Although the little one was clinging to him, it was evident that the person closest and dearest to his heart was Ye Xingbei.

Seeing Ye Xingbei still asleep, the little fellow grew anxious and stayed by her side, refusing to leave.

The more Gu Junzhu interacted with the affectionate child, the more he liked him.

What difference did it make that they were not biologically related?

Such a loyal and affectionate child, if he was raising him, then he was his.

Once the child grew up, he would still respect him!

Knowing that his son was still hungry, Ye Xingbei quickly got out of bed to wash up and change her clothes.

While washing her face, she glanced at herself in the mirror.

The medicine Gu Junzhu gave her was indeed miraculous.

Just one night, her face, which was previously covered with a palette of blues and purples, was now left with faint traces.

Although it still looked awful, it was no longer terrifying to look at.

She estimated that in a few more days, she would fully recover.

Ye Xingbei sighed in relief.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

With such an unsightly face, she was even embarrassed to meet people.

Ye Xingbei usually didn’t wear makeup, but today to cover the scars on her face, she deliberately applied light makeup after cleaning herself.

After applying a thin layer of BB cream over the faint scars, the marks on her face were obscured even further.

Feeling satisfied, she left the bathroom and then held her son’s hand to go downstairs for a meal.

Little one’s left hand was held by Ye Xingbei and his right hand immediately reached out for Gu Junzhu’s.

As they walked downstairs, he tucked his short legs in and excitedly shouted, “Mommy and Daddy, swing me, swing me!”

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei mutually raised the hand they were holding in unison.

The little fellow was light. When his short legs pulled in, his body lifted off the ground and was carried downstairs by Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei from both sides.

Ye Xingbei was worried that it might hurt his little arms, but he was just smiling in excitement. After landing, he tugged at Gu Junzhu’s clothes, bent Gu Junzhu’s waist down and hugged his neck, giving him a loud “muah”!

Then, he laughed cheerfully and ran excitedly towards the dining room like a dancing swallow.

Ye Xingbei followed behind him with a smile on her face, full of comfort, yet with a hint of sadness.

Back in the Ye family, her son had never laughed this happily.

He was so young, but he was serious and calm, with none of the childlike innocence typical for his age.

Could it be that he knew too, that the Ye family was not their home.

And he regarded this place as his real home.

She glanced at Gu Junzhu and suddenly felt the urge to seriously invest in this marriage.

It didn’t matter if she and Gu Junzhu weren’t in love for now.

They had a marriage certificate.

They were legally married.

Without love, they could cultivate affection over time, living together day in, day out.

In this world, there are many couples who don’t marry for love, but for various reasons, they end up living together.

Especially common are business alliances in the market.

She and Gu Junzhu could do the same.

Even without love, she could manage this marriage well, spend a lifetime with Gu Junzhu, and make her son see this place as his home for his entire life, where he could be carefree and happy every day!

Gu Junzhu noticed something unusual in her gaze and flicked her forehead, “What are you thinking? You’re about to bump into the door frame!”

Ye Xingbei quickly shook her head, “I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

She walked quickly into the dining room and sat down next to her son.

As for spending a lifetime together with him, she would keep it to herself. There was no need to tell him.

He always played his cards in an unpredictable manner. If she told him, who knew what irrelevant things he would say, or what unpredictable things he would do..
