Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: I Can Protect My Own People (1)

“Zhongxia, being beautiful isn’t your fault,” Yang Ruxin steadied her by her shoulders. “Remember this, I don’t want anyone by my side who belittles themselves. A girl’s appearance is a gift from her parents; you can’t scorn it, no matter what it looks like. Whether pretty or not, you must keep yourself tidy and looking good, especially the girls around me…” She pointed to her chest, “From now on, no more binding, it’s bad for your health…” She couldn’t help envying such a large chest; this girl still bound it so tightly, how could it compare to her own modest ones?

“Miss Xinxin?” Zhongxia’s cheeks flushed red. Her chest was bigger than that of other girls her age, and she was often ridiculed for being indecent. She had no choice but to bind it tightly with cloth strips, never expecting her mistress to notice.

“As long as you carry yourself with dignity and walk straight, then you should know, I can protect anyone by my side,” Yang Ruxin smiled slightly. “Of course, if you behave improperly, I can make you wish you were dead.”

Zhongxia couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, when you have the chance to come home with me, you’ll see that there are many beautiful girls in my family,” Yang Ruxin said and tossed a porcelain bottle her way, “Apply this medicine yourself, it won’t leave a scar.”

Zhongxia’s eyes blurred again.

Guan Wanshuang’s residence was right by West Lake, in an excellent location. A property like this, if it were in the future, would probably be worth hundreds of millions, but now it had only cost five thousand taels—truly a bargain. However, the fact that Wanshuang had moved in first for a couple of days annoyed her, although he was confined to a side room.

“Miss Xinxin, shall I hire a carriage?” Zhongxia looked at Yang Ruxin, as there was a long way to go to return home from here.

“No need,” Yang Ruxin shook her head. “The weather is nice today, let’s go for a stroll.” After a pause, she added, “Also, when there are no outsiders around, no need to call me ‘miss’ or to speak so formally, just call me ‘Sister Ruxin.'”

Zhongxia was startled briefly but nodded her head quickly.

Because the weather was favorable, there were quite a few people out and about, enjoying various snacks.

“There’s lotus root starch for sale over there, go get us two bowls,” Yang Ruxin told her, eyeing an elderly couple tending a stall nearby with a few stools placed around it, suddenly craving it. “I’ll go and buy some red bean buns.”

“Okay.” Zhongxia nodded, hastened her steps, and ran ahead. “Granny, two bowls of lotus root starch, please.”

“Right away!” The old lady hurriedly put on a smiling face. “Miss, please take a seat. Our lotus root starch is homemade, not only clean but also tasty…”

Zhongxia took out ten coins, placed them down, and then sat on one of the stools.

Not far away, several men wandering around caught sight of Zhongxia and exchanged glances, unable to hide their delighted expressions. After a day of strolling, they had finally found someone attractive, and not just attractive—she was quite enticing.

So, the men approached her.

Meanwhile, the old lady had put two bowls of lotus root starch on the table in front of Zhongxia.

Zhongxia turned her head and saw Yang Ruxin approaching with red bean buns in hand. She stood up to go meet her but was blocked by four men, frowning involuntarily: “What… what are you trying to do?”

“What are we trying to do? Naturally, we want to get cozy with you,” one of the men leered at her, looking her up and down. “What a catch you are, just looking at you is seductive. Which establishment are you from? I’ll come and patronize…”
