Heero thought his peaceful life would last longer, but things did not go toward the directions he wanted to. Three days after his conversation about Uncle Rui with Shen Miao, Guo Shan came.
It was eight in the morning, the shop was not even open yet. However, Guo Shan barged in without permission, bringing a bouquet of red flowers in his hand. He had a big smile on his face, wearing neat clothes.
With just one look at his outfit, people would recognize him that he was not someone from the outer region. At the ring of the bell, the two little girls who watched Heero playing with the dough turned around.
Myung-Hee did not recognize the man, but Shen Miao did. Shen Miao instantly went down from the chair and ran toward the man.
"Father!"
She ran toward her father and Guo Shan received his daughter with open arms.
Shen Miao's shout echoed in the shop. Han Ying was jolted awake from her focus upon hearing her daughter's voice. Her body visibly trembled and her hand clasped dough tightly in her hand, destroying the dough's texture.
Heero stopped his hand for a moment upon hearing the shout. But then, he continued to knead the dough, but his hand movement was getting faster.
Hong Yu was the one who had different reactions. She slammed the dough to the board with all her strength, causing a loud "Pah!" noise which startled Myung-Hee. She slammed the dough in anger.
Afterward, she wanted to leave the kitchen to meet the man who had abandoned her sister. Hong Yu certainly wanted to give a good scold to Guo Shan. However, Heero stopped her.
"Stay, Honey! You are not going to scold that man in front of the two kids, right? At least, not now, okay!? Moreover, he is just past for you and your sister. There's no need to be angry about something in the past. You have a new future!" Heero advised while he finished the dough in his hand.
At Heero's words, Hong Yu stopped her steps while gritting her teeth. In the end, she let out a sigh as she realized her husband was right. She gazed at Myung-Hee who was still confused about what happened.
Hong Yu washed her hand and left the kitchen. Meanwhile, Han Ying had calmed down, Heero's words calmed her. Indeed, Guo Shan was someone from her past. The way they parted might be leaving a scar to her, but all of it was her past, now she had a new life to live.
'I have to face him and end everything for forever! Then start living my new life!'
*** ***
Hong Yu left the kitchen to pick Myung-Hee. She did not want to stay depressed here and intend to stroll around with the cute Myung-Hee. When she came out, she saw Shen Miao and Guo Shan talking intimately.
Looking at this scene, she realized that talking bad about Guo Shan in front of Shen Miao would worsen her relationship with the girl. She ignored Guo Shan and approached Myung-Hee.
Guo Shan also noticed someone coming out of the kitchen. He was stunned by the beauty that came out of the kitchen.
'Woah… Woah… My sister-in-law has ripe… It's time for the harvest…' Guo Shan's thoughts went wild.
He immediately picked Shen Miao and approached Hong Yu.
"Wow, you are getting even more beautiful, Sis-in-law~" Guo Shan greeted Hong Yu with a big smile and added, "I almost do not recognize you!"
"Sis-in-law? Huh!? I don't remember having a brother-in-law like you!" Hong Yu responded coldly. She did not even glance at Guo Shan.
'Play hard to get, huh!? Heh heh, I will let you go for now… As long as your sister falls into my hand, you will not be able to escape from my hand…'
Guo Shan still had a smile plastered on his face. It was as if he did not really mind Hong Yu's cold response. "What about Ying Ying, is she inside?"
Hong Yu was so disgusted and she did not even bother to hide it from Guo Shan. She did not give her reply as she took Myung-Hee's hand, intending to leave the shop as soon as possible.
However, there was a hand holding her other hand, preventing her from taking steps further. It was Guo Shan, "Wait, Hong Yu! There's something I want to talk about with you and your sister!"
Hong Yu wanted to pull her hand from Guo Shan, but the grip was so strong for her. She struggled to get loose, but to no avail. Just as she wanted to scream, the grip loosened.
