With the addition of Yun Che and Yun Yi, the speed increased a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai called Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, Yun Che has finally come here, so please stop cooking and go cook."

"Hey, Mom, I'll go right away!" Li Xiaoxiao responded, put down the sieve in his hand and went into the kitchen.

Li Xiaoxiao walked into the kitchen and began cooking with swift movements. She planned to make her signature braised pork and stir-fry some vegetables. Soon, the kitchen was filled with fragrant aromas.

Yun Che and Yun Yi helped set up the tables and chairs, while Bai brought out plates of steaming hot meals. Seeing that the food was ready, Bai Dong washed his hands, cleaned up, and walked into the main room. The other workers who came to work also went back to have lunch.

Everyone sat together and had a great time.

"Yun Che, thank you for helping us today. Come, eat more!" Bai enthusiastically picked up some food for Yun Che.

“Auntie, you’re welcome. This is what I should do.” Yun Che replied politely.

Yun Yi next to him couldn't help but picked up a piece of pork belly and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, "Hmm, delicious! Miss Li, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Yun Yi gave Li Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.

"Brother Yun, if it tastes good, eat more." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Seeing Yun Yi wolfing down his food, Yun Che pretended to cough, signaling Yun Yi to pay attention to his image.

"Yun Yi, eat slowly. No one is trying to snatch the food from you." Mrs. Bai said with a smile as she looked at Yun Yi eating.

"Hmm, this meat smells so good." Yun mumbled while eating.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Che, who was eating elegantly. She thought: Yun Che is good-looking and eats so elegantly.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very happily. Afterwards, Yun Che and Yun Yi helped to clean up the dishes.

"Yun Che, you are such a good young man." Bai praised.

"Auntie, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, Yun Yi and I will go back first."

"Okay, take care." Bai and Li Xiaoxiao saw them out the door.

Li Xiaoxiao stood at the door, watching Yun Che's departing back, feeling a little lost.

At night, Li Xiaoxiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The scenes of her time with Yun Che during the day kept resurfacing in her mind, especially the image of Yun Che's back as he left, which left her feeling restless for a long time.

"What's wrong with me?" Li Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, "Do I like him so much?..."

Li Xiaoxiao shook her head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts. However, Yun Che's figure became clearer and clearer.

Over the next few days, Li Xiaoxiao was troubled. She began to look forward to Yun Che's arrival, and every time she heard a noise outside, she would unconsciously look towards the door.

Yun Che seemed to have sensed Li Xiaoxiao's feelings, and he came to see her more frequently.

That day, Yun Che came to the Li family as usual. He brought some writing brushes, inkstones, and a bouquet of flowers, saying they were for Li Fang. Li Xiaoxiao smiled immediately when she saw Yun Che.

"Yun Che, you're here!" Li Xiaoxiao said happily.

“Xiaoxiao, this bouquet of flowers is for you.” Yun Che handed over the flowers with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao took the flowers, her heart filled with joy, "Thank you, Yun Che."

Bai watched from the side and said with a smile: "You two are in love with each other."

Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao blushed upon hearing this. Yun Che mustered up his courage and took Li Xiaoxiao's hand. "Xiaoxiao, I like you. Are you willing to be with me?"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded shyly, "I do."

From then on, Li Xiaoxiao and Yun Che confirmed their feelings for each other, and their feelings continued to heat up as they got along with each other.

Yun Che came more and more frequently. When he had nothing to do, he would go to Lijia Village almost every day. As for the letters from the capital and the matters to be handled, Yun Che would basically find time to deal with them when he returned home at night.

That day, Yun Che came to the Li residence as usual. He said mysteriously to Bai Shi, "Aunt, I have something I want to discuss with you." Bai Shi looked at Yun Che and said with a smile, "What is it? Tell me."

Yun Che took a deep breath and said, "I want to take Xiaoxiao back to the capital. I want her to meet my family." Bai Shi was a little surprised when she heard this, but then she smiled with relief. "Yun Che, the fact that you think this way shows that you truly care about Xiaoxiao." She looked at Li Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you willing to go to the capital with Yun Che?"

Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I'll listen to my mother."

Bai patted her hand and said, "Silly child, you should make your own decision about your own happiness. Since you like Yun Che, then go with him."

After hearing this, Yun Che happily took Li Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Thank you, auntie. I will definitely take good care of Xiaoxiao." Just like that, Yun Che took Li Xiaoxiao on the journey to the capital.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, full of longing for the future.

After arriving in the capital, Yun Che took Li Xiaoxiao directly back to the Yun Mansion and settled her in the courtyard where he lived.

In order to protect Li Xiaoxiao, Yun Che specifically ordered Yun Yi to follow Li Xiaoxiao, while he went to the main courtyard where Yun Mutian lived. Yun Mutian had already known about this when Yun Che brought Li Xiaoxiao back, and he was also waiting for Yun Che's arrival.

Yun Che walked into the main courtyard and saluted Yun Mutian.

Yun Mutian nodded slightly and said, "Yun Che, is the woman you brought back the one you admire?"

Yun Che replied respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa. Her name is Li Xiaoxiao, and she is the love of my life."

Yun Mutian looked at Yun Che, a barely perceptible glint of satisfaction flashing across his eyes. "Well, since you've made up your mind, bring her to see me."

Yun Che was delighted and quickly replied, "Thank you, Grandfather. I'll bring her over right away." After saying that, he turned and left.

After a while, Yun Che brought Li Xiaoxiao to the main courtyard. Li Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Mutian nervously and bowed. Yun Mutian smiled and nodded, saying gently, "Don't be so reserved. You can live here peacefully from now on." Li Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling in her heart and looked at Yun Che gratefully.

“Grandfather, I want to go to Li Village to propose marriage first, and then set the wedding date.” Yun Che took the opportunity to say to Yun Mutian.

Yun Mutian nodded. "That's great. Just make the arrangements."

After Yun Che thanked his grandfather, he took Li Xiaoxiao back to his own courtyard.

A few days later, Yun Che returned to Li Village with Li Xiaoxiao, the betrothal gifts, and the matchmaker.
