Xiao Xiao looked up at Wang Wei with a gaze that seemed to mix displeasure and a hint of a smile, asking, "Do you dislike me?"

Wang Wei, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp from that look, quickly changed his tone, saying, "I was just kidding. Even though you can't handle these trivial tasks, you are smart; that's what makes it a great job!"

Xiao Xiao instantly smiled with narrowed eyes, nestled in Wang Wei's arms, and rubbed against him like a little cat, saying, "I knew you knew me the best."

Wang Wei felt that he had conceded too quickly just now, which seemed a bit unmanly.

However, facing Xiao Xiao's sharp retorts and fearing another one of those glances she gave earlier, not to mention the possibility of her getting upset and him feeling guilty, he could only snort and say, "Who called me your man!" trying to salvage a bit of his pride, even if it was just a little.

Xiao Xiao wholeheartedly agreed with Wang Wei's words, saying, "Exactly, you're the manliest!"

Wang Wei instantly felt comfortable.

Since they were going to build a house, the first thing they needed was a homestead. Wang
Wei was a decisive man of action. As soon as the decision was made, he immediately took Xiao Xiao around the whole village to look for suitable land.

Now that the busy spring ploughing is over, and people had some free time, with the weather not too hot, the villagers of Xiaoqian Village gathered in small groups, twisting straw ropes in their hands, chatting, and enjoying each other's company.

When Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao came out, everyone couldn't help but look in their direction.
There was no help for it; these two people were simply too good-looking, especially Wang Wei. Among the short and less impressive men of Xiaoqian Village, he stood out like a god wherever he went.

Whether they were older single women or young married women, those with strong wills might just be distracted for a moment, while some who could not withstand the impact of beauty had their gaze practically glued to Wang Wei.

Xiao Xiao scratched at Wang Wei's palm and gave him a sidelong glance.

Wang Wei instantly caught on and glared at the onlookers as if his eyes had turned to ice.
He shouted, "What are you looking at? I already have a wife. If you want to look, go look at someone else!" He felt uncomfortable being the center of attention like this. He was also uncomfortable being watched by so many people; he thought it might have been better when people used to avoid him from a distance. If Xiao Xiao got angry, could these people really help him pacify her?

"Wow, he's so fierce..." "He really is a wolf cub..."

The women who were captivated by his charm were finally awakened by Wang Wei's shout. Considering his previous reputation, they were instantly frightened and scattered in all directions.

After Wang Wei shouted, Xiao Xiao immediately switched from scratching to gently caressing, her fingers circling in his palm. She looked at him with a playful smile and said,
"Why are you like this? They're just girls, you know. You've made them so sad!" If her smile hadn't resembled that of a cat who had stolen some cream, her words might have been more believable.

Wang Wei clicked his tongue, grabbing her mischievous fingers and sneered, "Xiao Xiao, is it fun for you to play these games with me? How come I didn't realize you were so hypocritical before?"

Xiao Xiao giggled, "You still have a lot to discover about me." Suddenly, she reached up, grabbed Wang Wei's neck, lowered his head a bit, and whispered in his ear. Though her tone was soft, it carried a mysteriously seductive quality, "After we get to know each other better, you'll understand." As she pulled away, intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Wei felt like something wet had brushed against his earlobe.
