"Big brother, look at her, she’s so rude... spouting all this talk about love and affection without any shame," Gu Yao complained to Gu Qingheng, and before Qingheng could say anything, suddenly remembered something, "Yang Dani, you’re not allowed to call me Little Yaozi." That’s what the eunuchs in the palace are called.
"Little Yaozi, Little Yaozi..." Yang Ruxin intentionally shouted a few more times.
"You..." Gu Yao was so frustrated that he stomped his foot, "You believe I won’t beat you up?"
"Come on then, think I’m scared?" Yang Ruxin said as she began to roll up her sleeves.
"You really are a granny..." Gu Yao was exasperated.
"No need to give me such a high-ranking title, just call me Sister Xin from now on..." Yang Ruxin said grandly with a wave of her hand.
"You’re getting all worked up over being called fat," Gu Yao scoffed. He was, after all, older than her. Besides, in the future, he might even be addressing her as sister-in-law. With that thought, he suddenly looked at his brother and smiled. After all, his earlier questions were all for the sake of his big brother.
Gu Qingheng was beaming with joy, fully aware of Gu Yao’s well-intentioned efforts.
When Yang Ruxin turned around, she was dazzled by that radiant smile and found herself unable to look away. How could a face be so flawless? They were all human, so why did some look so infuriatingly gorgeous?
She also felt a pang of regret, wondering how much more enchanting those starry eyes would be if they could shine brighter.
"Hey." Gu Yao caught the lovestruck look on Yang Ruxin’s face and quickly reached out to wave his hand, "Why are you drooling over my big brother? Lovesick fool!"
Yang Ruxin immediately snapped back to reality and, on impulse, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth. It was indeed a bit damp, and she felt a bit embarrassed for having drooled, but she quickly regained her composure: "Of course, because your big brother is handsome."
Gu Qingheng’s expression turned slightly unnatural. He knew he was good-looking, but for a long time, he had despised this beauty. If it weren’t for his looks, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. However, at this moment, he felt strangely happy. His face was useful after all because this girl liked it.
"You really have no shame." Gu Yao’s cheeks reddened even more.
"How am I shameless?" Yang Ruxin put her hands on her hips and faced Gu Yao, "It is said that ’food and love are natural desires.’ Your big brother is handsome; it’s a blessing from the heavens, meant to please and delight the eyes of those who see him. What’s wrong with me looking? It’s not like he lost a piece of flesh. Besides, he doesn’t mind, so what gives you the right to object?" She then poked Gu Qingheng, "Big brother Gu, are you going to let me look or not?"
"If Xinxin likes it, then it’s good..." Gu Qingheng knew he must be blushing, so he slightly lowered his head, not wanting the other person to see his embarrassment.
"Look, look..." Hearing that slightly hoarse voice, Yang Ruxin’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened for a moment, but she disregarded the unusual sensation and instead looked at Gu Yao triumphantly, "The boss has given consent, you’ve got no say. Besides, with a face like yours, I wouldn’t even want to see it if you paid me..." She then stroked her chin and gazed at Gu Yao, "I really wonder, how come you and your brother are both men, both fed on rice and flour growing up, yet Big brother Gu is so handsome and you’re just... disappointing?"
"You...you..." Gu Yao was not articulate and couldn’t outtalk Yang Ruxin, leaving him so frustrated that he could only turn away, "A good man doesn’t fight with a woman..."
