Chapter 656: 659: Why do you lock the door in broad daylight?

He planted a kiss on Ye Xingbei’s fine, pale neck, then sighed contently, “So tender, so fragrant! Especially the stamen, oozing with sweet nectar, it’s rich and wonderfully fragrant.”

“…” Ye Xingbei’s face turned beet red, pushing and hammering him away, “Stay away from me! Can’t you be serious for once? Are you really from a wealthy, prestigious family? You’re ruining your image!”

“What noble young master?” Gu Junzhu embraced her, his cheek resting against her neck as he chuckled lowly, “The man holding you right now, has rolled in mud, slept in the most desolate places, drank water from mountains and streams, eaten dry bread that can knock a man out. Have you ever seen a noble young master like this?”

Ye Xingbei: “…Even if you’re not a noble young master, you should at least have some basic decency, right? You’ve got no shame!”

“So this is being shameless?” Gu Junzhu held her tighter, his lips grazing her ear, “Honey, the place I used to stay was practically a monk’s temple, where even female mosquitoes were rare. A group of men would go the whole year without seeing a woman, relying on telling jokes to survive. I’ve got plenty of jokes, and I could tell a new one every day for a year without repeating. That one just now was a subtle joke. I can also ride a wild imaginary horse, honey, do you want to hop on?”

Ye Xingbei spat at him: “…Try it! If you do, you’re sleeping on the sofa tonight!”

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, pinching her cheek, “What’s this, honey? I haven’t even started riding the horse, and you’re already thinking about punishing me with the sofa?”

Ye Xingbei: “…Don’t push me!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t say any more.” The Fifth Lord of Gu raised his hands in surrender, bent down to give her a kiss, but before he could say anything else, there was a knock at the door.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Daddy, Mommy!” Xiao Shumiao’s crisp voice sounded from outside the door, “You said you’d take me and Brother Xiaoyue out to play, right? Can we go today?”

Ye Xingbei hurriedly got up from Gu Junzhu’s lap, straightened her clothes and hair, cleared her throat: “Yes!”

She quickly walked over and realized the door had been locked from the inside at some point – no wonder Xiao Shumiao couldn’t come in.

Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes, annoyed. That rascal definitely had ulterior motives. Luckily, her precious son arrived just in time.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Shumiao rushed in, launching himself into Ye Xingbei’s arms and looked up at her, “Mommy, why were you locking the door in broad daylight? Is it because you were about to do something that kids shouldn’t see with Daddy?”

The corner of Ye Xingbei’s mouth twitched as she smacked the back of his head a little, “Stop talking nonsense!”

“Isn’t it?” Xiao Shumiao touched Ye Xingbei’s belly with disappointment, “Aren’t you and Daddy trying for a little sister for me?”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Son, you ask too many questions!

Gu Junzhu walked over laughing, lifting Xiao Shumiao into his arms and flicked his forehead, “Where do you want to play?”

The little guy’s attention was instantly diverted. “Anywhere is fine! Let’s go where Daddy thinks is the most fun!”

“Alright!” Gu Junzhu kissed him, carrying him out the door. “Let’s take our little Xiao Shu to the most fun place!”

Ye Xingbei followed behind him and Xiao Shumiao, naturally holding Lingyue’s hand.

Lingyue obediently let her hold his hand, walking steadily by her side.

She looked down at Lingyue, a tender smile spreading on her face.

Lingyue also looked up at her—although he didn’t smile, his little face wasn’t as tensed as before. His eyes were glossy black, filled with closeness and trust as he looked into hers.

She can’t resist gently touching his cheek, her smile deepening.
