I don't want you to be looked down upon.

Fortunately, He Li couldn't hear her thoughts.

If he knew Miao Xiaoyu's thoughts... he'd probably be dumbfounded by her.

Was Wu Gang's 'bringing the whole family along' earlier the main point?

Certainly not; the main point was, how did the child come about?

But Miao Xiaoyu's focus was clearly misplaced.

He Li didn't continue the topic either; he just glared at Wu Gang, telling the guy not to talk nonsense.

Wu Gang felt quite wronged; he was also thinking about He Li's reputation by making him pay attention, so why was He Li glaring at him? Miao Xiaoyu also glared at him like that; did they plan it together?

Wu Gang scratched the back of his head, pondering.

Zhou Qingming, however, didn't dare to speak up next to them.

Ever since Miao Xiaoyu actively kissed He Li... he had been sitting there, not speaking again.

It wasn't that he had nothing to say; on the contrary, he instantly thought of too many things and couldn't speak, but what shocked him most was Miao Xiaoyu's attitude towards He Li.

Miao Xiaoyu was too proactive, which gave him the feeling that Miao Xiaoyu and He Li getting together wasn't He Li pursuing Miao Xiaoyu... but rather, Miao Xiaoyu pursuing He Li?

Did this mean she had decided on He Li?

The kind where even the King of Heaven coming down wouldn't change anything?

“This is a Miao Family son-in-law as stable as Mount Tai!”

Zhou Qingming felt both emotional and envious.

“Why isn't there a top wealthy family's young lady chasing me?”

“I'm not bad either, am I?” He thought, then looked at He Li.

Hmm, he's indeed not bad; he's just a bit more handsome than me... Oh, and his learning ability might be a bit stronger than mine.

Perhaps he's also more devoted and gentle towards girls?

After all, he heard that He Li once pursued a girl for three years... “It's just this small difference; the gap isn't actually that big.”

“Wealthy young ladies, look at me; I don't want to work hard anymore...”

Zhou Qingming shouted in his heart, but he still had to eat.

Perhaps it was because He Li and Miao Xiaoyu were too dazzling.

They kept showing their affection, causing everyone else to eat the delicious food on the table as if chewing wax. Finally, this meal, which lasted over an hour, ended under the dim sky.

Originally, Zhou Qingming wanted to drive He Li back.

However, He Li refused, and considering that Wei Wei and the others lived far from there, he asked Zhou Qingming to drive them instead.

Zhou Qingming didn't feel disappointed.

Anyway, Wei Wei is also a great beauty.

He was quite happy to drive a beauty home.

He even wondered if he should pursue Wei Wei!

Because Wei Wei was his type.

However, the falling blossoms had intentions, but the flowing water was heartless... Wei Wei had no good feelings for a Second-generation rich like him... “Then I'll be going first!” At the entrance of Guanghui Hotel, after Zhou Qingming saw Wei Wei and the others leave, Wu Gang also took a taxi home. He Li watched him drive away, then turned to look at Miao Xiaoyu beside him.

The latter, holding He Li's arm, smiled and said, “It's still early; why don't we stroll around a bit before going back?”

“Okay!” He Li nodded in agreement.

The City Center under the night sky was still bustling.

It was lit up everywhere with a constant flow of people, and the streets on both sides were full of night market vendors.

Miao Xiaoyu pulled He Li, looking left and right, strolling around.

This young lady of a wealthy family was quite curious about things at the grassroots level.

She even looked very happy at small toys costing a few yuan!

He Li was also very happy to accompany her on this stroll.

Watching Miao Xiaoyu skipping around happily beside him, his mood also improved by several points!

The two talked, laughed, walked, and stopped. Unknowingly, Miao Xiaoyu pulled He Li to the entrance of a clothing mall. He Li looked up and then suddenly realized something was amiss.

He put his arm around Miao Xiaoyu and pinched her little face... “Did you intentionally bring me here?”

He asked with a smile, and Miao Xiaoyu's eyes darted away.

