Looking at Wu Shaoqi’s expression, w.a.n.g Yunmei couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. “Look at you. It’s so normal. Are you still embarra.s.sed?”

w.a.n.g Yunmei didn’t think too much about it. She thought that Wu Shaoqi’s face was red because he was thin-skinned.

When Wu Shaoqi saw w.a.n.g Yunmei laughing at him, he felt even more embarra.s.sed. He couldn’t help but look at w.a.n.g Yunmei and say, “Don’t just talk about me. What about you?”

“Me?” w.a.n.g Yunmei couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she chuckled and shook her head. “I don’t have any thoughts. Over the years, I’ve gotten used to being alone. I’m quite good.”

When Wu Shaoqi heard w.a.n.g Yunmei’s words, his heart couldn’t help but ache. When he thought of w.a.n.g Yunmei’s hard work over the years, his gaze revealed pity.

In fact, he knew that w.a.n.g Yunmei was indeed as she had said. She had basically reached a state where she had no distractions. It should be that her indescribable past had hurt her too much, so over the years, w.a.n.g Yunmei had never been in a relations.h.i.+p or fallen in love with anyone.

This was also the reason Wu Shaoqi didn’t dare to say anything for a long time. He wasn’t confident. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth and exposed his thoughts, he wouldn’t even be able to be friends with w.a.n.g Yunmei in the end.

On the other side, Jian Ai and Wu Bi watched from afar. When they saw w.a.n.g Yunmei and Wu Shaoqi talking and laughing, a smile filled their faces.

“Uncle Wu likes my mother, right?” Jian Ai turned to look at Wu Bi with a smile and asked with bright eyes.

Wu Bi casually stuffed his hands in his pockets. When he heard this, he pursed his lips and chuckled. Then, he said faintly, “Can’t you tell?”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but shrug with a hesitant expression. “I think they’re quite suitable. But Uncle Wu is too considerate. I think he’s quite good to everyone, so I’ve never been too sure how he feels about my mother.”

“Haha…” Wu Bi chuckled. He looked at the expression on Jian Ai’s face and said with interest, “You’re usually quite smart. However, with relations.h.i.+ps, you seem to be a little slow. My father has liked Auntie Mei for so many years. I’m afraid you’re the only one in South City who’s still hesitant about this!”

Jian Ai widened her eyes in shock. “Really?”

“Can’t you tell by how much has happened over the years? My father just hasn’t said it yet, but he has already done everything he could!” Wu Bi said.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but consider Brother Wu Bi’s words. Over the years, from the time she could remember, Uncle Wu had always appeared in their family’s life.

Whenever there was any hard work that needed help at home, Uncle Wu helped. Because of her mother’s job, those in South City who knew her were unwilling to get too close to her family. Only Uncle Wu never minded her mother’s job and could fully understand how difficult it was for her.

He was also very close to her and her brother. When she was young, he often bought snacks for her.

With this thought in mind, Jian Ai suddenly realized that Uncle Wu wanted to play the role their family had always lacked from the beginning.

Looking at the expression on Jian Ai’s face, Wu Bi couldn’t help but lean closer to her face and whisper teasingly, “You’ve never been in a relations.h.i.+p, right…”

Jian Ai: “…”

She glared at him and retorted, “I’m only fifteen years old. Isn’t it normal for me to have never been in a relations.h.i.+p?!”

However, Jian Ai felt a little guilty when she said this because she had lived for twenty-six years in her previous life and had never been in a relations.h.i.+p too.

Just thinking about it made her feel tragic.

Wu Bi laughed out loud and stood up. “I have no intention of letting you date. I mean, it’s reasonable that you can’t tell. When you get a boyfriend in the future, you won’t be so slow on such things!”

Slow?

Jian Ai was unconvinced and couldn’t help but purse her lips. “That’s because Uncle Wu has been by my side since I can remember, so I took it for granted. I didn’t think about anything else.”

She would not admit that she was slow!

Seeing her stubborn denial, the smile in Wu Bi’s eyes deepened, but he was unwilling to attack her anymore. “Alright, you’re right!”

“What do you think my mother feels about Uncle Wu?” Jian Ai threw the question to Wu Bi.

Didn’t you know? I want to hear what you have to say!

When Wu Bi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and clicked his tongue. In the end, he sighed.

Jian Ai looked at his series of expressions and tone and frowned. “What’s wrong? Do you think my mother doesn’t like Uncle Wu?”

“Not really, but it’s not good for me to say this.” Wu Bi sighed again and looked at Jian Ai with a serious expression. “I think Auntie Mei seems to be hesitant about getting married again! I heard from my father that Auntie Mei hasn’t looked for a man in so many years?”

Jian Ai nodded. Her mother had never been in a relations.h.i.+p all these years and had never even given any man a chance.

Seeing this, Wu Bi nodded in understanding. “So look. Auntie Mei is so beautiful. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be like this. She must have many admirers. However, she gave no one a chance. From this, it’s easy to tell that she should be quite resistant to this.”

Wu Bi only knew a little about w.a.n.g Yunmei’s pregnancy before marriage. He didn’t know about Jian Changsheng, so he was only guessing.

However, Jian Ai was different. Jian Ai knew what her mother had experienced. Now that Wu Bi said this, no matter how slow she was about relations.h.i.+ps, she could understand. Jian Changsheng had broken her mother’s heart, which was why she was still single and didn’t dare to touch any feelings.

However…

“I think Uncle Wu is different from other men.” Jian Ai still felt that Wu Shaoqi had a chance. She immediately said with a firm expression, “Uncle Wu and my mother have been in a relations.h.i.+p for so many years. Putting aside whether this relations.h.i.+p is love in my mother’s heart, this already shows that Uncle Wu is different from other men.”

Wu Bi blinked as if he did not understand.

Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but explain, “Brother Wu Bi, think about it. All these years, there’s no man around my mother who can approach her or even infiltrate her life, other than Uncle Wu!”

“In the winter, he helped my family split firewood. In the past, when there was no running water, Uncle Wu helped my family get water from the well. He built fences and even helped to move and renovate our house recently. Uncle Wu did all these things, but my mother didn’t show any resistance. It’s as if… she subconsciously treated Uncle Wu as her family.”

“As long as my mother treats someone as an outsider, she will never accept their help with a clear conscience.”

When Wu Bi heard Jian Ai’s words, his eyes gradually filled with life. “Eh? Now that you mention it, that seems to be the case.”

“Isn’t that right?!” Jian Ai couldn’t help but glare at him smugly. “How dare you call me slow!”
