Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 783 Do you want to find a younger woman?

Lu Yao smiled as he lay on the pillow, looking at the mysterious Ding Mei:

"Speak up, or I'll fall asleep."

Ding Mei whispered in his ear:

"Zheng Wenli is going to propose to Jing Youxiang."

Lu Yao, cooperating with Ding Mei, sat up with wide eyes: "What, are you serious?"

Ding Mei said smugly, "How about that? Did I surprise you?"

Lu Yao thought to himself that he had known for a long time that Zheng Wenli had fallen for Jing Youxiang, but Youxiang didn't like him.

It's normal to propose; it would be strange if you didn't.

However, to satisfy Ding Mei, I still need to gossip with her for a while:

"Did Youxiang agree?"

"No. Yuxiang said that she actually likes someone else. That man is... do you know?"

Lu Yao looked into Ding Mei's eyes, picked up the scissors from the kang (a heated brick bed), and threw them onto the windowsill.

"I don't know, who is it?"

Ding Mei sighed: "I thought you and Youxiang were quite close, that you would know. She wouldn't say, she just said that this person is someone she can never have, a doctor from her former workplace. She said he was incredibly skilled in medicine and also very handsome. Once, when she was being pestered by Yang Shouye's son, it was this doctor who stepped in and kicked Yang Ming out of the toilet."

Lu Yao let out a long sigh.

This little girl, at least, knows what's important.

I didn't sell myself.

One can't help but ask, "Then why didn't she pursue this doctor?"

"Hey, the doctor has a wife, and she and the doctor's wife get along really well! So she's conflicted and asked me what to do."

Lu Yao couldn't help but become interested:

"What did you say?"

Ding Mei looked troubled:

"I asked her, if 'love' is a ten, then how much does liking Zheng Wenli count? She said it's zero, that her feelings for Zheng Wenli aren't love, but just pity for him. She doesn't dislike him, that's all."

"And what about that doctor?"

Lu Yao naturally knew that the doctor Jing Youxiang was talking about was himself.

Ding Mei said, "She said if 'love' is a ten, then she likes him 9.9..."

Lu Yao asked in confusion, "Why not ten? They've shown so much liking it!"

"She said that if it were ten, she would pursue it without hesitation. But she didn't dare to, and didn't want to ruin someone else's marriage, so she lacked that one tenth of her courage."

Lu Yao scratched his head.

In fact, if he had to choose a wife, besides Zheng Shuang and Ding Mei, he would rather choose Shu Mei than Jing Youxiang.

This girl is better suited as a friend; it's quite fun to hang out with her.

I didn't say I liked her back then, but her relentless pursuit touched me.

Now that I have Ding Mei by my side, as well as the hardworking and dedicated Sister Yue Juan, and the quietly contributing Yuan Shumei, I really can't hold Youxiang back any longer.

It's selfish of you to prevent people from finding partners.

Since Ding Mei was hired, even Sister Yuejuan can't get enough to eat.

Shumei was still waiting in line.

How can it still develop so much?

Thinking about this, Lu Yao really admired those middle-aged guys who had developed dozens or even hundreds of lovers.

How did you manage to ensure that everyone received the rain and dew equally?

Lu Yao then asked, "What happened in the end? What did she say to you?"

Ding Mei said with a look of regret, "I told her that if you love someone, you should say it. She said that man knew she liked him, and that they had even slept together... You know, Youxiang isn't a virgin anymore. In the end, that man still married someone else."

Lu Yao listened carefully, but he didn't know how much this silly girl had told Ding Mei.

No wonder they were acting suspiciously when they saw me.

Zheng Wenli proposed to her, but she didn't tell him.

That lame Zheng Wenli is quite the lecher; his bones haven't even fully healed yet and he's already thinking about this.

Ding Mei added, "I told Youxiang, why are you waiting for such a heartless man? You might as well find Zheng Wenli; at least he's honest and easy to manage."

Lu Yao looked at Ding Mei's chattering mouth and said, "Yes, Zheng Wenli is quite good."

Ding Mei immediately realized what was happening and grabbed Lu Yao's arm, shaking it vigorously.

"Hey, kid, don't overthink it. I meant Zheng Wenli is better than that doctor, but not as good as you. If 'love' is ten, then my love for you is one hundred, ten thousand. Don't be angry."

Lu Yao laughed heartily and pulled her into his arms:

"I'm not that petty. Alright, let's go to sleep. Youxiang will handle her own affairs."

As for the women around him, Lu Yao really had no choice.

Being a womanizer is in my nature, but I am by no means immoral. I don't want any girl to be unhappy.

Although he couldn't marry Jing Youxiang, he almost fell out with Mei Ping for her sake, and even drew his gun at the police station.

If a policeman and Lu Yao had drawn their guns at that time, everything that followed would have been different.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Lu Yao is a heartless and ungrateful person.

There's just no way to keep all the women around.

However, Jing Youxiang's words, spoken by Ding Mei, also deeply moved Lu Yao.

I've decided to go talk to her tomorrow and explain things clearly.

If she truly loves him and can't extricate herself from it, then he's willing to support her.

Just don't let Ding Mei know.

Looking at Ding Mei lying next to me, I felt a little sorry for her!

I also felt this kind of guilt when I was operating Ju Wen's equipment on the train.

Ugh!

It's all my fault for being too promiscuous; I've ended up with romantic entanglements everywhere.

Thinking of this, he pulled Ding Mei close and kissed her:

"Little Meizi, I love you. I will never leave you in this life. I will take care of you until the end of time."

Ding Mei was almost asleep.

He perked me up and laughed:

"I know you like me, do you like Shumei too?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Hmph, my stepmother said it herself, men are the most fickle. There's no one who doesn't have his eye on the beautiful women around him. Some even have their eyes on their mother-in-law."

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless.

Is Xie Chunfang's mouth itchy?

He always teaches my wife some wrong ideas.

I have to talk to her tomorrow.

Ding Mei pinched Lu Yao and asked:

"Tell me, do you like Shumei? Have you ever thought about doing 'that' with her? I won't be angry if you tell me. Sister Yuejuan said, 'Lust is the worst of all evils. Judge by actions, not intentions. If you judge by intentions, no one in the world is perfect!' If you haven't done it, you're not a bad person."

Lu Yao hugged her helplessly: "I don't want to, I just want you."

"Hmph, lying. You're afraid to tell the truth. Actually, don't worry, sir. If you want to find someone younger, just tell me, and I can help you persuade them. As long as it's someone I like, like Shumei… or Youxiang…"

Lu Yao thought to himself, "Don't try that, I'm not falling for it."

"Go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

"I won't let you sleep unless you tell me."

"Okay, I haven't thought about it."

"Don't lie."

"Okay, I've thought about it."

"Hmph, I knew you wanted that. But it's pointless. No one can be your concubine, and you're not the emperor!"

"..."

Lu Yao was convinced.

Does Ding Mei seem to be too idle at home every day?

Ding Mei was asked, "If Shumei is also willing, then you should agree, right?"

"I really will agree. I'll ask Shumei tomorrow if you don't believe me."

Lu Yao stared into her eyes.

I have a feeling there's something fishy going on.

In her past life, she was sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, and she seemed to understand what he meant.

But I didn't intend to touch her; I didn't have any feelings for her at that time.

How could Ding Mei have such a perverted side?
