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

Chapter 128 Hurry up and pay!

While eating elegantly, He Jing calmly said, "Don't eat too much, try other delicious things too."

The implication is that he ate just the right amount of the remaining half of the Ruyi cake.

He Jing was still savoring the taste of the Ruyi Cake from earlier.

It has a soft yet chewy texture, and when you chew it slowly, you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus and sesame in your mouth. The sweet and fragrant taste can really lift your spirits.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Xiaoxiao's moist, full red lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

When the two were sheltering from the rain in the mountains... he almost kissed her on his own initiative.

Thinking about it now... it's a bit of a pity.

Ye Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, heard He Jing's thoughts. It turned out that the two of them had both thought of that time in the forest.

Her heart was pounding, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Ah Jing, let's hurry up and go to Wuji Hall first. It will definitely be lively tomorrow. Let's bring Mother and the others out for a good stroll."

......

In the backyard of Wuji Hall, there is a small kitchen that is rarely used, except when processing certain special medicinal materials.

For the first time, what wafted out of the small kitchen was not the smell of medicine, but a mouthwatering aroma.

Manager Yan stopped what he was doing in front of a row of medicine cabinets, looked at Bai Qing who was standing to the side fiddling with an abacus, and sighed slightly, saying, "Bai Qing, if you ever have this skill, then I'll be able to enjoy life!"

Bai Qing: "Shopkeeper, if I had this skill, I wouldn't be an apprentice in a pharmacy now, but a head chef in a restaurant."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and thought it was quite amusing for the two of them to bicker occasionally.

After seeing the last patient and writing the prescription, she stood up and stretched.

"Shopkeeper, you won't mind if I set up a small stall at the entrance, will you?"

"Xiao Xiao, what kind of talk is that? Do you think I'm an outsider?" Manager Yan stroked his beard, feigning anger.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony with him. She took out the sachet embroidered by Mother He, walked to the counter and said, "Bai Qing, please get some medicine for me according to this order. I'll put it in the sachet. You calculate how much silver it will cost, and I'll give it to you later."

Manager Yan frowned: "No need for money. Talking about money would only hurt our feelings, right?"

"Manager Yan, let's keep things separate. I'm here to buy medicinal herbs."

"Alright, alright! Take it, take it. I'm a businessman now." Manager Yan knew that Ye Xiaoxiao could be stubborn at times, so he didn't argue with her.

Bai Qing weighed out the medicines one by one using a small tray, while Ye Xiaoxiao put the medicines into a sachet.

With nothing else to do, Manager Yan's gossipy nature began to stir again.

"Xiao Xiao, how did you and your husband meet? You're quite good at choosing a husband! Look at him, cooking and cleaning, hunting in the mountains, and he listens to you completely. You can't find a man like that even with a lantern these days, but you've found one."

Ye Xiaoxiao did not answer Manager Yan's question. The beginning of the story... how to put it... thrilling? fantastical? She couldn't quite say.

Anyway, she is very lucky. Fate gave her a second chance, probably so that she could find happiness and enjoy being cared for and loved.

"Manager Yan, it's my greatest honor to have met you all. I won't say much more in thanks, just eat more later!"

After packing the Chinese medicine, Ye Xiaoxiao set up a small table outside the door and neatly arranged the sachets one by one.

All the sachets are divided into several categories, using different formulas, such as those for calming the nerves, repelling mosquitoes, regulating the spleen and stomach, preventing heatstroke, and removing dampness.

She had just put the sachet down when Qian Ruoyun and her brother arrived.

"Xiao Xiao! What are you doing? Wow—these sachets are so pretty! I love them!"

Qian Ruoyun picked up a flower and bird embroidery, admiring it dearly. She held it to her nose and smelled it, a hint of surprise flashing across her round face. She exclaimed, "It smells so good! Xiao Xiao, I want this one."

Seeing that she liked it, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "Then I'll give it to you!"

Qian Ruoyun refused, knowing that these sachets must have been embroidered by Xiao Xiao's mother-in-law.

She and Xiao Xiao met at a small fabric shop.

Thinking about this, she felt it was necessary to buy a few more, after all, this was where her and Xiao Xiao's fate began.

"Brother, I'll buy one for our parents and one for you. Hurry up and pay!"
