Gu Junzhu: “Ahem.”
He turned to Ye Xingli and Ye Xingbei: “Xiao Li, Beibei, I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s take Xiao Shu for a family dinner.”
Young Ye Yiyang looked at Gu Junzhu and then at Ye Xingbei and Ye Xingli. His little face tightened, bringing out a bit of the scholarly air that Gu Junzhu imagined he had, “Dad, you and Mom are a couple, and Mom’s brother is your brother too, right? Why do you call my uncle Xiao Li? Shouldn’t you call my uncle Second Brother?”
Ye Xingli: “…Oh, right! You should…”
Ye Xingli’s eyes lit up, and he swiftly turned his head to look at Gu Junzhu, intending to say that since Gu claid to be his sister’s husband, he should be calling him Second Brother just like his sister.
However, he was instantly cowed in the face of Gu Junzhu’s calm gaze.
The words got lodged in his throat and he swallowed hard, then patted Young Ye Yiyang’s head in a resigned manner, “Sweetie, your dad is older. Uncle Li is your granddad’s junior. It’s not right for your dad to call Uncle Li Second Brother, just calling him by his na is good enough, hehe, just calling him by his na is good enough!”
Ye Xingbei:
Second Brother, is it really okay for you to be so spineless?
Honestly, it wasn’t until this very mont that she fully recognized Gu Junzhu’s forcefulness.
Before Gu Junzhu ca along, the only person who could make her Second Brother back down instantly was their eldest brother!
Second Brother would butt heads with everyone and everything, always going from strength to strength, taking great pleasure in such confrontations.
But when he encountered Gu Junzhu, he lost his nerve imdiately, not daring to utter a word of refusal. It’s clear how fearso Gu Junzhu is!
Now more than ever, she felt that agreeing to let Gu Junzhu be Xiao Shu’s father was the most idiotic decision she had ever made in her lifeti.
However, the lie had already been told, and the arrow had been released. She couldn’t turn back now.
She could only try to keep the lie going.
Hopefully, she could uphold it until Xiao Shu grew up!
Since neither Ye Xingli nor Ye Xingbei objected to Gu Junzhu’s proposal, Gu Junzhu, holding Xiao Shu, along with Ye Xingbei began to walk towards his car.
Ye Xingli headed towards where his car was parked.
Gu Chi opened the car door for Ye Xingbei and she got in first.
When Gu Junzhu, holding Young Ye Yiyang, bent down to the sit in the car, Young Ye Yiyang, hugging his neck, asked: “Dad, you didn’t answer just now! Can you climb up tall buildings with your bare hands?”
“…” Gu Junzhu’s foot slid a bit, nearly causing him to drop Ye Yiyang from his arms.
Young Ye Yiyang, aren’t you a genius child?
Being a genius child, couldn’t you see that I was deliberately avoiding the question by proposing to go have a al?
Why was I avoiding the question?
Isn’t it because… I can’t climb up tall buildings with my bare hands!
Even if he could, his subordinates wouldn’t dare to let him do it!
Being Senior Gu’s only son, if he dared to climb high buildings with his bare hands, his subordinates would probably demolish the building!
Seeing Gu Junzhu rendered speechless by her son’s question, Ye Xingbei burst into laughter internally, but had to play peacemaker: “Xiao Shu, your dad is a brain worker, he talks instead of doing manual work. Climbing buildings is not his strength.”
“Oh!” The little fellow nodded seriously, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Gu Junzhu: “I get it now. Dad is like Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, making strategies from within the tent and winning battles thousands of miles away! Climbing buildings is the job of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun.. It’s enough for Dad to use the Empty Fort Strategy!”