“No... no, don't talk nonsense!”

She pouted, denying it. Seeing this, He Li didn't press further but just embraced her slender waist and leaned in.

His face was very close to Miao Xiaoyu's. Miao Xiaoyu could even feel the warm breath coming from He Li. She said softly, with some panic and shyness, “W-what are you doing?”

“Here... there are so many people watching...”

She looked left and right, then hastily lowered her head.

He Li responded with a smile, “Panicking now?”

“Then why don't you quickly confess what you wanted to do?”

“I...” Miao Xiaoyu said timidly, “I... I wanted to bring you here to buy you some clothes!”

He Li heard this, and there was no surprise on his face.

He just gently lifted Miao Xiaoyu's small chin.

Looking at her face, flushed with shyness, he gently asked, “Why did you suddenly think of buying me clothes?”

“I... I thought of it this morning!”

Listening to He Li's voice, Miao Xiaoyu inexplicably relaxed a lot.

He Li's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion when he heard her words.

He had already guessed what Miao Xiaoyu was thinking.

Rubbing her head, He Li said helplessly, “You don't have much pocket money, and you spent a lot buying me that handheld computer last time. You haven't even bought yourself new clothes, so why are you rushing to buy them for me?”

“It's not that I don't have branded clothes; I'm just too lazy to wear them.”

“After all, I don't care about clothes!”

“As for what others think, that's their business.”

“As long as one is strong enough, that's what matters. Look, won't Zhang Yuhan and the others still come to curry favor with us later?”

As he said this, the smile on his face grew wider.

“That Zhang Yuhan probably thinks I have a strong background.”

“I have to thank my little girlfriend for this; otherwise, how could I have such great prestige to make such an arrogant person bow their head?” Saying this, he couldn't help but dotingly poked her little face.

Touching her cheek, Miao Xiaoyu beamed.

But she also pouted and retorted, “I have lots of pocket money!”

“Anyway... anyway, it's enough to buy you clothes!”

“And, I'm your girlfriend!”

“Isn't it my duty to buy clothes for my boyfriend?”

“You don't even have clothes that I bought for you yet.”

“So don't say anything else; we must buy them!”

Her tone was firm. After that, she whispered, “Besides, I don't want you to be looked down upon by others in the future. You are my boyfriend, and I hope that in the future, others can only look up to you, not down!”

Hearing her words, He Li felt warmth in his heart.

“Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, okay?”

“Don't pout anymore; it won't look good if you keep pouting!”

“Hehe~” Miao Xiaoyu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

Seeing this, He Li's eyes darted around, and he smiled, “Since we're buying clothes, I'll also buy a few for my girlfriend, and then a set of couple's outfits so that people won't always be attracted by your boyfriend's handsomeness!”

“So narcissistic!” Miao Xiaoyu smiled and rolled her adorable eyes.

He Li pretended to be angry, “Hmm? You dare to talk back to me?”

“Hmph hmph, let's see how I deal with you!”

As he spoke, the hand around Miao Xiaoyu's waist tickled her.

Miao Xiaoyu immediately burst out laughing, “Oh dear!”

“Don't be like that, you're annoying!”

“Annoying? No, you have to like it.”

“I remember you still have nine times left to tell me you like me.”

“Now I want to hear it, use one up, quickly say it!”

“Ah? N-now?”

“Yes, I want to hear it, say it!”

“Then... I... I really like you!”

“Hehehe, use up another one, say it again!”

“He Li... I... I really like you!”

“I'm not saying it anymore, you're bullying me, hmph!”

...In the mall, the two spoke sometimes lovingly, sometimes playfully, and the sweet and warm atmosphere infected everyone who passed by. Everyone looked at the loving couple with seemingly sour eyes.

Some even had eyes full of resentment!

They're too much, spreading dog food late at night.

Now they won't be able to sleep all night!

Darn it, it's simply too infuriating!

How can there be such malicious couples in this world?

Don't they know that protecting single people is everyone's responsibility?
