Gu Junzhu cords Bai Linglong’s little foot in his hand, his face cold as he says, “No foot massages either! How can a girl’s feet be touched by a man!”

Ye Xingbei:”… Gu Junzhu, which decade did you come from? Why are your thoughts so old-fashioned? What age are we in? Why are you still holding such outdated views? I walked too much and my feet hurt. What’s wrong with having my bodyguard massage them?”

Gu Junzhu clenches the small foot in his hand, only to turn and askXueno, “Is he your bodyguard?”

Xueno doesn’t recognize Gu Junzhu, but seeing him holding Ye Xingbei so intimately in his arms, and still clutching one of her feet in his palm, he looks astonished.

Only when Ye Xingbei noticed Xueno’s astonished expression did she snap back to reality. Remembering her foot was still in Gu Junzhu’s grip, her cute face instantly flushed crimson as she began to struggle vehemently, “Gu Junzhu, let go! What are you doing?”

Gu Junzhu not only did not let go of her foot but also gave it a few more squeezes, raising his eyebrow as he asked, “Why? The bodyguard can touch, but your husband can’t?”

Upon hearing his words, Xueno’s eyes widened in surprise.

Husband?

The young miss had only been back in the country for a few days, and now she had suddenly acquired a husband?

Ye Xingbei’s charming face turned beet red, her foot struggling hard in Gu Junzhu’s hand, “First let me go, or I’m going to get angry!”

Xueno, still watching from the sidelines, thinks it’s absurd that Gu Junzhu insists on holding her foot, does this look alright to him?

“Not letting go!” Gu Junzhu kept her foot firmly in his grip, and even tightened his hold on her as a whole. He placed a kiss near her ear, “Ye Xiaobei, I warn you! You are a married woman now; maintain a distance with other men! I don’t want the grass on my head to grow verdant!”

“What are you talking about?” Ye Xingbei is exasperated, pushing him hard, “Xueno is my personal guard, how am I supposed to keep my distance from him?”

“Replace!” was Gu Junzhu’s resolute reply: “Find a female! If you can’t find one, I’ll help you find one!”

Xueno finally understood what was going on.

The young lady’s husband, who just had an argument with him, was truly unhappy with him and insisted that the young lady replace him.

Facing this reality, his face turned pale as he bent his knees, kneeled before Gu Junzhu, and with his palms down, pressed his forehead to the ground and called out, “Son-in-law.”

Gu Junzhu:”… Son-in-law?”

Only after a moment did he recall that this was a term of address used by the wife’s servants for their mistress’s husband.

These two syllables worked miracles on his previously frigid and agitated mood.

Son-in-law.

Although these two syllables don’t sound particularly nice, the significance they carry makes him feel quite satisfied.

With his forehead pressed to the ground and a trembling voice, Xueno pleaded, “I beg you, don’t make me leave the little lady. From now on, I will definitely listen to you!”

Xueno was honest and sincere, but he wasn’t stupid.

Based on the scenario just now, he knew that Gu Junzhu was jealous.

Since Gu Junzhu was married to their young lady, he had to satisfy him in order to continue to serve her.

So, he didn’t hesitate to kneel down and beg.

In Country Z, pressing down one’s palms, bowing one’s upper body to the ground, with one’s forehead close to the floor, is considered the greatest act of submission.

Witnessing Xueno’s salute to Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei felt a sudden pang of discomfort. Angrily pushing Gu Junzhu away, she put on her shoes and hurried over to Xueno’s side. Bending down to help him up, she said, “Xueno, ignore him.. He’s just crazy and loves to freak out! Don’t mind him!”
