Yue Rujing was taken aback and waved his hand irritably, saying, "You’re overthinking it. She’s not that kind of person; she’s just like the genteel young ladies here in Beijing."
Gu Youyou was indifferent to his words and continued to tease, "Then undoubtedly, it’s because you didn’t sing, or you sang inappropriately, which failed to win the girl’s affection. This matter, you might as well ask your senior brother about it. Back when we secretly ventured to Nanzhao to gather herbs, we encountered soone singing a mountain song, and he even sang one for ."
"Really?" Yue Rujing instantly revived, looking surprised.
Whether he sang or not is one thing, but if Senior Brother sang, haha, imagining that scene would be too beautiful.
However... is Senior Brother such a person? Would he sing a mountain song? Could it be that Gu Youyou was just pulling his leg?
Yue Rujing asked sowhat incredulously, "Did Senior Brother really sing? You’re not just ssing with , are you?"
Gu Youyou kicked away a winnowing basket and said, "Do I seem like soone with nothing better to do than to ss with you? You? Are you worth my while?"
Yue Rujing gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "What’s with your tone? Listening to what you said, are you looking down on ?"
"You have such great resources, but can’t even win a girl’s affection. Do you think I need to look up to you?"
Yue Rujing’s face flushed with embarrassnt as he retorted, "It’s not that I’m unwilling. Given my princely heir’s credentials, if I so wished, wouldn’t won line up from here to Zhuzhao Country?"
Gu Youyou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yep, keep boasting, since bragging doesn’t require a fee. However, the truth is so people just can’t woo girls."
Yue Rujing was furious and blocked Gu Youyou’s path, saying, "Who? Co on, tell , who in this world would I, the princely heir, fail to pursue?"
Gu Youyou chuckled and said, "Do you know what Miss Duan said about you after she returned?"
Yue Rujing raised an eyebrow, recalling Miss Duan, and felt she wouldn’t say anything flattering.
"What did she say?"
Gu Youyou chuckled and said, "Want to know? Go ask her yourself."
Yue Rujing: "..."
Gu Youyou bypassed him and headed towards the inner room.
Yue Rujing, anxious, blocked her again and said, "Explain it to clearly, or else you’re spreading rumors."
Gu Youyou looked at him disdainfully and said, "Soone like you? Miss Duan doesn’t even fancy you. Do I need to fabricate anything? Get out of the way."
"Even you despise ? We’re staying in Nanzhao because we risked our lives to save you."
"Oh co on, everyone was dealing with Yu Jizi."
"And that was to save you."
Gu Youyou: "..."
"Shoo, shoo, quickly move aside; there are still two trays left to dry."
"No way, you’re getting more annoying by the day."
"Not moving, huh?" Gu Youyou grinned mischievously.
But that grin seed sowhat sinister.
"What are you up to?" Yue Rujing looked at her cautiously.
Gu Youyou suddenly put on a somber face and shouted into the house.
"Husband, help!"
Yue Rujing: "..."
In a mont, Jin Zijin, who heard the noise, ca out, making Yue Rujing’s arm blocking Gu Youyou’s path feel awkward, unsure whether to release it or keep blocking. Seeing his senior brother’s darkened expression, he realized keeping his arm there wasn’t an option.
"What’s going on?" Jin Zijin looked at Yue Rujing and said, "Ajing, weren’t you accompanying the Commandery Princess? Why are you back so soon."
"I... can’t I co back early?" Yue Rujing, both angry and sulking, suddenly felt unloved by the world.
He stomped his feet and angrily returned to his own room.
