Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Xiao Re followed Cui Lili's words and explained.

"Yes, yes, Erni, you misheard. I did say before that I don't like those thin, pale-faced pretty boys. Dr. Li is tall and handsome, just a little pale-skinned, not a pretty boy."

Seeing Xiao Re's flushed and flustered appearance as he hurriedly tried to explain, Li Yunhe chuckled softly, his gentle voice carrying a hint of teasing.

"So, Comrade Xiao means he's fairly satisfied with me?"

These words were too blunt, and Xiao Re looked embarrassed, not knowing how to respond.

Xiao Chengji immediately interrupted, smiling and readily agreeing.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. Dr. Li is young, promising, and handsome; he's a perfect match for my daughter, Rere."

Li Yunhe, with a gentle expression and sincere eyes, solemnly bowed to Xiao Chengji and made a promise.

"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle. I really like Xiao Re. If possible, I would like to officially start dating Comrade Xiao. I will definitely treat her well in the future and never let her down."

Before Xiao could politely refuse, her father made the decision for her without her consent.

"Okay! I think it's a great idea. You two can try dating first. Once Xiao Re graduates, you can get engaged."

Li Yunhe couldn't hide his smile, his gentle gaze falling softly on her as he asked with a smile.

"Comrade Xiao, may I call you Xiao Re from now on?"

"oh!"

You've already asked, how can you say no?

Xiao Re also started to have a headache.

She already has a husband in the military, and now her father is forcing her to find someone else. What kind of situation is this?!

Forget it, I'll deal with it for now and talk to Li Yunhe about it when I find the right time.

Anyway, I'll be "going back to school" after this one day.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiastic Dr. Li Yunhe insisted on sending Xiao Re to Jingzhou, saying he was worried about her safety.

They came again very early the next morning!

This gave Xiao a terrible headache.

She came to pick up Yang Erni to go to the army, not to take her boyfriend to Beijing. These are two completely different routes. What should we do?

She couldn't really take him all the way to the school, could she? It would waste time and money on train tickets. More importantly, she's currently on leave of absence; if Li Yunhe went, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"Dr. Li, thank you. No need to see me off, I can go home by myself!"

"Little one, I've already asked the hospital for leave. I also want to go up north and have a look!"

"What are you looking at?" Xiao's face was even more unpleasant than a bitter gourd.

"Dr. Li, you're a medical worker, a tenured employee, and a key member of the department. How can you take leave for personal reasons? No, you can't go!"

"But I've already applied for leave from my supervisor. I work overtime every day and haven't had a day off in three months. Xiao Re, I won't cause you any trouble; I've already bought the train tickets."

Li Yunhe clutched two train tickets in his hand, his eyes downcast, his expression gloomy, and his heart filled with utter disappointment. He couldn't understand why Xiao Re was rejecting him.

He considered himself to be good-looking, intelligent, and talented, and the doctors and nurses in the hospital were all eager to get close to him, so why couldn't he catch Xiao Re's eye?

Seeing his daughter being so disobedient, Xiao Chengji frowned and scolded Xiao Re again.

"You idiot. Little Li was just being nice by taking you to school and buying you a ticket. What are you being so dramatic about? You're a 20-year-old young woman, it's perfectly normal to date someone openly, it's not like it's anything shameful."

"Xiao Li, don't listen to her. This girl is probably just shy. Please take good care of her along the way."

With her father interfering like this, Xiao had no choice but to comply.

At worst, we can only take Li Yunhe on a short trip to Jingzhou. Of course, Yang Erni will have to come along too.

"Dad, two tickets aren't enough. Erni is going too. I found her a job as a kitchen helper in our school cafeteria. I've already talked to Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, and she'll be coming up with me this time."

Seeing that Xiao had given in, Li Yunhe stood up with great joy and rushed outside.

"Okay! I'll go buy another ticket. I'll go now."

Seeing Li Yunhe's enthusiastic and proactive demeanor, Xiao Chengji grew to like him more and more. This young man was gentle, thoughtful, and honest; the tenderness in his eyes was practically glued to his own daughter, showing that he was truly in love.

If Xiao Re can get along with him, she won't have to worry about the rest of her life.

As soon as Li Yunhe left, he pulled Xiao Re aside and began to ramble on, giving her earnest advice.

"Xiao Re, this Dr. Li is really good. Although we've only met twice, I can tell he's a reliable man. Moreover, he's excellent in every way, comes from a good family, and his parents are understanding and highly educated. The key is that this young man's heart and soul are completely devoted to you; he can't hide his feelings at all. You must cherish him."

"Your father is old, with one foot in the grave. He can't take care of you for the rest of your life. He's just hoping you'll find a good home, marry a reliable man, and live a peaceful and comfortable life in your later years."

"You can't be as willful and bully him as before. If you lose such a good son-in-law, I'll be furious."

As he spoke, the old man even started wiping away tears, making it seem as if Xiao Re would be committing a heinous crime if she didn't date Li Yunhe.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to him properly. Don't say anything unlucky."

"You must live a long and healthy life, and live to be a hundred. You complain that I'm not eager to learn, but I haven't found a successor to my medical skills yet. Shouldn't I pass them on to my future grandchildren?"

"Dad, let me tell you, after I'm gone, you're not allowed to go up the mountain to collect herbs anymore. Enjoy your retirement. You know you're old. What if you fall and get hurt on such a high mountain? Anyway, I'll have Uncle Yang keep an eye on you. If you dare to take your health for granted again, I'll break up with Li Yunhe immediately."

When it comes to threats, bullying, and verbal sparring, a hundred old men of Xiao's wouldn't be a match for Xiao Re.

Hearing his daughter say that, he immediately became obedient.

"Okay, okay, I won't do anything from now on, I'll just stay home and eat for free, alright? As long as you talk to Dr. Li properly, I'll listen to whatever you say."

To appease her father, Xiao Re and Li Yunhe began dating "openly" and "secretly".

Especially when the three of them entered the train station carrying large and small bags, Xiao Re felt like she wanted to sneak away.

She even secretly encouraged Yang Erni to jump off the train the moment it started moving.

Unaware of the truth, Li Yunhe was still happily anticipating that after arriving in Jingzhou, he could properly cultivate his relationship with the girl he liked.

When they entered the station, he took all the luggage and bags himself, not even letting Xiao Re carry a water bottle, for fear of tiring this delicate girl.

He kept asking her if she was thirsty, hungry, tired, or if she needed to rest and eat something.

Xiao wasn't thirsty, hungry, or tired; she just felt a strange, oppressive feeling in her heart. She didn't know how to appease this gentle and considerate man.

To be honest, if they weren't married, this would be a really good prospect.

Just as Xiao was frowning in worry, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was dressed in a crisp uniform, exuding an air of authority, and hurried over from the platform in the distance.
