In the days that followed, the peace process was brought back to square one due to the emergence of an internal mole. Officials from both countries continued their war of words, and the proposals oscillated back and forth, resulting in slow progress.
Du Yinyun, following the original plan, methodically investigated the market and expanded the investment scope of the Orchid Bank.
Li Xiangjun, in cooperation with He Yunxiao and Ruobao, conducted an internal investigation into the officials under her command responsible for peace negotiations, attempting to uncover the mole.
Nan Zhu's wife is Du's assistant. With her around, Du Yinyun's business dealings often go much more smoothly.
Sister Jiang is still Ruobao's good sister. Sometimes when the Jiang family comes to her door, Ruobao has to be her shield.
As for Fei Bao, who is independent of the other female characters, she is quite fortunate.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, He Yunxiao, who was sleeping on the outer side of the bed, groggily opened his eyes.
The first thing He Yunxiao did after waking up was to get out of bed and open the window for ventilation.
Poor ventilation is really not an option.
Fei Bao's constitution is like this; the more she sweats, the stronger her body odor becomes.
After she had been sweating all night, the room smelled like a sea of flowers.
If he didn't quickly dissipate the scent, He Yunxiao wouldn't be able to explain himself to the other female leads. To cover up Fei Bao's fragrance, He Yunxiao even specially commissioned a sachet with a scent similar to Fei Bao's as a disguise.
After opening the window, He Yunxiao tidied up the room on his own initiative.
In the past, Fei Bao would often be woken up by his movements at this time. After all, a Grandmaster-level martial artist has good hearing and is a light sleeper, which is normal.
But ever since He Yunxiao made Fei Bao a complete "fox spirit" with a full beard and tail, Fei Bao has been unable to get up in the morning.
The grandmaster who once had the power to fight back against the Soul-Devouring Pill has now become a helpless little girl, completely at the mercy of others. When facing He Yunxiao again, she was utterly powerless to resist.
Even the "five chances" she had always wanted to take and then give up, she pretended to forget about after becoming a "vixen" and never mentioned it again.
This behavior is exactly the same as Mengbao's back then.
Mengbao was hesitant at first, but after it happened so many times, she got hooked and gave up, eventually agreeing with He Yunxiao. Anyway, it's happened so many times, a few more times wouldn't matter.
Fei Bao is the same.
Since they're all her Soul-Devouring Pills anyway, what's wrong with using them?
...
Besides pushing for peace talks and spending time with the female leads, He Yunxiao also had another very important task: to speak with Chu Chu.
Chu Chu had a falling out with He Yunxiao a few days ago because of Xiao Xiao's matter, and has been ignoring him for several days.
He Yunxiao wasn't stupid. Chu Chu might ignore him, but if he really didn't go to find Chu Chu, then he would be completely ungrateful.
So, these past few days, He Yunxiao has been spending all his free time at Xiaoxiao's place.
They do nothing else but buy delicious food, fun things, useful things, and useless things, and put them in the house. Then they tell stories, never forgetting to lick the little feet of the Heavenly Venerable.
It turns out that being a "simp" for a girl you like does work.
According to Xiaoxiao, an informant, just yesterday, Chuchu agreed to go out for a walk after He Yunxiao left.
Although it was just to see what He Yunxiao bought for her, it was still a milestone moment.
He Yunxiao went to Xiaoxiao's room again.
After passing on his skills to Xiaoxiao by holding her hand, he immediately started calling Chuchu's name in a sickeningly sweet way.
"Chuchu~"
Xiao Xiao blinked her big eyes, and her lack of response told He Yunxiao that there was no movement from Chu Chu's side.
He Yunxiao decided to escalate the situation. Although he hadn't yet received the Celestial Venerable's first kiss, it was only a matter of time before the Celestial Venerable became "Chu Bao." How could she possibly escape now?
"Chu Bao~"
Although she wasn't "Xiao Bao," Xiao Xiao still blushed deeply.
She was a teenager, and it was incredibly embarrassing for He Yunxiao to call her "baby"! But it was also quite exciting.
Even Xiaoxiao was like this, so the usually aloof Chuchu couldn't hold back any longer.
Chu Chu: Tell him to shut up.
Xiao Xiao: !
Chu Chu, you can talk now?
Chu Chu: Three.
Xiaoxiao: Chuchu, wait a minute...
Chu Chu: Two.
Xiaoxiao: Let me explain... that's not what I meant...
Chu Chu: One.
Xiao Xiao said without hesitation, "He Yunxiao, Chu Chu told you to shut up."
He Yunxiao: !
"Chuchu! Chuchu, can you hear me?" He Yunxiao exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Xiao blinked. Without her saying a word, He Yunxiao knew that Chu Chu was silent again. However, this wasn't entirely fruitless; at least it showed that Chu Chu was still listening to him.
He Yunxiao thought for a moment and then began to tell the story of him and Xiaoxiao.
He recounted everything to Chu Chu, from how he met Xiao Xiao, to her ambiguous feelings for him, to her taking the initiative, and now to how things are.
Chu Chu did not respond, but He Yunxiao continued talking.
"Chuchu, to be honest, I initially cared about Xiaoxiao because of you. Later, I cared about you a little more than I cared about Xiaoxiao."
Even though He Yunxiao said that, Xiaoxiao's eyes were still sparkling when she looked at him.
For Xiaoxiao, it didn't matter that He Yunxiao loved her less than Chuchu; even a little bit was enough for her.
"Chuchu, I like you a lot, I like you so much, you are the most beautiful girl in my heart. But if I had to choose between you and Xiaoxiao, I couldn't do it. I like you, and I like Xiaoxiao, and I don't want to lose either of them."
"Do you mean I'm making things difficult for you?"
Upon hearing this, He Yunxiao's eyes widened instantly. He could clearly see that the young girl who had just been holding hands had transformed into the very person he knew best—the domineering Chu Chu!
"neat!"
