AMRWFA -Chapter 158 He and His Old-School Romance Girlfriend

Ruan Yaoyao hadn’t watched such an “old-school” romance drama in a long time. The general plot was the all-powerful CEO male lead paired with a useless, naïve, sweet female lead.

She caused trouble; he cleaned up after her.

When his company encountered a massive crisis, it was—by sheer coincidence—that she helped “resolve” it.

Because of this, she gained the approval of his family, and the two of them finally ended up together.

And that’s where the story ended. Not a single word was mentioned about the reality of their marriage. Ruan Yaoyao seriously suspected that the reason the story avoided post-marriage life was because it would have been a complete mess—mentioning it would ruin the “sweetness.”

Then again, this was supposed to be a sweet, old-school romance. If married life turned out like that, could it still be called “sweet”?

Of course they wouldn’t mention it.

After dinner, Wei Kaihao sent Ruan Yaoyao home and then called Xu Chengyan to ask how things were going on his side.

At least everything on his end had wrapped up safely. From what he heard from Aunt Xu’s “inner voice,” those troublemakers would only harm themselves—they wouldn’t affect anyone else.

Xu Chengyan: “You sure about that?”

“Absolutely. I heard Aunt Xu’s thoughts loud and clear.”

Xu Chengyan frowned. “Where did Ou Xiangbin’s stepmother come from? Didn’t his father go missing?”

“Isn’t that a good thing? It means his dad is fine. If he’s remarried, then he’s definitely okay.”

Xu Chengyan hung up immediately, not in the mood to listen to Wei Kaihao’s nonsense.

Whether Ou Xiangbin’s father was safe or not, he didn’t know. But that man had managed to stay single for so many years—so why did this so-called stepmother suddenly appear right after Ou Xiangbin met his girlfriend?

And this “white moonlight” from the past—supposedly separated because of some misunderstanding—was now being framed as if Ou Xiangbin’s mother had caused their breakup.

What did that have to do with his mother?

His mother was the one who had truly built everything from scratch with the old man—enduring hardships together. It was precisely because she had suffered so much in her younger years that her health deteriorated, and she passed away before her children even grew up.

If he were Ou Xiangbin, and the old man dared to remarry, he’d blow up the entire Ou family.

The only thing Xu Chengyan felt grateful for was that his own mother, Ruan Yaoyao, was clear-headed. She would never waste her energy lamenting over a man.

Luckily, that man had been older than his mother and died early. Otherwise, Xu Chengyan might have been furious on her behalf.

Afterward, Ou Xiangbin apologized to Xu Chengyan, saying that since they hadn’t managed to have that meal, he would invite him again another time.

Xu Chengyan replied, “Let’s talk after you find your father.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you!”

Xu Chengyan held himself back and ultimately didn’t ask:

Because of your girlfriend, you agreed to your father remarrying—what about your mother? After everything she sacrificed, do you think this is fair to her? Are you seriously this love-struck?

But that was just his mother’s “inner voice.” He had no evidence and no standing. If he said anything, people would just think he’d lost his mind.

Although the trip had been frustrating, Ruan Yaoyao hadn’t come away empty-handed. For example, she now knew where the old Master Ou had gone.

He hadn’t been kidnapped at all—he had gone to find his “white moonlight.”

Her name was Dai Qinglan—a beautiful name that carried an air of elegance and refinement, like the fragrance of orchids.

She wore a light teal silk dress, its soft sheen like the first glimmer of morning light on orchid petals. The delicate fabric hugged her figure, outlining her still-graceful silhouette.

A simple silk scarf rested at her neck, like a gentle breeze brushing past a blooming orchid.

Time had left faint traces on her face—not weariness, but fine lines like the veins of flower petals, quietly telling the story of her life. Her movements were poised and graceful, like an orchid swaying in the wind—never ostentatious, yet impossible to ignore.

Ruan Yaoyao only needed one glance to silently admit:

【She really is beautiful. No wonder the old man has been hung up on her his whole life.】

Then she glanced at the label above her head—“The Most Beautiful White Moonlight, Love Expired.”

【So the one I saw that day was her.】

【What a coincidence… I was wondering whose white moonlight she was—it turns out she’s Old Master Ou’s…】

To be safe, Ruan Yaoyao even messaged Xu Chengyan to confirm the old man’s name.

Once she confirmed it was indeed “Ou Erping,” she knew for sure—this was the white moonlight he would eventually remarry.

You think that’s the end?

Not at all.

Dai Qinglan had a granddaughter named Shen Yue. And by sheer coincidence, this granddaughter happened to be the girlfriend of Ou Xiangbin—the same female lead from “She Runs, He Chases.”

Yu Xiangqiao was stunned: So they’re all one family?!

No wonder her brother-in-law had been complaining in the group chat, saying Ou Xiangbin had become a love-brain idiot—once he got a girlfriend, he even forgot about his own mother.

But could he even keep his mother?

He’d already been completely ensnared—sold off, and still happily counting money for them.

Yu Xiangqiao started spamming messages in the group chat.

Xu Chengyan: “?!”

Xu Chengyan: “Damn! Doesn’t that mean Ou Xiangbin brought the wolf into his own house?!”

Xu Chengyan: “Where’s his brain?!”

Yu Xiangqiao: “Mom took me out for tea today. I’ve already checked the address for you guys—sent it. @Second Brother, remember to bring people to ‘catch them’ when the time comes.”

What Yu Xiangqiao could figure out, Ruan Yaoyao naturally had already realized.

She looked impressed, genuinely thinking this Dai Qinglan was incredible.

Back then, she married someone else because Old Master Ou was poor.

Later, when she realized he had made his fortune and become a big boss, her own husband—earning a fixed salary—no longer satisfied her.

She never contacted Old Master Ou directly. But on social media, she subtly posted beautiful photos of herself, presenting a peaceful, elegant life.

At the same time, she secretly kept track of Old Master Ou’s marital status. When she found out he had a son late in life, she urged her own children to marry quickly and have a daughter.

The boldness of her ambition was astonishing.

And she actually pulled it off?!

【Incredible!】

Ruan Yaoyao was genuinely impressed.

【This is seriously next-level!】

【Using an old-school romance heroine as a template, she really trained a naïve granddaughter and sent her straight to Ou Xiangbin…】

【And the guy actually fell for her?!】

【That kind of brainpower isn’t something ordinary people have.】

Then Ruan Yaoyao looked at herself and felt like a complete nobody—good for nothing except eating, drinking, and sleeping.

If she had Dai Qinglan’s skills, she might have “won over” her late husband long ago.

【Maybe I could’ve staged a “prodigal returns” redemption arc!】

The thought disgusted her so much that she shivered and quickly shook it out of her head.

【No, forget it!】

【With Xu Xiaoxiao’s personality, if he actually turned over a new leaf, I’d get goosebumps.】

【Better he just stays away from me!】

【We each live our own lives—nice and clean.】

Yu Xiangqiao frowned: With a brain like that… was this really just a “sweet romance”?

Why did it feel like something was off?

Could that woman still have another move up her sleeve?
