Gu Qingheng paused slightly, "Baiwei Restaurant has always been without a rival."
"That’s about to change," Yang Ruxin spread her hands and then briefly summarized the situation, "That’s how things are. Unfortunately, I’ve let down your kindness."
"What are you saying?" Gu Qingheng shook his head, "You did the right thing." He paused, "I just think that Baiwei Restaurant is very large, not only here but also in Prefectural City and Beijing. If you could collaborate with them, sales would be guaranteed, but since they are so perfunctory, there’s no need to please them."
"I’m glad you understand..."
"Whatever you do, I can understand." Gu Qingheng smiled, "I was just thinking, what if the Shen Family regrets it after some time?"
Yang Ruxin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, I’ve thought about that too. Let them regret it. But..." She suddenly restrained her smile, "Would Qi Yong be unhappy about this? I know he has a high status, just in case..."
"Don’t worry about that, the Shen Family isn’t that influential." Gu Qingheng shook his head, "Besides, I’m still here. Even though now I..." He paused and then smiled, "I still have the ability to protect you."
Yang Ruxin blinked and walked up to Gu Qingheng, bending down slightly, "Gu Qingheng, why are you so good to me?" She certainly knew that if it weren’t for his support behind the scenes, she wouldn’t have had the confidence to walk away from Baiwei Restaurant so decisively.
"Because..." Gu Qingheng, sensing Yang Ruxin’s breath, tilted his head back slightly, "because you are different."
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but close her eyes for a moment. This blind man was definitely a master at flirting, but she genuinely liked Gu Qingheng in this way, so vibrant, not like when she first met him, shrouded in a air of deathliness. She then playfully smiled, "In what way am I different?"
Gu Qingheng’s face turned slightly red, appearing a bit awkward, "Well... it’s just different..."
"Haha..." Yang Ruxin laughed as she stood up straight, "I get it, different." Then she reached out to pat his... She had intended to pat his shoulder, but her hand turned mid-air and pinched his cheek instead, "Since that’s the case, then I’m at ease. I’m heading back now." With that, she quickly ran off.
Gu Qingheng had wanted to grab Yang Ruxin’s hand, but this time she ran too fast, and he failed to catch her. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, clenched his hand and placed it on his knee. He really, really wanted to keep talking with her, but he also knew that she had many family responsibilities and many younger siblings to look after, so he let it go. However, he couldn’t help but call out loudly after her, "Be careful."
"Brother." After Yang Ruxin had left, Gu Yao came out.
Gu Qingheng nodded, but his face was still turned toward the doorway.
"Brother, there’s something I think..." Gu Yao hesitated.
"What is it?" Gu Qingheng turned his wheelchair around to face Gu Yao, "Do we still need to beat around the bush with each other?"
"Since Brother likes Xinxin, why not tell her straightforwardly?" Gu Yao let out a small sigh.
"I am like this..." Gu Qingheng gave a bitter smile, "Wouldn’t that be harming her?"
