Chapter 3: 3, Xixi and her aunt

"Big brother, at least make yourself clear!"

"Met him and what?"

Wang Xueru couldn't help but ask, but just th, the elevator reached her floor, and she watched as the other person got on.

Wang Xueru clched her fists subconsciously, as she indeed didn't fully trust her husband because he had cheated before.

But Sh Mingshan had knelt before her, pleading desperately and repeatedly assured her it wouldn't happ again.

For the sake of keeping her family intact, she had forgiv him.

However, Yang Hao's words had once again made her suspicious of Sh Mingshan.

In fact, she had rectly ssed that something was off with Sh Mingshan; not only was he working overtime frequtly, but he also hadn't touched her much once he was home.

She once read a stce online: "If someone doesn't eat at home, it's because they've already eat outside."

At the trance of Holiday International.

Yang Hao mounted his electric bike and continued to take orders.

He had deliberately planted a seed of doubt in Wang Xueru's mind, now all he had to do was wait for it to slowly germinate and grow.

Yang Hao had be running a delivering orders all afternoon, and it wasn't until four-thirty that he temporarily stopped working and wt to Belle Kindergart.

He was a bit late, and by the time he arrived, twty or thirty parts had already gathered at the trance to pick up their childr.

"Yang's here, how many orders did you deliver today?"

As soon as Yang Hao parked his electric bike, an elderly lady approached him.

"Not ev thirty yet."

His day had be more delayed than usual; gerally, by this time, Yang would have delivered at least forty orders. After several months of practice, he had become an expericed delivery guy.

"Yang, have you thought about finding another mother for Xixi?"

The elderly lady asked again. About half a month ago, during a casual chat she had learned about Yang Hao's divorce. It seemed like she might be trying to introduce him to someone.

"Not planning on it at the momt!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang."

Yang Hao politely declined. After his marriage to Li Manshu, he really didn't have any desire to marry again, and ev if he did, his currt situation wouldn't allow it.

Not to mtion not having a house or a car, he was also in debt by over two hundred thousand yuan, and on top of that, he was a divorced single father.

With his status, he would be at the very bottom of the pecking order in the matchmaking market.

"That's true, after all, you just divorced; it's best to take some time."

"Whever you're ready to look for someone, just tell me..."

The elderly lady was Zhang Guilin, and she was there to pick up her grandson from school.

Yang Hao's precious daughter, Xixi, was classmates with Zhang Guilin's grandson, which is why they had gott to know each other from picking up the kids.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion at the trance of the kindergart as the teachers walked out with the childr.

Yang Hao quickly moved closer and soon idtified his precious daughter among the group of kids.

The little girl, clean and , looked like a porcelain doll.

"Daddy!"

Xixi waved her little hands excitedly upon seeing her dad.

"Xixi, go to daddy."

The female teacher who had brought the kids out nodded to Xixi.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Qiqi."

Xixi waved to the teacher and th ran toward her dad.

Yang Hao scooped up his daughter, gtly kissing her chubby cheek.

Bankruptcy, divorce, his wife's betrayal!

In rect times, a succession of blows had come one after another, and Yang Hao's mood had be very depressed. What kept him going was his beloved daughter.

Whever he felt like he couldn't go on, just thinking of Xixi would revive him.

"What did you have for dinner at kindergart?"

Yang Hao walked with his daughter in his arms, asking her as they wt.

"Sweet potatoes, chick wings, tofu, and carrots..."

Xixi rested her little head on her dad's shoulder, listing the foods she had for dinner.

Yang Hao nodded, th touched the braided pigtails behind Xixi's head and asked, "Did your teacher do your hair like this?"

"It was Mrs. Qiqi who did it. She said I look pretty with these braids," Xixi replied with a soft and pleased tone in her voice.

"Mm, it's pretty."

"I'll do your hair like that tomorrow too."

As they chatted, the father and daughter had reached the electric scooter. Yang Hao took out a little helmet from under the seat for Xixi, secured it on her, and had her stand on the footboard.

"Stand tight, Xixi."

"Daddy's going to start it now."

"Yay, let's go!"

Xixi shouted with full thusiasm.

Yang Hao started the electric scooter, and they quickly returned to the residtial area where they were currtly rting.

This was a resettlemt area, with rts significantly cheaper than those in regular neighborhoods. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He rted a fifty-square-meter one-bedroom apartmt that came with all the necessary home appliances for a monthly rt of ,500 yuan.

In a robust second-tier provincial capital like Jiangchg, this rt was indeed a bargain.

Upon oping the door, they were greeted with the aroma of meat...

"Wow, it smells delicious!"

"It's Auntie!"

Xixi first took a deep sniff, th switched to her slippers and ran towards the kitch.

"Xixi, don't come in here, there's a lot of greasy smoke."

As Xixi was about to dash into the kitch, a pretty-faced girl half-emerged from inside.

"I knew it was Auntie!"

"I missed Auntie..."

Xixi's chubby face was filled with a guine smile, showing her true fondness for the girl in front of her.

"I missed Xixi too, so I came over," the girl said, blinking at Xixi.

"Manni, ar't you working today?"

Yang Hao wasn't surprised to see the girl, as she came by oft, especially over the past month, showing up every other day or so.

However, the girl's currt relationship with Yang Hao was somewhat awkward.

Because she was Li Manshu's younger sister, named Li Manni.

She was a Journalism studt at Jiangchg University, in her sior year. Still, she had started working before the d of the year and had be an intern journalist at the "Jiangchg Eving News" for several months now.

She had always opposed her sister's divorce from Yang Hao and firmly supported her brother-in-law.

This was why, ev knowing her sister and Yang Hao were divorced, she would still visit her brother-in-law's house as usual, helping out with cooking and taking care of Xixi.

That's also why Xixi was very fond of her beautiful aunt.

"I only had one interview this afternoon, and I finished early."

"Brother-in-law, go wash your hands. Dinner's about to be ready."

Li Manni replied and th wt back into the kitch.

Yang Hao took off his work uniform, the shirt underneath soaked in sweat from running a delivering orders for hours on d. Not sweating was simply not an option.

The kangaroo brand uniform was designed to be windproof and warm, and though it wasn't cold, it was not breathable either, which made the sweat easily soak through his undershirt.

So Yang Hao took off the shirt and put on a fresh, dry one.

By the time he had finished washing up, there were already four dishes on the dining table: braised eel, stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, tiger skin pork trotters, and stir-fried lotus slices.
