Chapter Ninety-Four: Picking Flowers

  After the blessing ceremony ended, Ye Pingyu stayed in Ping Yuan's room. Ping Yuan smiled and said: "Xiao Ye, Ruxue has arrived at Qingyun, did she call you?"

  Ye Pingyu hastily said: "I was going to come by myself after receiving a phone call, but Secretary Zhu wanted to bring me along to see you, so we came together."

  Pingyuan Chao said: "You go directly to the Tao Ran Hotel to find her, I'll be there tonight!"

  He Pingyuan didn't say much to him and had the people in the office send him to the Tao Ran Hotel. He Pingyuan didn't tell anyone about this, not even Zhu Zishen, for fear that others would know his daughter had arrived.

  Ye Pingyu arrived at the Grand Hotel, got off the car and let the municipal office's car go back, then walked into the hotel to contact Ping Ruxue, after contacting her, he directly came to Ping Ruxue's resting room.

  As soon as Ye Pingyu saw Ping Ruxue, he was surprised by her outfit today, which made her look extremely elegant and charming. A simple yet elegant top coat that fit perfectly on her body, a blue jeans that showed off her slender legs, her hair lightly tied up and scattered over her shoulders, with eyebrows like a painted beauty, smiling in front of him.

  "Flat, flat snow, have you just arrived?" As soon as he saw her stunning beauty, Ye Pingyu stuttered and said.

  Ping Ru Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "Ye Ping Yu, you see I'm still nervous?"

  Ye Pingyu awkwardly smiled and said: "Also, also not, I didn't think you would really come to Qingyun!"

  "Hehe! Still stuttering, can I not keep the promise I made to you?" Ping Ruxue smiled charmingly and then welcomed Ye Pingyu into the house.

  As they walked into the room, Ye Pingyu sat down with her and asked after a moment of thought, "Did you come here by yourself?"

  Ping Ru Xue smiled and said: "Yes, Mei Hui didn't have time to come over. Otherwise, I might have had her accompany me here!"

  When he heard the mention of that woman last time, Ye Pingyu asked, "What does she do? She looks like she should be older than you."

  "He's a big entrepreneur, I'm good friends with her, and she's actually pretty nice."

  When Mu Mei Hui's father was a big entrepreneur, her family must have been rich. Ye Ping Yu thought for a moment and didn't say anything about it. Ping Ru Xue then asked: "Are you still working in the countryside?"

  Ye Pingyu immediately said: "I just left the town and now work in the county. I just met with Secretary Ping, and he asked me to come find you!"

  Ping Ruxue immediately laughed and asked: "Are you reporting work to him?"

  Ye Pingyu hastily smiled and said: "I don't have the qualifications to report work to Secretary Ping, I came with our county party secretary, Secretary Ping saw an article I wrote and called me and our county party secretary over together to ask about the situation."

  "Did your dad see the article you wrote? Does he appreciate it?" Ping Ruxue asked with wide eyes.

  Looking at her beautiful big eyes, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "I don't know about this either. Anyway, he asked us to come, so we came. As for whether I appreciate it or not, I don't know."

  "Hehe, that must be the case, otherwise why would he call you over? Could it be because of me..." Just as she said this, Ping Xue's face suddenly turned red and she didn't continue speaking.

  Ye Pingyu asked instead: "Because of what?"

  "Nothing, nothing," Ping Ru Xue hurriedly made a gesture to cover up her smile and said, "I was just overthinking."

  Looking at Ping Yu's appearance, Ye Pingyu couldn't think of anything for a while, so he stopped asking and the two just sat there chatting.

  After chatting for a while, Ping Xue suddenly blushed and said: "Ping Yu, you saved me, then your surname is Ye, my mother's surname is also Ye, I'm surnamed Ping, and there's another 'Ping' in your name. Do you think we really have fate?"

  Suddenly hearing her say this, Ye Pingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he stuttered: "This... I feel that we are also fated, sometimes things in the world are really predetermined by fate, and you can't escape even if you want to, don't you think?"

  "What you said is so right, life is actually just a fate, and with dad and mom, it's also a kind of fate that they brought us to this world, isn't it?" Ping Ruxue blushed for a moment before returning to normal, smiling at Ye Pingyu.

  Ye Pingyu locked eyes with her for a moment, and although he felt that some things might just be an illusion, they were now reality. Ping Ruxue's words clearly expressed the feelings between men and women. If he pretended to be clueless, not only would he hurt her feelings, but he would also lose himself. Ever since leaving the capital last time, Ping Ruxue's shadow had been lingering in his heart. Although Feng Xiyao had given him this feeling at first, now he felt that his feelings for her were just like those towards a younger sister. It was Ping Ruxue who truly made his heart flutter and unable to extricate himself.

  "Rouxue, shall we go out for a walk?" Rouxue met his gaze with no intention of backing down, her eyes filled with a fiery passion. Yeping Yu dared not continue to exchange gazes with her and suggested going out for a stroll instead.

