Su Mingyu reached out and pinched the soft flesh around Gu Ruobai's waist, then gave it a hard twist.
"You're teasing me!"
Su Mingyu glared at Gu Ruobai angrily. Her bright eyes sparkled with a glint of light. "Let me tell you, although today's incident was just an act, if you were really having an affair with other women behind my back, I might not be able to kill you, but I would never see you again."
Gu Ruobai tightened his grip. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be fickle?"
Su Mingyu pouted. "Who knows? It's easy to know a person's face but hard to know their heart."
Lifting Su Mingyu's chin, Gu Ruobai looked at her intently. "You should know my heart."
Looking at Gu Ruobai's masked face, Su Mingyu was about to be touched, but the strange face dampened her feelings.
She reached out and touched Gu Ruobai's masked face. With a slight raise of the corner of her eye, she said, "I may not know everything."
Just as Su Mingyu was talking to Gu Ruobai, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Miss Su, Young Master Kang requests your presence," the maid's voice suddenly sounded.
Su Mingyu frowned. "What does Young Master Kang want with me?"
But she still agreed.
When she changed into a relatively more casual dress and came before Kang Zeyan, Kang Zeyan had already been sitting there for a while.
"Miss Su, please sit," Kang Zeyan said as he reached out to pour a glass of wine for Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu wasn't polite. She sat down, picked up the glass, and took a sip. "Young Master Kang has really good taste."
Kang Zeyan looked at Su Mingyu and nodded slightly. "I watched a great show today, so of course I'm in a good mood."
Su Mingyu curled her lips. Did this guy really think of her as entertainment?
But she didn't say much and just silently drank her wine.
Seeing Su Mingyu drinking glass after glass, the curve of Kang Zeyan's mouth became even wider. "Miss Su has seen Gu Ruobai's true nature today. According to your lofty character, you should no longer have any lingering feelings for him, right?"
Su Mingyu looked at Kang Zeyan and nodded. "Although I'm just a woman, I'm not so self - deluded."
Saying that, Su Mingyu poured herself a glass of wine. Raising her eyebrows, she asked, "Young Master Kang didn't invite me here just for a simple drink, did he?"
Kang Zeyan nodded slightly. "It seems Miss Su is really an understanding person. Then I won't beat around the bush."
Su Mingyu gave a soft "hmm" and poured a glass of wine for Kang Zeyan, indicating for him to continue.
"Since you've already seen what kind of person Gu Ruobai is, you should hate him to the core by now, right?" Kang Zeyan looked at Su Mingyu and said almost word by word.
Su Mingyu snorted. "Does Young Master Kang want me to join you in dealing with Gu Ruobai?"
Kang Zeyan liked Su Mingyu's straightforwardness. He raised his eyebrows. "Anyway, you've already fallen out with him so badly that the possibility of reconciliation is almost zero. So why not help me crush him?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of temptation in Kang Zeyan's words. "Don't you want to see him defeated and despised by everyone?"
Looking at Kang Zeyan like this, Su Mingyu rolled her eyes in her heart. If she really hated Gu Ruobai, she might have been instigated by Kang Zeyan to reveal all of Gu Ruobai's secrets by now.
But unfortunately, Su Mingyu not only didn't hate Gu Ruobai but also protected him.
Su Mingyu nodded in understanding. She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then looked up at him. "Young Master Kang, I don't know if you've heard the saying 'A day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness'. Although Gu Ruobai and I have become like this, we're still husband and wife until he signs the divorce letter. So if I were to turn against him now, how would the Su family look?"
Su Mingyu's words seemed quite reasonable, but it also showed that she wouldn't betray Gu Ruobai.
Kang Zeyan was a bit confused. Even after all this, Su Mingyu still wanted to protect Gu Ruobai. "Was Miss Su's anger on the boat just an act? Do you still have feelings for the Prince of Ruixian?"
Su Mingyu snorted. "Anyway, we once loved each other. It's true that he let me down, but now you want me to turn around and sell him out. My conscience won't allow it!"
Kang Zeyan seemed to have not expected Su Mingyu to be such a loyal person. His face darkened a bit, but then he thought he could understand her. After all, if she were a faithless and easily swayed person, she wouldn't have risked her life to stand up for Gu Ruobai during the autumn hunting.
But even though he thought so, Kang Zeyan's face didn't look much better. "You should know that since I already know about the existence of the arsenal, even if you don't say anything, I will definitely find a way to locate it."
Su Mingyu shrugged at Kang Zeyan. "Young Master Kang can use your own methods to investigate, but don't expect to get a single bit of information from me."
Saying that, Su Mingyu poured herself another glass of wine. After drinking it in one go, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard, leaving only a resolute back for Kang Zeyan.
Kang Zeyan narrowed his long and narrow eyes. This Su Mingyu was really a bit unexpected.
Gu Ruobai had been waiting for Su Mingyu. When he saw her come back, he quickly asked, "What happened?"
After Su Mingyu told him everything, she thought that sitting around waiting for trouble wasn't a good idea. So she pursed her lips, waved at Gu Ruobai, and said, "I have a plan, but it's a bit dangerous. Do you want to hear it?"
Gu Ruobai frowned. "Tell me first."
"Since they want to find the arsenal, we'll give them one!" Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Reporting a prince for privately raising an army is a serious crime. Ordinary people definitely can't bear it."
"So I guess the person behind this might take the bait. Even if he doesn't, he will definitely send someone of some importance. Then we can follow the clues and surely find something."
Listening to Su Mingyu's words, Gu Ruobai frowned deeply. After a long while, he nodded. "It's feasible, but how can you make Kang Zeyan believe you? After all, you just firmly refused him. Do you think he'll believe you if you suddenly want to reveal something?"
Su Mingyu's eyes lit up. She quietly leaned over and whispered something in Gu Ruobai's ear. Gu Ruobai's face immediately changed. "No!"
Su Mingyu glanced at him. "I'm not asking you to really do it. It's just for show."
"No. I've said I won't let you down," Gu Ruobai's attitude remained firm.
