361: Chapter 361: Think Carefully (Second Update)_1 361: Chapter 361: Think Carefully (Second Update)_1 âIs Big Brother still so lacking in confidence?â Gu Yao went over and placed his hand on Gu Qinghengâs shoulder, âDonât say that His Highness has already asked Dao Xuzi to come, what if it really canât be cured?â He paused for a moment, âBig Brother, I only ask you one thingâare you really willing to see her married off to another man?â
âIâŠâ Gu Qingheng suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Yes, he had been obsessing over his health issues this whole time, but on the other hand, if it truly couldnât be cured, would he really be willing to watch her marry someone else, have children with him, and then never be able to speak intimately with her again?
Shaking his head subconsciously, no, he was not willing.
Gu Yao patted Gu Qinghengâs shoulder: âIâve heard those few aunts at the riverside chatting about her while washing clothes these past few days, mentioning that she has come of age for marriageâŠâ
Gu Qingheng immediately fell into deep thought.
Indeed, even though Ruxin wasnât particularly dazzling now, she would eventually bloom completely, and when that time came, she would certainly attract the attention of manyâthenâŠ
âBig Brother, let me put it the other way around, aside from you who could indulge her like this, silently protect her, both overtly and covertly, once she marries another man, do you think that man would be willing to let her show her face in public?
Or to put it another way, can he protect her?â Gu Yao looked at Gu Qingheng, âEven more seriously, could anyone believe in her unconditionally?â
Yang Ruxin was a person with secrets.
Although she herself had never spoken of it, having been in contact with her for so long, he could feel it, and Big Brother felt it too.
But Big Brother had instructed him not to ask anything, just to trust unconditionally, so he didnât ask.
But would others do the same?
âStop it,â Gu Qingheng suddenly raised his hand to signal, âLet me think this over.â
Yang Ruxin was unaware that next door, Gu Yao was persuading Gu Qingheng to confess his feelings for her because an uninvited guest had arrived at her home.
Yang Baihui had actually come over by herself.
âDani, Third Aunt has come to see you.â Yang Baihui smiled at Yang Ruxin who answered the door, and then squeezed into the courtyard, first looking around, âTsk tsk, the ancestral house built by your great-great-uncle was the best in the village, with foundations all laid with solid stones.
Otherwise, with so many other houses collapsed around here, why is it that this house remains unscathed?â
âIs there something you want, Third Aunt?â Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Baihui, her tone quite indifferent.
âYour great-great-uncle is truly generous.
Giving away such a large house just like that, surely his descendants have no objections?â Yang Baihui did not answer Yang Ruxinâs question but clicked her tongue twice instead.
Yang Ruxinâs eyes narrowed slightly: âThird Aunt can go and ask the great-great-uncle about that.â
âAiyo, the backyard is big enough, huh, with chicken coops and pigsties.
When did you start raising them?
And youâre even raising rabbits?
These two are enough to make a stewâŠâ Yang Baihui wouldnât really go ask the great-great-uncle; pretending not to hear Yang Ruxinâs question, she turned her attention to the backyard, âHow about we stew them for lunch today?â she said as she reached out to grab the Little Bunny.
However, just as Yang Baihuiâs hand was about to touch the Little Bunny, a streak of Light suddenly dashed over and bit at the intruderâs hand.
âXiaobai.â Yang Ruxin got a scare and quickly called out.
And Yang Baihui, sensing something surging towards her, quickly withdrew her hand, narrowly avoiding Xiaobaiâs teeth, but it gave her a cold sweat.
When she saw that it was a small white dog, her anger flared, and she kicked out: âWhere did this stray dog come from?
Dare to bite me?
Iâll kick you to deathâŠâ
