Su Mingyu was even more confused by what he said. "Can you speak in plain English?"
"You and the King of Yu have been flirting so much. Su Yueyue doesn't dare to do anything to the King of Yu, and she hasn't gotten the better of you. So far, it seems that the only way she can get under your skin is to get close to me."
When Gu Ruobai said this, he had an air of detachment, which made Su Mingyu feel helpless. "You mean she deliberately seduced you just to annoy me?"
"What else?" Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows slightly. "It can't be because she likes me, can it? A cripple like me?"
It wasn't that Gu Ruobai underestimated himself. For a woman like Su Yueyue, it was absolutely impossible for her to take a fancy to someone like him who had no chance of ascending to the throne.
Su Mingyu must understand this better than he did. But she was so irritated by Su Yueyue's childish tricks that she forgot to think. This kind of Su Mingyu was quite cute.
Only after hearing this did Su Mingyu finally calm down. "She's still as slutty as ever!"
Gu Ruobai fixed his eyes on her. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Su Mingyu pouted. "It's nothing. I just mean that Su Yueyue is really Su Yueyue."
Was this the only trick she could come up with?
"Let's go. I'll take you back." Su Mingyu took a deep breath and pushed Gu Ruobai forward.
Seeing that her expression was better than before, Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows. "Why aren't you angry anymore?"
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes. "How could I not be angry?"
But she suddenly felt that being angry didn't make much sense. A person like Su Yueyue could only be dealt with by tough means.
"Since she has dared to provoke me, it seems inappropriate if I don't do something."
Su Mingyu's eyes darkened. Su Mingyu didn't care at all about how Su Yueyue had treated her in the past. But now that she had set her sights on Gu Ruobai, Su Mingyu couldn't ignore it.
Noticing Su Mingyu's cold look, Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows. "Are you going to take action against her?"
"Your words don't sound nice."
What did he mean by "take action against her"? This was just giving Su Yueyue a taste of her own medicine.
"Okay, okay. Just let me know if you need my help."
Knowing that Su Mingyu was really angry, Gu Ruobai's smile widened.
It was rare to see this girl jealous. She was quite cute.
"Why did you send Mei Qing to the side of the King of Yu again?" She clearly knew that the King of Yu wasn't very interested in Mei Qing, but still sent her there?
Gu Ruobai saw Su Mingyu's confusion at a glance. He lowered his eyes. "When Mei Qing was a well - bred young lady, the King of Yu wasn't interested in her. But now she is a sought - after courtesan."
"The rarer something is, the more people will pursue it, regardless of what the thing is really like. They just want to save face."
So Gu Ruobai could play such a psychological game? Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "So, does that mean Mei Qing has caught the King of Yu's eye?"
"I want Su Yueyue to marry the King of Yu earlier. Will this affect your plan?"
Gu Ruobai was stunned, as if he suspected he had misheard. "You want Su Yueyue to marry the King of Yu?"
Didn't she just say that she was going to give Su Yueyue a taste of her own medicine?
Why did she suddenly want Su Yueyue to marry the King of Yu?
Gu Ruobai asked his doubts and found that he was becoming more and more confused about what Su Mingyu was thinking.
Su Mingyu didn't hide her thoughts. "Since she wants to marry, let her marry. In this world, it's not only painful not to get what you want. It's even more painful to get something and find that it's not what you expected."
Gu Ruobai turned around and looked at Su Mingyu. A glint of admiration flashed in his deep eyes. "Your thoughts are different from most people's."
If it were someone else, the best way to revenge someone who had hurt them would be to prevent that person from getting what they wanted.
But Su Mingyu was going to do the opposite. She was going to let Su Yueyue marry the person she wanted to marry, and then let her fall into despair.
Being praised by Gu Ruobai like this, Su Mingyu didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she nodded. "Of course, I'm different from those ordinary women."
"By the way, since we'll pass by the Sinan Pavilion on the way, shall we go in and take a look?"
Seeing that she was so interested, Gu Ruobai of course wouldn't spoil her mood. So he nodded. "Sure."
When they arrived at the Sinan Pavilion, Qi Yue was skillfully introducing the clothes in his hand to a little girl.
Xia Mian was the first to notice Su Mingyu. She was just about to come up and say hello when Su Mingyu gave her a look and stopped her.
So Xia Mian obediently stepped aside and listened to Qi Yue's sales pitch with Su Mingyu.
They heard him praise the girl's skin color, height - to - body ratio, and the tailoring of the clothes.
At the same time, Qi Yue took out another piece of clothing for comparison. "You see, this color doesn't suit you. It will make you look a bit dark."
"Although I'm selling clothes, I'll never lie against my conscience. Miss, you're so pretty. You must wear such beautiful clothes."
With such sweet words and his handsome appearance, he almost immediately captured the little girl's heart.
The little girl blushed and took all the clothes recommended by Qi Yue to the counter to be packed.
Su Mingyu couldn't help smiling when she saw this. Not bad. This guy was growing up quickly.
Qi Yue also noticed the two of them. He trotted over. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to call "Master", but Su Mingyu gave him a look and stopped him. "Hello, I'm Su Mingyu, a regular customer here."
Seeing her being so formal, Qi Yue probably understood something. "What kind of clothes do you need? I'll recommend some for you."
"Just something suitable for me." Su Mingyu said as she pushed Gu Ruobai to a corner of the shop.
After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to them, Qi Yue came up to Su Mingyu with a flattering look. "How about it? Have I made progress?"
Seeing his proud look, Su Mingyu was both helpless and amused. "You've made great progress. I was still thinking that if you couldn't do well, I'd let Xia Mian kick you out."
"Ah?" Qi Yue's face fell. But when he looked up and saw Su Mingyu's expression, he immediately stopped smiling. "Are you serious?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "I don't want to keep useless people around me."
"I'll never let you give up on me!" After leaving this tough talk, Qi Yue turned around and went to greet a new customer.
Su Mingyu watched him being so serious from afar, and finally felt relieved.
"I think he has quite a talent. What do you think?"
Hearing Gu Ruobai's teasing, Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Where on earth did you see that he was capable of taking on important tasks?"
