"Maybe... both righteous and evil," Gu Qingheng, though quite displeased with the other’s actions, didn’t go as far as to say she shouldn’t accept it.
"Then, this is for you." Yang Ruxin instead stuffed the ring into Gu Qingheng’s hand, "What he owes me is essentially what he owes you. If you really need it, having him repay you with a favor works the same."
Gu Qingheng’s eyes slightly curved, his smile blooming instantly like a brilliant flower. He accepted it without refusing, not because he wanted the other to owe him a favor, but because he didn’t want his girl wearing other men’s things. So, he would keep it for now.
Yang Ruxin was dazzled by his smile for a moment. Thank goodness for her strong will, otherwise... She sighed softly to herself, imagining just how many romantic entanglements this guy would have in the future. Just the thought alone was exhausting!
"Caught daydreaming in the presence of your husband’s handsome face, Little Xinxin must be punished!" Gu Qingheng, seeing Yang Ruxin’s expression, chuckled lightly and pulled her into his arms for a kiss that turned her world upside down.
When her mind cleared, Yang Ruxin sighed, "Gu Qingheng, what ’husband’? Your skin is thick beyond belief..."
"If not to me, then who would Little Xinxin marry?" Gu Qingheng’s beautiful eyes narrowed ever so slightly, "I’m telling you, if you dare marry someone else, I’ll slaughter whoever it is..."
"What are you thinking?" Yang Ruxin slapped his forehead with a smack, "Threatening me?"
"No!" Gu Qingheng shook his head hastily. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to threaten her. One slip-up and he’d be crying without knowing how to hit the right pitch.
Yang Ruxin’s eyebrows slightly raised, "So if I really do marry you in the future, are you going to kill yourself, then?"
"If you marry me, I’ll spare myself..." Gu Qingheng immediately put on an innocent expression, batting his electrifying eyes energetically.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. When did she first find this man so childish? She pushed away quickly, "I’m leaving." If she didn’t go now, this guy would probably get frisky again, and sadly, she was powerless to resist. She might not make it out of the courtyard all day.
Gu Qingheng, looking at Yang Ruxin’s slightly swollen lips, felt very satisfied. It was his mark.
The pair had just reached the entrance of the small building’s courtyard when they heard the urgent sound of footsteps behind them. Turning around, they saw Guan Qingyue and Li Jiaya running towards them.
It should be mentioned here that in the past, these two had little to do with each other, because of their clashing personalities, they certainly wouldn’t hang out together.
But ever since Guan Qingyue’s incident, she really had changed a lot. No longer aloof, nor cuttingly sarcastic, and after clarifying her position with Yang Ruxin last time, she truly went back and convinced Guan Danian and his wife, agreeing to work with Yang Ruxin. But with the New Year approaching, even if she was to work, it would have to wait until after the celebrations.
However, Guan Qingyue became closer to the Yang sisters, and naturally got to know Li Jiaya better, eventually becoming friends with her too.
But what could be so important that they were coming over together so early in the morning?
"Sister Xinxin!" Li Jiaya called out while running and waving her hand.
"Slow down," Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but raise her voice in a warning.
As her words fell, Li Jiaya stumbled. Thankfully, Guan Qingyue was right behind her to catch her, preventing a fall.
"What’s gotten into you two so early in the morning?" Sanni ran out from the courtyard upon hearing the noise.
