This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Ye Xiaoxiao bent over and coughed violently, patting her chest frantically. He Jing frowned deeply, a pang of heartache rising in his heart, and he patted Ye Xiaoxiao's back to help her catch her breath.

After a long while, Ye Xiaoxiao stiffly raised her head and looked into He Jing's eyes, which were deeper than the night, giving him a meaningful look.

Then she spoke up, "Ah Jing, didn't I tell you...?"

Can I hear what's on your mind...?

Just as she was about to utter the second half of the sentence, she suddenly stopped. Some things were better left unsaid.

Otherwise, there would be much less fun, hehehehe...

"What did you say?" He Jing gently wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes from coughing, his movements tender.

Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand, a charming smile curving her lips: "N-nothing... I just wanted to say that the Ruyi cake was so delicious that I ate it a little too quickly. Hehehe..."

Under the cover of night, the woman's eyebrows curved, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of light, and her skin was as delicate as white porcelain, with a slight hint of jade.

He Jing bent his index finger and gently wiped away the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

His touch was very light, and Ye Xiaoxiao felt an uncontrollable joy welling up inside her. The warm touch from the corner of her mouth felt like a tickle on her heart.

He Jing lowered his hand, his expression unchanged, and followed Ye Xiaoxiao's hand to hold hers tightly.

Ye Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and stared at the two clasped hands. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her face. After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand that was being held and, with a smack, left a red mark on the back of He Jing's hand.

He Jing's gaze fell on the bright red lip print on the back of his hand, then he stared intently at Ye Xiaoxiao, his deep eyes revealing no undisguised desire. He leaned close to Ye Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, don't provoke me again."

When Ye Xiaoxiao met He Jing's eyes, she sensed his desire and madness. For a moment, she felt like she was about to be swallowed up by the person in front of her, and she shrank back without any backbone, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

So, I put my hands down and walked obediently.

......

Since recovering from her illness, Mother He has spent her days embroidering sachets at home and visiting her neighbor, Aunt Wang, whenever she has free time. She spends her time chatting with the elderly woman.

That day, she was returning from Aunt Wang's house.

Then they saw Fatty's mother standing at the gate of her own yard, constantly peering inside, seemingly trying to figure out what she was up to.

No one was home at the moment. Xiao Xiao had gone to town, and A Jing had gone to the mountains. After the three children finished practicing their calligraphy, they had gone off to play somewhere, and even Xiao Hei and Da Bai had gone with them.

"Fatty's mom, is something wrong?"

Mother He's face was calm, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, and she asked.

Aunt Sun was taken aback, her eyes darting around. She hadn't expected to be caught red-handed by Mrs. He. She touched her hair and looked uncomfortable.

"Nothing... I just came back from the mountains... just passing by..."

Mother He clearly sensed the guilty conscience in the other person's words, but she didn't point it out and walked past her towards home.

"Um... Eldest Sister He, there are some things I'm not sure if I should say..."

Aunt Sun looked hesitant and spoke haltingly.

He frowned slightly after hearing what the other person said. She had lived in the village for so many years and although she rarely had the opportunity to interact with other people, she would always hear some gossip.

For example, Aunt Sun is a gossip who always has to meddle in other people's business, and she has an extremely shrewish personality.

Now she's acting suspiciously in front of her own house, her words filled with doubt, which is unlike her usual self.

Mother He's expression hardened, and she straightened her posture, saying, "Fatty's mother, since you've already said you're unsure whether to say it, then don't say it. I'm sure what you're about to say is something I won't like to hear."

Aunt Sun's eyes widened, not expecting the other person to shut her up so directly. She simply spoke up:

"Eldest sister of the He family, what I want to say is related to your daughter-in-law."

Upon hearing that it was about Xiao Xiao, Madam He stood in the courtyard, staring intently at the person outside, waiting for her to continue.

Seeing that there was a chance, Aunt Sun immediately began her performance with beaming eyes.

"Eldest sister He, I feel ashamed to say this, but I still think it's better to say it. You can't be kept in the dark."
