"What did you say?" Gu Qingheng got up and brought over the candle.
"Li Mingyin was found." Yang Ruxin handed over a note, "Sheâs in the cellar of the Li Residence, but sheâs disfigured. However, the Ming Family doesnât mind, and it seems they still want to go through with the engagement."
"The Alliance Hierarch is indeed upright and honest." Gu Qingheng admired, "The Ming Familyâs reputation is also very good. If Li Mingyin marries into their family, it shouldnât be a bad thing."
"But after what Ming Mo and Li Mingyin have been through... will they really be happy?" Yang Ruxin sighed.
"Thatâs their own business." Gu Qingheng put an arm around Yang Ruxinâs shoulder, "Happiness is something you have to manage yourself, itâs not given by others. Hasnât everyone gone through something?"
"Makes sense." Yang Ruxin tapped Gu Qinghengâs nose, then opened the second note, her expression turning a bit peculiar.
"Whatâs wrong?" Gu Qingheng frowned.
Yang Ruxin handed over the note.
"What?!" Gu Qingheng exclaimed upon reading it, "They were that quick? We havenât even gotten there yet."
"Why compare with us?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at Gu Qingheng, "The problem now is, Shangguan Fei doesnât have family, so youâre his family, and you have to propose to the Du Family."
Du Man was in Jin City accompanying Shangguan Fei, and it seems they couldnât resist, and now sheâs pregnant.
Although they had long eyed each other, and the Du Family has accepted him as their son-in-law, it wasnât official yet, and if her belly shows, it would affect Du Manâs reputation.
"That kidâs faster than me?" Gu Qingheng looked at the note, his expression a bit unpleasant.
"Faster in what?" Yang Ruxin didnât catch on immediately.
"The baby." Gu Qingheng looked at Yang Ruxin, "Weâve been together for quite some time, how come heâs becoming a dad before me?"
Yang Ruxin was wide-eyed, how would she know?
"Could it be that Iâm not diligent enough?" Gu Qingheng said, putting the note down, then looked intensely at Yang Ruxin, "Perhaps weâve done too little."
"What do you want to do?" Yang Ruxin swallowed, feeling like this guy was about to turn beastly any second.
"Well, of course, Iâd want to take action with you." Gu Qingheng really lunged over, "It looks like from now on, Iâll need to work three times a day, the more the better."
"Gu Qingheng, you beast." Yang Ruxin couldnât help but scream, "I want to..." What she wanted was lost in silence, but it certainly sparked the imagination.
After more than an hour, the first round of the battle ended.
"Gu Qingheng, are you crazy?" Yang Ruxin felt even her toes were sore, but thankfully she didnât faint right away. She poked his chest, not too happy, "You trying to exhaust me to death so you can find other vixens, huh?"
"Xinxin, they say thereâs only exhausted oxen, not land thatâs worn out." Gu Qingheng grasped Yang Ruxinâs hand and kissed it, his face full of smiles.
"You..."
"Just tell me how it was earlier." Gu Qinghengâs voice was hoarse and seductive, almost magical.
"This question..." Yang Ruxin smiled lazily, "Itâs hard to answer."
"Why?"
"Because..." Yang Ruxin daringly hooked his neck with her hand, "because the experience wasnât deep enough. If it could be a bit more profound... ah..." Before she could finish, she was filled by him again.
