As if she thought of something, Yun Bixue stared at Xie Limo and said, "Limo, most people will treat a lady better if she looked like their younger sister and treat them like one."
Xie Limo stroked her head in amus.e.m.e.nt. "She's not my younger sister, no matter how much she looks like it. Why would I put unnecessary burden on other people's emotions? My wife, my EQ isn't that low!"
Hearing Xie Limo say this, Yun Bixue leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek. "This is your reward."
As she said that, she hugged his neck and said, "I will be honest with you too. When you were not around, I went to find w.a.n.g Qianjin and treated him to a meal once. But that was because I had something to ask him. I even thought of killing him then."
Xie Limo's heart warmed as he said, "I believe you. I also know that you will handle all things appropriately."
Yun Bixue gave Xie Limo a cautious look as she asked, "You're not angry?"
Xie Limo shook his head. "I'm not angry. At least he saved you. No matter how unwilling I am, I cannot help but admit that I am grateful to him deep down. If not for his help, I might really…" Xie Limo could not continue to say it. He merely tightened his arms as he hugged Yun Bixue.
He was a normal man. He had his fears too, and he was afraid of losing her. If she had been covered by the snow, and no one was there to help her, would he not be able to find her then?
Xie Limo did not dare to think about it. If that was the case, he would never forgive himself.
Thankfully, she was still alright and in his arms.

During the few days when Yun Bixue went to Gui County, a drastic change happened in the capital. The An family had been consistently on the news headlines because of the ongoing public debate about them. Furthermore, after An Yexuan's authority was revoked, the An family entered into a state of internal strife—a struggle for power.
As An Yexuan had been beaten up badly, a string of ulcers formed in his mouth as well.
For some unknown reason, the issue in Gui County had not been kept under wraps. The citizens all knew about the issue of villages being buried under snow.
They also knew that their Minister for State Affairs risked his life to save their fellow citizens, and that the Minister's wife risked her life as well to go to the faraway Gui County out of love for him!
A true love worthy of praise and tears spread positive energy and touched the hearts of many. In the capital, Xie Limo and Yun Bixue became a famous couple.
Someone even dug out the fact that once the both of them went into the capital, Yun Bixue was like a heroine who stood up against discriminatory practices towards non-locals. She fought hard against the evil tyrants alongside the Minister for State Affairs. The Minister even ordered to sequestrate the restaurants that charged outsiders exorbitant prices once he a.s.sumed his post, cleaning up the restaurants in the capital.
The Minister for State Affairs even did a lot of things that benefited the people.
The good image and reputation of the couple had completely entered the hearts of the people this time, catching many officials off guard.
When the private jet carrying Xie Limo and Yun Bixue landed in the capital, many people came to welcome them on their own accord. They brought streamers, balloons, and red silk to welcome them.
Yun Bixue was being wheeled out in a wheelchair. When she saw this scene, she asked, "Is someone important coming to the airport later?"
Xie Limo pushed her wheelchair from behind as he said, "They're welcoming you and me."
"What?" Yun Bixue was stunned for a moment. She widened her eyes and asked, "When did we become so famous?"
"The credit goes to that interview you did in Gui County. Once it spread to the capital, all the things that happened there could no longer be kept under wraps."
