Chapter 361: Think Carefully (Second Update)_1
"Is Big Brother still so lacking in confidence?" Gu Yao went over and placed his hand on Gu Qingheng’s shoulder, "Don’t say that His Highness has already asked Dao Xuzi to come, what if it really can’t be cured?" He paused for a moment, "Big Brother, I only ask you one thing—are you really willing to see her married off to another man?"
"I..." Gu Qingheng suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Yes, he had been obsessing over his health issues this whole time, but on the other hand, if it truly couldn’t be cured, would he really be willing to watch her marry someone else, have children with him, and then never be able to speak intimately with her again? Shaking his head subconsciously, no, he was not willing.
Gu Yao patted Gu Qingheng’s shoulder: "I’ve heard those few aunts at the riverside chatting about her while washing clothes these past few days, mentioning that she has come of age for marriage..."
Gu Qingheng immediately fell into deep thought. Indeed, even though Ruxin wasn’t particularly dazzling now, she would eventually bloom completely, and when that time came, she would certainly attract the attention of many—then...
"Big Brother, let me put it the other way around, aside from you who could indulge her like this, silently protect her, both overtly and covertly, once she marries another man, do you think that man would be willing to let her show her face in public? Or to put it another way, can he protect her?" Gu Yao looked at Gu Qingheng, "Even more seriously, could anyone believe in her unconditionally?"
Yang Ruxin was a person with secrets. Although she herself had never spoken of it, having been in contact with her for so long, he could feel it, and Big Brother felt it too. But Big Brother had instructed him not to ask anything, just to trust unconditionally, so he didn’t ask. But would others do the same?
"Stop it," Gu Qingheng suddenly raised his hand to signal, "Let me think this over."
Yang Ruxin was unaware that next door, Gu Yao was persuading Gu Qingheng to confess his feelings for her because an uninvited guest had arrived at her home.
