“Come to me if your foot hurts! I’ll massage it for you!” Gu Junzhu bent down to scoop Ye Xingbei into his arms, settling her on the sofa, before massaging her feet, “See, I can do this too! I’ll look up some videos on the computer later and learn from them. I promise I’ll do a better job than him!”

Ye Xingbei: “…Aren’t you working? Xueno is my personal bodyguard. His job is to protect me 24/7, and be at my beck and call. Can you do that?”

The look in Gu Junzhu’s eyes suddenly changed.

He scrutinized Ye Xingbei from head to toe, and then abruptly pinned her to the couch, biting down on her lips, “Darling, didn’t anyone ever tell you, never ask if a man ‘can’ or not? Don’t you know best if I ‘can’ or not?”

Ye Xingbei was speechless, wiping her mouth forcefully, “Are you insane?!

“You’re managing to bring that topic up even now!

Does that thing they say about men, having nothing other than ‘that’ thing on their minds, really apply here?

Gu Junzhu, still pressing her down, was relentless: “Go ahead and answer, ‘can’ I or not?”

Ye Xingbei:

Just how shameless could this Fifth Lord of Gu be?

Even more shameless than our Xiao Shu!

Even Xiao Shu isn’t this childish!

Ye Xingbei was overcome by exhaustion, too lazy to even push him off anymore. She spread her hands in surrender, letting him have his way, “Stop bullying Xueno. Xueno was a slave in the Beast Fighting Arena. He survived facing life-and-death situations there. His body is covered in scars, even his tongue was cut off. He’s incredibly pitiful!”

Ye Xingbei pressed her hand against Gu Junzhu’s face, squishing his handsome features, “Gu Junzhu, this is a solemn warning: don’t bully Xueno. Did you hear me? If you do, we’re done!”

Gu Junzhu pondered about Xueno’s attitude towards him, which was mostly satisfactory.

A sensible man indeed.

Even though his pretty face posed a threat, his actions didn’t indicate any intentions of stealing his wife.

As long as he doesn’t have an eye for his wife, everything else could be negotiated.

“Okay,” He agreed, nodding, “I won’t bully him. However, don’t let him massage your feet anymore. I’ll arrange for a few female foot therapists to be on call 24/7 instead. They’ll attend to you whenever your feet hurt, alright?”

Ye Xingbei looked at him disbelievingly: “Are you loaded or something?”

“Yes!” Gu Junzhu nodded seriously, “I have a ton of money, so much so that I can’t spend it all. I need you and Xiao Shumiao to help me out with it!”

“…” Ye Xingbei was torn between laughter and tears, striking him a few times, “Are you crazy?! I don’t agree! You have no idea how much my feet hurt. Xueno’s massages are on point! I’m used to them! It’s just a massage, why are you being so domineering, expecting me to change therapists just because you say so?! I won’t!”

“…” Gu Junzhu contemplated giving her a spank.

No wonder he never fancied the idea of marriage.

Nobody had ever dared to refuse him since he was a kid.

Even his father always indulged him. He was treated like a delicate, precious jewel. Everyone was always obedient to him, letting him have his way.

But that wasn’t the case with his wife.

She was quite the handful, neither accepting scolding nor tolerating beatings.

Even if he were willing, he couldn’t hit her.

Being labeled as a “wife-beater” would be such an embarrassment, wouldn’t it?

He could fire his subordinates, cut ties with friends, even find new business partners, but when it came to his wife, Gu Junzhu was completely helpless.

In the end, Ye Xingbei wouldn’t give an inch..
