1298: Chapter 1298: Farewell (4) 1298: Chapter 1298: Farewell (4) âHeheâŠâ Gu Qingheng laughed, âThe advance provisions have already left, and Iâm responsible for the subsequent food supply replenishmentâŠâ
âI understand.
When are you leaving?â Yang Ruxinâs heart eased slightly, transporting provisions was much better than charging into battle indeed.
Donât call her selfish, but this was her man, a man she hadnât yet consummated her marriage with.
She wouldnât stop him from going to war, but she hoped he would return safely.
âTomorrow.â
âIâll wait for you to come back.â Yang Ruxin took the initiative to kiss Gu Qingheng on the lips, feeling an inexplicable surge of emotionâa mix of sourness and astringency.
âGood.â Gu Qingheng stared into Yang Ruxinâs eyes.
âYou still owe me a wedding night.â
Yang Ruxinâs eyes grew warm, but she fought back tears, âEven if I owe you a wedding night, youâre not allowed to provoke other women or attract butterflies.
If you dare to stir up any mess, IâllâŠâ But before she could finish the sentence, it was swallowed up by his forceful kiss.
This kiss was different from the othersâit was possessive and utterly domineeringâuntil Yang Ruxin saw spots of light and Gu Qingheng, panting, finally released her and buried his head in the nape of her neck, âXinxin, I had never thought that I would have someone by my side, nor did I imagine Iâd be so deeply concerned for someoneâŠâ
Yang Ruxin wanted to nod.
She hadnât expected it either.
âFor you, I will surely return safely,â Gu Qingheng continued, âAnd for me, you should also take good care of yourself.
Of course, if one day, I happened toâŠâ
âGu Qingheng, I donât want to hear those words,â Yang Ruxin suddenly pushed him away, turned over, and lay on his chest, looking at him seriously, âIf you dare to get into trouble, Iâll definitely drag you back from King Yama and show you how I step out on youâŠâ
Gu Qingheng was actually moved, his eyes getting slightly red.
Just as he thought of returning a sentimental kiss, a loud gurgling sound interrupted the affectionate mood.
âWait, Iâll get you some food.â Gu Qingheng got up with an apologetic look, having forgotten in his emotional state that Xinxin hadnât eaten yet.
That night, although the two didnât fully consummate their marriage, they were intensely passionate.
Gu Qingheng felt refreshed, while Yang Ruxinâs arms were numb.
Of course, it wasnât just herâErni was also so sore that she could hardly hold her chopsticks the next morning.
After breakfast, the seven Shadow Guards chosen to accompany them to the battlefield were all ready to go, and Gu Qingheng and Gu Yao were also prepared.
Each person carried a large bag of food and an extra double-shouldered backpack, personally designed by Yang Ruxin.
They were large, made of thick cotton cloth and the waterproof oiled cloth available at that time.
Inside were various medicines developed by Dao Xuziâboth life-saving drugs and poisons, in case they were needed.
Naturally, everyoneâs backpack also contained a ginseng root, which could be a lifesaver when eaten in a critical moment.
The family had long known Gu Qingheng wouldnât just live an unremarkable life here forever, but when they actually found out he was leaving, there was still profound reluctance and worry, especially for the Feng Family and Dong Wenxiu, who were truly tearful.
âMother, donât worry.
I will return safely,â Gu Qingheng gave everyone a comforting smile, then looked at Yang Ruxin, âYouâll have to take on some hardships from now on.â
