Chapter 423: 424 He Didn't Want This Kind of Empathy

Ye Xingbei blushed and scolded him, “What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?”

“Denying it won’t change anything,” Gu Junzhu said, grinning smugly. “It’s clear as day. You are jealous!”

Ye Xingbei snorted and jabbed a finger into his chest. “So what if I’m jealous? We’re legally married now! There may not be love between us, but there has to be loyalty! If you dare to cheat on me or flirt with another woman, we’ll part ways immediately. I don’t want to share a man with some other woman!” “Jealous women are really terrifying!” Gu Junzhu shook his head and sighed. “I’m steadfast and clear about my intentions, yet you’re still jealous. What would you do if I had shown even the slightest tenderness to that young girl?”

Ye Xingbei chuckled and rolled her eyes, “Believe me, you wouldn’t want to know! Once you do find out, you’re bound to regret it!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” Gu Junzhu wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “A smart man like me, why would I mess around and make my wife jealous? Didn’t you see how well I just behaved? Don’t I deserve a reward?”

Ye Xingbei pushed him away, her face expressionless. “No, you don’t!”

At this point, she found it difficult to face words like “reward”, “fun”, “conditions”, and so on.

Because these words were all connected to one thing.

The bed!

Her stamina wasn’t as good as the Fifth Lord of Gu’s, and she certainly didn’t want to roll in the sheets endlessly with him… even though the Fifth Lord of Gu was quite skilled.

Just as Gu Junzhu was about to say something, Ye Xingbei’s phone rang.

Ye Xingbei took out her phone and glanced at it. “My brother.”

She answered the phone, “Big brother?”

Xie Yunlin’s voice sounded a bit rushed, “Beibei, I’ve arrived in Jiang City. Where are you? I’ll come find you.”

Xie Yunlin kept in mind that he was here to help his sister out of a predicament.

He and Xie Jinfei had booked the earliest tickets for this morning. They hadn’t slept at all last night.

Ye Xingbei glanced at Gu Junzhu. “Big brother, I’m at Gu Junzhu’s villa. Do you want me to pick you up?”

“No need,” Xie Yunlin said, “Someone is already on their way to pick me up from the airport. I’ll come by myself.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu. “My big brother and second brother will be here soon. Should we call Brother Lan and Brother Li over?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Sure.”

An hour later.

Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei arrived.

Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli also came.

After the small talk, Xie Yunlin asked Ye Xingbei with concern, “Beibei, what’s going on? Why do you look so drained?”

He cast a wary glance at Gu Junzhu.

If Gu Junzhu had bullied his sister, he would stand up for her no matter what, even if he wasn’t a match for the Fifth Lord of Gu.

Gu Junzhu glanced at Xie Yunlin, “Xiao Lin, do you know what Beibei’s recent catchphrase is?”

Xie Yunlin: “…No, I don’t. Also, Fifth Brother, you can call me Yunlin or Ah Lin. Don’t call me Xiao Lin. No one has ever called me that. It feels weird.”

“It’s okay,” the Fifth Lord of Gu said at ease. “I’ll call you that a few more times. You’ll get used to it.”

Xie Yunlin:”…”

He didn’t want to get used to it.

Forget it. He wouldn’t argue with the Fifth Lord of Gu over such trivial matters!

He cleared his throat. “So, what is Beibei’s recent catchphrase?”

Gu Junzhu smiled slightly, “Having a brain is a good thing. I hope you have it!”

Xie Yunlin:”…!”

Gu Junzhu looked innocently at him, “I wasn’t talking about you. I was talking about Beibei’s catchphrase..”
