Yu Qingge walked away cheerfully, she had been eyeing that little snake for a long time. Unfortunately, this creature only recognized Yang Ruxin as its master. To her, well, it would accompany her for a few days, but it would never see her as its master. This made her quite gloomy, but whatever, as long as she followed her sister, it didnât matter if this guy recognized her or not.
When there were only two people left in the pavilion, Yang Ruxin looked up at Li Mingyin: "Miss Li, just say what you want to say."
"Yang Ruxin, last time I said I wanted to follow you, and you refused. Is it because youâre afraid that once Iâm by your side, spending day and night with General Gu, heâll start liking me?" Li Mingyin looked at Yang Ruxin seriously, asking in an earnest manner.
Yang Ruxin looked steadily at Li Mingyin for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Miss Li, youâre overthinking it."
Li Mingyin frowned.
"Firstly, Iâm never afraid of him liking anyone else." Yang Ruxin poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it, "Because if he really likes someone else, then that man isnât mine. I might be sad and angry, but I definitely wonât want him anymore."
Li Mingyinâs frown deepened.
"Secondly, Iâm not trying to discourage you. Though youâre very beautiful, and you have a noble background, youâre simply not his type." Yang Ruxin drank the tea and then played with the teacup, "So, youâre overthinking it."
"Then why?"
"Because I donât like trouble." Yang Ruxin looked up, "Knowing you have that intention, if I still bring you along, doesnât that mean Iâm out of my mind? Instead of always being wary of the people around me, Iâd rather spend that time doing something meaningful, like researching a recipe, telling stories to kids, or perhaps planting some vegetables in the field, donât you think?"
"Oh, by the way, quite a few women covet him, and their fates..." Yang Ruxin set down the teacup and stood up, "You can find out for yourself." After saying this, she turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Li Mingyin also stood up.
"Still not giving up?" Yang Ruxin turned back to glance at her contemptuously, "Feel free to try whatever tricks you have, but I can tell you clearly, youâll be the one to regret it for sure. So, for General Liâs sake, let me give you a word of advice: cherish the people in front of you; grasping the happiness in front of you is whatâs real."
"Hehe." Li Mingyin chuckled, "Yang Ruxin, you really are..."
Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yang Ruxin." Li Mingyin walked up to Yang Ruxin and extended her hand, "I did like Gu Qingheng, but thatâs in the past."
Yang Ruxinâs eyes flashed for a moment.
"Iâm not a fool; I wonât do anything to shame myself or my family, and I wonât let myself spend the rest of my life in regret." Li Mingyin looked at Yang Ruxin, "So, the reason I asked you here today isnât because of a man, but because I want to be friends with you."
Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Friends?"
"Yes, friends." Li Mingyin persistently extended her hand, "The kind of friends who can talk to each other and not rival lovers filled with suspicion."
"Friends are fine, but Iâm not a person who likes to listen; I prefer to see." Yang Ruxin raised her hand and gave Li Mingyinâs hand a pat, "So show me." With that, she turned and left the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
Li Mingyin looked at her own palm, the corners of her mouth curving into an enigmatic smile.
