy! Although you can't support me now, you can still satisfy me."

"Uh..." Jianyu was speechless, looking at Sister Xin. Suddenly, his body felt a bit strange, and he stood up, walking to Liu Xin and lifting her by the waist.

"Ah, bad boy, aren't you afraid your godmother will find out?" Liu Xin was surprised. Jianyu was being too bold.

"Hehe, Sister Xin, if you don't make any noise, it'll be fine." Jianyu carried Sister Xin to her room, which was farther from Wu Xiuhua's room.

"You..." Liu Xin's heart raced, her face blushing. Although she wanted to be with Jianyu tonight, the atmosphere was already set, but Jianyu was too strong, and it would be hard not to make any noise. However, she couldn't let Wu Xiuhua know about their relationship...
