Jiedi insisted on getting on the bus, so Baogen jumped off and whispered a few words to her. Only then did Jiedi realize what was going on.
Jiedi suddenly changed her mind and said, "Yes, yes, the sheep we gave to Qiqi hasn't been fed yet. Let's go feed the sheep!"
After saying that, she left with her sisters. Xu Lanzhi seemed not to have noticed the little incident and went straight back to her house.
In reality, she was not as calm as she appeared; she saw right through the children's little tricks.
However, Liu Rufeng is a good kid; no wonder Yindi protected him so much back then.
Yindi got into the car and sat down opposite Liu Rufeng.
Bao Gen said in his voice, "Mr. Liu, Sister Yindi, please be on your feet, we're about to set off." He then thoughtfully pulled down the carriage curtain.
Yindi asked impatiently, "Mr. Liu, what did my mother say to you? I said some very unpleasant things to her before, and my mother is angry with me. She was just saying it in anger, so please don't take it to heart. My mother is actually a very good person."
Liu Rufeng also said, "Yes, your mother is an excellent person. She is the gentlest yet most resilient mother I have ever met. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful mother!"
Yindi chimed in, "My mother is a good person. She used to be very open-minded. It's just that my eldest sister had a bad experience with a man and suffered a great blow, so my mother is a bit paranoid and doesn't trust anyone!"
Liu Rufeng suddenly said, "Your mother said that I can go to Tang's place to help out often if I want to!"
Yindi was a little confused. She asked with some doubt, "Are you telling the truth? Then my mother agrees to our relationship!"
Liu Rufeng frankly said, "I guess so, but she gave me some instructions!"
"What did my mother say? Did she make things difficult for you?" Yindi asked curiously.
Liu Rufeng mustered his courage and patted Yindi's hand, saying, "Relax. You know your mother is a very good person. Why would she make things difficult for me? She just wants me to treat you well, otherwise..."
Yindi asked curiously, "Otherwise what?"

Liu Rufeng, however, kept it a secret: "You don't need to know that, because I know that day will never come."
Liu Rufeng's hand remained lightly resting on Yindi's hand. Because Yindi did not pull her hand away, he became bolder and gently grasped Yindi's slender hand.
The girl's soft and delicate touch stirred his heart; it felt so good.
Yindi was a little nervous and tried to pull her hand away, but Liu Rufeng held her fingers tightly and looked at her affectionately.
Yindi stopped struggling, and Liu Rufeng's rough yet warm hands made her heart flutter.
But at this moment, she couldn't fully enjoy this thrill; her mind was filled with the image of her mother.
It's so hard for my mother to support this family all by herself, and I even said such hurtful things to her.
Yindi thought her mother would never forgive her, but she still granted her wish to be with Liu Rufeng. Despite her many acts of rebellion, her mother still protected her in her own way.
Yindi felt very sad as she thought about it. Compared to her mother, she was so selfish.
Seeing that Yindi was hanging her head and looked very down, Liu Rufeng quickly let go of her hand and asked gently, "Was it because I was holding your hand that I made you uncomfortable?"
Yindi shook her head, dejected, and said, "I feel like I'm such a terrible person. What I said to Mother before was just too much!"
Liu Rufeng coaxed gently, "Go back and have a good talk with your mother. Do you know how wonderful it is to still have your mother looking after you!" As he said this, some people actually became a little sad!
Yindi nodded solemnly, wishing she could rush into Xu Lanzhi's arms right now and confess to her.
Baogen had no idea what Yindi was thinking. He just wanted to do a good deed and let the two people in the carriage stay a little longer, so he drove the carriage very slowly, and Yindi was too embarrassed to urge him.
Liu Rufeng knew that Yindi was absent-minded at the moment, so he didn't force her to speak. He held Yindi's hand again and said, "Alright, don't be sad. We'll be even more filial to her from now on!"
Yindi then raised her head and nodded solemnly.
Liu Rufeng then said, "Yindi, although your mother has agreed to our relationship, I would like to propose to you later."
Yindi wasn't in a hurry to propose marriage, since her eldest sister Zhaodi hadn't even started talking about marriage yet, and she couldn't rush things.
However, the man took the initiative to suggest not proposing marriage beforehand, which made Yindi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She tilted her head back and said with a hint of mockery, "What, Mr. Liu, are you already preparing for your escape route? Are you worried that my mother will punish you?"
Liu Rufeng laughed: "Silly girl, what are you thinking? I'm not leaving myself a way out, I'm leaving you a way out!"
You are only fifteen years old, yet you are already the manager of four shops. Given time, who knows what kind of achievements you will make?
By then, you'll meet many more people, many more people more outstanding than me. I'll just be a teacher for the rest of my life; I don't want to tie you down so early!
Yindi was completely focused on Liu Rufeng and couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind his words. She retorted, "Are all you scholars so good at talking? Do you lack confidence in me or in yourself?"
Liu Rufeng suddenly realized something and remembered what Sun Zhiyuan had taught him: "Never try to reason with a woman, or you'll suffer a terrible fate."
He took Yindi's hands, clasped them together, smiled, and said, "You little rascal, what's going on in your head? I have a lot of confidence in both of us. I just want you to grow up a little more."
Yindi then cheered up and said, "That's more like it, but you don't need to come to the shop every day. Once this event is over, there won't be as many people. You can focus on your studies!"
Liu Rufeng said affectionately, "Of course I have to focus on teaching, and I also have to think of ways to teach better, otherwise the gap between me and our Manager Tang is too big, how can I be worthy of you?"
I'll still come after school tonight. Ever since I got angry, I've truly understood what it means to feel like three autumns have passed if we don't see each other for a day!
Yindi was extremely embarrassed by what he said. She pulled her hand back, slapped Liu Rufeng a few times, and scolded him, "I always thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be such a smooth talker. What are you saying? Baogen is out there having fun. Aren't you ashamed?"

Liu Rufeng grabbed Yindi's hand and whispered, "Knowing that Baogen is outside, why don't you stop? With all this commotion, what will he think we're doing?"
Yindi blushed, her ears turning red with embarrassment. Worried that Baogen might have misunderstood, she could only mutter under her breath, "Liu Rufeng, you've gone too far! I misjudged you!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit him again, but coincidentally the carriage ran over a stone, causing it to lurch and Yindi to fall head over heels into Liu Rufeng's arms.
