Chapter 583: Chapter 586: Can’t Say

“You don’t have to ask someone to look for him,” Ye Xingbei hurriedly said: “No news is good news; don’t stir up more trouble.”

“Mm,” Gu Junzhu rubbed her head, “Don’t mention it again, he’ll come back.”

“Mm,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “I understand, he can pursue his dreams, fight for what he believes in. I’m happy for him, and I also believe that he will definitely come back.”

“Good girl!” Gu Junzhu flicked her forehead slightly, “To put it this way, you’re not entirely unlucky, given how worried you are about your foster brother, he must be good to you.”

“Yes,” Ye Xingbei chuckled, “When he left, he was most worried about me, he hugged me and cried for a while before letting go. He even threatened his aunt and uncle that if they dared to mistreat me, he would seek retribution upon his return. Sadly, his aunt and uncle were not scared at all and still treated me poorly.”

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow: “He hugged you for a long time?”

Ye Xingbei: “…why that expression? He’s my brother; it was just a farewell hug.”

Fifth Lord of Gu said seriously: “Ye Xiaobei, a girl should be reserved. Don’t just let people hug you, not even a brother, who is also of the opposite sex. You’re married now; only your husband can hug you!”

Ye Xingbei: “…Then you can’t hug other girls casually either, that’s fair!”

Fifth Lord of Gu firmly grabbed her hand and slapped it against his: “Deal! Whoever breaks the agreement is Lu Maomao!”

“No,” Ye Xingbei could not help laughing, “If someone breaks the agreement, the other person will turn into Lu Maomao.”

Gu Junzhu could not help laughing either, shaking his head and said, “Poor Xiao Shumiao, I wonder if she’ll regret naming her beloved dog such a name when she grows up and understands what the pun ‘Lu Maomao’ means.”

Ye Xingbei laughed so hard, she buried her face into his chest.

After a long while, she stopped laughing, wrapping her arms around Gu Junzhu’s waist: “Gu Junzhu…I feel like I’ve told you this before, but I want to say it again… Thank you… I’m so grateful to have met you…”

Gu Junzhu stroked her hair, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, “Same for me.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Xingbei nestled into his chest, “I’ve been causing you so much trouble, always needing your help, and I have not done anything for you in return. It seems like you’re at a loss in this relationship.”

“Who said you aren’t doing anything for me?” Gu Junzhu ruffled her hair, “Ye Xiaobei, my world feels incomplete when you’re not around. You light up my world when you’re there. You’ve filled my heart, tell me, aren’t you important?”

Ye Xingbei giggled nonstop, “That’s great then. I also feel like you’ve filled my heart so full that I don’t have time to hate anyone anymore. I’m so happy. Fifth Master, you’re wonderful!”

Fifth Lord of Gu sucked in a breath, “You little enchantress, you’re seducing me again!”

Ye Xingbei looked up at him, puzzled: “…what do you mean?”

Fifth Lord of Gu suddenly pushed her hand to a certain place, “You can’t say those three words in bed, okay?”

Ye Xingbei’s palm was poked by something, her face immediately flushed, she pulled her hand back and gave him a slap on his solid abs: “You you you… can’t you think about something else?”

“No,” Fifth Lord of Gu spoke righteously, “Any man who doesn’t think about that when in bed, must have a functional issue somewhere!”
