With his large, puppy dog eyes, Ye Xingbei’s heart instantly melted, and she agreed.
The four of them ordered a family meal, including two ice creams for the children, who ate with the sweetest and happiest expressions on their faces.
Seeing how engrossed the children were, and how happy they were, Ye Xingbei, who had initially given in to her softer side and couldn’t resist her son’s begging, gradually let go of her grievances.
It didn’t matter.
Life is short.
If nothing can be done, what’s the point of living?
Eating junk food occasionally won’t kill anyone. If they like it, let them have it!
She once enjoyed this kind of junk food too, but after consuming it a few times, she lost her fondness for it.
Her love for ice cream, however, still remained.
But in front of the children, she needed to maintain her dignity as an elder.
Although she didn’t understand the relationship between eating ice cream and dignity, eating ice cream in front of the children somehow felt weird.
So, she only bought two ice creams, none for herself.
She claimed to share with Xiao Shumiao, but seeing the child savoring every bite, she couldn’t bear to eat it and only took a small bite, watching the child enjoy the rest.
Seeing her child eating happily made her happier than if she had eaten it herself.
Gu Junzhu suddenly stood up and left the table.
Ye Xingbei assumed he was going to the restroom and didn’t think much of it.
A few minutes later, the Fifth Lord of Gu returned with an ice cream in hand and handed it to her after he sat down.
Ye Xingbei was a bit surprised and asked him, blushing, “Is it for me?”
Gu Junzhu nodded with a smile, “You should eat it.”
Just now, sitting across from Ye Xingbei, he found it amusing to see her hesitate about whether to eat it or not.
Though she was already a mother of a five-year-old, she was still only twenty-one.
Twenty-one, the typical age of a college student.
Wasn’t it normal for girls her age to enjoy treats like chocolate-flavored ice cream?
Ye Xingbei accepted the ice cream, took a bite with her head held low, and her face flushed even more.
This man was truly… infuriating, making people grit their teeth in frustration.
But when he was considerate, he was also heartwarmingly sweet.
The two little ones ate their fill and finished their ice cream, content with their outing, they headed home.
In the evening, only after seeing Lingyue off to bed did Ye Xingbei returned to her and Gu Junzhu’s bedroom.
Her son was already asleep, and Gu Junzhu was not around.
She gave her son a kiss, gazed at him for a while, stroked his little face, and then turned to take a bath in the bathroom.
When she finished her bath and came out, she saw Gu Junzhu fiddling with the shirt she had bought for him today.
As she towel-dried her hair, she asked softly, “Have you tried it on? Does it fit?”
That afternoon, all the spoils of their shopping spree had been washed, dried, and sunned by the house staff.
“I tried it on, it fits perfectly,” Gu Junzhu said, reaching out to grab her wrist and pull her into his arms, “Ye Xiaobei, you should try it on too.”
“Gu Junzhu, stop messing around!” Ye Xingbei whispered reprimand, doubting whether she had heard him correctly, “Why would I try on your shirt?”
Gu Junzhu gave her a quick peck and said with a teasing smile, “I read somewhere that a man’s dress shirt is the most beautiful nightgown for a woman. Try it on, let me see.”
Ye Xingbei: “…get lost!”
In her subjective opinion, she disagreed.
But the fact was, she was no match for Gu Junzhu’s strength.
After a short tussle, Gu Junzhu managed to tug off her bathrobe, and pulled the shirt she had bought for him over her head.
Wearing Gu Junzhu’s dress shirt, which looked like an oversized nightgown but barely covered her thighs, she felt both embarrassed and irate..
