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

Chapter 172 Want to Eat Something Else

After leaving the Qian family, Ye Xiaoxiao went straight back to Wuji Hall.

At this moment, only Bai Qing was left in the pharmacy, sorting out medicinal herbs.

In the afternoon, more patients arrived one after another, and Ye Xiaoxiao was busy until dark.

After seeing off the last patient, Ye Xiaoxiao stood up and stretched, only to see a familiar figure standing outside the pharmacy waiting for her.

Under the dim sky, the man stood under the eaves of the pharmacy, his upright figure like a pine tree on Biluo Peak.

He was already tall and slender, and his dark clothes made him appear even taller and more dashing, attracting the attention of young women passing by.

He noticed the sidelong glances from those around him, and a hint of impatience flickered in his usually calm eyes. His brows furrowed slightly, his expression indifferent and aloof.

As if sensing Ye Xiaoxiao's gaze, He Jing turned his head and met a pair of bright and beautiful eyes that were smiling at him.

He Jing smiled, and the surrounding noise receded like a tide. The coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a deep warmth and tenderness like a candlelight in the night.

He slowly walked towards Ye Xiaoxiao, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He looked down at the person before him and said:

"it's over?"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, naturally hooked her hand around his, interlocked their fingers, turned around to greet Bai Qing, and the two left the herbal medicine shop.

Bai Qing looked up at the two figures and smiled knowingly. Doctor Ye and Brother He had such a good relationship that it made people envious.

"Ah Jing, why didn't you go inside and wait for me just now?"

He Jing tightened his grip on her right hand, leading her away from a stall, and said, "I was afraid of disturbing you."

"Do you know how many young women stared at you when you were standing under the eaves? They were all staring at you so intently that they couldn't even walk straight."

Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and continued in a long, slow tone, "Next time you stand outside, put up a sign next to you that says 'My Wife is a Fierce Woman,' how about that?"

She imagined He Jing standing there with a cold and aloof expression, a sign next to him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This scene was truly... incredibly dramatic.

He Jing glanced at her sideways, his deep eyes seeming to ripple with water, and a hint of a smile spilled from his tightly closed lips.

He mimicked Ye Xiaoxiao's speaking pace and said slowly, "How about we write down 'I am Doctor Ye,' what does Xiaoxiao think?"

Upon hearing his serious response to her joke, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she looked at the person beside her in disbelief.

She saw a smile on the other person's lips, and eyes like varying shades of amber. Her own reflection was mirrored in those beautiful eyes, captivating her heart and soul.

He Jing took in Ye Xiaoxiao's reaction. At this moment, her clear eyes were like a pool of clear spring water, gently rippling through his heart, making him feel a little itchy.

Their eyes were locked, and countless threads of emotion seemed to surge in the air, tightly binding them together, making it hard for them to part.

"Cuckoo-"

Ye Xiaoxiao's smile suddenly froze. To hide her embarrassment, she looked around for something delicious to eat on the street.

She spotted a pastry shop she liked, but it had a "sold out" sign hanging at the door.

"Eat it!"

He Jing took out a package of pastries from his pocket; it was the Ruyi Cake that Ye Xiaoxiao liked.

Ye Xiaoxiao blinked, took the pastries from He Jing's hand, and her brows were filled with endless joy.

"Ah Jing, you're so thoughtful!"

With a smile in her bright eyes, Ye Xiaoxiao picked up a warm pastry and offered it to He Jing's lips.

"Try it first."

He Jing shook his head, gently took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and brought the Ruyi cake to her lips: "I'm not hungry, you eat it."

Watching Ye Xiaoxiao take a bite of the Ruyi cake with her red lips, He Jing's deep eyes welled up with emotion, his gaze growing even darker, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He wanted something else to eat right now, rather than the auspicious cake.

For example...the rosy cherry lips in front of me...

"Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—"

Just as Ye Xiaoxiao took a big bite of the Ruyi cake, she heard He Jing's inner monologue. She gasped sharply, but ended up inhaling crumbs of the cake into her trachea.

"Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—"
