1313: Chapter 1313: The Chance to Choose Again (1) 1313: Chapter 1313: The Chance to Choose Again (1) âI am but a married village girl,â Yang Ruxin chuckled, âit isnât quite proper for the Third Master to address me so casually.
You could call me Lady Gu, Qinghengâs wife, or even Gu Yangshi.â
âHa haâŠâ Qi Jingyun laughed even louder, âBut I think you might have better options, for instance, becoming a princess?â
âPrincess?â Yang Ruxinâs face showed astonishment, âWhich foolish prince would fancy a married woman?â
Qi Jingyun touched his nose, wondering how to admit his own foolishness.
âRegardless of who it might be, itâs none of my concern.
The choices I have already made are the best for me,â Yang Ruxin waved her hand dismissively.
âThat might not necessarily be the case,â Qi Jingyun suddenly leaned forward, staring directly into her eyes, and lowered his voice slightly, âSometimes, the first choice one makes can be hasty.
Right now, I can offer you a chance to choose againâŠâ
When Yang Ruxin met his gaze, his eyes seemed like deep pools she couldnât fathom, enticing her to dive deeper, and internally she cursed, âDamn,â this man, too, knew the Soul-absorbing Technique.
Unfortunately for him, such tricks were lost on her, but she didnât show it and instead blinked innocently, âYour words, Third Master, really do tempt one to indulge in flights of fancy.â
âIâd allow you to indulgeâŠâ
âCould it be that you, Third Prince, have a liking for married women?â Yang Ruxin exclaimed suddenly.
Qi Jingyun was startled by her exclamation, and naturally, his Soul Capture was interrupted, leaving him a bit embarrassed.
âEven though Iâm married, Iâm still as beautiful as a flower.
Itâs normal for someone to be interested,â Yang Ruxin touched her face, then shook her head, âBut Prince Yun shouldnât⊠They say one should avenge a fatherâs death and resent the stealing of oneâs wife.
The prince should be a man of significant deeds, not one to foster hatred.
Imagine, my husband is out there on the battlefield defending the country, and here you are, trying to seduce his wife.
If word of this got outâŠâ
Qi Jingyunâs face darkened at once, thinking to himself that she really was nothing more than a village girl, entirely unfit for high society.
He waved his hand dismissively, âWhat nonsense are you speaking?â
âAm I wrong?â
âWhen did I ever say I fancied you?â Qi Jingyun appeared rather annoyed, almost outraged, âPresumptuous!
Now get out!â
âAh, so it was a misunderstanding, I apologize then,â Yang Ruxin hastily tugged at the corner of her mouth, âIâll leave right awayâŠâ She then turned to run out.
However, just as she reached the door, she was suddenly pulled back.
Caught off-guard, she stumbled and fell right into his arms, hastily attempting to push him away.
However, he restrained her, causing her to frown, âYouâŠâ
âXinxin, I was almost fooled by you,â Qi Jingyun steadied his arms and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, âBut arenât you aware that the more you do this, the more interested I become?
What does it matter if youâre married?
If I were to offer him many beauties, do you think he would refuse?â
Yang Ruxinâs expression darkened, âLet go.â
Qi Jingyun was slightly startled, the girlâs demeanor had changed in an instant, her aura turning colder than his, yet he didnât mind, âAs I said, you deserve better choices.
What I can offer you, Gu Qingheng cannot.
Youâre meant for better.â
