The blond-haired Hokage, starting from before Hinata's wedding.

Qiu Xiaoming noticed Ino's displeasure and quickly said, "Actually, if you ask me, the clothes you just picked out are incomparable to what you're wearing now."

"The clothes you're wearing now perfectly showcase your strengths," Qiu Xiaoming continued.

Hearing Qiu Xiaoming's words, a blush appeared on Jingye's pretty face. She then put the clothes back where they were and muttered, "I don't care, you have to help me choose a new outfit today."

“Um…” Qiu Xiaoming hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and looked at a dress on a rack behind Ino.

Ino followed Qiu Xiaoming's gaze, her blush deepening. She snorted softly, "Hmph~ Don't even think about it!"

Qiu Xiaoming shrugged helplessly upon hearing this.

He didn't really want Ino to wear that outfit, since it was just too revealing, practically the same as not wearing anything at all.

Ino casually picked out two pieces of clothing, paid for them, and continued shopping with Qiu Xiaoming in the mall.

"Let's go, I booked a restaurant a few days ago. I thought I wouldn't be able to eat there, but let's go together today." Ino pulled Qiu Xiaoming's arm and walked forward, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at Qiu Xiaoming.

"Wow, Ino-nee is actually treating us to dinner? Then I won't be polite!" Qiu Xiaoming said with a surprised look.

Ino smiled slightly without saying anything, but the blush on her face deepened.

Soon, the two arrived at a restaurant.

This is a restaurant for couples. Two rows of huge balloons hang at the entrance, and candles are placed inside. The lighting is dim and soft, creating a very warm atmosphere.

Ino and Qiu Xiaoming entered the restaurant and found that the entire restaurant was made up of partitions, providing a private environment for the guests.

The two found a table and sat down. The waiter came over, asked them what they wanted to order, and then left.

After ordering, Ino sat quietly in her seat, lost in thought.

A moment later, the restaurant staff brought the food.

"This is 'Affectionate Noodles.' Don't be fooled by the large amount in the bowl; there's actually only one noodle. Each person should start eating from one end." After a brief explanation, the waiter left.

"Hey, Ino-nee, you eat this." Qiu Xiaoming pushed the bowl of noodles towards Ino and said.

Ino gently bit her red lips, then whispered, "Let's eat together."

“Uh…” Qiu Xiaoming was stunned when he heard Ino’s suggestion.

"What? You're disgusted with your old woman?" Ino glared at Qiu Xiaoming, pretending to be angry, when she saw him hesitate.

"Of course not," Qiu Xiaoming quickly shook his head and said, "Alright then, I'll gladly accept your offer."

Of course he was happy to accept; he was just pretending to decline earlier.

Ino watched as Qiu Xiaoming ate the other end of the noodles, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite of the other end of the noodles.

She was very dissatisfied with Sai; years of pent-up resentment after their marriage finally erupted in this ambiguous environment.

The two slowly ate their sections of noodles. The noodles were of limited length and would eventually run out.

When the noodles were less than ten centimeters long, Qiu Xiaoming and Jingye both stopped, their eyes meeting, sparks flying in the air.

The two could feel each other's breaths coming from the other's nose, and their breathing became increasingly heavy.

This situation lasted for about two minutes. Qiu Xiaoming continued eating his noodles and slowly approached Ino.

Ino slowly closed her beautiful eyes, awaiting the final moment.

Finally, Qiu Xiaoming bit off the last bit of noodles, and he kissed Ino's cherry-like lips.

Ino's body trembled violently, her heart pounded, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted.

Ino only paused for a moment, her red lips slightly parted.

Qiu Xiaoming immediately understood Ino's meaning and became excited. He stuck out his tongue and licked Ino's delicate lips before entering her mouth.

"Mmm..." Ino's hands unconsciously wrapped around Qiu Xiaoming's neck, and the two bodies pressed together.

Qiu Xiaoming didn't stand on ceremony. He hugged Jingye in his arms and kissed her deeply. The two of them were like thirsty beasts, greedily sucking the sweet taste in each other's mouths, wishing they could swallow each other whole.

After a long while, the two separated, panting heavily as they looked at each other, their eyes filled with desire.

