  "Hum——Rumble, rumble......"

  The train passed through a small station, whistled and rushed through this rural town.

  Liu Fei's coquettishness did not stop Yang Jie's gaze from falling on her, and as Yang Jie's gaze gradually softened, his eyes filled with deep tenderness, like a warm spring breeze that thawed Liu Fei's long-frozen heart, touching the deeply hidden strings of her innermost being, causing her to become helplessly entranced in Yang Jie's profound gaze.

  Liu Fei became so cold and arrogant because once someone knew that she had offended Liao Fanwu, everyone avoided her like a snake's skin, far away from her. Therefore, although she was called the county committee office flower, she was actually a solitary, thorny rose that could only be admired from afar but not approached.

  In addition to her physical examination revealing that she was **underdeveloped**, resulting in her having congenital infertility, making it impossible for her to have children this lifetime. Her parents no longer hoped that she could marry like a normal woman, so they left the river and returned home, leaving Liu Fei alone to work by the river, making her even more aloof and unwilling to interact with men.

  Yang Jie is her direct supervisor, a young man who has just graduated and become the focus of all county cadres and masses as soon as he started working. Yang Jie, with his sunny and handsome appearance, carries a special affinity that makes him the first male she doesn't feel disgusted with in her heart.

  In addition, Yang Jie took the initiative to ask the county leaders to transfer her to work in the provincial capital, letting her leave Changyang City and get out of Liao Fanwu's sight and influence. She indeed felt a sense of gratitude towards Yang Jie that she had never felt before.

  Recalling what Yang Jie said earlier, he clearly knew what kind of person Liao Fanwu was, yet he still dared to say such things, and looking at his solemn expression, it seemed like he wasn't even joking, which made Liu Fei feel a warmth in her heart.

  No matter whether there will be a day when Liao Fanwu dances on stage for her to see, Yang Jie's attitude towards her has not changed at all since he found out that the person who hit her was a member of the municipal party committee. Just this point alone makes Yang Jie very different from other timid men.

  "Why do you like wearing skirts so much?" Yang Jie came back to himself, seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold again, and pointed at Liu Fei's long skirt. "With a figure as good as yours, wouldn't you look even more beautiful in a short skirt?"

  Liu Fei was about to explain, but heard Yang Jie say this, and suddenly snorted, "You men are all the same, regardless of age, with bad intentions. When we get to Rong City, the whole street is full of snow-white thighs, let you look your fill."

  "It's not what you think! I was just admiring with a pure and innocent gaze, unlike other men. You have a great figure, long legs, and smooth skin, you'd definitely look good in a short skirt." Yang Jie said, recalling the glimpse of Liu Fei's legs under her skirt in the office a few days ago, he couldn't help but stare at her legs under the table again, swallowing his saliva.

  "Shameless! I didn't think you'd be so bad! Stop staring at me!" Liu Fei saw Yang Jie like this, and unexpectedly didn't feel annoyed in her heart, but instead shyly stretched out her slender hand to block Yang Jie's line of sight.

  "You're so beautiful, whoever walks out will stare at you. Look at those guys over there, aren't they all sneaking a peek at you?" Yang Jie was blocked by Liu Fei's words and suddenly smiled, pointing to the men behind Liu Fei, "If you really don't want to be looked at, I reckon you'll have to marry into the Middle East. Only women from that place cover themselves up tightly when they go out, even their faces are covered."

  Liu Fei followed Yang Jie's pointing direction, turned her head back to glance at the men not far away who were secretly checking her out, with a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes. After hearing Yang Jie's teasing, she turned around and said: "Really, if there's an opportunity, marrying into the Middle East wouldn't be bad either, at least it's better than now!"

  "No way! You really dare to think about it! The Middle East is a place with polygamy, do you want to be someone's concubine and need to go abroad? Just marry me and that's it!" Yang Jie heard this and exaggeratedly leaned in close to Liu Fei, mysteriously saying such a sentence, causing Liu Fei to blush and immediately raise her hand to hit Yang Jie, but was caught by Yang Jie who had been prepared.

  "Big sister, look at this, we're on the train, with so many people watching, can't you just give me some face?" Yang Jie grasped Liu Fei's slender and delicate hand, feeling the smoothness of her skin, without any intention of letting go.

  "Let go!" Liu Fei didn't expect Yang Jie to grab her wrist and not let go, her heart suddenly filled with panic.

  "Let go! What if you move your hands again later?" Yang Jie smiled and refused to let go no matter how hard Liu Fei struggled.

  "I won't move, you let go quickly, everyone is watching!" Liu Fei really didn't expect that in the midst of a crowd, Yang Jie would grab her hand and not let go. She was so embarrassed that she became a bit anxious.

