1162: Chapter 1162: Long-winded (1) 1162: Chapter 1162: Long-winded (1) Listening to Yang Ruxin speak resentfully about her conversation with Du Juan, Gu Qingheng couldnât help but laugh, âXinxin, donât you like silver?
With such a huge fortune right in front of you, why wouldnât you want it?â
âIs that silver so easy to get?â Yang Ruxin pouted.
âBut since things are already this way, since you canât refuse it, why bother worrying?â
Yang Ruxin looked up and rubbed Gu Qinghengâs face, âDear Little Hengheng, your thoughts are becoming more and moreâŠ
open-mindedâŠâ
âOf course, âHe who stays near vermilion gets stained red; he who stays near ink gets stained black,'â Gu Qingheng said as he took her hand and wrapped it in his own.
âThough you say that, Iâm still very worried,â Yang Ruxin suddenly sighed, âafter all, the younger sisters are still too youngâŠâ
âInstead of worrying, better to be prepared,â Gu Qingheng chuckled, âEven without her, they will encounter other dangers in the future.
You canât expect to remove every potential danger for them, can you?â
âYou make sense,â Yang Ruxin reached out and hugged Gu Qinghengâs waist, âSo itâs time to go to sleep now, otherwise it will be daylight soonâŠâ and then she let go, âIâm off.â
âXinxin,â Gu Qingheng called, holding onto her.
âWhat is it?â Yang Ruxin looked up in surprise.
âNext month, we are getting married,â Gu Qinghengâs eyes twinkled, âThatâŠâ
âWhy are you hesitating?â
âDo you think itâs too hasty?â Gu Qingheng took Yang Ruxinâs hand, letting her wrap it around his waist, then cupped her face in his hands, âXinxin, will you one day regret marrying me?â
Actually, it should have been the man to bring up marriage first, but his Ruxin didnât care about these things.
She took the initiative to propose getting married immediately, and these days he had been truly happy.
But as the marriage date drew closer, he became more and more entangled.
He had thought about refusing, had thought about preparing slowly, and then giving her a grand wedding with a dowry spread over ten miles.
But, he really couldnât wait.
The news that just came from Beijing was that in the north, where the snow had stopped before the new year, had begun falling again after, and had now been falling continuously for seven or eight days.
If it kept falling, the temperature would continue to drop, and then the green grass wouldnât be able to grow back.
That meant war would inevitably break out.
If he didnât secure his little bride now, he really was worriedâŠ
But he also worried that if something happened to him, his little bride would become a widow.
That would be harming herâŠ
âGu Qingheng, why are you rambling?â Yang Ruxin pinched the flesh on Gu Qinghengâs waist, âIâve already proposed and am prepared to marry you, and here you are blathering on and on.
What are you trying to do?
If you want to back out, then just say soâŠâ Having said that, she turned to walk away.
But how could Gu Qingheng let go of her?
He pulled her back again, âIâm just afraidâŠâ
âIf youâre afraid Iâll regret it, then be nicer to me.
If youâre afraid Iâll be widowed, then cherish your life more in the future.
If youâre afraid Iâll get jealous, then stay away from other womenâŠ
If you donât want me to call off the marriage, then shut up now and go back to sleepâŠâ
Gu Qingheng was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and leaned in to kiss Yang Ruxin hard.
âAhâŠ
I didnât see anythingâŠâ Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from nearby.
Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng were startled and quickly turned around, only to find that Erni, Sanni, and the others were already dressed neatly and had come outâit was time for morning exercise.
âBig sister, brother-in-law, if youâre going to be affectionate in the future, at least do it behind peopleâs backs, after allâŠâ Sanni said with a mischievous smile, âafter all, we are still childrenâŠâ
