"I... I don't like him at all!"

Hearing Mu Zhenzhen's very focused inquiry, the flustered Yan'er unconsciously denied it outright!

Mu Zhenzhen understood Yan'er very well, so she knew that Yan'er wasn't telling the truth, "Really? Yan'er, if you don't like him, why did you want him to be a guest at your concert?"

"I... I... Okay! I admit I do have some feelings for Master Xiaobei!"

As she spoke, Yan'er involuntarily reminisced about Hu Xiaobei's various stunning performances!

Yan'er knew she would never forget them in her lifetime.

Because Hu Xiaobei had left such a deep impression on her heart before!

"Just a tiny bit of affection?"

"I..."

"Alright, Zhenzhen sister won't say anymore, as long as you're clear about your own feelings, that's fine!"

With a giggle, Mu Zhenzhen turned her head and swiftly released the handbrake...

The car soon started moving again.

"Ah, I was the one who initially asked Zhenzhen sister, but how come she ended up having the upper hand in the end!"

As the car started moving again, Yan'er snapped back to reality!

She pouted in annoyance, knowing full well that she'd fallen into the trap Mu Zhenzhen had dug just moments ago...

Thinking this, she pouted angrily. Very soon, she couldn't help but look behind her in the rearview mirror!

Soon, she saw Hu Xiaobei in the distance, looking toward her, and her heart skipped a beat...

Quickly, she murmured to herself, "Master Xiaobei, since you want to bind me to you, we should indeed spend more time together in the future!"

After saying this, she hummed a little tune...

She was in a good mood because she knew she would soon see Hu Xiaobei again!

Seeing Yan'er in good spirits, Mu Zhenzhen's lips curved into a slight smile!

Before, due to the scar on her face, Yan'er hadn't smiled for a long time...

This made her very anxious, but now, seeing her happy smile again, Mu Zhenzhen felt very joyful!

She knew it was all because of Hu Xiaobei...

"He has helped me and Yan'er so much, I really don't know how to thank him, maybe the only way is to devote myself to him!"

Thinking this, she shyly bit her lower lip...

...

In the office, after knowing Murong Qingqing's intentions, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brows slightly, "Qingqing sister, are you really not coming back with me now?"

"Yes! Your sister here is now a popular host, so I have a lot of other things to do!"

Hearing her proudly say this, Hu Xiaobei looked at her, noticing that she was in much better spirits after being massaged by him!

"Is that so!"

Sensing Hu Xiaobei's faint disappointment, Murong Qingqing stepped forward, "Actually, I would love to go back with my dear brother, but I have a mission here in Sanfeng City! Lake Heart City television station is planning to collaborate on a program with Sanfeng City television station, and I'm here to discuss the partnership! I can't go back until it's finalized."

Truth be told, Murong Qingqing was also reluctant to leave Hu Xiaobei, but she had no choice...

Hearing Murong Qingqing's explanation, Hu Xiaobei nodded, "If Qingqing sister is here on official business, then alright! But once you're done, come find me! It's not just me who misses you, Aunt Han Xueyao misses you, too!"

"Okay! Deal! Once I'm done here, I'll go to Xiaohe Village to find you! After all, I can't escape the palm of your little bastard hands in this lifetime, so why bother trying to run."

"The lazier you are the better, because if you dare run, I'll spank you!"

While saying this, Hu Xiaobei swiftly hugged her.

At the same time, he patted her plump buttocks a few times!

This instantly made Murong Qingqing's cheeks turn a bright red...

"You little devil!"

Giggling, she leaned into Hu Xiaobei's ear and lazily whispered, "You little devil, why not take advantage of this moment to do something?"

"Of course, I..."

He was cut off as his lips twitched slightly.

Because at that moment, he heard someone speaking nearby!

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw a blushing You Na standing not far away, looking at him and Murong Qingqing!

"Damn it, when will I ever catch a break!"

Muttering under his breath, Hu Xiaobei felt somewhat dejected as he let go of Murong Qingqing...

The released Murong Qingqing also felt dejected...

Reading the mood of Hu Xiaobei and Murong Qingqing, You Na quietly explained, "Qingqing sister, Xiaobei little brother, I didn't want to interrupt, there's just something very important right now!"

Hearing You Na mention it was official business, Murong Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "You Na little sister, don't be nervous, tell me, what's happening?"

"It's like this, Station Director Xie wants to discuss the partnership with you and me!"

"That so! I understand!"