  "Just look at it! It won't hurt to take a look, and besides, they don't know us anyway. What's there to be embarrassed about? Oh right, let me take a look at your palm!" Yang Jie said as he reached out to grab Liu Fei's hand, gently prying her fingers open to reveal her palm, which he then examined seriously.

  Struggling to shake off Liu Fei, Yang Jie looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears as he seriously read her palm.

  Liu Fei had never met anyone as shameless as Yang Jie, who grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go. And to make matters worse, he was her direct supervisor, and so far, the only man who knew about Liao Fanwu's feelings for her and still dared to behave like this towards her.

  A different and exciting feeling, in Liu Fei's heart, sprouted. Her icy heart seemed to have a hint of melting due to Yang Jie's persistent pursuit.

  "Your health line is good, you will definitely live to be 80 years old. Your career line and wisdom line are very good, indicating that your future career will be successful. Your emotional line is very clean, indicating that you have little romantic experience, but from the age of 26 onwards, your emotional line has become complicated, indicating that you will meet another half in your life."

  Her slender fingers are long and flexible, plump and fleshy, with shiny nails, a good wife and mother's palm! "Yang Jie grabbed Liu Fei's right hand with one hand, and lightly gestured on her palm with the other, concisely stating the results of his fortune-telling.

  Finally, after Yang Jie finished speaking, Liu Fei hastily stretched out her hand to push away Yang Jie's hand. After her small hand was freed, Liu Fei's heart, which had been racing like a deer, gradually calmed down.

  Looking at Yang Jie's carefree smile, Liu Fei said seriously: "Director, can you please not casually grab people's hands in the future?"

  Yang Jie heard this and suddenly smiled, looking at the serious Liu Fei, nodded solemnly and said: "Do I look like a casual person?"

  As soon as the words came out, Liu Fei's pretty face turned black.

  Yang Jie's handsome face straightened, he leaned in close to Liu Fei, his voice a little low but clear and powerful: "Alright, I surrender! From now on, I'll seriously not hold your hand outside of work hours when I'm not your leader, is that okay?"

  "Scoundrel! Rascal!"

  Liu Fei saw Yang Jie and was about to say something, but her face turned red again, her lips slightly parted, and she didn't know what to say. She let out a soft "tsk" sound, but didn't utter any threatening words towards Yang Jie anymore.

  "What's wrong? Are you angry?" Yang Jie saw Liu Fei not speaking, just silently cracking melon seeds by herself. He smiled and stretched out his hand, rudely grabbing a handful of pumpkin seeds from her bag.

  "Ah!" Liu Fei saw Yang Jie grab her hand without asking, and she didn't refuse. Looking at Yang Jie's sunny face, that radiant smile that could melt the coldest of ice, her heart suddenly went soft.

  "Alright! I'm not joking with you anymore, but you actually believed it?" As soon as Yang Jie finished speaking, Liu Fei, who should have felt relieved, suddenly felt a hollow feeling in her heart, as if something was missing.

  "You'd better keep a certain distance from me, otherwise, if he finds out, even with Secretary Zhou backing you up, don't think about having an easy time in Changyang City from now on."

  Liu Fei looked at the sunny and handsome Yang Jie, who had just started his career and had a bright future ahead of him. She felt a growing sense of self-reproach in her heart, so she calmed herself down, straightened her pretty face, and warned Yang Jie very seriously.

  "What a joke! This is not Liao's family, just because he has some power, can he interfere with others' lives? I don't believe it! I dare to bring you from Hebei to the provincial city, and I dare to touch this old tiger's butt!" Yang Jie heard this and showed a hint of disdain on his face. With great ambitions and lofty aspirations, how could Yang Jie put a prefectural committee member in his eyes?

  Moreover, he also has Xiao Wu. Although the ability shown by Xiao Wu cannot defy the heavens, it helps him deal with a municipal committee member. Yang Jie is not under any pressure at all. He believes that as long as Xiao Wu is around, whoever it is, Liao Fanwu or whatever, they are just insignificant clowns who can't enter his eyes.

  Liu Fei looked at Yang Jie, who was full of vigor and ambition, and a flash of anxiety crossed her eyes. She took the initiative to grab Yang Jie's hand and shook her head gently, "Don't say such things again in the future. I believe you have such abilities, but when you still need to rely on others for survival, never show off your sharp edges again. A tall tree will be broken by the wind."

  "My life is mine, not heaven's. If heaven wants to destroy me, I'll destroy heaven. Don't worry too much, it's fine!" Yang Jie was stimulated by Liu Fei's concerned action, and suddenly said a sentence that was extremely arrogant yet overwhelmingly domineering.

  Looking at Liu Fei with a worried look in her eyes, Yang Jie winked and patted Liu Fei's slender hand, saying: "I'm not stupid, sneaking into the village, shooting guns is not my style, even if I want to deal with him, I have to come from the side. I promise you, in the future, I will definitely give you a free and happy life, no need to live so suffocatingly."
