Upon hearing this, Yang Ruxin stopped worrying; her man was clever after all, catching a minor spy should be a piece of cake.
"I should thank you." Gu Qingheng gathered his composure, reached out to wrap his arms around Yang Ruxin’s shoulders, the corners of his mouth curling into an indulgent smile, "Without you, this would have probably been troubleso."
"Now you thank ? Why didn’t you co to when the trouble first started?" Yang Ruxin poked his belly with her elbow, "Lucky for you, Gu Yao and the others were smart enough to co find ..."
"I was wrong." Gu Qingheng quickly apologized, "I was too presumptuous." That was his first realization after waking up; he thought he could handle everything, but the truth was, he was too full of himself. There were things he wasn’t good at, like dealing with various poisons.
"I know you were worried, afraid I would take risks." Yang Ruxin smiled instead, "But you should know, being a disciple of Dao Xuzi is not just for show. You know how many books that old man forced to morize these days? Nearly one a month... And he forced to practice those theories with wild dogs and owls... Moreover, we’ve established in the past that I can fight alongside you, not just hide behind you..."
"I understand." Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it, "I feel so lucky to have married you."
"Of course." Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, "So, in the future, you better not pick any wildflowers by the roadside..." she said, nudging her mouth towards the side, "And that’s a pretty one too."
Following her gaze, Gu Qingheng’s eyes t Li Mingyin’s lancholic ones, but he quickly looked away, raising his voice slightly, "No matter how nice wildflowers by the roadside are, they have nothing to do with . I have a delicate flower at ho that no one can compare to... If wildflowers beco too annoying, I won’t mind cutting down all of them..."
"Oh, what sweet talk." Yang Ruxin laughed, lifting her hand to hook around his neck, "That earns a reward." Saying this, she pulled his head down and kissed him on the lips.
Li Mingyin’s expression instantly darkened, feeling resigned at heart, yet also unwilling. She couldn’t understand how she ended up less worthy than a village girl? Even if this village girl had superior dical Skills, could she match her in family background or beauty?
Thinking this, Li Mingyin actually stepped forward.
Yang Ruxin frowned at the approaching girl, her eyes slightly narrowing, was this person really verifying the claim that "other people’s flowers sll sweeter"?
Gu Qingheng happily held Yang Ruxin, this girl was so bold, even with so many people around, but he really liked this domineering little gesture of asserting her ownership.
In any case, he found everything about his wife adorable.
"Yang Ruxin, do you really think you’re suitable for Brother Gu?" Li Mingyin mustered all her courage and confronted Yang Ruxin.
"Suitable or not, he’s already my man," Yang Ruxin straightened up from Gu Qingheng’s embrace, then shrugged at Li Mingyin, "So, I’d advise you to not feel so resentful; it really makes you look... rather cheap."
"Brother Gu will pursue a career in the future, my father is a fourth-ranked General, but what about you?" Li Mingyin suppressed the urge to curse and tried to talk calmly, "You’re just a village girl, what can you do to support him? In the future, you might just hold him back...
