Chapter 1443: Chapter 1447: How Does She Have the Nerve?
He looked down at Lingyue, caught in a dilemma.
“No need, Mrs. Ye,” Lingyue held Xiao Shumiao’s hand. “I’m used to sleeping with Xiao Shu. If I sleep beside soone else, I can’t fall asleep.”
Gu Junzhu: “…”
Thank goodness Senior Master Xiang isn’t here.
Otherwise, this wouldn’t just be a matter of spitting blood.
This would be a matter of stabbing directly at the heart!
Xiao Shumiao stopping Lingyue from sharing a room with Senior Master Xiang could be handled by Ye Xingbei dragging Xiao Shumiao away.
But Lingyue himself not wanting to stay with Senior Master Xiang—Ye Xingbei had no solution to that.
When it ca to Xiao Shumiao, she could scold, reprimand, or even punish him.
But when it ca to Lingyue, her approach leaned more toward indulgence and affection.
In their small town, there were elderly folks who used to say, “If you can pamper, pamper; punishing is harder.”
Her relationship with Lingyue now was basically like that.
No problem with endless pampering, but when it ca to discipline—especially in Senior Master Xiang’s presence—how could she bring herself to do it?
She could only persuade, not command. “Xiao Yue, your grandfather probably feels regretful for not raising you and wants to make it up to you.”
“I understand.” Lingyue looked at her, his eyes dark and shimring like gemstones. “Mrs. Ye, I’m not lying. If I sleep in the sa room as soone else, I genuinely can’t sleep.”
“Oh, oh,” Ye Xingbei quickly said, “I didn’t an to accuse you of lying… Never mind, you can sleep beside whoever you feel comfortable with.”
Whenever Ye Xingbei interacted with Lingyue, she felt a mix of emotions.
Careful, tentative, always afraid of unintentionally hurting this sensitive and pitiful child.
Compared to her, Gu Junzhu seed much more carefree—the type to handle things as they ca, whether it ant scolding or reprimanding as necessary.
Lingyue was clever enough never to cross Gu Junzhu’s boundaries, though. If he did, Ye Xingbei imagined Fifth Lord Gu wouldn’t hesitate to use a firm hand.
Gu Junzhu certainly wouldn’t hold back out of consideration for Senior Master Xiang.
…How she envied people with such carefree mindset!
Gu Junzhu’s injuries were minor. After resting for a day and a night, he practically felt back to normal, with Senior Master Gu none the wiser.
Instead, matters regarding the Situ family ca up. During casual conversations, Qiao Zui and Mi Sheng didn’t conceal anything and ntioned it to Senior Master Gu.
Senior Master Gu, being soone who had weathered countless storms, reacted calmly, showing no surprise. He rely reminded Qiao Zui to keep an eye on Mi Sheng and ensure no harm ca to the pregnancy.
Mi Sheng felt another wave of guilt, thinking that indeed soone had been caught in the crossfire—but it wasn’t her; it was Gu Junzhu.
Thankfully, the old master didn’t know. If he did, he’d surely feel a mix of worry and heartbreak.
She had long observed that in the Gu Family, both Gu Junzhu and Qiao Zui were extraordinarily careful about tending to Senior Master Gu, going out of their way not to cause him stress or anger.
Their care for Senior Master Gu was comparable to nurturing a child.
The old master equally doted on them, treating them as treasures, granting every request, indulging them completely.
She admired this familial atmosphere deeply.
It lacked scheming and deceit and brimd instead with mutual care, warm affection, and harmonious joy.
How fortunate she was to marry into such a family.
She loved Qiao Zui.
She loved this family.
Just like she had told Situ Jinse: for this family and for Qiao Zui, she was willing to give everything she had.

Joyful days flowed like streams in the woods, bubbling and rushing by briskly.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
During this ti, Ye Xingbei shifted the focus of her life toward the establishnt of her studio.
The preliminary recruitnt for her studio had already been completed.
