Chapter 414: Chapter 415:1 Might Already Be In Love With You!
“Stop!” Ye Xingbei abruptly covered his mouth, “Please don’t speak!”
It must not be kind words.
She didn’t want to hear a single word!
His mouth was covered with a soft little hand.
Gu Junzhu stuck out his tongue and lightly licked the soft palm.
Ye Xingbei abruptly withdrew her hand, her face flushing red, “Are you… Are you… Are you actually a cat?”
“No,” Gu Junzhu held her hand and started playing with it, smiling, “All I wanted to say was that this is not the way to beg. ‘Please don’t speak’ is okay, but you have to show some sincerity when you are begging!”
Ye Xingbei: “I’m so tired!”
She abruptly hugged Gu Junzhu’s neck tightly, buried her face into his neck, and gave a fierce command, “From now on, you’re not allowed to speak, let me rest!”
Her body was soft, and fragrant too.
The delicate scent of orchids flowed into Gu Junzhu’s nostrils, refreshing his mind and spirit.
Gu Junzhu’s smiling curve was even more pronounced, he ruffled her hair, “Sweetie, are you acting out of annoyance or are you trying to act cute?” “Shut up!” Ye Xingbei opened her mouth and bit him on the shoulder.
She didn’t even know what she wanted to do.
But she just felt like doing it at the moment!
Gu Junzhu leaned lazily against the back of the chair, allowing her to cling onto him like a koala.
After not hearing Gu Junzhu speak for a while, Ye Xingbei felt reassured.
She said, “Hey…”
“Hm?” Gu Junzhu looked at her, head tilted, “What’s up?”
He quite liked the feeling of her quietly hugging him.
It was as if time had slowed down, his heart calm and peaceful as if everything was serene and harmonious.
Ye Xingbei let go of him, “How did you think of having someone tail Leng Peini?”
“I didn’t really think about it,” the Fifth Lord of Gu lazily replied: “I’ve always been like this, taking precautions before it rains, and thinking a hundred steps ahead. After all, I have both the money and the people, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.”
Ye Xingbei:”…”
Even though the Fifth Lord of Gu did a good deed, his cocky tone somehow made people feel like he deserved to be beaten up.
She took some time to gather her thoughts and finally decided not to compete with the Fifth Lord of Gu.
Otherwise, she would definitely be the one to die of anger first!
She asked again, “Now that we’ve switched the sulfuric acid with water and Leng Peini splashed water at us, will she still be convicted of intentional injury by the court?”
“Yes, but the sentence will be lighter,” Gu Junzhu tilted his head to look at her: “We could’ve not switched it as well, as long as Xiao Chi was a bit quicker and knocked the bottle out of her hand as soon as she made a move. But I didn’t want to take the risk.”
He would rather have Leng Peini sentenced for a few less years than for his subordinates to take risks.
Leng Peini’s life compared to that of his subordinates was simply incomparable.
“You did the right thing!” Ye Xingbei asserted: “If it were up to me, I would do the same!”
She couldn’t help but highly regard the Fifth Lord of Gu.
Even though the Fifth Lord of Gu was sharp-tongued, he was actually very kind-hearted.
Thinking about how he had pulled her into his arms without any hesitation and had securely shielded her made her heart incredibly warm.
His chest was warm, very broad.
“Gu Junzhu…” She couldn’t help but stare at him, her gaze was very warm: “I suddenly want to talk about what you said to me last night…”
Gu Junzhu lifted an eyebrow, “Hm?”
“I want to say…” With a flushed face, Ye Xingbei turned away, “I want to say… maybe I might fall in love with you in the future too…”
Gu Junzhu, resting his cheek on his hand, responded, “I remember I didn’t say it like that last night. What I said was…. Ye Xiaobei, I think I might be in love with you right now!”
