Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 744 - 742

Chapter 744: 742

Being pointed out by Shangguan Ruixi about her intention, Du Yijin blushed a little. Why did she feel guilty, as if she was an ingrate who didn’t appreciate kindness?

"Half a year is a bit long; I cannot persuade my dad not to find a marriage for me, one month tops!" A month might seem long or short. Shangguan Ruixi probably couldn’t persuade the Empress Dowager and the princess in that timeframe. ’Empress Dowager, Princess, if you don’t want me as your daughter-in-law, please stand firm!’ thought Du Yijin.

A month is still better than ten days, thought Shangguan Ruixi, then nodded his head, "Fine, one month it is! During this time, you can’t purposely avoid me! If you are needed, you still have to cooperate with me!"

"What? No way!" Du Yijin refused the moment she heard these words.

She didn’t want to marry him at all. It is one thing for her not to sabotage, but to cooperate with him? that’s impossible!

"You don’t necessarily have to do anything, can you just not deliberately mess it up?" Shangguan Ruixi audibly sighed at her reaction.

For the first time in his life, he seriously questioned humanity!

It was like a direct hit to his confidence!

Was he really that bad? Why couldn’t this woman take a fancy to him?

Listening to these words, Du Yijin felt a bit guilty. She nodded reluctantly, "Fine, I need to go back. Otherwise, my maid can’t handle everything alone."

Du Yijin came here to sell walnuts dressed as a man with her maid.

"I’ll help you sell!" When Shangguan Ruixi thought of a group of men surrounding her, he felt uneasy. What if someone took advantage of her?

"No need. Better hurry back and think of a plan! The month will pass quickly," Du Yijin said sarcastically.

Shangguan Ruixi, overlooking her sarcasm, laughed heartily, "So you too can’t wait for me to come up with a plan. Don’t worry, within a month, I will have my mother personally come to propose."

"I’m not in a hurry, you’re shameless!" Du Yijin blushed and spat at him, then walked away, bypassing him.

Shangguan Ruixi followed her with a joyful mood.

At this time, Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi in the room had finished their meal as well.

Shangguan Xuanyi purposely went to the study to look up what a CEO is like. Looking at it, he felt a bit threatened. Was his girlfriend interested in CEO-type men?

Xiao’er came behind Shangguan Xuanyi: "What are you looking at?"

Shangguan Xuanyi quickly put the book away, "Nothing, let’s go out."

He was acting suspiciously, Xiao’er gave him a strange look but did not ask further. Humph! He can’t escape from her grasp!

"Let’s go! They must have left the alley by now," Xiao’er said with a touch of disappointment.

No more live entertainment!

Seeing that there was no one outside the alley, Shangguan Xuanyi sighed in relief.

Xiao’er looked disappointed. She glared at Shangguan Xuanyi: it was all because of him, she missed a live broadcast!

Shangguan Xuanyi secretly decided to keep Xiao’er away from Shangguan Ruixi in the future! The CEO type is too dangerous!

After leaving the alley, the two of them strolled through the entire street before heading back home.

After leaving Du Yijin, Shangguan Ruixi began to think deeply.

He was not unaware of what Du Yijin was thinking, but the reality was indeed a bit difficult! Let alone the Empress Dowager, even his own mother would be difficult to persuade!

His mother was of noble birth and valued the talent and reputation of the girls, as well as their family background.

What talent does Du Yijin have? According to his investigation, it seemed she did not have any. Besides, she was so poor back then that she could barely make ends meet, where would she get the silver to hire a teacher to teach her?!

As for reputation, that was nonexistent.

Let’s not talk about her family situation!

Unable to come up with a solution, Shangguan Ruixi decided to ask Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er for advice.

The farmer girl from Rui’an County could successfully marry him and was well-liked by the emperor and the empress!

Didn’t the Empress Dowager not like the lady of Rui’an County at the beginning? But she didn’t say anything about it in the end!

With this living example in front of him, it would really be a waste of resources if he didn’t ask for advice!

Shangguan Ruixi went straight to the Wang Mansion and didn’t expect to find no one there. Just about to head back home, he saw Shangguan Xuanyi’s carriage returning.

Shangguan Xuanyi was the first to jump off the carriage and saw Shangguan Ruixi, his face rapidly darkened. He was just about to avoid him. He had originally planned to turn around and lift Xiao’er off the carriage, but now decided to keep Xiao’er on the carriage for the time being.

"What are you doing here?" Shangguan Xuanyi did not give Shangguan Ruixi a warm welcome.

Shangguan Ruixi touched his own nose, wondering when he had offended him. He had the expression of a man who had stolen his wife, "Um, I need some advice."

"No time!" Shangguan Xuanyi rejected him without asking whatever the matter was.

"I say, you’re too unsociable like this. You’ll lose friends, you understand?" Shangguan Ruixi got annoyed seeing Shangguan Xuanyi’s discourtesy.

Xiao’er decided not to stay in the carriage even if Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t want her to come out!

Xiao’er lifted the curtain of the carriage and said:

"Why has the overbearing CEO come?"

When Shangguan Xuanyi heard this, his face darkened even more. He turned around and lifted Xiao’er off the carriage.

"Overbearing CEO? What does it mean? Is that me?" Shangguan Ruixi asked, puzzled.

"Exclusively you!" Xiao’er nodded, grinning.

"Why are you still standing here? Why aren’t you going?" Shangguan Xuanyi’s tone worsened.

Why did Xiao’er smile so pleasantly at Shangguan Ruixi?!

Shangguan Ruixi was confused, "What’s wrong with your husband?" Did he take some wrong medicine?

Though Shangguan Ruixi didn’t finish his sentence, everyone understood.

"Every man has those few days each month, don’t exaggerate!"

Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."

Shangguan Ruixi: "..."

’Those few days’ meaning what?

"Lord, what brings you here?" Xiao’er, ignoring the puzzled expressions of the two men, asked.

Just as Shangguan Ruixi was about to speak, Shangguan Xuanyi preempted him, "Said you were looking for me, right? Follow me to the study. Sweetie, I’ll be back soon."

It’s obvious why Shangguan Ruixi came here! He must have come for the ’Wife-Chasing Manual.’ Xiao’er didn’t understand why Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to avoid her, but she still nodded her head, "Then you two chat at ease."

Once Shangguan Xuanyi brought Shangguan Ruixi into the study, Shangguan Ruixi couldn’t wait to ask, "My good friend, how did you get the empress to like your wife back then?"

"My wife is so outstanding, who wouldn’t like her?" Shangguan Xuanyi proudly replied, as if it was only natural.

Shangguan Ruixi: "..."

This guy is such a show-off! So What if you have a wife!

"Didn’t the Empress Dowager dislike her at first?"

"Which daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law does the Empress Dowager like?"

Shangguan Ruixi: "..."

Okay! You win.

Then he asked a few more questions, none of which got a straight answer. Shangguan Ruixi was so angry that he almost wanted to severe their friendship!

What kind of friend is this?! He can’t help at all when you need him, and to add insult to injury!
