"Dragging him down, huh..." Yang Ruxin touched her chin, "That seems somewhat reasonable..."
"Whatās reasonable about that?" Gu Qingheng furrowed his brows, "Iāll succeed by my own abilities; my woman only needs to enjoy the glory I bring..."
"But Brother Gu, the path of an official isnāt that simple..." Li Mingyinās tone was firm, "Otherwise, why would there be so many political marriages?"
"To me, it is very simple." Gu Qinghengās face showed a hint of arrogance.
"Miss Li, I truly admire your persistence." Yang Ruxin sighed, "Itās just that, your persistence is really misdirected..."
"I donāt think Iām wrong, I just hope that someone like Brother Gu can go further and better, instead of being dragged down by a country girl, and regretting it in pain later..."
"Well, Iāll tell you this, Iām willing to drag him down, what can you do about it?" Yang Ruxin also got fired up, Where does this person get their confidence? Where does this person get the nerve? Damn, do they really think Iām a country girl thatās easy to bully?
"You..."
"Gu Qingheng, are you willing to let me drag you down?" Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng, her tone filled with sparks.
"Yes, of course," Gu Qingheng hurriedly nodded, very seriously, "Not just willing to let you drag me down, whichever leg you like, you can drag. Even this blanket, you can pull it too..."
Seeing such a handsome man speaking so brazenly, Yang Ruxin couldnāt hold it in and burst out laughing. The anger she felt before vanished, really unworthy of getting angry over a such self-righteous woman.
Li Mingyin didnāt understand at first, but being smart, she quickly realized what was said and her pretty face blushed: "You... you guys..."
"Letās go, my dear." Yang Ruxin really couldnāt be bothered with Li Mingyin anymore, instead, she reached up to hook Gu Qinghengās chin, "Letās go back to the room. I need to check your legs properly, see which way of pulling feels the most... exhilarating..." She then turned around and left.
Gu Qingheng hurriedly followed: "Sure thing, Madam, I guarantee satisfaction and happiness..."
Shadow One and Shadow Three, not far away, shook their heads, thinking brother, can you have some restraint?
Li Mingyin stood there with a flushed face watching the two walk away, tears falling down her face. After a long time, she took a deep breath, turned around, and ran away. She just couldnāt stay any longer.
But just as she reached the entrance of her own tent, she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from afar and couldnāt help but look back, only to see three fast horses galloping towards her, and the soldiers guarding didnāt stop them.
Li Mingyin narrowed her eyes slightly, recognizing the newcomer as Prince Qi Jingyi, then chose not to enter her tent, but turned around to greet him: "Greetings to Prince Jingyi."
Qi Jingyi had already dismounted from his horse, holding up his hand: "Miss Li, please dispense with the formalities." Then he walked towards Gu Qinghengās tent: "Gu Qingheng..."
But right at the tent entrance, he was stopped by Shadow One and Shadow Three.
"What is it?" Qi Jingyi frowned.
"Iāll go in and inform them, just a moment, Your Highness." Shangguan Fei, Shadow Three, smiled slightly, "Please wait. Our big brother and sister-in-law are having a tender moment; it would be quite inappropriate for someone to burst in."
"I need permission?" Qi Jingyi incredulously widened his eyes, "Are you kidding me?"
"Prince, please be patient." Xiaxia, Shadow One, smiled, "This is an order from our elder sister-in-law; anyone who intrudes will be treated as bad luck if they get poisoned..."
