The commotion inside the carriage had already alerted Ma Dekuai, the driver.

At first, the playful fighting was fine; maybe the young master just liked that kind of thing. But later, crying could be heard coming from inside the carriage, and Ma De was about to lose his temper.

"Young Master, we're almost there."

Ma De shouted quickly.

He Yunxiao was driven to distraction by Xiaoxiao's crying.

Xiao Xiao is being unreasonable, and He Yunxiao still had the nerve to beat her up. Now that she's crying, what should he do?

Coax her? Absolutely not. Ignore her? That's not good either; she's Chuchu's sister after all. Beat her up again? Forget it, she's just a little girl.

Hearing Ma Dekuai's voice, He Yunxiao replied, "Slow down, if you can't walk any further, go explore somewhere else."

A "Okay!" came from outside the car.

After giving his instructions, He Yunxiao turned his gaze back to Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the floor.

"Xiaoxiao, that's enough, stop crying."

Xiao Xiao cried, "Mind your own business! I'm going to cry!"

"Hmph!" she said, kicking He Yunxiao's stomach with her delicate white feet in a fit of pique.

He Yunxiao was furious at her shameless behavior. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn't use any internal force or martial arts in this kick; it was just the strength of an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl.

Such force was negligible to He Yunxiao, so he kicked her without paying any attention to her.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, we're almost home," He Yunxiao coaxed her in a very perfunctory manner.

Xiao Xiao was extremely aggrieved.

It was clearly He Yunxiao who broke his promise from the beginning, so it was only right for me to teach him a lesson. But instead of teaching him a lesson, I ended up being taught a lesson myself.

There's no such thing as an unfair thing in the world!

But now, Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that He Yunxiao seemed to respond better to gentle persuasion than force.

Xiao Xiao pretended to rub her eyes with her little hands and made a whimpering sound. In reality, she kicked He Yunxiao twice more with her feet.

He Yunxiao said irritably, "That's enough, that's enough. We're almost home, you can go downstairs by yourself in a bit."

Xiao Xiao cried loudly!

Aaaaaah!

He Yunxiao covered his ears; he was going crazy.

"Xiaoxiao! What do you want? If you cry again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiao Xiao opened one eye, stole a glance at He Yunxiao, and then continued to cry! She even used her hands and feet to kick He Yunxiao every now and then.

He Yunxiao was so annoyed by her that he threatened, "Xiaoxiao, if you cry again, I'm going to hit you!"

Xiao Xiao ignored it and continued crying.

In Xiaoxiao's memory, she seemed to have never cried. Growing up in poverty, she was numb, never crying or making a fuss. Later, she was found by Chu Fan and they depended on each other for survival. Finally, she developed emotions, and she would always remember the kindness Chu Fan showed her during that time. (www.cascoo.net)

Having no treasures to repay Chu Fan, Xiao Xiao could only offer herself in marriage. This was Xiao Xiao's belief.

Now that she's met He Yunxiao, Xiaoxiao feels her emotions are much richer. Anger, joy, hatred, jealousy, envy, resentment... many things she couldn't experience with Chu Fan, He Yunxiao has given her. At this moment, surging tears, mixed with fragments of emotion, constantly nourish the girl's dry and unripe face.

The young heart, parched and withered, endured the entire scorching dry season, yearning desperately for a wet, torrential rain.

Even Chu Chu, who was previously unmoved by Chu Fan's advances, became much more lively under He Yunxiao's influence. She was no longer cold and fierce.

Despite the joy of tickling leading to tears of grievance and sadness, and the subsequent unrestrained venting, Xiao Xiao now felt a sliver of happiness amidst her sorrow.

The happiness of having emotions.

He Yunxiao was being kicked and shoved by Xiaoxiao, and he wanted to flip her over and give her a good beating on the backside. But right now, Xiaoxiao was just a crying girl, and He Yunxiao felt sorry for her and couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Xiaoxiao, don't cry. How about I buy you candy?"

Xiao Xiao stopped crying, but was still in the afterglow of her sobs, her delicate body occasionally twitching from choking back sobs.

"Go buy it now," she said without any politeness.

"Is this how you beg someone? I'm not buying it!" He Yunxiao said firmly.

Whether it's Xiao Xiao, the antidote girl, or other female leads who might appear in the future, He Yunxiao doesn't care. There are countless beauties in the world; it's impossible for them all to enter the He family's harem.

Besides, the current group is already top-notch enough, and even if others emerge, they won't surpass the current group. When it comes to natural charm, no one can compare to Meng Qingrou; when it comes to gentleness and plumpness, no one can compare to Jiang Wuyou; when it comes to dignified beauty, no one can compare to Fan Ziruo; when it comes to aloofness and pride, no one can compare to Du Yinyun.

And then there's Chu Chu, my Chu Chu... Chu Chu with a blush is the best in the world! No arguments allowed!

He Yunxiao is too busy taking care of her current aunts, let alone the others.

As long as I don't care about your bullshit favorability rating, what can the female lead do to me?

Get out of my way!

"Xiaoxiao, I, He Yunxiao, am not Chu Fan. We are not related and have a bit of a grudge. I will not tolerate you. If you have a temper, don't take it out on me."

Xiao Xiao stared at He Yunxiao, her lips turned down, and continued to cry!

If crying for 15 minutes doesn't solve the problem, then cry for 25 minutes!

Xiao Xiao's crying wasn't entirely feigned. She and Chu Chu had almost never cried in their lives, accumulating a vast ocean of negative emotions. She could cry for a long time over just one random thought.

For example, when she was traveling the world with Chu Fan, he suddenly got lost. Xiao Xiao searched for him without saying a word. Thinking about it now, she could have easily cried. But she doesn't know why she didn't cry back then.

He Yunxiao silently helped Xiaoxiao put on her socks and shoes, then squatted down next to her and watched her cry.
