Ye Xingbei rebuked him, “I don’t buy that for a second!”

She had been neighbors with Jee Xiu for over five years, and he had never pursued her.

They had been apart for over half a year, their relationship had grown somewhat distant, would Jee Xiu chase after her now?

She didn’t believe it!

“Don’t believe it?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “If you don’t believe me, let’s make a wager!”

“Alright! What’s the bet?” Ye Xingbei agreed without hesitation, feeling confident that she would surely win this time.

Gu Junzhu eyed Ye Xingbei up and down, his gaze deepened as he swallowed, “The one who loses will have to fulfill a request of the winner!”

Watching his intense gaze, Ye Xingbei felt incredibly vulnerable and was beginning to rethink her decision.

But then she thought, why should she hesitate?

Brother Xiu would definitely not pursue her.

The loser would surely be Gu Junzhu.

And at that time, she would be the winner.

She could request anything she wanted from the stern Fifth Lord of Gu.

How awesome would that be?

“Alright, deal!” Ye Xingbei held up her palm, “High five to seal the deal, whoever breaks the promise is a dastard!”

Gu Junzhu held up his hand and slapped it against her soft white palm, “Ye Xiaobei, you are certain to lose.”

He had already thought about what he would ask Ye Xiaobei to do.

Imagining the scenario in which Ye Xiaobei fulfilled his request, his eyes heated up.

He suddenly realized he didn’t dislike Jee Xiu as much as he initially did.

Sheng Xicheng laughingly asked Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, “Fifth Brother, Sister-in-law, what are you guys planning? Why the high five to seal the bet?”

Ye Xingbei blushed a bit, somewhat shy.

Gu Junzhu indolently sipped his drink lounging on the sofa, the smile in his eyes relaxed and content, “I made a wager with your Sister-in-law.”

Qiao Jieran exclaimed in shock: “Fifth Brother, you went too far! How can you trick Sister-in-law into betting?”

Si Nuo looked sympathetically at Ye Xingbei and said, “Sister-in-law, do you know? Our Fifth Brother has outrageous betting luck, he basically wins every bet! We all grew up together, and our Fifth Brother has never lost a bet. None of us dares to bet with him anymore!”

Ye Xingbei flashed Gu Junzhu a look.

Brother Xiu really doesn’t fancy her, right?

He should…right?

Gu Junzhu took another sip of his drink, the smirk on his face was vague but composed as he watched her.

Ye Xingbei didn’t know why, but his gaze made her heart race and her cheeks flush. She glared at him, got up, and went off to be with her son.

They had already made a promise, it was too late to back out now.

Even though Gu Junzhu had always won bets in the past, who could avoid problems all the time?

What if Gu Junzhu lost this time?

She figured, she understood Jee Xiu.

Jee Xiu couldn’t possibly fancy her.

Her chances of winning were still great!

Past eleven, the little guy was rubbing his eyes sleepily. Gu Junzhu said his goodbyes to the others and left early with Ye Xingbei, her son, and Lingyue.

Seeing how excited the six of them were, he was sure they’d carry on till dawn.

Because it was late, they didn’t go back to the Ye Family home but instead returned to Gu Junzhu’s villa.

The two kids bathed, got into their pajamas, and quickly fell asleep.

After taking a bath, Ye Xingbei laid down next to her son and was quickly pinned down by Gu Junzhu.

Ye Xingbei glared at him, “Junzhu, if you dare to fool around tonight, I swear I’ll really lose my temper!”

Gu Junzhu feigned innocence: “Wasn’t it you who said you’d ‘take care’ of me when we got home? Here I am, making it easy for you, and you’re not happy?”

Ye Xingbei looked at him expressionlessly: “I recall saying that you should sleep on the couch tonight!”

Gu Junzhu looked delighted: “Really? Do you want to try some couch play with me tonight?”
