Gu Qingheng naturally wouldnât wait for Yang Ruxinâs response, instead he lowered his head and kissed her again.
Unable to go further, he could only satisfy his cravings with kisses.
Yang Ruxin didnât dare to struggle much, after all, she heard that men in the morning seemed to be... more like that, so she let him do as he pleased.
Fortunately, Gu Qingheng had impressive self-control and didnât take things to the final step.
However, by the time they parted again, they were both panting heavily, although they hadnât gone all the way, theyâd done everything else.
"Wife, when will you finally grow up?" Gu Qingheng buried his head in Yang Ruxinâs shoulder and sighed slightly.
"Maybe Iâll never grow up in this life." Yang Ruxin sighed wistfully, "Or maybe Iâm a stone girl or something, then you..."
Gu Qingheng suddenly kissed her lips, interrupting her words, then looked seriously into her eyes: "Even if youâre a stone, youâre still my only wife, Yang Ruxin, for this life..."
"But..."
"No buts." Gu Qingheng pressed his hand on Yang Ruxinâs lips, "If what you said is true, then Iâll castrate myself, and then weâll be a perfect match..."
Yang Ruxinâs nose tingled: "You fool..."
Gu Qingheng just laughed: "Youâre more important to me than you think, Xinxin, so never say âwhat ifâ. Iâll believe you seriously."
"Aheng, donât worry, Heaven wonât be so cruel, itâll definitely let me grow up..." In truth, Yang Ruxin wanted to tell him the truth, but she thought it better to wait until after her first period. Anyway, sheâd mentioned last time that after clearing her meridians and expelling toxic blood, sheâd definitely have her first period within a month, and now itâs been ten days. So, when theyâre together, sheâll have her small days, and it wonât be too late to say then.
"I think so too." Gu Qingheng nodded with a smile, "But, we should set out." There were still many matters waiting for him in the capital.
Yang Ruxin nodded and got up to wash up.
During breakfast, Yang Ruxin deliberately observed Du Juan and Du Yunpeng, discovering that they hadnât changed at all, they didnât even have the gentle glances of couples. She couldnât help but sigh, this pair was truly negotiating their relationship.
After breakfast, they left the inn, Shadow One and Gu Qiao were driving a carriage outside, with Shadow Six and Shadow Seven standing nearby. When Yang Ruxin came down, they hurried to greet her.
"Thank you for your hard work," Yang Ruxin smiled and then, holding Gu Qinghengâs hand, jumped onto the carriage.
Du Juan got onto the carriage to accompany Yang Ruxin, while Du Yunpeng sat on the bar with Shadow One, driving the carriage.
Gu Qingheng led the group on horseback.
Since the innâs location was quite remote, they smoothly left Haijin City. Xiaobai was waiting by the roadside with two horses, and when he saw them coming, he quickly leapt onto the carriage, entering the compartment while Du Juan and Du Yunpeng mounted their own horses.
However, they hadnât gone far when the sound of urgent hoofbeats came from behind, and soon, several fast horses caught up: "General Gu."
Inside the carriage, Yang Ruxin frowned, this person truly was a relentless spirit, huh?
"Subordinate greets the Prince," Gu Qingheng had no choice but to dismount and salute.
"No need for formalities," Qi Jingyun also dismounted, "The Imperial Noble Concubineâs birthday is approaching, General Gu, Father has ordered you to oversee the inner cityâs security, yet youâve left the capital? This..."