Qiu Xiaoming already had a possessive desire for Xie Meimei, and it goes without saying that he had lust in his eyes.

And Ino? Like Sakura and Kushina, she hadn't been kissed in a long time, hadn't been held tightly in a man's arms in a long time, so she was also unable to control her emotions at this moment.

"Ding-a-ling!" As if sensing that the two in the private room had finished their intimate moment, the waiter's bell rang.

Qiu Xiaoming and Jingye quickly separated, and then the waiter brought in new dishes.

Yue! Yi first posted, "This dish is called..."

Chapter 18 Eating the Last and Most Delicious Dish

"Sai, I'm sorry, today is supposed to be your and Ino's anniversary, and I've made you busy here."

Inside the Hokage Building, Naruto looked at Sai and said apologetically.

Sai did not grow at all, as Ino had thought.

Actually, with Ino's repeated reminders, he also knew that anniversaries needed to be celebrated with a date.

He also asked Naruto for leave a week ago, planning to spend some quality time with Ino today.

However, because Hinata's situation happened so suddenly, and Naruto and Hinata's wedding was just around the corner, Hinata was kidnapped. If this got out, it would definitely cause some turmoil in the village.

So, Sai had no choice but to put aside his date with Ino and help Naruto.

"It's alright, it's just an anniversary. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Sai said with a smile, shaking his head.

Sai believes that he and Ino have plenty of time in the future, but he can't just ignore Hinata's situation.

"Don't worry, after this is over, I will definitely apologize to Ino on your behalf," Naruto patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

“No need.” Sai shook his head and said, “I believe Ino won’t be angry about this.”

"If you ask me, when you get back, remember to buy Ino some clothes and a bouquet of flowers for her," Naruto reminded Sai, then added, "Women are bound to be a little stingy sometimes."

"Flowers? Why buy flowers? We have so many flowers in our local flower shop, why would we need to buy more?" Sai asked Naruto with a puzzled look.

Naruto's lips twitched upon hearing this, and then he said, "Just don't worry about it, just do as I say."

Sai still looked at Naruto with a puzzled expression, but since Naruto had said so, he had no choice but to comply.

“Alright then,” Sai agreed.

Although Sai verbally agreed, he didn't really care. After all, he thought Ino wouldn't be angry, nor would she be so petty about a single flower.

Little did he know that Ino was taking revenge on him for his actions. She went shopping with Qiu Xiaoming, took him to a love hotel, and even passionately kissed Qiu Xiaoming in the love hotel.

"Is there no more food left?" Qiu Xiaoming asked, staring intently at Ino in his arms.

He and Ino have already eaten seven or eight dishes, and they have kissed seven or eight times.

If there are no other dishes, he will have to enjoy the most delicious ones.

"Hmm..." Ino lowered her head and responded softly.

She had already guessed Qiu Xiaoming's underlying meaning, so she was very shy at this moment, but also somewhat expectant.

“Sister Ino…” Qiu Xiaoliu (1) Qi Yi Er (8) Ba Ming called out softly.

"Hmm?" Ino raised her head and looked at Qiu Xiaoming with a puzzled expression.

Just as Ino raised her head, Qiu Xiaoming lowered his head again and pecked Ino's lips hard.

"Well."

This kiss was even more passionate, leaving him powerless to resist.

Ino felt as if her heart was melting, her whole body was numb, and a wave of weakness washed over her.

Qiu Xiaoming took the opportunity to probe into Jingye's red lips, wantonly exploring every inch of her space.

Ino didn't stop Qiu Xiaoming; instead, she actively went along with his actions, even offering herself to Qiu Xiaoming's mouth.

The two of them intertwined, kissing passionately.

After a long while, they parted, their eyes filled with deep affection.

Bai Qinchen picked up Jingye and let her sit on his lap. Jingye cooperated by stretching out her arms to wrap around Qiu Xiaoming's neck, her face flushed and her eyes glazed.

"Ino-nee, the waiter won't be coming in," Qiu Xiaoming whispered in Ino's ear.

"Mmm!" Ino replied, blushing.

"Then I'm going to eat the last and most delicious dish~" Qiu Xiaoming said in a low voice with a wicked smile.

Upon hearing his words, Ino's body trembled involuntarily, and her face turned crimson.

