Yang Ruxin frowned at Qi Jingyi, "Eighth Master, do you realize how strange your gaze is when you look at me?"
"Really?" Qi Jingyi hastily touched his own face.
"Obviously," Yang Ruxin narrowed her eyes, "I’m warning you, although my sister is stunning and supremely intelligent, you’d better not entertain any messy thoughts. Otherwise, no matter what your status is, I’ll still take you down..." The way this guy looked at her made her very uncomfortable. Though she was quite blunt when it came to matters of the heart, she could still recognize when a man had designs on a woman. At this moment, she was certain this guy had thoughts about her. Such awareness didn’t flatter her; it actually disgusted her. Damn it, every man in the Imperial Family is like a stud horse, even thinking about it is unsettling.
"Cough cough..." Qi Jingyi was suddenly choked by his own saliva.
Little Liuzi and Tie Dan hurriedly bowed their heads, pretending to be invisible. They were aware of Xinxin’s ferocity but still unaccustomed to it.
Gu Yao lifted his eyelids, "I’ll help you."
Yang Ruxin patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, "That’s my good brother..."
"That’s enough from you two," Qi Jingyi finally lost his temper, "Yang Ruxin, what kind of notions are you harboring? You’re just a country girl, with no figure to speak of, no pretty face. Only a blind man like Gu Qingheng would fancy you. I’m telling you, even the servants by my side are more attractive than you..."
But Yang Ruxin suddenly laughed, "A man who only looks at a woman’s figure and face is superficial. My Qingheng has depth..."
Qi Jingyi was instantly left speechless, "You..." Then he picked up a teacup and gulped down some tea, only to start choking again. He thought to himself that talking to this woman could be infuriating; she was his nemesis.
Yang Ruxin chuckled smugly, feeling very satisfied, and turned to open the window to look outside.
The location of Quanshun Building was also good. Although it wasn’t the center of town, the street outside was bustling.
It was midday, and the street was teeming with people.
Suddenly, in the crowd, a familiar figure hurried by.
Yang Ruxin paused for a moment, then stood up involuntarily.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Yao looked over first thing.
"I saw Yang Ruyu," Yang Ruxin’s frown deepened, "hurrying off with a bundle... She looked as if she’s about to run away from home or elope with someone."
"I’ll have a look..." Gu Yao said and stood up to leave.
Yang Ruxin wanted to stop him, but unfortunately, Gu Yao was too fast. Just as she opened her mouth, he was already downstairs. In the end, she had to close it again.
"I can guess where your pretty cousin is headed..." Qi Jingyi suddenly looked up at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered, "Now that you mention it, I don’t need you to tell me, I’ve guessed it too. She must be going to see your Tenth Brother, right? Her scheming is tens of levels higher than my little aunt’s..."
"You’re so smart; doesn’t Gu Qingheng feel pressured?" Qi Jingyi’s tone, even unbeknownst to himself, had a trace of sourness.
"He’ll only feel proud. Why would he feel pressured?" Yang Ruxin smiled triumphantly and then gave Qi Jingyi a top-to-bottom once-over, "As for you, you’re better suited to women without brains..."
With a snort! Little Liuzi and Tie Dan at the side couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Realizing their lapse, both stood up in unison, "We need to go to the privy." Then they hurriedly left the room.
