Gong Juechen didn’t care at all whether Xiao Changyi spoke or not and continued, "Before, I had my doubts whether Lanlan truly liked my sister. But now, seeing Lanlan risking his life for my sister, I’m reassured. My sister is indeed not married to the wrong person."
An Jing had long realized that Meng Lanqing was smitten with Gong Juese, so she wasn’t at all surprised by Meng Lanqing’s reckless act to save Gong Juese today.
Perhaps at first Meng Lanqing genuinely disliked Gong Juese, but now, Meng Lanqing’s affection for Gong Juese couldn’t be more real.
"Originally," Gong Juechen added, "if you had killed my sister, I would definitely have taken issue with you; if you had hurt my sister, I would have taken issue with you as well. But now, Lanlan has pushed my sister away in time, preventing you from killing her or even hurting her. Bearing in mind that I always come here to mooch off your meals, I’ll be magnanimous and let today’s incident slide. But in the future, you can’t be so rash anymore. Not everyone will be as forgiving as I am and let things go."
Xiao Changyi continued to feed the child rice paste, completely ignoring Gong Juechen.
An Jing simply felt that Gong Juechen was both pretentious and despicable.
"Lanlan and Sese have already gone back to the county. With Lanlan being so severely injured, Sese wants me to go with them to the county. Actually, I’d like to go, too, since Lanlan is my brother-in-law and it would be better to live under the same roof as a doctor when he’s . But I asked Jade Jade, and she refused to go with me to the county. My wife is here; how could I justify going to live in the county? After much consideration, I’ve decided to stay here. After all, my brother-in-law is not as important as my wife, don’t you think so?"
Speechless for a moment, An Jing finally exclaimed in amazement, "Wild Goose Jade actually spoke to you?"
As far as she knew, Wild Goose Jade had never said a word to him.
"Then what did you mean when you said you asked her and that she refused to go to the county with you?"
"I asked her at the door of her room, didn’t I? Her continued ignoring of me means she refuses to go to the county with me, right?"
Gong Juechen’s peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that she doesn’t want to go to the county with me, not because she’s unwilling, but because she’s too shy?"
Now An Jing replied irritably, "Her ignoring you should clearly convey her stance; she won’t go to the county with you." She paused for a moment, "Your delusions are quite severe."
Gong Juechen wasn’t angry; instead, he smiled, "I call this being thorough."
An Jing had no desire to bother with Gong Juechen anymore.
But Gong Juechen kept asking, "Jingjing, when will you stop making Zhuzhu act like a watchdog? He’s always guarding the door to my wife’s room, it really makes me feel pity for him."
An Jing’s eyes slanted in an instant, "What watchdog? I made him do that to prevent you from attempting anything improper towards Wild Goose Jade again! Do you know that if she were any ordinary girl who found out that you had once taken such liberties with her, she would have taken her life long ago for the sake of her reputation! Stop pretending; I truly despise you for acting , you’re despicable and sleazy, like some scoundrel!"
Gong Juechen wore a pained expression, "But that’s just who I am..."
Then, Gong Juechen’s face was all smiles again, "It’s fine, it’s fine, your disdain doesn’t matter to me in the least."
"So, what do you care about?!" In the end, An Jing still couldn’t help but snap at him.
With a chuckle, Gong Juechen said, "In the past, I cared about my master and my sister. Later, after my master died, I only cared about my sister. But now, I have one more person to care about: my Yao Yao’s wife."