In this ambiguous atmosphere, Ino's heart was already in a complete mess. Coupled with the several kisses she had just shared with Qiu Xiaoming, Ino had completely fallen into the web of love that Qiu Xiaoming had woven.

She did not resist and silently nodded.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Xiaoming's heart pounded wildly; he felt as if he had a little rabbit trapped inside him.

Qiu Xiaoming slowly unbuttoned Ino's clothes, revealing her alluring breasts.

Ino's skin was snow-white and smooth, like solidified cream, shimmering with an alluring luster and emitting a faint fragrance.

"Ino-nee, you're so beautiful!" Qiu Xiaoming exclaimed, her eyes filled with amazement.

Ino's figure can definitely be described as a devilish figure, with perfect curves, proud breasts, a flat and slender waist, and a perky butt.

Her figure is absolutely perfect.

“I’m already an old woman, how can I compare to young girls?” Ino said softly, her eyes slightly closed.

Although she said this, a happy smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she enjoyed being praised like this.

She had never heard such praise from Zuo Jing before, so she was enjoying the feeling and was very happy.

"How could that be? In my eyes, Ino-nee doesn't look old at all. In fact, you could say that Ino-nee is at her most beautiful age right now," Qiu Xiaoming said seriously.

"Really?" Ino opened her eyes and looked at Qiu Xiaoming who was looking at her closely, asking with a heart full of concern.

"Do you think I'm lying?" Qiu Xiaoming pointed to the tip of his nose and said, pretending to be serious.

"Pfft!" Seeing Qiu Xiaoming's expression, Ino couldn't help but laugh.

"Ino-nee, you look so beautiful when you smile," Qiu Xiaoming said sincerely when he saw Ino's smile.

"Thank you." Ino's face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.

Everything Qiu Xiaoming did made Ino extremely happy. Her beauty was finally being recognized, and this feeling excited and joyful made her.

She hugged Qiu Xiaoming's neck tightly, breathed on his ear, and said softly, "Today, as long as we don't cross that final line, I'll agree to whatever you want."

"Huh?" Qiu Xiaoming looked at Jingye with a depressed expression. He thought he could finally eat meat today.

"This is a restaurant, how can you do that kind of thing?" Ino noticed the disappointment on Qiu Xiaoming's face, lightly punched him, and said coquettishly.

"Then should I go to your place, or mine? If all else fails, we can get a hotel room?" Qiu Xiaoming looked at Jingye, asking for her opinion, a mischievous smile on his face.

"No way, it's only the first day. You've already gotten a huge advantage by playing with me like this. I'll see how you behave later. If you're well-behaved, maybe I'll let you have it." Ino said shyly, her cheeks flushed.

Chapter 19 Mission: Rest with Kushina

In the private room of the couples' restaurant, Ino's charm blossomed in Qiu Xiaoming's hands.

Although the two haven't taken the final step, there's already a spark of love between them; they're just one step away from making it official.

"Huff~ Huff~" Ino gasped for breath, her pretty face flushed, her chest heaving violently.

"Ino-nee, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Qiu Xiaoming asked in her ear, his arm around her waist.

"I'm satisfied, I'm so satisfied. I've never been as happy as I am today in my entire life." Ino leaned on Qiu Xiaoming's shoulder, her face filled with contentment.

"Hehe! Then will you eat it for me?" Qiu Xiaoming said mischievously.

"You're so annoying!" Ino blushed and said in a coquettish voice, "You're always thinking about doing bad things."

"Who can blame me when Ino-nee is so beautiful?"

Qiu Xiaoming licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.

"Don't be impatient, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Ino gently pushed Qiu Xiaoming away, her face still flushed.

Ino knew, of course, that she couldn't give herself to Qiu Xiaoming too quickly, otherwise, once he got a taste of the novelty, he definitely wouldn't cherish it in the future.

After all, their relationship was secret; she couldn't openly become Qiu Xiaoming's woman, and Qiu Xiaoming would have his own woman in the future.

If she wanted to win Qiu Xiaoming's heart, she had to keep him in suspense and not let him succeed easily.

"Alright, it's getting late, we should go, otherwise the waiters will start talking about us." Jingye said, standing up from Qiu Xiaoming's arms.
