Yang Ruxin, who had been examining the courtyard, was startled and quickly stepped aside, "How can you just appear out of nowhere like this? Can’t you make so noise before you co over? It scared ." As she spoke, she rolled her eyes unwittingly.
Qi Jingyun chuckled, "I apologize to you on behalf of the prince." Strangely, he found the eye-rolling action of the woman to be quite adorable.
Yang Ruxin frowned instead. The way he looked at her... why did it remind her of a dog spotting a at bun? Though the analogy wasn’t very elegant, it was absolutely vivid.
"What do you think of this shop?" Qi Jingyun saw Yang Ruxin showing a guarded expression, and quickly changed the subject, "There are also ten private rooms upstairs."
Actually, Qi Jingyun himself was quite exhausted. Ever since he was young, he’d known he didn’t want to rely on his own efforts to fight for whatever he desired, because he wasn’t born of the Empress, wasn’t long and legitimate; that position would never be his. So he worked hard from a young age.
When it ca to won, he always felt it was just like that. It didn’t matter whether he liked them or not; he would find a woman with background to be his princess, and if he found soone pleasing to the eye, he could resolve physical needs.
In the past, he disdained to fight for anything, because usually, as long as he liked sothing, a glance would suffice to claim it.
But this village girl had dealt a blow to his self-confidence.
Although he always thought it was because she was good at making money, he now had to admit that the feeling within his heart seed sowhat different.
What troubled him, however, was that this woman who made him feel different was soone else’s wife, and that soone else was a man who could make any man feel inadequate.
"Not bad." Yang Ruxin nodded, "The place is big enough, and the location is suitable." She paused, "In a few days, I’ll give you the renovation blueprints, and then you can have soone start the renovations. anwhile, you can also recruit so staff for training..."
"Alright." Qi Jingyun nodded with a smile, "I’ll have all this sorted out before I go on a campaign."
Upon hearing the word ’campaign,’ Yang Ruxin frowned slightly, her gaze towards Qi Jingyun beca a bit more complex.
"Are you worried about ?" Qi Jingyun felt quite pleased.
"You’re overthinking it." Yang Ruxin smiled, "However, let’s find sowhere I can talk to you alone for a mont..."
Qi Jingyun gestured for her to proceed.
The two went upstairs to one of the rooms, which was furnished with tables and chairs.
Qi Jingyun didn’t let anyone co in, and Yang Ruxin had Du Juan guard the door.
"Have a seat." Qi Jingyun motioned, then personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. He sat down on a chair himself, smilingly watching Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin sat down across from him, raising her eyes to et his gaze, "Prince, there’s no one else here today, so I don’t want to beat around the bush; let’s get straight to the point. Otherwise, I find you irritating to look at."
Qi Jingyun frowned, wondering what was so irritating about himself?
"Prince, you have designs on ." Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow, "You even want to make your woman, am I right?"
Qi Jingyun’s expression froze montarily, thinking this woman was direct enough, then he laughed, "Why don’t you say I like you? Like how Gu Qingheng likes you. So, wanting you to beco my woman isn’t wrong, is it?" He paused, "Then let’s be straightforward now; Xinxin, do you want to beco my woman?"
