Upon hearing Han Xueyao's counter-question, Hu Xiaobei nodded and said, "Auntie, of course I want to hear the truth!"

With a smile, Han Xueyao stared at Hu Xiaobei and earnestly explained, "To tell the truth, I wasn't really scared just now. Because I always felt that you would definitely show up at the last moment!"

At the end of her sentence, a flicker of confidence shone in Han Xueyao's eyes!

"My, I didn't expect Auntie to have so much confidence in me!"

"What else?"

With such a remark, she gave Hu Xiaobei a look and said with an ethereal voice, "Ever since before, you've been astonishing me time and time again, so naturally, my confidence in you has been growing!"

As she explained this, Han Xueyao thought back to when she first returned to the village.

Back then, Hu Xiaobei was decent but not as dazzling as he was now.

Later on, he became more and more dazzling!

This also made Han Xueyao more and more confident in him, to the point where she even felt there was nothing in the world that could stump him...

Watching Han Xueyao's enticing smile, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but take a few glances at her!

After his gaze lingered a moment on her trembling, lifted bottom, Hu Xiaobei asked with some warmth, "Auntie, how is the school's reconstruction going?"

Hearing such a concerned inquiry, Han Xueyao replied, "Yes! It's basically taking shape now! In another month's time, it should be almost completely built. You don't know, all the students are so excited! Because they know they're about to have brand-new classrooms and a brand-new plastic track!"

"That's great!"

Hu Xiaobei smiled!

He was very happy to be able to do something for the children...

"Yes! Once the school is built, we should go take a look together!"

"Absolutely!"

At this point, Hu Xiaobei shifted the conversation and said, "Auntie, I remember someone promising me that as long as I could lead the village to prosperity and rebuild the school, she would grant me one wish. I wonder if that still counts?"

"This little bastard finally remembered his bet with me!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, she murmured shyly to herself!

Soon after, she whispered, "Of course it counts! Tell me, what do you want Auntie to do for you?"

"I really want to give you a kiss!"

Looking at Han Xueyao's bashful demeanor, Hu Xiaobei sincerely admired her!

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Auntie, you'll agree to anything I ask for, right."

"Yes! As long as you speak it, I will definitely agree!"

Giving Hu Xiaobei a shy glance, she was full of timid affection...

"In that case, how about you become my girlfriend?"

"You... What nonsense are you talking about! How could that possibly be?"

"Ay, Auntie, you big liar, you just said you'd agree to anything!"

"I..."

Han Xueyao opened her mouth...

After a while, she whispered shyly, "But we simply can't! How could I possibly be your girlfriend."

"What's there to fear? Okay, it's settled then. From now on, you, Han Xueyao, are my girlfriend Hu Xiaobei's!"

"I..."

"If you refuse again, that means you're not keeping your promise!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention the promise once more, Han Xueyao sighed!

Soon, with a determined mind, Han Xueyao bit her lip, "Then... alright then! I'll agree to your request. But you have to give me time to adapt! After I have fully adapted, then we can openly acknowledge our relationship, understand?"

"Ay, that means we can only sneak around for now! Sounds super thrilling when you put it that way."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard!"

Fuming, she glared at Hu Xiaobei and stamped her foot, quickly turning away!

Hu Xiaobei chuckled with a hehe, rapidly following her...

The next second, Hu Xiaobei grasped Han Xueyao's delicate white hand...

Feeling her hand seized by Hu Xiaobei, she jumped as if shocked, "What... what are you doing?"

"Ay, I am your boyfriend! Can't I even hold hands with my girlfriend?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei say this so assertively, she shyly glanced at him and said, "Okay!"

With that, Han Xueyao whispered, "But Xiaobei, you promised to give me time to adapt, and the way you're acting now, I'm having a bit of trouble with it!"

"Is that so! Well, I understand!"

Somewhat disappointed, Hu Xiaobei looked at Han Xueyao and then let go of her plump little hand.

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's disappointment, Han Xueyao felt a bit sorry for him!

"Really sworn enemies, huh!"

Muttering to herself, Han Xueyao took a quick glance around and whispered, "If we run into someone I know later, remember to let go, okay?"

"Definitely!"

After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei once again grasped her chubby little hand...

In the following days, Hu Xiaobei stayed peacefully in the village!

Every day, apart from handling some serious matters, he would hang around Han Xueyao, which gradually made her get used to his presence.

So, in private, Han Xueyao no longer rejected Hu Xiaobei's affections...

...

That day, while Hu Xiaobei was playfully bickering with her, suddenly his phone rang!

Picking up the phone, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the number...

Quickly, with a light chuckle, he answered the call, "Xue'er sister, have you finally finished your business?"

Indeed!

The caller was Song Xue'er from the pharmaceutical factory.

Previously, she had been on a business trip out of town, so Hu Xiaobei hadn't been in contact with her for a long time...

"Yes! I've been away on a trip for so long, and I've heard that you've been quite successful recently!"

"Not bad, I guess."

"Do you have time today? Come over here, I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay!"

...

After hanging up, Hu Xiaobei heard a sour voice say, "Oh, look at Mr. Busy, you get calls from beauties every day!"

Hearing the sour tone, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Aunt, am I smelling a hint of jealousy here? You're not jealous, are you?"

Giving Hu Xiaobei a look, Han Xueyao put her hands on her hips and confidently said, "Why not? I'm your girlfriend now, is it wrong for me to be a bit jealous when another pretty girl asks you out?"

"Of course not! Absolutely not! Right, do you want to come with me? That way you can keep an eye on me?"

"Better not, there's too much to do here!"

Han Xueyao wanted to go with Hu Xiaobei, but after thinking it over, she decided against it!

Because she knew there were indeed many things to take care of in the village!

If she left, any unexpected issues could become difficult to handle.

"Alright, then when I come back, I'll bring you something delicious. What do you want to eat?"

"Me? I don't want anything!"

"Then forget it!"

"You... just bring me some cotton candy! I remember really liking it when I was little!"

"Okay!"

After agreeing, Hu Xiaobei gently rubbed her face...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei said, "From now on, be more straightforward with me, and remember one thing, I'm your boyfriend, got it?"

"Got it!"

Nodding her head, Han Xueyao shyly lowered her gaze...

...

"I wonder what Xue'er sister wants to talk to me about this time?"

On his way, Hu Xiaobei was very curious...

Because the road had been greatly improved, it took only about fifteen minutes before Hu Xiaobei's car steadily parked at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei saw that the entire pharmaceutical factory had been newly renovated.

"I haven't been here for a while, by the looks of it, Xue'er sister hasn't been idle either!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei parked the car...

"Master Xiaobei!"

Just as he approached the main entrance, Hu Xiaobei noticed that the security guards immediately stood up...

Hearing such respectful words, Hu Xiaobei was slightly surprised, "You guys still recognize me?"

"Master Xiaobei, what are you talking about! We could never forget you in this lifetime!"

"That's right!"

"Master Xiaobei! We always have your picture hanging in our security room!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei was speechless...
