A middle finger symbolizes disdain.

But Liu Zixuan's gesture wasn't over. He clenched his fist and then wiggled his little finger at Hao Shuai.

Hao Shuai felt a bit dazed, almost stumbling off the carriage.

After sitting for a while, he calmed his unsatisfied anger and shouted at Liu Zixuan, "Don't gloat, I said that what's between us has only just begun."

"Then consider today as a little appetizer for you!" Liu Zixuan smirked, knowing that Hao Shuai originally intended to say that to him.

What Hao Shuai didn't expect was that the villagers both accepted his benefits and deceived him.

All of them stood by Liu Zixuan's side!

Hao Shuai, exceptionally smug, drove over with gifts and ended up returning to the hospital in shame.

He originally thought it would be an auspicious start, but didn't anticipate such an abrupt end.

On the other hand, Liu Zixuan's side was abuzz with festivities. Firecrackers were going off, and hordes of villagers came out to join in the grand opening of the clinic, and to celebrate the opening of the road between Lingxiu Village and Yuqing Town!

Afterward, Liu Zixuan said to the villagers, "Everyone, come over to Sister Lian's house after dinner this evening. I want to share some good news!"

"Is it about matters concerning our village?"

"Liu Handsome, are we really going to build a factory!"

Liu Zixuan listened to the chatting female villagers and laughed, "It's a secret for now, but it's definitely good news. Remember to come tonight. Also... bring your own chairs and tea."

With laughter and chit-chat, everyone gradually dispersed.

Meanwhile, Huang Youcai specially invited Liu Mazi and other construction workers to the town for a treat.

He originally wanted to invite Liu Zixuan, but Liu Zixuan didn't go, as he had other things to do.

The current situation in the village was very promising. With the road problem solved, he also had the clinic. Next, it was all about earning money with the villagers together.

Earning money isn't something that can be achieved with a few words; it requires a lot of preparation, so Liu Zixuan was now racing against time.

There's no other reason. His opponent, Hao Shuai, was the eldest son of the Hao family from the city.

Although things seemed calm on the surface, Liu Zixuan knew that what needed to be done would need to be done sooner or later.

Despite the fact that Hao Shuai doesn't even have the capital to compete with Liu Zixuan for Liu Ruyan!

"Where are you going?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"I'm heading to the clinic, you all go back. Don't bother me this afternoon, and don't look for me. I have some things to think about." Liu Zixuan said this and directly went to the new clinic.

The clinic construction was arguably considered the best in the town, differing slightly from what was initially thought. It has three floors, and also counts as the tallest building in the village.

The first floor is the consultation hall, reception hall.

The second floor has small wards, and resting areas.

The third floor has an entertainment room and two guest rooms.

Liu Zixuan went straight to the third floor, shut himself in a room, and started pondering.

...

Time passed by the minute, and soon it was dinner time in the afternoon.

Looking at the floor covered in cigarette butts, Liu Zixuan laughed helplessly, "This job is really mentally exhausting. If only someone could help me take care of these matters."

Liu Zixuan certainly could figure out the matters of factory management if he wanted to ponder over them.

But he's a person who doesn't like trouble, to put it bluntly, he's lazy.

So he's thinking about finding someone akin to a talented female CEO to help him out.

After thinking and thinking, he couldn't find someone suitable; it seems he'll have to rely on fate.

After tidying up simply, he returned to Sister Lian's house.

After dining with them, he began waiting for the villagers to arrive.

Liu Ruyan sat next to him, resting her chin in her hand and asked, "You disappeared the whole afternoon, what were you doing?"

"I was thinking about how to sleep in the same room with you!"

Liu Zixuan displayed an expression of deep contemplation and murmured, "Thought about it all afternoon, and really didn't come up with anything."

"Shameless."

Liu Ruyan gave him a sidelong glance, "I'm asking about serious matters!"

"I'm also talking about serious matters."

Liu Zixuan stated seriously, "Getting married and having kids is the foremost event in life, who would joke about that."

"You!"

Alright, I'm left speechless.

Liu Ruyan helplessly spread her hands and lazily stretched a bit.

With summer here, she was dressed quite lightly.

And since it was evening, Liu Ruyan had changed into cool shorts, paired with a black tank top.

The whole ensemble made her look refreshingly cool.

But this also gave Liu Zixuan a visual feast.

Her slender beautiful legs appeared even straighter when she stretched, with no extra flesh on her rounded calves.

The white skin exposed beside the tank top, and that deep cleavage were even more tantalizing.

Liu Zixuan couldn't help but look at those fair long legs and murmur, "Such perfect legs!"

"Indeed."

Liu Ruyan moved slightly, clearly quite satisfied herself.

She lifted her head and teasingly asked, "Are my legs white?"

"White!"

"Do they look good?"

"They look good!"

"Don't you want to touch them with your own hands?"

"Of course I do!"

Saying this, Liu Zixuan reached out his hand.

But Liu Ruyan immediately dodged, "But I won't let you touch!"

"Damn!" Liu Zixuan immediately cursed, "Liu Ruyan, you're stirring up trouble!"

"Who told you to be talking nonsense earlier." Liu Ruyan gave him another sidelong glance.

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Actually, I was just thinking about the village's affairs. It's such a crucial time right now; I need to consider things carefully and help relieve some of your burden."

"You're being so good to me. Do you have any ulterior motives?" Liu Ruyan asked with a half-smile.

Liu Zixuan's hand naturally landed on Liu Ruyan's pretty legs, stroking them back and forth with satisfaction, "What ulterior motives could I have? You're my designated wife, as your man, I naturally need to share the burden."

"Humph." Liu Ruyan pouted playfully and turned to ask, "By the way, my parents called me."

"What did they say?"

"They said I should return to the city soon. Right now, the situation is tense, with various family forces aligning, it's a good time for me to go."

Liu Ruyan murmured with a face full of worry, "There's really no choice."

"Leaving at this time might not be appropriate." Liu Zixuan shrugged.

"Hmm, so I thought of a good way to delay for a while, but I still won't be staying long. Once the village is fully on track, I'll have to leave." Liu Ruyan said.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Don't worry, no matter where you go, I'll follow you. I've promised someone to protect you!"

"Whose request are you fulfilling?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

"I can't tell you, when the time comes, she'll probably come find you."

This concerns Liu Ruyan's true identity, something Liu Zixuan can't carelessly reveal...
