Chapter 511: Chapter 512: Holding Her
Ye Xingbei was surprised, tilting his head to look at him, “To Y country?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “Isn’t that the logical progression, why are you so surprised?”
“So far away… do you have the time?” Ye Xingbei asked, “And what about Xiao Shu and Xiao Yue…”
“We can always find the time,” Gu Junzhu said, “Xiao Shu and Xiao Yue will of course go with us. They’re both academic prodigies, a few missed days of third grade won’t matter. Travelling can be just as educational. It’s good for them.”
He paused for a moment, a subtle smile appeared on his face, “If they knew they could travel with us, I’m sure Xiao Shumiao would be thrilled.”
Thinking about how Xiao Baozi would cheerfully wrap his arms around his neck, shouting, “Daddy is the best!”, the corners of Gu Junzhu’s mouth turned upward a few degrees more.
“What about Qiao Zui and Fang Yao?” Ye Xingbei asked, “Senior Gu wants you to keep an eye on their physical therapy. And Qiao Zui doesn’t care about his health. If you’re not around, he will eat everything he’s not supposed to, which is not good for his arm.”
“We’ll bring them along too, they could serve as extra hands,” Gu Junzhu said, “Despite both of them being injured, they’d have no problem dealing with ordinary tasks.”
Ye Xingbei: “… Alright, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your work.”
“Of course it won’t,” Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms and kissed her: “Avenging my wife is now my top priority! What do you think? Aren’t I much better than that cold-blooded bastard Ye Xinglan?”
Ye Xingbei pushed him away, laughing and crying at the same time, “How can you be so childish?”
Gu Junzhu ruffled her hair, “I’m just being silly to make you smile. See, it worked, didn’t it?”
Ye Xingbei looked up at him, seemingly moved.
He was extraordinarily handsome and his skin was flawless; an absolute vision.
Despite his playful banter and casual demeanor, the concern in his eyes was true and genuine.
Ye Xingbei felt a sudden warmth in her heart.
He truly was a remarkable man.
Whether as true spouse or partners, he had fully embodied a husband’s role and responsibility.
Though she had never been married or seen other husbands, she believed no one could be better than him.
She snuggled into his chest, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his shoulder.
As the sea breeze blew, her cold body was warmed up, and with it, her heart that had been chilled by Ye Xinglan.
With the soft body in his arms, Gu Junzhu’s heart softened.
When he first saw her standing alone by the sea, letting the wind blow, her frail figure seemed as if it would be carried away by the wind. His heart was in pain as if it had been stabbed by a needle.
When he held her in his arms, seeing her so vulnerable, his restless heart finally settled.
They held each other for a long while, and finally, Ye Xingbei’s emotions calmed down.
Ye Xinglan’s favoritism was not new, she should have gotten used to it.
Back when they were in the Y country, she always had to yield to Shi Qianying and Shi Qianling.
She was used to it, and Ye Xinglan probably took it for granted.
However, back then Shi Qianying targeted her, and she could endure it no matter what.
But this time, Shi Qianying hurt Yu Nuo, and she didn’t want to tolerate it anymore.
Let alone the fact that she’s not the poor girl that was taken in by the Ye family anymore, she would even risk Ye Xinglan’s severe punishment to avenge Yu Nuo.
