Chapter 720 - 720 720 Lack of Confidence (1)_1

720: Chapter 720: Lack of Confidence (1)_1 720: Chapter 720: Lack of Confidence (1)_1 Gu Qingheng didn’t speak, but just laid his head in the crook of her neck, deeply inhaling the unique, delicate fragrance of her body.

The unease and irritation of the past three days finally began to dissipate, and the emptiness in his heart that had lasted for three days was slowly being filled…

Yang Ruxin felt the fluctuations in his emotions and did not pursue her questions any further but simply allowed him to hold her, until he calmed down.

Then she raised her head, “Gu Qingheng, are you scared?”

Gu Qingheng nodded, “I feel so useless.

If only I could see and walk, then I could be with you.

But now…” He laughed self-deprecatingly, “You don’t know, these three days without you, I suddenly became very afraid, very insecure.

I was afraid you wouldn’t come back, afraid that you…” Even though he believed Xinxin had him in her heart, Xinxin was too outstanding for her own good.

She probably didn’t realize it, but she possessed a kind of charm that made people want to be close to her unconsciously, to gravitate towards her.

He truly feared that someone better than himself would appear and take her away.

Yang Ruxin placed a hand on his lips and giggled, “Gu Qingheng, I should be the one with such thoughts.

I was worried that, in these few days I was gone, someone else might have whisked you away…

You can’t see, but those women look at you as if they want to swallow you up…” She pouted her lips adding, “Oh, and there’s a chubby girl in town who wants to keep you for herself…”

“No one can snatch me away except you,” Gu Qingheng had calmed down and laughed along, “I only want you to keep me…”

“That’s more like it.” Yang Ruxin laughed as well.

“But what if one day, you meet someone who looks better than me, someone more capable?” Gu Qingheng’s tone sounded a bit childish.

“Cold salad,” Yang Ruxin pinched Gu Qingheng’s nose.

“Do you think you look like a big turnip?

How excellent must genes be optimized to look as good as you do?”

“What are genes, what optimal?” Gu Qingheng frowned.

“Anyway, it means not just anyone has the chance to look like you do.” Yang Ruxin stretched her hand out to rub his face.

“What if one day I become disfigured, or…”

“Tsk tsk!” Yang Ruxin hastily spat twice at the ground, “Gu Qingheng, can’t you say something nice?

I’m being very serious now when I tell you, indeed, I fancy your looks, but that’s only because I like you as a person first.

If it were someone I didn’t care for, even if they were better looking than you, I wouldn’t spare them a second glance.

You should know, even the looks of the lords and kings don’t compare to you, but I don’t like them, so I don’t think they’re good-looking…”

Gu Qingheng suddenly laughed like a fool.

“You bear,” Yang Ruxin mussed up his face a bit, then got out of bed, “Alright, no more silly thoughts.

You should rest up.

It was my fault for upsetting you a little earlier.

I should go freshen up now, and we’ll talk more over dinner tonight…”

Gu Qingheng didn’t say anything this time.

Now that the girl was back, his heart had returned to its place.

Just as Yang Ruxin was tidying up her clothes to leave, she suddenly remembered something, turned back, and took out the Feiyang Dart Bureau token, placing it in Gu Qingheng’s hand: “Didn’t need to use it.”

Gu Qingheng pushed it back to her, “Just didn’t need to use it for now.

Keep it.

If you have to go out on business, you might be able to use it.

The token can be used to call on manpower from the Feiyang Dart Bureau.”
