Chapter 5
The Joy of Living Together

Lin Fan, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly explained, "Tao Ge... Don't think too much, Jian Ai Jie and I are completely innocent."

But could Lin Shao Tao believe him at this point?

All signs pointed to Lin Fan and Jian Ai having something going on, and he wasn't a fool; he could see it.

“You little rascal, I consider you a brother, but you’ve already made a move on Jian Ai. You’re too hasty. Couldn’t you have waited until we divorced?”

Lin Fan was wronged!

It was clearly Jian Ai who was too hasty.

“Tao Ge...”

“No need to explain, from today onwards...”

“Lin Shao Tao...” Jian Ai suddenly interrupted him, “There is nothing between Lin Fan and me. The reason I decided to stay at his place temporarily is because I have nowhere else to go. We are all friends, and only Lin Fan lives alone. What’s wrong with me staying at his place? Please don’t use your dirty thoughts to imagine our relationship.”

After finishing, Jian Ai gave Lin Fan a meaningful look.

It was as if she was saying, "Surprised? Excited?"

Wang Meng felt like grinding her into the ground three hundred times.

She was so mischievous.

When they got back, he absolutely had to make her call him Daddy.

When Lin Shao Tao heard Jian Ai’s explanation, his anger instantly subsided. As long as they didn’t have a relationship before, as a friend, he would support them if they could be together in the future.

The good stuff doesn't go to outsiders; this is what you call vision.

Lin Shao Tao put his arm around Lin Fan’s shoulders: “You little rascal, you’re always giving me a thrill. But I warn you, some people are hard to deal with; you need to think carefully about taking her in.”

Jian Ai’s bag immediately landed on Lin Shao Tao’s shoulder: “Stop stirring things up. If Lin Fan doesn’t take me in, should I live on the street?”

“You can go live with your mother.”

“I don’t want to tell my mother about the divorce yet.”

“Okay, do as you please.”

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly: “If I didn’t take Jian Ai Jie in, would I be able to leave alive today?”

Lin Shao Tao chuckled and said he understood Lin Fan’s predicament.

“Let’s go! Go home and get your stuff; you can move into Lin Fan’s place today, but it will be hard for my brother from now on!”

Jian Ai rolled her eyes and got into the passenger seat of Lin Fan’s car.

They got in the car and drove towards Xiang Xie Hua Yu. Lin Fan asked, “Aren’t you going to live at my place forever?”

Although Jian Ai was amazing, he didn’t want to be in a relationship or get married. He didn’t want to be tied down to one person for the rest of his life.

They could both benefit and have fun, but it would be rude to get entangled.

Jian Ai gave him a complicated look and instantly understood his meaning: “Hmph! You scumbag.”

“Hey! You’re a scumbag woman too! We’re both the same!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t cling to you. Once I find a suitable place, I’ll move out. I’m just staying at your place temporarily.”

“That’s fine; I’m not in a hurry to kick you out.”

“Hmph! How can you be so scummy? Aren’t you going to find a girlfriend in the future?”

“I won’t, but there’s a difference between not having a girlfriend and not having a woman. If you need anything, you can always ask me for help; I’m always here for you.”

“Ugh! You dead scumbag!”

Jian Ai, whether she was really angry or just being deliberate, called Lin Fan a scumbag the whole way.

But Lin Fan wasn’t angry at all. He was a clear and unambiguous scumbag who didn’t lie, so being a scumbag was a positive term for him.

Furthermore, in this society, only scumbags could avoid getting hurt. If you were a nice guy, even dogs would shake their heads at you.

When they arrived at Lin Shao Tao’s house, Jian Ai was unpacking her luggage in the bedroom. Lin Fan wanted to help, but Lin Shao Tao dragged him to the balcony to wait. He reminded him that helping women unpack could easily lead to encountering private items, and it would be better if he didn’t risk being disliked for his good intentions.

He also taught him some details to be aware of when living with Jian Ai, so that she wouldn't look down on him.

But little did he know, Jian Ai was a goddess in front of others, but a manipulative woman in front of Lin Fan. They were completely different.

Once Jian Ai finished packing, she came out of the bedroom with two large suitcases: "Can you two help me?"

Lin Shao Tao and Lin Fan went over and each took a suitcase, but Jian Ai brought out another large bag from the bedroom.

Lin Shao Tao's eyes widened: “Do you have that many clothes? Don’t take any of my clothes.”

Jian Ai gave him a disdainful look: "I don't have a fetish for worn clothes.”

Lin Shao Tao was speechless; Jian Ai was getting bolder and bolder.

They went downstairs and put the suitcases in the car. Seeing Jian Ai get in first, Lin Shao Tao pulled Lin Fan aside: “If you have any problems in the future, tell me. Jian Ai is very difficult to deal with.”

“No, I think Jian Ai Jie is pretty good.”

“You don’t understand anything. You haven’t really gotten to know her. She has a bad temper, she loves to pick on people, and if you don't make her happy, she gives you the silent treatment.”

“I’m not afraid. I’ll see how I can change her.”

“Are you trying to show off like Jia Kuan again? How are you going to change her? You can’t change her at all. Just listen to me; when she finds fault with you, just avoid her if you can.”

“Tao Ge, don’t worry; I’ll use the stick method. She won’t dare to disobey.”

Lin Shao Tao gave him a thumbs up: “You’re asking for it; don’t drag me into it.”

“Of course not; you're the ex-husband. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes... that’s exactly what I’m waiting for; hurry up and go back!”

“We’re off.”

Watching the Bentley Continental drive away, Lin Shao Tao had a feeling that Lin Fan was kind of happy.

But they really shouldn’t have any problems.

He hoped he was overthinking things.

Lin Shao Tao shook his head and went back home.

He was finally divorced.

The feeling of freedom was so good.

On the other side, on the way back to Jun Yue Mansion, Jian Ai was also in a good mood. Sitting in the passenger seat, she began to fantasize about her future life of freedom.

“What do you want to do when we get home?”

Lin Fan pointed at himself: “You mean me?”

“Yes, who else is here?”

“What else can I do? It’s the same as usual, just with you in the house.”

“Well, today is a good day; we shouldn't waste time.”

Lin Fan shivered. Thank goodness he had his golden waist; otherwise, who could handle this?

When they arrived at Jun Yue Mansion, the door to 1202 was open, and there were voices inside. Lin Fan curiously stopped and looked inside.

Had Gu Jia and Xu Huan Shan not left yet? Or had they decided to stay and started moving?

Jian Ai also took a look: “Do you want to go in and greet your new neighbors?”

“No, I’m just curious.”

“Curiosity killed the cat; let’s go home. Don’t waste time.”

Oh my god.

Lin Shao Tao was such a loser!

Soon, Gu Jia and Xu Huan Shan in 1202 heard the sound from next door.

Both of their faces showed great embarrassment.

Doing it in broad daylight?

The soundproofing of this building was awful!
