Chapter 404 - 405: So Torturous!

Ye Xingbei placed her palm on the gemstone bracelet and gently caressed it. “No need, I just love this one.”

Gu Junzhu stared at her for a while, shaking his head. “I really don’t understand you women! Gifts are meant to be used. What’s there to hesitate about?”

Ye Xingbei snorted and shot him a look. “It’s my choice. Mind your own business?”

“Really fierce!” Gu Junzhu clucked his tongue. “You’re so fierce, yet you have the audacity to say I’m scary. Who’s actually scary between the two of us?”

“Of course you are scary,” Ye Xingbei stuck her tongue out at him. “My Brother Lan, who’s typically super fierce and solemn, becomes meek in front of you. If that’s not scary, then what is?”

Mentioning Ye Xinglan, Gu Junzhu thought about how Ye Xinglan had once been harsh towards Ye Xingbei.

The information said that Ye Xinglan once flogged Ye Xingbei into unconsciousness.

Gu Junzhu suddenly felt an unexplainable heartache.

Could Ye Xinglan really bear to do this to such a delicate kid?

If he had been the one who had saved Ye Xingbei back then, he would have pampered her to bits, not letting her experience any hardship or taste any bitterness.

“He deserved it, he’s a blind fool. Bumbling and stupid, of course he would become meek in front of this intelligent me.” Gu Junzhu reached out to playfully ruffle Ye Xingbei’s hair. “Ye Xiaobei, I wish I was the one who picked you up back then, taken care of you, pampered you, and played with you all day.”

Ye Xingbei blushed and spat at him. “Get lost! I was only sixteen when Brother Li took me back to the Ye family!”

“Sixteen is a bit young,” Gu Junzhu said in deep thought. “Well, I’ll suffer a bit and raise you for two years. When you’re eighteen, we can definitely play as we wish.”

Ye Xingbei: “…Can’t you think about anything else?”

“I’m old?” Gu Junzhu squinted his eyes, pulling Ye Xingbei into his arms. “Where am I old? I’m not old, I’m just grown-up!”

His palm was hot, even through her clothes, Ye Xingbei could sense the danger.

Ye Xingbei’s blush intensified as she pushed him away with all her might. “Respectful title! I didn’t say you were old. You’re in your prime, young and promising, vibrant and fresh!”

“My… greatness, is the truth!” Gu Junzhu pressed his forehead against hers, his palm cradling the back of her head, chortled, “You know…”

YeXingbei: “…Scram!”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be a lady, and not to curse, but this guy was just too much, she couldn’t hold back!

Gu Junzhu’s lips pressed against hers, gently grinding, his voice dangerously seductive, “Scram… rolling under the bed sheet?… Darling, are you inviting me?”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

In the future, she won’t be able to look at that word the same way.

It’s a sin!

With a strong pull from Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei lost her balance and fell towards the blanket.

Just before she hit the blanket, Gu Junzhu’s arm caught her and gently laid her on the blanket.

The bottom of the hot air balloon was covered with a white, long-haired blanket. Laying on it felt soft and warm.

Gu Junzhu pressed her under him and gently kissed her. “Ye XiaobeL.you’re right. Even if we’re just partners, we’re the most compatible of them all…”

Gu Junzhu started to undress her. “Whether in soul or body… we are absolutely compatible…”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

She wanted to tell him to scram, but worried that Fifth Lord of Gu might interpret that as encouragement!

It’s too torturous!

She struggled. “What if someone sees us?”
