Chapter 415: Chapter 416: Those Involved are Confused
“Really?” Ye Xingbei blinked, feigning ignorance: “I remember you saying otherwise.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and shook his head, “No wonder people say that women are fickle and incomprehensible beings.”
He flicked the gemstone bracelet on Ye Xingbei’s wrist: “I should have recorded what you’ve said!”
Ye Xingbei huffed, stuck her tongue out at him, “What I meant to say was that I might fall in love with you in the future, but I am definitely not in love with you now!”
“Why?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow: “I’m so perfect.”
Ye Xingbei snorted, giving him a look of disbelief: “If your skin was a few millimeters thinner, then maybe, just maybe, you could be considered perfect.”
Gu Junzhu sighed and shook his head: “These days, one can’t even speak the truth. I just like to be honest, and then people say I have a thick skin… ah, it’s hard to be a straightforward person who likes to speak the truth.”
“…” Ye Xingbei giggled.
Who’s the one finding it hard again?
However, she did genuinely enjoy her current lifestyle.
Even if there was no romantic love between her and Gu Junzhu, they now shared a familial love.
In the very beginning, living with this man was a matter of circumstance, done reluctantly and unwillingly.
Now, she found it enjoyable and felt that her life was very peaceful and secure.
If things continue like this, maybe she could actually look forward to them falling in love over time.
“By the way,” Ye Xingbei seemed to recall something, looking out the car window: “Where are we going for dinner?”
Unbeknownst to her, the car had driven far away from the Star Palace.
Gu Junzhu casually replied: “Back home, my father has arrived.”
“Senior Gu is here?” Ye Xingbei was surprised: “Why is Senior Gu here?”
It had been a long time since she last saw Senior Master Gu.
And she didn’t want to see him.
Based on her relationship with Gu Junzhu, she would have to call Senior Master Gu “dad” when she saw him.
But she just couldn’t make herself say it.
This was going to be the death of her.
“Who knows?” Gu Junzhu seemed uninterested: “It must have been a sudden urge.”
Ye Xingbei had nothing to say.
Did a father need a reason to visit his son’s home?
Absolutely not!
A few minutes later, the car entered the Gu Family mansion.
Upon stepping into the living room, Ye Xingbei saw the sprightly Senior Master Gu.
Senior Master Gu was seated on the sofa in the living room, and beside him sat a pretty girl in her twenties.
Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei’s hand as soon as they entered the living room.
He greeted Senior Master Gu with a “dad”, saw to it that Ye Xingbei sat opposite Senior Master Gu, and only then did he sit down himself.
Ye Xingbei felt extremely awkward, but still looked towards Senior Master Gu and managed to utter “dad”.
No matter what, she and Gu Junzhu were a legally married couple.
As Gu Junzhu provided her and Xiao Shu a shelter from the storm, she should also help Gu Junzhu in fulfilling his filial duties.
“Good, good,” Senior Master Gu looked at Ye Xingbei, his face beaming with a smile, “Beibei, has Junzhu been good to you?”
Ye Xingbei nodded: “He’s been very good to me.”
“That’s wonderful, wonderful,” Senior Master Gu turned to Gu Junzhu, chuckling: “I’m glad I listened to the master. The master was right, Beibei is indeed a wife who brings her husband good fortune! Look, ever since Beibei married into the family, your chronic illness hasn’t acted up once, and you’re looking more and more spirited. All of this is Beibei’s credit.”
Ye Xingbei sighed inwardly.
Poor Senior Master Gu!
Even now, he still believed that his son used to be seriously ill.
Little did he know that it was all a lie invented by the Fifth Lord of Gu to escape arranged dates!
Senior Master Gu seemed shrewd, yet he was tricked by his own son.
Even now, he still believed that the Fifth Lord of Gu’s health had improved because he had married her!
This must be a case of being blind to the obvious, right?
