Ye Xingbei was utterly speechless in an extraordinary way.

Had he compromised so easily?

What about moral principles?

What about backbone?

What about dignity?

Rolling his eyes, Ye Xingbei laid back onto his spot.

Gu Junzhu laid flat on his pillow, took Ye Xingbei’s hand, looked up at the snowy-white ceiling with a smile, “Hey, Ye Xiaobei?”

Ye Xingbei turned his face sideways to look at him, speechless, “What now? Gu Junzhu, why do you talk so much once we’re in bed?”

“Well, you only let me talk and not do anything,” Fifth Lord of Gu answered smoothly, without hesitation for even a moment. “If you’d let me do something, I wouldn’t say a word!”

Ye Xingbei gave him a harsh slap, “Gu Junzhu, go to hell!”

Gu Junzhu laughed, his shoulders shaking, “Hey, Ye Xiaobei?”

Ye Xingbei was furious, “If you have something to say then say it! If you’re sick, go find Gu Qingrun. Calling out for Ye Xiaobei is useless!”

Gu Junzhu couldn’t stop laughing, “Eh, Ye Xiaobei?”

Ye Xingbei surrendered, “Fifth Lord of Gu, if you’ve got something to say then say it! I beg you, just say it!”

Gu Junzhu looked at her, holding her hand, laughing incessantly, “Ye Xiaobei, I’m serious! Ever since you and Xiao Shumiao came into my life, I’ve felt like each day is getting more and more enjoyable. Consider it seriously, will you have another child for me? I promise, with another child, I’ll still be good to Xiao Shumiao and won’t be unfair!”

Ye Xingbei chuckled dryly, her face impassive, “Gu Junzhu, ever since Xiao Shu and I came into your life, I feel like each day is getting more and more unbearable. If you truly want me to have your child, you should behave yourself first. Stop acting like a lunatic for no reason. I don’t want our children to inherit that!”

Gu Junzhu: “…Alright! I’ll behave properly from now on!”

He propped his head with one hand and turned back to look at the ceiling, “Suddenly I realise that life before meeting you and Xiao Shumiao was just mere existence, now it’s actually living! Before, days passed by like a robot, dull, flavourless. But now it’s much more colourful and interesting.”

Ye Xingbei scorned him, “Of course, you’re having fun! All your happiness is built on my suffering! You annoying ghost!”

“Annoying ghost?” Gu Junzhu turned his head to look at her, in his gleaming eyes a frolicsome light flashed, “Do you know, when I was a soldier, I passed by a small town once where the women called their husbands ‘dead ghosts’. The term is only two words, but way they said it was so soft and tender, full of charm!”

Ye Xingbei thought, if there were a chart of people she least wanted to chat with, Gu Junzhu would certainly top the list.

She turned to look at the wall, ignoring him.

Long after, Gu Junzhu finally said, “Hey, Ye Xiaobei, is it really bad for you and Xiao Shumiao to stay with me?”

Ye Xingbei was taken aback.

From his tone, he seemed to be asking seriously. It wasn’t right for Ye Xingbei to fob him off with a lie, so after hesitating, she admitted, “Not really! If you act less like a lunatic, then Xiao Shu and I are pretty comfortable here. Especially Xiao Shu. He probably has told you already, he took you as his biological father. His love and respect for you came straight from his heart, it’s the purest kind of love. With you by his side, he’s extremely happy.”

After saying this, Ye Xingbei felt a little guilty.

Gu Junzhu made her son so happy and had given them a home. Other than cooking soup and feeding fruit to Gu Junzhu a couple of times, she did nothing for him. Rather, she disliked and verbally attacked Gu Junzhu.

She had been making Gu Junzhu work like a horse without giving him a single blade of grass. It seemed that she had been a bit too selfish..
