Chapter 965: Hopelessly Devoted (2)
"Unless it’s the doing of Elder Madam Xie behind the scenes." Gu Qingheng laughed, "The Xie Family lineage has been thin because it’s been passed down through single male heirs for several generations, and also because their family rule has been not to take concubines, so the heirs have always been few and far between. Yet, this Xie Tai should be twenty-four or twenty-five by now, but he still hasn’t married..."
"Does he have some kind of issue?"
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Qingheng’s lips twitched, "It’s because he had a fiancée once, but she died four years ago trying to save him, so..." he sighed faintly, "At that time, he even caused a fuss about becoming a monk, and it was only Elder Madam Xie threatening to die that prevented him from renouncing the world..."
"So he’s a man of deep affection," Yang Ruxin nodded, suddenly thinking of something, "Gu Qingheng, if one day I’m no longer around, you remember you have to live well, okay? You’re not allowed to become a monk or seek death, and you must not refuse to marry..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gu Qingheng’s face darkened, and he even raised his hand to smack her bottom.
"Where are you hitting?"
"Who asked you to talk nonsense?"
"What I’m saying is the truth, isn’t it? The deceased has passed on, but the living must live even better. That’s the only way to let the departed rest in peace..." Yang Ruxin laughed, "However, I still hope that we can grow old together, so from now on, we both need to take good care of ourselves..."
"Anyhow, Xinxin, if you dare to leave me, I definitely won’t be able to live on alone... Anyway, by that time, you won’t be able to control what I do..." Gu Qingheng’s tone even carried a hint of showing off.
"Alright, I get it." Yang Ruxin pinched Gu Qingheng’s ear a bit annoyed, "Let’s not talk about this anymore."
