"Fool," Gu Junzhu said with a delighted chuckle, giving her a kiss, "it’s quite a coincidence, I feel the sa way. I’d rather burn myself than see you get hurt."
He tapped Ye Xingbei’s forehead, "Ye Xiaobei, you are my Gu Junzhu’s woman! If you got hurt right under my nose, where would I put my face?"
Ye Xingbei chided him, "Vainly worrying about face even to your own suffering!"
"What about you?" Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at her: "I’d rather hurt myself than see you get hurt. If that’s vainly worrying about face to my own suffering, when you’d rather get hurt than see injured, what would you call that?"
Ye Xingbei looked at him, montarily at a loss for words.
What was it?
She didn’t know either.
But seeing Gu Junzhu getting scalded, she was instantly reminded of how she felt when Xiao Shu was injured by an older child as a little boy.
Back then, she was still living with the Ye Family.
An older child from a family nearby, wanting to snatch Xiao Shu’s toy, ended up making Xiao Shu cry, leaving several purple and blue bruises on his pale little arms.
Upon hearing Xiao Shu’s cries, she ran out only to see the child still brandishing the toy he had snatched, taunting Xiao Shu.
Xueno tried to snatch back Xiao Shu’s toy but was blocked by the child’s bodyguard.
At that ti, her status in the Ye Family was lowly, and together with Xueno and Yu Nuo, they lived in constant trepidation.
Even though the child’s bodyguard was no match for Xueno, Xueno, not wanting to cause trouble for her, held back and ended up being suppressed and beaten by the bodyguards.
Seeing her precious son being bullied and her own bodyguard being mistreated, her anger surged and she cast all caution to the wind, rushing forward to give that adolescent a severe beating until his nose was blue and his face swollen.
Bullying soone younger is not right.
She understood that principle.
But seeing Xiao Shu’s tear-streaked, red little face, and the fresh bruises on his tender white arms, no amount of reason mattered anymore.
At that mont, she didn’t want to be the person who understood right from wrong; all she wanted was to avenge her son and Xueno.
She beat that teenager until he curled up on the ground, begging for rcy.
The child’s bodyguards tried to step in to rescue him.
Worried that she would be at a disadvantage, Xueno finally showed his true ability and defeated the several bodyguards decisively.
Although Ye Xinglan was strict with her, he was protective.
If she did sothing wrong, he might punish her, but he would never allow her to be humiliated by outsiders.
So afterwards, even though she was severely punished by Ye Xinglan, the child who was beaten to a bloody pulp was also brought by his parents to the Ye Family to apologize to her and Xiao Shu.
Since then, the children in the neighborhood never dared to bully Xiao Shu again.
Her feelings after seeing Gu Junzhu hurt were no different from how she felt when she saw Xiao Shu hurt back then.
Reason had vanished, and she did not want to heed right from wrong.
She only wished to take his place, wishing it was her who got hurt.
And then, her thoughts turned to seeking revenge for him, to vent his anger.
Although Gu Junzhu asked a question, he wasn’t actually insisting on an answer from her.
What the answer was, didn’t really matter.
What mattered was that she was unscathed.
That was perfect.
He patted her back, closed his eyes, and said lazily, "It’s late, let’s sleep."
Ye Xingbei humd in agreent, "I’m also not sure if Uncle Situ managed to save him."
Gu Junzhu said: "We’ll know tomorrow."
Although he only t Situ Xu once, he did harbor a little hope that Situ Xu was safe and sound. But to be constantly worried? Absolutely not.
