“That’s great,” Gu Junzhu heaved a sigh of contentment: “Since you and Xiao Shu are happy here, let’s keep living this way. When the time is right, let’s have another child. Our home will be livelier, and Xiao Shu will surely be happier!” Ye Xingbei turned to look at him: “Do you really enjoy our current life?”
“Of course!” Gu Junzhu nodded, “Didn’t I just say it? Ever since you and Xiao Shu came into my life, I find each day more fulfilling than the last.”
“Why?” Ye Xingbei looked at him, puzzled: “You’re wealthy, influential, capable, and come from a good background. You’re practically perfect in every way, so many people envy you. Why wasn’t your previous life satisfying?”
“Why wasn’t my previous life satisfying?” Gu Junzhu thought for a moment: “Maybe… because it was empty? What’s the point of having so much money? I earn money, but there’s no one to spend it with! Most people earn money to support their families, but it’s just my father and me at home. The state takes care of my father, so it doesn’t matter how much money I earn, there’s no one to help me spend it. What’s the point of earning all that money then?”
Ye Xingbei:”…”
Maybe what the Fifth Master of Gu was saying was true, but why did she feel the urge to slap him after hearing it?
Gu Junzhu tilted his head and looked at her, then continued: “But now that you and Xiao Shumiao are here, it’s different. You two can help me spend! Whether it’s taking Xiao Shumiao out for a buffet or buying clothes and toys for him, I feel a great sense of accomplishment every time I spend money on Xiao Shumiao!”
Ye Xingbei:
Well, okay.
She didn’t understand men’s world.
However, when she spent money on her son, she felt the same way, not the least bit distressed, and full of achievement and satisfaction.
Apparently, what Gu Junzhu was lacking before was this sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, right?
“Then why did you choose me and Xiao Shu?” Ye Xingbei asked again: “Given your circumstances, you could completely find a girl without a child to marry and have children with. Although Xiao Shu is adorable and sensible, he is not your child after all. Many men mind this.”
Gu Junzhu tutted: “Ye Xiaobei, it’s Xiao Shumiao who hit his head, not you. Why did you become so silly? Wasn’t the marriage with you arranged by my father? Didn’t the seer say that if I marry a girl from the Jiang family, only then can I survive? If not marry you, should I marry Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu instead? With their character, wouldn’t I turn into a murderer in a few days of living with them? Murder has to be paid with blood, so in the end I still wouldn’t be able to live!”
Ye Xingbei was puzzled: “Who do you want to kill?”
Gu Junzhu was amused by her foolish cuteness, and ruffled her hair vigorously, “If I marry Jiang Siyou or Jiang Lingyu, of course I’d kill the two of them. Who else could it be, you?”
Ye Xingbei: “…do you dislike them that much?”
Gu Junzhu put his hands behind his head, lazily nodding: “I wouldn’t even want them to shine my shoes!”
Looking at him, Ye Xingbei felt an unexplainable joy in her heart.
He would rather marry her, the mother of Xiao Shu, than marry Jiang Siyou or Jiang Lingyu. Does this show that their decision to register for marriage wasn’t all in jest, after all?
Gu Junzhu glanced at her, then ruffled her hair again: “Ye Xiaobei, I’ll give you some time to think, but don’t make me wait too long, or I’ll play the Tyrant and take you by force!”
Ye Xingbei glared at him: “You dare!”
Gu Junzhu’s eyes twinkled with laughter, extremely enticing: “Try me if you don’t believe it!”
