“If a man can’t even have that much self-control, then what right do I have to make you like me?

But Xinxin, don’t just threaten to castrate me every now and then; if something bad happens because of that scare, that would be the happiness of your latter half of life we’re talking about…”

Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched, this man’s skin was getting thicker and thicker.

At that moment, at the top of the staircase on the second floor, a man in black watched Yang Ruxin below, a faint smile appearing on his androgynous face: “It’s actually her!” However, the man by her side seemed so irksome to look at.

Gu Qingheng suddenly felt an aggressive gaze upon him and quickly looked up, but he only saw a black figure disappearing around the corner of the second floor, his brow furrowing slightly.

He wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to target Xinxin.

Yang Ruxin quickly followed his gaze: “Who?”

Gu Qingheng shook his head: “Didn’t see clearly, but…

I have a feeling that’s a dangerous person.”

Yang Ruxin’s brow furrowed slightly: “If he really has plans against us, he will make a move eventually, and then we’ll know…”

Gu Qingheng nodded.

By this time, Ye San had already placed the bets, and it was getting late and quite a bit colder, so they started to head back.

In a room on the third floor of the gambling house, the black-clothed man instructed his subordinate: “Go see what she bet on, and find out where she’s staying.”

The subordinate complied and vanished.

Yang Ruxin hadn’t been trying to hide her tracks, so they quickly found out: “The young lady just placed a bet of thirty thousand taels on number six, she’s staying at the Tongmen Inn…”

“Number six, huh?” The man smiled, “Go to the other gambling houses and place fifty thousand taels on number six…”

The subordinate looked at his master with surprise but knew better than to ask unnecessary questions; he simply acknowledged the order and went off again.

The black-clothed man then played with a teacup on the table: “Yang Ruxin, we must be fated to meet.”

At this moment, Yang Ruxin, carrying a bunch of snacks, had just entered the inn when she saw a figure rushing toward her.

Seeing the person hurling towards her, Yang Ruxin instinctively reached out her hand, but before she could touch them, she was picked up and whirled around in the air, landing outside the inn, neatly avoiding the incoming embrace.

“Sister…” Yu Qingge stood at the entrance looking aggrieved.

“If you dare to hug and cuddle with Xinxin again, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Gu Qingheng said with a very unpleasant expression.

Oddly enough, he didn’t quite like Yu Qingge—not that there was anything wrong with the girl, but he instinctively felt that she was here to compete with him for someone.

Originally feeling aggrieved, Yu Qingge now had her temper flare up as well, hands on her hips she retorted: “Why not?

Has my sister sold herself to you?”

“She’s my wife!”

“Your wife?

Then pray tell, have you two married?

Do you have a marriage certificate?” Yu Qingge glared back, “Even if you’re married, divorce is still possible, let alone…”

“Enough!” Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but hold her forehead, finally understanding why this little girl was rejected in ancient times.

She truly had no filter, saying whatever came to mind, her fierce personality very much fitting the traits of a post-millennial.

But this was ancient times, where you couldn’t act so wilfully, so she hurriedly spoke up to interrupt, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