  Ping Ru Xue immediately stood up excitedly and said: "Great! Let's take a look at the scenery on your side!"

  Ye Pingyu took her out of the room, and in that instant, he unconsciously stretched out a hand. Ping Ruxue didn't think twice before grabbing onto it, their two young hands clasped together.

  Ye Pingyu's heart was racing, but he didn't turn around to look at her. He just kept pulling her along as they walked. Ping Ruxue smiled and saw his hurried appearance, so she quickly called out: "Ye Pingyu, slow down a bit!"

  Ye Pingyu hastily stopped in his tracks, wanting to let go of Ping Ruxue's hand, but found that he couldn't, as Ping Ruxue was holding on tightly, and they were walking together.

  "Hey Ping Yu, what's fun around here?" asked Ping Ruxue as she walked along happily.

  Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and said, "Ruxue, although I am a Qingyun person, I don't live in this place. I'm not very familiar with this place either, nor do I know where the fun places are. However, there is a big river nearby, we might as well go take a look."

  "That's great, let's go." Ping Ruxue said with delight.

  Two people walked together to the riverbank, which had not been developed yet and was rarely visited by people. There were some thickets of grass there. After arriving at the riverbank, they sat in the thickets watching the ducks swimming and jumping in the water.

  The ducks were playing in the water, which made Ping Ruxue, who had never experienced rural life since childhood, feel very playful. "The scenery here is really beautiful!" Ping Ruxue couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Haha! Our countryside is all like this." Ye Pingyu laughed and said.

  "Does your family have a river too?" Ping Ruxue asked, tilting her head and looking at Ye Pingyu.

  "We have rivers too, but none as big as this one. We also have mountains. With both mountains and water, isn't it more beautiful?" Ye Pingyu said with a smile to her.

  "Really? Then I'll go take a look." Ping Ruxue said with a smile.

  "Do you want to go to my home?" Ye Pingyu asked with wide eyes.

  "What? No way!" Ping Ru Xue glared at him.

  "It's possible, but..." Ye Pingyu trailed off.

  Ping Ru Xue directly said: "I want to know what your hometown is like when you were a child, and I also want to meet your dad and mom!"

  "This... my dad and mom are uncultured people, I think it's better if you don't meet them!" Ye Pingyu thought that if his parents met Ping Ruxue, they would definitely ask what was going on, and he didn't know how to explain.

  "Ye Pingyu, my grandfather was also an uncultured person when he conquered the world, you can't look down on uncultured people!" Ping Ruxue said with some criticism as she saw Ye Pingyu worrying about her meeting his parents.

  "Haha, your grandfather is so fierce!" Ye Pingyu asked with an embarrassed smile.

  "He's tough, but he always says he's a farmer and teaches me not to forget my roots. Without farmers, how can this world be at peace?" Ping Ruxue said seriously.

  After hearing her words, Ye Pingyu finally knew about her background. Her grandfather was a man who had fought his way to the top, what kind of qualifications did he have? Although they were once farmers, but their own grandfathers were struggling at home to make a living for the family, while others' grandfathers were bloody battlefields, occupation determines one's fate in life, it seems that what was said is really not bad.

  Ye Pingyu didn't want to say any more, looked at him, and Ping Ruxue thought for a moment before asking: "Pingyu, I gave you that watch last time, why aren't you wearing it?"

  Ye Pingyu immediately said: "I'll keep it safe, the gift you gave me is too valuable, I don't even dare to wear it out!"

  Ping Ru Xue smiled and said: "What's so precious about it? It's just a few hundred thousand yuan."

  "Tens of thousands... is that all?" Ye Pingyu was taken aback, he had thought that the watch would be at most a few thousand yuan, already very valuable, but unexpectedly it was worth tens of thousands of yuan.

  "What? Don't you believe me? I won't give you a cheap watch!" Ping Xue said with a smile, not understanding his meaning.

  "No, no, I believe it's really too valuable, I have no way to return such a valuable gift." Ye Pingyu hurriedly waved his hand and said.

  "Who told you to give me a gift? If you want to give me a gift, just use the flowers and grass here to make a fresh flower that I can wear on my head!" Ping Ruxue said suddenly.

  "Pick flowers?" Ye Pingyu looked at the grass beside him, after the Spring Festival, some wildflowers began to grow out, but he didn't have any flower-picking skills, what to do?

  But as soon as he heard Ping Yuxue say that, he couldn't say no, so he thought of his sister's hair-braiding style and braided flowers for Ping Yuxue.

  Ping Ruxue sat beside him, watching as he made the flower arrangement. Ye Pingyu felt like he was all thumbs, and after a long time, he finally managed to create something that looked very unimpressive. Then he said to Ping Ruxue: "Done, isn't it pretty?"