"I told you, you should learn a few moves so you will not get bullied like this!" Along with the familiar voice, Hong Yu felt a strong arm on her waist, pulling her over.
Even without looking, Hong Yu already knew it was her husband's voice. She rested her chest on Heero's chest.
"Mister, it's inappropriate to touch someone else's wife!" Heero warned Guo Shan with a pretty calm face and tone.
For the first time, Heero met the guy who left Han Ying for over three years. Indeed, the guy had an above-average look and gave off an aura of a gentleman. Not dashing as the model he often saw on the forum, but not bad. It was Heero's first impression of Guo Shan.
Guo Shan frowned when a man he did not recognize suddenly appeared next to him. Moreover, he still could feel the pain on his wrist. Before he loosened his grips, he felt a brief and unbelievable strong grip on his wrist.
Meanwhile, Hong Yu was smiling brightly on Heero's embrace. She suddenly struck with a sudden idea after getting a clear look at Guo Shan.
'Heh, bringing a bouquet and trying to be intimate with me. He must be wanting to make up with my sister, but… Hehe… I can't wait to see it… hehe…' Hong Yu laughed evilly to herself deep inside.
She wanted to see Guo Shan's expression when he found my sister already belonged to someone else. That was the plan, she wanted to send a whisper to her husband, not to tell Guo Shan his marital relationship with her sister.
However, Heero never planned to tell the guy that he had married Han Ying on paper. In fact, he wanted to know why Han Ying's ex-husband's purpose came here.
"Do you want to talk with me and my sister?" Then a voice came from the kitchen direction. Han Ying already took off her apron and came out with her casual shirt.
Guo Shan turned around with a big smile. With Shen Miao in his embrace, he walked toward Han Ying and offered the bouquet to Han Ying, "You are not changed, still beautiful as before!"
Shen Miao was looking at her mother with a hopeful gaze. Earlier, her father was telling her that he came here to make up with her mother. Shen Miao was certainly happy to see her father and her mother getting together again.
However, Han Ying did not receive the flower, but a frown appeared on her forehead, "Is this what you want to talk about?"
Realizing his ex-wife would not receive the flower, Guo Shan let out a sigh and put the flower on the nearest table. Then, he faced his ex-wife with a gentle gaze and said, "I am sorry, Ying Ying~ I am really sorry, I regretted everything!"
"Back then, I was powerless~ If I did not leave you back then, Shen Family would hurt you and Miao Miao. I am sorry, but now, everything is different. I have more power…" Guo Shan clutched his right palm into a fist.
"Now everything is different! I just got promoted to Rank 17, I am now Gold Class Hero - Rank 17! I have the power and status, Shen Family could no longer control me…"
Guo Shan paused for a moment here, he showed a regretful look. But it only lasted for a moment before it returned to a gentle look.
"Han Ying~ I am sorry I have disappointed you. I want to atone for my past mistakes and give you true happiness! Come with me to the inner region! Let's start it over again, our small family~"
Here, Hong Yu noticed her sister's expression was softened only after hearing such a short and crappy explanation. Of course, not only Hong Yu noticed this, but Heero also saw it, and Guo Shan also saw his ex-wife was softened by his words.
"Let's make up, Ying Ying! I truly regretted everything I did in the past. I realized that I can't live without you. Let's start it over again, you, me, and Miao Miao~ Our small family! I have prepared everything, your dream house, your dream kitchen, everything! I have prepared everything for you!"
Guo Shan knew that he only needed the last push to melt Han Ying's heart. He believed Han Ying still loved him. His confidence was boosted tremendously after noticing the hesitant look on Han Ying's face.
"If it's about your sister, she can follow us. I can provide your sister and her husband a house for them. Believe me, I will never disappoint you, so let us start over again, Ying Ying~" Guo Shan's voice was so soft and gentle, but it did not lack manliness.
At this point, Han Ying wavered. From Hong Yu's perspective, her sister was about to fall into the enemy's hand.
