When everyone had left, Chu Dingbang patted Gu Junzhu on the shoulder, smiled, and looked at Ye Xingbei: “Sister-in-law, everyone agreed yesterday to hold a welcome party for you and Fifth Brother tonight. It seems that we happened to meet early, which shows that we are fated.”
Gu Junzhu glanced at him, dismissively saying one word: “Scram!”
Chu Dingbang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He patted Gu Junzhu’s shoulder again, “Fifth Brother, I just mentioned that I am fated with your wife, and you got jealous. You’re really jealous!”
Gu Junzhu coldly glared at him: “It’s because of your face today that I spared those guards and your worthless cousin. Do you really still want to joke around with me?”
Chu Dingbang made a gesture of surrender: “Fifth Brother, I know you’re the most magnanimous, the most loyal, and the most caring towards me. All of today’s incidents will be on my account. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight; you can order whatever you want!”
Gu Junzhu side-eyed him, picked up Xiao Shumiao, who was nestled in Ye Xingbei’s arms sobbing, and didn’t bother to watch his fun.
Chu Dingbang took a look at Xiao Shumiao, touched his little head, “Is this Fifth Brother’s son? Was he scared? Look, his eyes are all red from crying.”
He and Gu Junzhu were close friends since childhood, the kind of friends that were closer than biological brothers.
Gu Junzhu wouldn’t hide anything from them.
They were a group of brothers who, due to being busy, would take a break and chat in the group when they couldn’t meet each other.
About Ye Xingbei and his adopted son, Gu Junzhu had told them in the group.
They watched as Gu Junzhu went from first saying he’d “adopted a cheap son” his adopted son was both cute and adorkable.
Latterly, the words “cheap son” gradually turned into “my son”.
And then after a while, “my son” became “my beloved son.”
These brothers were all cunning characters.
From Gu Junzhu’s simple change of terms and tone, they could see the gradual changes in the status of the child in Gu Junzhu’s mind.
Sometimes, impulsively, Gu Junzhu would even send a photo of the cute kid.
The boy was indeed cute and beautiful, so cute that people would instantly be captivated.
Yes, no matter how cute and beautiful, wasn’t that someone else’s child?
They really couldn’t understand why “Fifth Brother” was so happy to “play dad.”
After being arranged by Senior Master Gu, Ye Xingbei honestly played the role of a couple with him, and they also adopted a “cheap son”. They were extremely curious about Ye Xingbei, who played along with Senior Master Gu’s plans.
They had originally arranged to have a welcome party for Gu Junzhu tonight and to gather together to meet their newly instated “Fifth Sister-in-Law” and “Fifth Brother’s cheap son”.
But due to an unexpected event, they had met Fifth Brother’s ‘cheap son’ before nightfall.
The little guy was even more adorable and beautiful than in the pictures. Chu Dingbang liked him at first sight.
As soon as the little bugger got into Gu Junzhu’s arms, he embraced Gu Junzhu tightly and turned to look at him. His large shining black eyes stunned with tears. The sight of him instantly melting hearts.
He pinched the little guy’s soft cheeks and thought to himself, no wonder Fifth Brother is so happy to ‘play dad.’
This child is incredibly beautiful, like a fairy descended from the heavens.
If he wasn’t married, he’d also be pleased to have such a wonderful son.
Seeing that Gu Junzhu had carried the child away, Ye Xingbei immediately bent down to check on Lingyue.
She saw Lingyue’s small hand swollen and felt distressed, complained: “Sweetheart, haven’t I told you and Xiao Shu before that fighting is the job of adults? You should hide behind adults, as far away as possible. As long as you and Xiao Shu are fine, Auntie will be relieved.”
