The dusk glow has faded, and the entire sky is covered by darkness. Crickets and birds can be vaguely heard in the countryside.

He Yue tried her best to make her refusal seem polite. "Mr. He, to be honest, you are really nice, but will your parents agree? Or do you just want to take a concubine and have a romantic life in Min County?"

She looked at Ning Rusong with clear eyes, like a pool of water that would never become turbid. She pointed out all the hidden dangers in every word, "You said you have never had any woman before. What if you started with me and have many other women in the future? How should I deal with it?"

He Yue now takes love lightly. She advised him, "You and I have only met a few times. You don't have to be so obsessed with me. The passion you have now may fade away after a while. I am not young for a girl. I am twenty-one. I can't stand any big storms and I don't have the mind to climb up."

She pretended to be sad and experienced, and put her hand on Ning Rushong's hanging arm to push him away. After the distance between them was shortened, she turned around again and looked at his face, feeling a little regretful. This look was too much to her taste.

"Mr. He has been very kind to me and I won't hide it from you. I won't necessarily be a widow for the rest of my life, but I won't choose you. It's not that you're not good, it's just that you're too outstanding. When I think about what I'll have to face if I'm with you in the future, I'm scared from the bottom of my heart!"

Ning Rushong had expected all of He Yue's concerns, and he also knew that she would definitely not agree to her request this time. What filled his heart was not sadness but deep joy. Everything was different now. Yueyue no longer avoided him, no longer harbored hatred and disgust, and could talk to him with affection.

"If it's love at first sight, Miss He might think it's too cunning to be believed." Ning Rusong lowered his head and looked at her, his words were gentle but full of deep friendship, "But from the moment I saw Miss He, my heart was in chaos and I couldn't keep any common sense."

"I beg you, give me a possible chance." The deep love in Ning Rushong's eyes seemed to be able to burn people's hearts.

He is such a proud person, and his eyes seem to be saying, "Don't kill my love with one blow. Look at me, I've laid my heart in front of you, please have some pity on me!"

He Yue almost felt a little palpitation, stood up and took a few steps back, not knowing how to start, and kept saying, "Let me think about it for a while, and then think about it for a while. Mr. He, you should go back home first. It's late at night. If you stay here for a long time, the villagers will inevitably gossip, and then it will be really hard to sort it out."

She put one hand on the table, feeling extremely nervous. She didn't dare to look directly into his eyes which contained deep affection. She just wanted to send Ning Rushong away as soon as possible and then find an opportunity to reject him again later.

Ning Rusong looked at her carefully and said gently, "I'm sorry, I think I scared Miss He. I'll leave now."

After saying that, he turned and left. His back, illuminated by the dim light, looked somewhat desolate and quite pitiful.

He Yue was stunned in place, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses. She raised her hand to touch her face and muttered to herself, "Why didn't I know that I had such a magical charm?"

Did the God who caused her to travel through time give her a cheat? Was she given a tall, rich and handsome man from ancient times as soon as she landed?

…………

After the showdown, Ning Rusong looked for He Yue even more frequently, as if he had nothing to do all day. One day, He Yue asked him, "Since Mr. He is the superior of the county magistrate, why don't you handle government affairs?"

Ning Rusong answered her bluntly, "Actually my last name is not He, but Ning..."

"That's enough, stop talking." He Yue stopped him from saying anything further.

He Yue understood his concealment. After all, even she knew that Ning was Guo's surname. She sighed in her heart and lay on the recliner like a salted fish, supporting her head with her hands and looking him up and down.

Royal relatives! People are really different. Heaven is really unfair. It doesn't want him to suffer even a little. Not only was he born in Tsinghua University, but his life was also smooth. Even He Yue, who claims to have a mean mentality, was a little jealous.

Ning Rushong often came to see her, and gradually, He Yue's true nature was exposed. She lost all her pretentious image and could no longer pretend to be miserable or resentful.

"Miss He, I'm here to look for you!" A soft female voice came from outside the yard.

He Yue's eyes sparkled with surprise and she quickly sat up. This was a new friend she had made recently, Xia Suling. She met her when she went to the county to buy rouge. Only then did she realize that people could be so compatible with each other.

She tugged at Ning Rusong's sleeve and started to chase him away, "Mr. He, please leave first. You can't listen to what women say."

Even though I know his real surname, it is still better to call him Mr. He in public.

He Yue has failed to reject him several times these days, and she has become a little resigned. Even if the two of them cannot be together in the end, it will be fine for them to be friends for now.

Ning Rusong handed the small jar in his hand to her, "Miss He, don't refuse. This is a new rouge and it's not worth much."