Realizing it was indeed official business, Murong Qingqing quickly agreed...

Soon, she looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei little brother, today's unfinished business can only continue another time!"

"Yes, official matters are the priority!"

Hu Xiaobei replied while rubbing his nose!

Although he was still feeling a bit frustrated, he knew there was nothing that could be done right now!

After Murong Qingqing and You Na left, Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath!

Afterward, he heard footsteps.

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw Fang Xiaoxiao walk in with a big bowl of freshly made fruit salad.

...

"Xiaobei, what's wrong with you? You seem in a bad mood!"

Hearing Fang Xiaoxiao's concerned inquiry, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "I'm okay, and you? Are you feeling better? Weren't you really sad when Yan'er left?"

"Yeah, I'm still very sad, so I made this fruit salad to comfort myself."

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched vigorously!

In that instant, he really didn't know what to say!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei zoning out, she took a spoonful, "Honestly, although I didn't spend much time with Yan'er, I'm truly sad she's gone. I..."

She couldn't continue!

Thinking she was too upset to go on, Hu Xiaobei quickly comforted her, "It's okay, don't be too sad. When she has a concert, we'll see her again."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Taste this, did I put too little salad dressing in the fruit salad?"

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei's face was full of lines!

"Oh no, I figured it out, it's a little short on dressing, I'll add some more!"

With that, she ran off!

"Xiaoxiao really is a little foodie!"

Rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei muttered to himself...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei composed himself and picked up the phone...

...

"Master Xiaobei, you called for me?"

In Hu Xiaobei's office, a young man came over and spoke with some apprehension.

Hu Xiaobei smiled at the young man.

He knew his name was Sun Zheng...

Hu Xiaobei was impressed by him partly because of his earnest work and also because Hu Xiaobei and Mu Zhenzhen had once ridden in his father's tricycle when they went up the mountain to gather herbs.

"Yes! I need you!"

"Master Xiaobei, whatever it is, just say it!"

Sun Zheng saw Hu Xiaobei nod and quickly responded...

Sensing his nervousness, Hu Xiaobei smiled, "Last time I went up the mountain to gather herbs, I met your father and used your family's tricycle!"

"Yes, my dad told me about it!"

"For that, I want to thank you and your father! After work, take some vegetables and fruits home, let the old man have a taste! If he likes them, you can regularly take some home!"

"Master Xiaobei, there's no need to thank me! I'm the one who should be thanking you for the job!"

Saying that, he looked at Hu Xiaobei excitedly.

His time working here wasn't long, but Sun Zheng was truly very happy because he loved it here and greatly admired Hu Xiaobei!

He saw Hu Xiaobei as his absolute idol.

Seeing Sun Zheng's excitement, Hu Xiaobei spoke again, "As you know, my main business is over in Lake Heart City, so I'll be leaving here soon!"

"Is that so?"

Feeling his disappointment, Hu Xiaobei said, "Before I leave, I want to ask you, would you like to be the store manager and help me manage this place?"

"This... Store manager? Me? Master Xiaobei, I can't do it! I really can't!"

Sun Zheng shook his head like a rattle drum because he truly felt he was not up to the task.

"How can you know you can't do it if you've never tried?"

"I..."

"I believe in you, you must have confidence in yourself!"

"Master Xiaobei, do... do you really believe in me?"

"Yes! I believe you can do it!"

"Alright! I agree!"

Upon hearing his resolute response, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei introduced him to everyone, and smoothly, he received everyone's support.

Seeing that everyone truly welcomed him as the store manager, Hu Xiaobei knew he made the right choice to appoint him to the role!

In the afternoon, Hu Xiaobei again had tea with the mayor of Sanfeng City, and that night, he boarded the return train with Fang Xiaoxiao...

...

"Is this Lake Heart City? The air seems much better than in Sanfeng City!"

Stepping out of the train station, Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her eyes lighting up slightly.

"Miss, this must be your first time in Lake Heart City! Our greening is very good here, of course, all of this is thanks to Master Xiaobei! He now has a large area of vegetable and fruit cultivation, thus the air is faintly fragrant with a hint of fruit."

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath!

Soon, she was sure that this person was not wrong, there indeed was a faint fruit fragrance in the air.

"Xiaobei, you seem pretty incredible!"

"Xiaobei?"

Hearing Fang Xiaoxiao's words, the middle-aged man looked up curiously, and instantly, his eyes widened...
