Chapter 1480: Chapter 1484 Gu Junzhu… Why are you so good to ?
I don’t know if it was because she was shy or because she feared his answer wouldn’t be what she wanted to hear.
She couldn’t help but bury her face into his chest, taking in his familiar scent deeply.
Does it even matter?
What’s love, after all?
Whether it’s friendship, familial affection, or just habit, it didn’t change the fact that in a month, she would be the one walking down the aisle with him. She would be the one spending the rest of her life with him, raising children and growing old together.
What kind of feelings they were—did it really matter?
Gu Junzhu hooked her chin, lifting her face to et his gaze. “Ye Xiaobei, I feel like you’re acting strange today. What’s wrong? Did soone upset you?”
“No,” Ye Xingbei shook her head with a smile. “Maybe I just don’t feel well… and it’s making a little fragile…”
She let go of his neck and instead wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face deeply into his chest, mumbling, “Just now, when I was ho, I woke up and found no one beside . I felt so wronged… I really wanted to see you…”
“Silly girl!” Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, leaning down to kiss her. “Alright, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left you alone while you’re feeling weak from being sick and co to the office on my own. I shouldn’t have made you, still unwell, co all the way here to find . I won’t do it again, okay?”
“That’s not it!” Ye Xingbei squird in embarrassnt. “It’s not your fault… I don’t even know what’s wrong with … I just… I just suddenly felt so lonely…”
Even she found it a little unbelievable.
She wasn’t a child who had grown up basking in sweetness; on the contrary, she had grown up drinking the bitterest of herbal teas.
When she was little, in their small town, she had to get up before dawn to work. She ate barely enough, wore clothes that didn’t keep her warm, and was beaten often. She wouldn’t even shed a tear.
Later, when she was with Ye Xinglan, even though he falsely accused her and beat her black and blue, she would do nothing more than cry secretly in her room, quietly ending it there.
But now, with just a mild fever and a sore throat, waking up and not seeing Gu Junzhu made her feel so aggrieved.
She had beco delicate.
She suddenly rembered sothing she had heard before: Only children who are loved cry.
If no one loves you, crying is useless, so you stop crying altogether.
So… was it because she had soone who cared about her now that she had grown so delicate?
She tilted her face upward to look at Gu Junzhu, her gaze dreamy and srized.
So… he cared about her!
Whether it was friendship or kinship didn’t matter.
What mattered was that she could feel it—he cared about her, he valued her!
That’s why, at the slightest hint of grievance, she couldn’t help but go to him, wanting to hear his voice, wanting him to hold her…
“What’s got you looking so silly again?” Gu Junzhu’s heart lted under her dazed, adoring gaze. One arm held her waist while his other hand cupped the back of her head. He leaned close to her lips and kissed her lightly. “Alright, this ti it was my mistake. Next ti, if you’re sick, I won’t leave you. Even if I have to go sowhere, I’ll take you with . How about that?”
The matter at the company today had been extrely important; he had to deal with it personally.
The Gu Group had tens of thousands of employees. As their leader, he had a responsibility to them. He couldn’t act like an indifferent ruler from ancient tis, indulging in pleasure while neglecting his duties.
But he could bring her along.
His voice was as tender as flowing water, lting Ye Xingbei’s heart completely.
Looking up at him, Ye Xingbei asked dreamily, “Gu Junzhu… why are you so good to ?”
Gu Junzhu t her gaze and chuckled softly. “Because you’re worth it.”
The corners of Ye Xingbei’s lips couldn’t help but curve upward.
She tried to hide her smile, but no matter how hard she pressed her lips, she couldn’t suppress it.
Feeling embarrassed, she wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face against his chest. Her voice muffled, she asked, “But why… why am I worth it?”
