Erya suddenly looked up, her eyes shining brightly as she nodded vigorously. She liked her eldest cousin, liked her aunty, and liked everything here. Naturally, she would be happy if she really didn’t have to go back...
"Now to go find Sister Mimi and Sister Xiaobao to eat some meat..."
Although Erya was young, her sadness faded quickly, especially with the promise of meat, and she joyfully ran out...
Yang Ruxin sighed. She was also someone with a soft heart. Oh well, she would just have to be more patient with Xun Hui in the future.
"Xinxin." Gu Qingheng wheeled himself to the doorway. "I’ll help you with the fire..."
Yang Ruxin went over to him and pushed him to the stove, helping him sit down on the bench.
"You were angry just now." Gu Qingheng spoke. "I guess it was about the old house matters, and you got angry with your mother and your second sister, right?"
"Not really angry, just that their attitude annoys me..."
"They are just talking..."
"Just talking makes me feel disgusted. If they really go behind my back and do something, I think I’ll go crazy." Yang Ruxin sighed. "I know I’m too anxious, but whenever I see them fussing over the old house, I flare up with an inexplicable anger..."
"I understand." Gu Qingheng took Yang Ruxin’s hand in his. "Maybe..."
"What are you trying to say? Have you also learned to hem and haw?"
"Your mother might be more difficult to change, but you have to see her efforts too. As for your second sister..." Gu Qingheng smacked his lips, "perhaps if she suffers a thorough loss at the hands of the old house again, she might completely change for the better..."
"You mentioning this reminded me of something I almost forgot." Yang Ruxin suddenly remembered the scheming of Yang Baichuan and the Widow Li. "Who could be the person trying to ruin Xun Hui? I’m also anxious about this. I’m just afraid that if something happens..."
"Since that person wants to ruin your mother, it must ultimately benefit him..."
"Benefit?" Yang Ruxin’s brows furrowed slightly, a thought flashing through her mind like lightning, but it was too quick for her to grasp.
"Yes." Gu Qingheng’s face also grew serious. "But since he has a motive, if he didn’t succeed the first time, there will always be a second. I’ll have Gu Yao look into it..."
Yang Ruxin exhaled deeply: "If I catch him, I will make his life a living hell."
"Mhm." Gu Qingheng smiled, then pulled Yang Ruxin forcefully into his embrace and planted a kiss on her lips. "But you can’t be angry now, getting angry is bad for your health..."
"You..." Yang Ruxin glanced at the kitchen door. This small room was very simple and not made of brick or stone, with gaps all around. There were a lot of people in the yard outside, what if someone saw them?
"Don’t worry, I haven’t kissed you in hours." Gu Qingheng didn’t let go. "Don’t you miss me?"
"I..." Unfortunately, before she could say anything else, she was silenced by his kiss, swallowing all her words.
Fortunately, Gu Qingheng was considerate. The kiss was gentle and restrained, not too deep, and he released her before her eyes could become too dazed, even softly tapping her lip: "Are you feeling better now?"
Yang Ruxin felt a bit flustered yet found that her frustration from before had indeed dissipated. She couldn’t help but reach out and gently caress his face: "Gu Qingheng, you are my Peach Of Immortality, absolutely rejuvenating and a cure for all my ills..."
