Chapter 136 He Dared Not
Since Dugu Juechen had spoken, Liu Ruxuan stopped insisting. After all, Xu Fang was just the original owner's mother, and all she needed to do was ensure that she didn't suffer.
“Alright then, if you suffer any injustice, please tell me immediately,” Liu Ruxuan said to Xu Fang. Xu Fang nodded repeatedly, her gaze finally settling on Liu Ruxuan and Dugu Juechen's tightly clasped hands. Liu Ruxuan felt a pang of unease and tried to pull her hand back, but Dugu Juechen wouldn't let go.
“Xuan’er, you and Master Gong…” Xu Fang’s gaze lingered between the two of them.
“Mother, I…” Liu Ruxuan didn’t know what to say.
Dugu Juechen smiled slightly: "Auntie, Xuan'er and I are in love, and we hope you will grant us your blessing." Liu Ruxuan lowered her head shyly upon hearing this.
“This…” Xu Fang knew she wasn’t the head of the household and naturally couldn’t make this decision. She looked at Liu Yancheng. Liu Yancheng frowned slightly. In his mind, Dugu Juechen was just a clerk, nowhere near as high a status as Chu Yin. He definitely had to stop this marriage.
"Master Gong, it's rumored that Prince Chu Jin has always been good to my Xuan'er. I'm just afraid that Prince Chu Jin has feelings for my Xuan'er. Have you thought about this, Master Gong?" Since he couldn't refuse, Liu Yancheng brought up Chu Yin.
Liu Ruxuan looked at Liu Yancheng as if he were an idiot.
Ignoring Liu Yancheng, Dugu Juechen said, "He wouldn't dare." These three words, spoken by Dugu Juechen, exuded a kingly aura, leaving Liu Yancheng speechless for a moment.
"Xuan'er, since everything's alright, let's go." Dugu Juechen turned around and pulled Liu Ruxuan out. As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into Liu Yiting.
Liu Yiting saw a man and a woman, both handsome and beautiful, holding hands tightly. It pained her to see them like that. Why wasn't she the one he was holding hands with?
"Master Gong!" Liu Yiting called out loudly to Dugu Juechen, but Dugu Juechen seemed not to hear her. He pulled Liu Ruxuan and walked on his own. Liu Ruxuan looked at Dugu Juechen's expressionless face and couldn't help but want to laugh. This was the Dugu Juechen who was so good to her. Seeing him like this, what did she have to worry about?
"Xuan girl, what are you laughing at?" Only when Dugu Juechen looked at Liu Ruxuan did his eyes show tenderness.
"I'm laughing at you." Liu Ruxuan's lips curled up.
Seeing this, Liu Yiting became even angrier! How could Gong Yunxuan treat him like this?! Forgetting all about being a proper young lady, she ran up to the two of them: "Master Gong, now that you're here, won't you sit down for a while?"
Dugu Juechen looked at Liu Ruxuan as if to say: Can't you handle this yourself?
Liu Ruxuan and Dugu Juechen, who were on the same page, sighed helplessly: "Liu Yiting, please move aside."
"Master Gong, what's so good about Liu Ruxuan? Why did you choose her? She has neither looks nor cultivation!" Liu Yiting knew that Liu Ruxuan was the head of the Pharmacist Association, but Liu Ruxuan had no spiritual power at all. How long could she last?
"Ting'er, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Liu Yancheng and the other two came out upon hearing the noise. Liu Yancheng saw Liu Yiting yelling at Dugu Juechen without knowing what was good for her, and couldn't help but growl at her.
"Father, Ting'er is not talking nonsense. Liu Ruxuan has no cultivation to begin with. Do you think she can stay in the Pharmacist Association for long? She has no spiritual power at all. How can she convince the people of the Pharmacist Association, let alone the people of the world?" As soon as Liu Yiting finished speaking, she flew to the side. No one saw how Dugu Juechen made his move.
