He stood outside the door, listening in until the song ended, before he knocked and entered.
Initially, he had planned to ask Ye Xingbei out, to pour out his heartfelt feelings to her.
To tell Ye Xingbei that he loved her.
That he wanted to marry her.
It didn’t matter if his mother didn’t like her, he would protect her and wouldn’t let her suffer any unjust treatments.
He considered that Ye Xingbei might feel shy, hesitated, or even refuse.
He had decided, no matter what Ye Xingbei’s reaction would be, he would bravely pursue her, until she accepted his affections.
This time, he would definitely not give up.
However, he absolutely hadn’t expected that before he could confess to Ye Xingbei, Gu Junzhu would deal him a crushing blow.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei were married!
They actually got married?
Gazing at Ye Xingbei, who was held in Gu Junzhu’s arms, his head was spinning, a buzzing sound filled his ears, and he was filled with doubts as if he was dreaming.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei got the marriage certificate?
Ye Xingbei was Gu Junzhu’s wife?
How could that be?
Although Ye Xingbei was young, she was a single mother. Even his family couldn’t accept Ye Xingbei. So how could the even more prestigious Gu family possibly welcome her into their home?
And then there was Gu Junzhu.
Ye Xingbei moved into the Ye family home at sixteen, and he had been her neighbor since.
He had known Ye Xingbei for five years, been attracted by her beauty and kindness, and fallen in love with her. That’s why he had decided to ignore the rumors, the difference in their status, and even his family’s objections, he would be with Ye Xingbei.
What about Gu Junzhu?
He didn’t recall Ye Xingbei knowing Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had only known each other for a few days. How could they have gotten a marriage certificate?
That couldn’t be possible!
This absolutely couldn’t be possible!
He had turned pale, his hands and feet cold. Forcing a smile onto his beautiful lips, he said, “Fifth Brother, are you joking? I’ve known Beibei for more than five years, and I don’t recall Beibei knowing Fifth Brother. You two have only recently met, right? How could you possibly have gotten a marriage certificate?”
“Don’t you know that there’s a term called ‘love at first sight’ in this world?” Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei tightly in his arms, squeezing her shoulder. Looking down at her with deep affection, he said, “Beibei and I were love at first sight. We got our marriage certificate the same day we met! So, do you have objections?”
Raising his eyes, he cast a sidelong glance at Jee Xiu. His gaze was light and filled with smiles, yet an invisible pressure filled the air around him, overwhelming and oppressive.
The agent standing behind Jee Xiu, under that powerful pressure, broke out in cold sweat. He tugged at Jee Xiu’s clothes, saying “Brother Xiu…”
Jee Xiu looked at Gu Junzhu, and couldn’t describe the feelings inside his heart.
He didn’t know whether Gu Junzhu’s feelings towards Ye Xingbei were real or fake, but he could see that Gu Junzhu’s possessiveness towards her was complete.
Regardless of whether they were a real couple or a pretend one, it was obvious that Gu Junzhu cared about Ye Xingbei.
He had wanted to confess his feelings to Ye Xingbei, but someone had beaten him to it.
And that person was Gu Junzhu, who was from a more prestigious family, had a stronger background, had more money, and was more capable than him.
If as Gu Junzhu had said, the Gu family openly and officially recognized Ye Xingbei as their daughter-in-law, if Ye Xingbei was genuinely the Young Madame of the Gu family, then he desperately wanted to shout this in his mother’s face: even the Gu family was willing to marry Ye Xingbei, so what right did the Jee family, which was inferior to the Gu’s, have to look down on Ye Xingbei?
If he hadn’t initially succumbed to his mother’s domineering personality, if he hadn’t been scared that persisting in pursuing Ye Xingbei would lead his domineering mother to humiliate Ye Xingbei, he wouldn’t have chosen to hide his feelings.
Now, after finally mustering up the courage, deciding to fearlessly pursue Ye Xingbei, she was already in another man’s arms.
And that man was Gu Junzhu, who was even more outstanding than him..
