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

Qian Ruoyun never expected that Xiao Xiao was already married.

Ye Xiaoxiao took a sip of fragrant tea and nodded. A hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes as she thought of He Jing.

"I can't believe you're already married."

Qian Ruoyun couldn't imagine what kind of man such a wonderful woman as Xiao Xiao would marry.

However, judging from He Wuyang's rosy lips and white teeth, her older brother's appearance is probably not too bad either; it's just a matter of what his character is like.

"Does Ruoyun have someone she likes?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked gossipy.

Upon hearing this, for some reason, the image of the tall and imposing hunter she had seen before involuntarily surfaced in Qian Ruoyun's mind.

Her face suddenly turned red.

That being said, she hadn't seen that person in a long time.

Ye Xiaoxiao noticed the girl next to her looking shy, so it seemed that Ruoyun also had someone she liked.

She couldn't help but tease, "Whose young master is he? To be able to impress our Miss Qian?"

"Oh dear! How embarrassing. Xiao Xiao, please stop teasing me. It's not that I'm particularly fond of him, it's just that he's a bit special."

Qian Ruoyun took a sip of tea, concealing her shyness and joy.

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You can't say that. Isn't the affection between a man and a woman precisely because of that special feeling?"

Qian Ruoyun sighed, resting her round cheeks on her hands: "I don't even know his name, we're just not meant to be! Sigh—"

She changed the subject and steered the conversation back to Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Xiao, tell me, is your husband good to you? What kind of person is he?"

He Wuyang couldn't join the adults' conversation at first; she kept eating, her cheeks puffed out, looking extremely content.

The pastries at this shop are so delicious, I wish I could bring some back for my mother and the others.

Hearing her sister-in-law and Sister Yun bring up her older brother, she blurted out without thinking.

“My eldest brother is the best person in the world! My sister-in-law is too!” The little girl paused, then continued, “And my mother, and my second brother, and actually… me too.”

The little girl's mouth was stuffed with snacks, and her cheeks puffed out as she spoke, making her look just like an adorable little squirrel.

His big, round eyes were serious, but what he said made the others burst into laughter.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Qian Ruoyun sat on either side of He Wuyang. Seeing how cute she was, they couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"Yes, our Ayang is the best girl in the world."

"Yes, yes, Ah Yang is the cutest child I've ever seen."

The group exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Ye Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, pondered deeply: What kind of person is He Jing?

Putting aside his good looks, he was calm, humble, polite, and neither arrogant nor servile. He had a gentle smile, cooked delicious food, was a skilled hunter, and was well-educated. Apart from being a little quiet, there was nothing wrong with him.

As she thought about these things, her expression was filled with tenderness and affection, her eyes were upturned, and her beautiful face was a sight to behold.

He is indeed a very good person, someone worth working with.

Spending time with him, you'll discover that he's like a fine vintage wine, becoming more mellow and sweet with each sip, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

......

That day, Ye Xiaoxiao did not need to go to the Wujitang Clinic for consultations.

He Jing went hunting in the mountains, while she went to gather medicinal herbs.

Since they made their relationship public, their relationship progressed rapidly, and they were often seen holding hands.

Once they reached the mountain, they split up and agreed to meet at the small shed that He Jing had built.

In early May, the rain in the mountains can come down suddenly.

Before Ye Xiaoxiao could collect many medicinal herbs, a spring rain poured down on her, forcing her to run back into the small shed.

Before long, when she arrived at the shed, her clothes were soaked through.

A moment later, He Jing, carrying several prey, also came running over in a hurry.

The shed that He Jing built wasn't very big; it contained a wooden bed for resting.

It's called a bed, but it's really just a simple resting place made of wooden planks pieced together.

In front of the wooden bed, He Jing started a fire, leaving the door open so that the smoke could dissipate from the doorway.

The flames flickered, radiating a warm glow.

"Ahem—Xiao Xiao. You...you should dry your wet clothes in the fire!"

He didn't dare look at Ye Xiaoxiao when he said this. In fact, from the moment he returned to the shed and caught a glimpse of her soaking wet, He Jing quickly looked away. He even tried to avoid looking at Ye Xiaoxiao when he spoke.
