Volume 1 Chapter 162 Extra: Medicinal Induction
On May 20, Wen Fei and Ji Yunbai got their marriage certificate, and someone in the circle organized a party to celebrate for them.
People of the same age in this circle often have a small gathering every three days and a big gathering every five days. The smallest things can be used as an excuse to get together and drink. They are typical second-generation rich people who indulge in pleasure.
Xu Jingmo hasn't attended such gatherings of people in the circle for nearly a year. When someone invites him to a birthday party, he just delivers the gifts but doesn't show up.
People only dared to joke behind the prince's back that it was becoming increasingly difficult to invite him, but no one dared to say that he was not sociable. No matter how cold the butt was, they would rush to curry favor with him with a warm face.
Ji Yunbai is a good brother with whom he has a close relationship. Getting a marriage certificate is a major event in one's life. Xu Jingmo has to attend this kind of gathering no matter what to give Ji Yunbai face.
However, before he agreed, he still asked Du Ruo's opinion, fearing that she would not like that kind of occasion.
Du Ruo said nonchalantly, "Go ahead, I've already bought the congratulatory gifts, I'll go with you."
Xu Jingmo was surprised and asked, "When did you buy the gift? Did you go shopping secretly without telling me?"
Du Ruo glared at him speechlessly. "I bought this designer cup online and it was mailed back from abroad. Wasn't it you who picked it up for me last week?"
Xu Jingmo reacted for a second, let out a long "ah", and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to use it yourself."
Du Ruo was too lazy to pay attention to him. This man had become like a sticky candy. In the past, when she accompanied Wen Fei out shopping, he would urge her to buy whatever she liked. Why not spend the money if she had it?
Now when she goes out shopping, she can't buy anything. She has to wait until they are both free to go shopping together.
He insisted that he liked the feeling of choosing with her, which also helped them understand each other's preferences better and improved their relationship.
Even the large and small decorative pieces in the new home were bought by the two of them together at the mall during their weekends, without the involvement of a designer.
Du Ruo originally thought that this was inefficient, but now that everything in the house seemed to have memories of the two of them working together, she felt quite happy. She felt that this was a home, a warm little home that the two of them had carefully built. It was not a hotel that you could just move into.
Du Ruo explained, "Also, I just don't want you to be dragged down by bad people and bad things. I'm not asking you to cut off contact with people. If there are any gatherings in the future, you can go if you want. If I'm free, I can accompany you. If I'm not free, you can go by yourself. I don't mind. You don't need to listen to my opinion."
"I simply think that your friends who only care about food and drink are just like those gossiping friends around Sister Dai Yue. They are only willing to associate with you because they want to gain some benefits from you. They have no positive value. With your status and position, what can you get from them? Flattery and admiration?"
"It's ok for you to settle minor fights, but if someone kills or burns someone, will you still intervene? Your kind of chivalry, like the 'young and dangerous' in the movies, may not be suitable for real life, and not everyone is worthy of your chivalry."
"I know you have known each other since childhood. There is no need to cut off contact with each other forever because of my opinion. It won't come to that. You know what's going on now. You should relax and get together as needed."
Xu Jingmo gently held her waist and smiled, "I'm not a lifelong stranger. I've given gifts to people on birthdays and dates, but I don't show up often. People don't mind if I give gifts, and when I do, I just play cards, drink, and chat. I prefer to be with you at that time. Even if we're doing homework together in the study without talking, I'll be happy when I look up and see you. It's more stress-relieving than any entertainment."
Du Ruo couldn't help laughing at his coaxing, and snorted, "Love Brain, I'm not afraid of getting tired of watching it every day."
"What do you mean? Are you tired of looking at me?" Xu Jingmo let out a dissatisfied sound and questioned, turning the tables.
Du Ruo said: "Not yet."
"Not yet???" Xu Jingmo sat up in surprise, lifted his shirt to show his abdominal muscles and said, "Who said last night that they wanted to lie on my brother's abdominal muscles for the rest of their lives? What a scumbag says, it's not what you mean."
Du Ruo blushed with shame and rushed over to cover his mouth, "Shut up."
Xu Jingmo was thrown down by her, and he gently held her waist with his hands. He tilted his head and snorted softly, and said rather proudly: "You are unhappy, please comfort me."
Du Ruo softened her tone and said, "I was wrong, brother~, I said something wrong. You are the most handsome. I will never get tired of looking at you in my life."
Xu Jingmo pursed his lips and continued to nag, "You are not sincere. You don't mean what you say. My trust in you has been greatly reduced."
Du Ruo touched his abdominal muscles and said softly, "How could I not be serious? Look at these abdominal muscles, these waistline, and this mermaid line. Who wouldn't like it..."
She touched him wantonly with her little hand, and Xu Jingmo grabbed her hand and said, "Then can you explain to me what 'temporarily' means?"
Du Ruo blinked and said innocently, "It was a slip of the tongue."
Xu Jingmo squinted at her, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
Du Ruo said: "Beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare. What I mean is, even if you become ugly or fat, I will still appreciate your soul through your essence. Don't care so much about appearance."
Xu Jingmo said darkly, "You cursed me to become ugly and fat so that you can find a new handsome dog outside, right?"
Du Ruo: ??? How can you misinterpret the outline so much? ?
Xu Jingmo grabbed her waist, turned over suddenly, pressed her under him and said, "If you don't mean what you say, just use your kidneys. Your body is the most honest."
???
Du Ruo said angrily: "Xu Jingmo! You need such a superficial method to coax you, right?"
Xu Jingmo smiled and said, "You're right. Those sweet words you say are just for show in front of me. Why don't we compare and see who can say more sweet words."
Du Ruo: "If I win, will you not use your kidneys today?"
Xu Jingmo: "If you win, I will allow you to choose your posture."
Du Ruo was so angry that she kept complaining: "Oxen and horses have two days off a week, but I don't even have one day off a week. You want to exploit me and say sweet words to me. Even the landlords in feudal society are not as overbearing as you."
“I’m not a landlord.”
"I'm a robber."
"I just want to snatch a lady like you from a rich family to be my queen."
"Do you know what the name of the Yazhai Lady is?"
"In the land of robbers, I am second to none but above ten thousand."
Du Ruo finally said the love words that she didn't want to say, reluctantly, and she deeply regretted what she had promised.
After they got engaged, they discussed in detail the problems and decision-making that they would encounter in the future.
Xu Jingmo: "We can discuss all matters at home, big or small. It's okay if we don't discuss it. You are the one who makes the final decision. I will listen to whatever you say. But I want to be the one who makes the final decision about the matter of the bed."
Du Ruo thought at the time: These are just some normal physiological needs that both men and women have. Why should he decide this? It's not like she doesn't have needs.
He nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Oh, that's good. I finally understand what Master Ning meant when he said Xu Jingmo was hot-tempered.
It turns out that she is the most fundamental remedy, and she needs to prescribe the right medicine every day.
