Chapter 432: Chapter 433: Damn, Dream On!
Wrapped in his arms, Xiao Shumiao laughed even more joyously, clinging affectionately around Gu Junzhu’s neck, and planted a big kiss on Gu Junzhu’s face.
The father and son shared an affectionate moment for quite a while before Gu Junzhu sent the two little ones upstairs to take a bath.
With Lingyue around, there was no need for anyone else to worry about the bathing.
Gu Junzhu left the two little ones to bathe and engage in their water fights as he turned to go downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, Ye Xingbei was sitting alone on the sofa, lost in thought.
Gu Junzhu sat down next to her and patted her head, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about again?”
“I’m sorry…” Ye Xingbei came back to her senses and turned to apologize, “I’m really sorry…”
Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “What happened? What have you done to apologize for?”
Ye Xingbei apologized with remorse, “It’s all my fault… Jiang Lin died here because of me…”
After Jiang Lin’s death, she had been in a daze, completely forgetting that Jiang Lin had died in Gu Junzhu’s home.
Having a stranger die in one’s home is considered very unlucky.
If it were not for her, Jiang Lin would not have died in Gu Junzhu’s home.
She felt very guilty about this.
“Just because of this?” Gu Junzhu laughed, nurturing her head affectionately, “Ye Xiaobei, is such a trivial matter also worth your apology to me? Remember, unless you fall out of love with me in the future, you don’t need to apologize to me for anything else. You’re my woman, so it’s my responsibility to do anything for you, unless you fall in love with someone else!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Well, whenever Fifth Lord of Gu, the mood killer starts speaking, all sentimentality vanishes.
She pinched Gu Junzhu’s waist hard, “Can’t you be serious for a moment?”
“Am I not being serious enough?” Gu Junzhu felt wronged, “I’m speaking the truth, from the bottom of my heart! That’s what I think. Where am I not serious?”
Ye Xingbei blushed, “Talking about falling in love and all that nonsense, is this being serious?”
“Why isn’t it serious?” Gu Junzhu argued, “Isn’t this me very seriously telling you where my limit lies? You’re my woman, your shoulders are so tender, so of course I should carry all your burdens! So what if Jiang Lin died here? Isn’t this your home too? Is such a trivial matter even worth your apology?”
Fifth Lord of Gu shook his head in puzzlement, “I really don’t understand what you women are thinking.”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Actually, she didn’t understand either what Fifth Lord of Gu was thinking.
But … she was deeply touched.
She couldn’t help but cuddle up to him, embracing Gu Junzhu, burying her face into his chest, and said in a muffled voice, “I think you are quite charming. If this keeps up, I’m sure I’ll fall in love with you soon!”
She felt a growing desire to be closer to him.
To embrace him.
She liked the warmth of his body.
She was captivated by the comfort of his warm embrace.
Was she already very close to falling in love?
Gu Junzhu patted her head, “Ye Xiaobei, I believe you must have fallen in love with me a long time ago, you’re just too stubborn to admit it!”
“Tuh, dream on!” Ye Xingbei sneered at him, “I’ll wait for you to fall in love with me before I’ll fall for you!”
The book said that whoever falls in love first loses.
She wouldn’t be the loser!
The Fifth Lord of Gu held her gently soft body in his arms, leaning down to give her a kiss before abruptly lifting her sideways, “Ye Xiaobei, I have long been in love with…. your beauty!”
He forcefully kissed her again and with Ye Xingbei in his arms, he marched upstairs.
After taking a bath, Ye Xingbei didn’t have the energy to think about those troubling matters and soon drifted into a deep sleep.
She didn’t even realize that when she was too sleepy to think, she had subconsciously moved closer to Gu Junzhu, resting on his broad chest, basking in his warmth. Satisfied, she nuzzled into him before finally drifting off to sleep.
Gu Junzhu watched her unconsciously moving closer, a smile emerged on his lips. He smoothed her messy hair, leaned over to kiss her forehead, and wrapped his arms around her.
He had always thought that sharing a bed with someone else was like someone invading his territory, which was unpleasant.
However, at this moment, he only felt a tranquil peace, with no trace of displeasure.
