Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099: Reliable Partner (Part 1)
Yong Cang furrowed his brow slightly, his smile dimming a bit, though you wouldn’t notice unless you looked closely: “General Gu, you’re lucky to have married the most capable woman.”
“That’s right.” Gu Qingheng laughed radiantly, his smile dazzling everyone, “I always knew I was very fortunate to have married the best wife in the world.”
Yong Cang’s frown deepened: “But don’t you feel embarrassed? A man living off a woman…” Before they got married, he went back to his country, and upon returning, they were already wed, which made him feel sowhat uneasy.
Yang Ruxin frowned, why did Yong Cang bring such resentnt upon his arrival?
Actually, Yong Cang felt conflicted. It was hard to say he truly liked Yang Ruxin. Initially, he noticed her because of the Divine Sauce. Later, he engineered an acquaintance though she was very guarded, and he had to thicken his skin to approach her repeatedly.
But the closer he got to Yang Ruxin, the more he realized her capability.
Whoever possessed such a woman essentially owned a mountain of gold.
This ti he returned to his country; if not for nurous occurrences, he would have co back sooner, partnered with her in business, and gradually won her heart… As for her advocacy against concubines, once married, she wouldn’t be the one calling the shots.
But he was delayed by the events, and by the ti they t again, she was already soone else’s wife.
“Why should I feel embarrassed?” Gu Qingheng looked at him strangely, “My wife’s capability is sothing to be proud of, right? I’m too happy about it to feel anything else! I enjoy living off her openly, and those wanting to do the sa might not be as lucky as to find such a good wife.”
Yong Cang was imdiately at a loss for words, how is this man’s skin so thick?
Yang Ruxin twitched at the corners of her mouth, barely holding back her laughter; her husband was becoming increasingly adorable.
“Young Master Yun, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.” Gu Qingheng took Yang Ruxin’s hand, “We’ll see you around.”
“Yang… Madam Gu.” Yong Cang hurried forward two steps, stopping them, and changed his form of address, “I ca this ti specifically to discuss cooperation with madam.” Since he couldn’t win her heart for now, he couldn’t afford not to make money—he urgently needed silver, as lots of silver was essential for reclaiming everything that belonged to him.
“Cooperation, huh.” Yang Ruxin hesitated, “I…”
“I’m very sincere.” Yong Cang spoke urgently, “Your products only sell in the Great Xuan Dynasty, which is such a waste, right? I can bring them to Wa Country and sell them across its provinces, and later to Liuqiu or even further.”
Gu Qingheng glanced at Yang Ruxin; he knew about Wa Country and so surrounding islands, but were there really countries beyond that?
But he noticed Yang Ruxin was very calm, not at all surprised, as if she already knew the details Yong Cang ntioned.
How much more was his little wife hiding?
“You’re making tempted.” Yang Ruxin smiled, “It’s hard to refuse you.”
“You’re a businesswoman; naturally, you won’t refuse if you want to profit.” Yong Cang was determined to get what he wanted, “I’ll be a very reliable collaborator.”
