Chapter 611: 614: Indeed, A Woman's Heart is the Most Poisonous

Ye Xingbei smiled without emotion, “Thank you for defending the hypocrite, but unfortunately, your nice intentions were wasted. I could barely feel consoled by that, really sorry.”

“I’m serious,” Gu Junzhu gently pinched her face, “Compared to cold-hearted women, I prefer the little hypocrites more. This means even if I mistakenly do something wrong in the future, I wouldn’t have to worry about you abruptly waking me up in the middle of the night to snap me out of it. It’s better to have a soft-hearted person beside you, right?”

Ye Xingbei glared at him, “What mistake are you planning to make? I’m easy-going, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a temper. If you dare to secretly have an affair behind my back, I will show you how the little white lotus can evolve into a dark one, and tie you up in your sleep to snap you out of it!”

“As the saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!” Gu Junzhu shook his head and tutted, “You’re so kind to others but so harsh on me. This difference in treatment is really getting me down!”

Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes and not wanting to continue the argument, she slowly sighed and said seriously, “For the sake of Brother Li, not for the monk’s sake but the Buddha’s. His kindness to me is heartfelt. The kindness that Ye Wuwei, Ye Zhitong, and Ye Xinglan showed to Brother Li are also sincere. How could I bear to make him like me, a child without parents?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Gu Junzhu shrugged his shoulders, then casually said: “It doesn’t matter if they’re well or not, as long as you are doing well. Now, Ye Xiaobei, tell me, are you happy now?”

“I’m happy,” Ye Xingbei tilted her head to look at him, flashing him a big grin, “When I saw Brother Li happily surrounding Ye Wuwei’s bed and laughing, my heart blossomed. I don’t need you to tell me, I myself feel that I’m shimmering with the halo of a saint!”

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, messing up her hair, “Good, good. You heartless and lungless person, nothing else to say, you are definitely happier than others.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course,” Ye Xingbei chuckled, “With my tumultuous past, if I didn’t try to stay positive, I would’ve been dead from worry by now, how could I have survived till now?”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, “Worrying wouldn’t kill you, but you could potentially have evolved into a dark-hearted, dark-livered hypocrite, mentally warped, cynical, thinking that the world has wronged you; that everyone owes you something. That is quite possible.”

Ye Xingbei chuckled lightly, tilting her head to rest on his shoulder. Her soft and sweet voice, coated in honey, said: “I’m glad I didn’t transform into what you just described. Otherwise, your family’s old patriarch wouldn’t have chosen me. Even if he had, we wouldn’t have been as compatible as we are now, able to live such joyful lives.”

She leaned in to give Gu Junzhu a peck on his cheek, then rested her head back on his shoulder, pulling his arm tightly around her: “Gu Junzhu, thank you for giving me a home. I am truly happy now, happier than I’ve ever been before!”

Actually, being indebted isn’t a pleasant feeling.

Having settled the debts and conflicts with the Ye family, she would no longer owe anyone anything, she wouldn’t have to please anyone, nor be subservient. It felt like a ginormous stone had lifted from her heart, a feeling of unprecedented relief.

That feels really good.

Gu Junzhu reached out to pull her into his arms, giving her forehead a gentle kis, “Great minds think alike. I also feel an unprecedented happiness in my life now… In celebration of our shared happiness, how about I treat you to dinner?”
