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

After Ye Xiaoxiao and He Jing finished their meal, they left Yipinju.

The two held hands and slowly walked home along the long street.

"Ah Jing, I think Manager Li won't be able to sleep tonight."

Ye Xiaoxiao found it amusing to think of Manager Li's nervous and guilty expression just now.

“If you’ve done too many bad things, you naturally won’t be able to sleep.” He Jing’s face darkened as he continued.

“I don’t think it’s because of his conscience. He’s probably thinking about how we’ll deal with him.”

As Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, she walked to a stall selling trinkets.

She has absolutely no resistance to these kinds of small stalls.

"Ah Jing, your birthday is coming soon. See if there's anything you like. I'll give it to you." As Ye Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes never left the stall in front of her.

He Jing leaned close to his ear, a smile playing on his lips, and whispered, "Xiao Xiao, you don't need to give me a special birthday gift. You know what I like."

Ye Xiaoxiao remained calm. Oh dear—why couldn't she hear anything all of a sudden?

Pretending to be deaf...

She absolutely loved the dazzling array of trinkets in front of her.

Suddenly, a ring caught her attention.

She picked it up casually and examined it closely. The ring was made of sterling silver with a subtle wave pattern around the outside, making it quite unique.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao pick up the ring, the stall owner said enthusiastically:

"Oh—Dr. Xiao and her husband are out shopping! Dr. Xiao, you have such a good eye. This ring is a one-of-a-kind treasure! It was originally a pair, let me show you the other one! Let me look for it!"

The boss then turned around and searched his cargo box carefully.

"Found it! Look, you two, this is it!"

Ye Xiaoxiao took another one from the vendor, which was intricately carved with undulating mountains.

She asked curiously, "Boss, you just said that these rings are unique, is there any explanation for that?"

The vendor was lost in memories.

"These rings are quite old; they were commissioned by my father when he was still alive."

“My father told me that a young couple specially ordered one for each other, one engraved with waves and the other with green mountains, symbolizing their vows of eternal love.”

"Alas—but when the appointed time to collect the ring arrived, only the woman came. She said she didn't want it anymore and would save it for the next destined couple."

Ye Xiaoxiao never expected there to be such a regretful story in it, but she and He Jing will definitely stay together until they grow old.

"Ah Jing, look at this, do you like it?" She held up a ring symbolizing a vow of eternal love, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the person beside her. "One for you, one for me. It symbolizes that we will never be apart."

He Jing had never believed in such things, but seeing how much Xiao Xiao liked them, he gazed at her with deep affection: "Having seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison. Xiao Xiao, we are destined to have these rings. Let's buy them!"

The vendor was overjoyed at the prospect of a successful deal. It's truly enviable how well Dr. Xiao and her husband have a loving relationship.

The two bought the ring and walked home hand in hand. The ring on their index fingers shimmered silver in the moonlight. A small ring...

......

Yipinju.

After He Jing and his companion left Yipinju, Manager Li was surprised to find that his back was completely soaked.

How evil!

He really couldn't understand how Ye Xiaoxiao knew where he hid his money, or how she knew he was eating stinky tofu in his room.

Could it be...

Manager Li, who had initially thought the rumors circulating in town were utter nonsense, gasped, quickly ran upstairs, locked the door, and hid the money in a different place.

After hiding the money, he went downstairs and gathered all the shop assistants together, where he did two big things.

"He Huzi, it's not that I don't want to keep you. It's just that we're incompatible. For your own good, and for mine, you should find another way to make a living!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Er He Huzi knew that what was bound to happen had finally arrived! He wailed, tears streaming down his face:

"Boss! You can't fire me just because I pulled down your pants at the stairwell today, can you? I swear, no one saw it was you! I covered your face! I swear, absolutely no one saw it! Boss! Please have some mercy, I promise I'll work even harder from now on!"

The other men stared wide-eyed at each other: "Is this for real? The manager's walking his bird in broad daylight? Ugh—that's disgusting!"
