"I bought this shop, and even this man..." Although Li Cuicui’s hair had been cut by Gu Qingheng, her obsession with him only grew stronger. Thus, upon hearing that Yang Ruxin’s shop was opening today and that Gu Qingheng would be there, she hurried over. As expected, she laid eyes on the man she had been yearning for day and night.
"Miss Li really knows how to throw her weight around with her wealth," Yang Ruxin sneered, "but why should I agree?" If it hadn’t been in her own shop, she would have beaten Li first before saying anything.
"Why wouldn’t you..." Li Cuicui had wanted to argue with Yang Ruxin, but she caught sight of a silver dagger twinkling in Gu Qingheng’s hand and suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
A flash of light glittered in Yang Ruxin’s eyes.
"Miss Li, the first time you pestered me I cut your hair, but I’m not a patient person," Gu Qingheng suddenly looked up, his gaze meeting Li Cuicui’s with no trace of warmth, "If you don’t leave by the count of three..." He raised the dagger as he spoke.
"Ah..." Li Cuicui didn’t wait for Gu Qingheng to start counting; she screamed in fright and turned to run, bumping into a customer who had just entered. She was cursed with "Are you sick?"
Yang Ruxin burst into laughter: "You really have no sympathy for women."
"In my heart, those people are just a matter of being a man or a woman," Gu Qingheng put away the dagger and took hold of Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Only Xin’er is the treasure of my heart."
"Haha." Yang Ruxin felt sweet inside; every woman likes to hear sweet nothings. The only difference is that some women depend on sweet nothings as a lifeline, losing their drive without them, while others take them as a pleasant bonus—happy to have them but indifferent if not. She was quite happy at the moment and laughed heartily without a care, "All right, I know I’m precious, but..." A sly glint flickered in her eyes, "Since you’re here, you can’t escape doing some work for the shop, right?"
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Qingheng had a bad feeling.
"I’m planning to make you a live advertisement," Yang Ruxin pushed Gu Qingheng to a spot by the entrance, "Haven’t you noticed? Everyone that comes in takes a second look at you; they admire your beauty. So, you’ll greet guests here..."
Gu Qingheng’s lips twitched, then his face looked pitiful.
"Just welcome ten customers, and you’re done," said Yang Ruxin with a hint of jealousy she hadn’t noticed herself.
Gu Qingheng understood that the young lady was a bit angry, and he didn’t refuse but indulgently smiled: "Alright." He promptly started to greet the entering customers with "Welcome."
Then every newcomer was taken aback by his beauty, especially some of the women, who even blushed secretly and couldn’t help looking back at him as they passed.
Yang Ruxin felt a bit aggrieved; she had some regrets.
Across the street from the shop, a small red sedan stopped there.
"Miss, we have arrived." A maid in a green jacket and skirt leaned close to the sedan and spoke.
"Chun Tao, go in and buy a couple for us to try," a delicate voice came from the sedan.
The maid nodded and ran into the store. Upon seeing Gu Qingheng, her cheeks instantly reddened. Where did this stunningly beautiful man come from? She had even forgotten what she came in for.
