Chapter 512: Chapter 513: I might as well bite off your face for you
You can hurt her, but you can’t hurt those she holds dear. That’s her bottom line.
Besides, Shi Qianying was tormenting Yu Nuo for her to see.
After some time, Gu Junzhu patted her back: “Feeling better?”
Ye Xingbei nodded, “Hmm, much better.”
Gu Junzhu asked, “Want to grab something to eat?”
Ye Xingbei looked up at him, “You haven’t eaten either?”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “Together.”
They got in Gu Junzhu’s car, someone else took care of Ye Xingbei’s car.
In the car, Ye Xingbei took measure of Gu Junzhu, “Why didn’t you eat? Did Qiao Yi annoy you?”
Gu Junzhu snorted, “Would I get angry over a pig?”
Ye Xingbei burst into laughter, “You really are the epitome of hypocrisy! You clearly care about her, but never admit it. Why would you defend her at the Civil Affairs Bureau if you weren’t concerned for her?”
“Don’t make it sound so sentimental,” Gu Junzhu said, “The only woman I care about is my wife. If I was concerned about another woman, wouldn’t you be jealous?”
“Pah,” Ye Xingbei spat at him, “You didn’t say a single honest thing, and people say that you’re aloof! They must be blind.”
“No, no, no!” Fifth Lord of Gu waggled an attractive finger, “I’m always aloof to everyone, except I can’t hold back when I see you, which means it’s not my fault that I tease you, but yours.”
Ye Xingbei said, “…..Leave me alone!”
Gu Junzhu gave her head a gentle rub with a smile and said nothing more.
After a while, Ye Xingbei couldn’t help asking, “Can you really come to Y Country with me?”
“Of course,” Gu Junzhu tilted his head to look at her, “Have I ever lied to you? Do you really doubt what I say?”
“Not really, it’s just ……” Ye Xingbei struggled to find the words.
Just like a child who gets defeated and calls for their parent for help.
It felt warm, like she had someone to rely on.
She had never felt this way before.
No matter how well Ye Xingli treated her, she always remembered her lowly status and worked her hardest for the Star Palace, earning money to repay Ye Xingli’s kindness, and never dared to cause him any trouble.
Not even to mention Ye Xinglan, she was as scared of him as tiger and hardly dared to breathe in his presence.
The old her, whenever she was wronged, kept it to herself, unlike now, someone was willing to go to great lengths to fight on her behalf.
At this moment, the image of Fifth Lord of Gu in her mind was as majestic as Ultraman fighting off little monsters.
“Don’t be too touched,” Gu Junzhu flicked her cheek, then whispered in her ear, “If you’re really so moved that you can’t control it, you can thank me with some new tricks tonight, like something with a maid outfit, see-through, or whatever …”
Ye Xingbei: “……”
Great.
All her feelings of being touched are gone now!
She tilted her head and bit Gu Junzhu on his face, “Since you’re being shameless, I will just help you bite it off!”
Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, touched the place where she bit him, “It’s a bit numb, just like an electric shock, it’s definitely because our close contact just now sparked the flame of love.”
Ye Xingbei: “……”
She’s not in sentimental mood now.
Really.
The two didn’t head home, Gu Junzhu took Ye Xingbei to a club.
The club had a peaceful elegant atmosphere, not many customers, even during the day, heavy curtains were drawn, the lighting was soft orange, a little dim, but incredibly warm.
