Chapter 1733: Chapter 1733: Negotiating (3)
“Do you like me?” Du Juan was not one to mince words, especially since following Yang Ruxin, she had embraced this nature even more. So, after a glance at Du Yunpeng’s back, she pondered for a moment and directly asked.
“I…” Du Yunpeng felt as if something had pricked him, instinctively wanting to flee, but his hand hit the door, and he quickly retracted it. He hadn’t forgotten his identity; the young lady was staying next door. What if he blew his cover?
Du Juan frowned. Did she misunderstand? Her expression immediately turned somewhat awkward. This was embarrassing, so she hurriedly lay back down and closed her eyes.
Du Yunpeng said “I” for ages, finally mustering the courage to turn around and look up. But his head was full of lines instantly—had she fallen asleep again? He immediately felt a suicidal urge. Why was he so cowardly? He couldn’t help but step forward two steps.
Du Juan immediately opened her eyes again and sat up: “What’s the matter with you?”
“I do like you.” Du Yunpeng licked his lips, thinking he was going for it.
“Since when?” Du Juan did not appear the least bit shy. Instead, she frowned, all seriousness.
Yang Ruxin lay in bed next door, but she wasn’t sleeping. She adjusted herself to the best state and then seriously eavesdropped on the sounds next door.
She was actually quite curious about Du Juan and Du Yunpeng’s interaction, wondering if the two could end up together.
However, their performance made her want to spit blood.
Du Juan was too straightforward; her questions were too sharp, making her feel like it was a quiz game.
Oh well, just listen to the result.
As for Du Yunpeng next door, he was honest too. He answered frankly when asked: “On the way here.”
Du Juan paused: “But I’ve always considered you a brother.”
Du Yunpeng remained silent for a long time.
Yang Ruxin was anxious, wishing she could immediately go over and give them a push, but just as she stood up, Du Yunpeng spoke: “Well, from now on, you can change your way of thinking…”
“But…”
“The young lady once said, ‘How do you know if it won’t work unless you try?'” Du Yunpeng was much more eloquent now. “We’re not young. If you don’t dislike me, then give me a chance…”
“I cannot be the gentle and virtuous woman in men’s eyes; neither can I be absolutely obedient to my husband. And I absolutely don’t want to leave the young lady…”
“Haha.” Du Yunpeng laughed, “I need a wife, not a servant. Do whatever you want, I won’t hold you back… just like the young master treats the young lady…”
“If that’s the case, then let’s try.” Du Juan actually nodded, “But your parents…”
“They have always liked you.” Du Yunpeng smiled, “My sister gets along well with you too, so you don’t need to worry about in-law relationships or nosy sisters-in-law…”
Du Juan nodded.
The two, having reached consensus, continued with one sleeping and the other keeping watch.
Yang Ruxin listened and covered her face. Is this love? This is clearly a negotiation… but whatever, everyone has their own way of life. As long as they are comfortable, it’s fine.
Then she yawned and closed her eyes.
However, just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the door make a sound, and then someone approached.
Yang Ruxin instantly entered the space, clutching a silver needle.
