Chapter 857: Chapter 861: Gu Junzhu, You Did It on Purpose!
“Don’t worry,” Gu Junzhu patted her to comfort her, “as long as we have a suspect in mind, we’ll always figure out a solution. Right now, there are two things I’m waiting on responses from Xiao Seventh about. Once we have the answers, we’ll discuss our next steps.”
Ye Xingbei asked, “Is it about why Tan Jiaqi and Feng Yi got into a dispute, and whether there’s been any significant change in Zhang Shanshan’s life after the death of Feng Yushang’s mother?”
“Right,” Gu Junzhu said with a smile as he ruffled her hair, “Not bad, Ye Xiaobei, you’re getting better.”
Ye Xingbei swatted his hand away and laughed teasingly, “Should I thank Fifth Master for the complint?”
Gu Junzhu laughed, “That couldn’t be better…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the butler stepped in, and he stopped talking to look at the butler.
The butler bowed and reported, “Fifth Lord, Lady Fifth Lord, Fang Yixian is here to see Young Master Yao.”
Gu Junzhu said indifferently, “Go and notify Ah Yao.”
He stood up and took Ye Xingbei’s hand, “Co on, let’s go upstairs to rest. You didn’t sleep well last night; you need to catch up on so sleep.”
Ye Xingbei looked towards the living room’s exit, “But Xiao Shu…”
“With Xiao Qiao and Yanbing watching over, what else are you worried about?” Gu Junzhu said, without giving her the chance to argue, and started leading her upstairs, “Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes. Have you decided to give up on your beauty?”
Ye Xingbei pinched him with their intertwined hands, “I suspect you are mocking .”
Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at her, “Hmm?”
Ye Xingbei let go of his hand and took out her phone, pulling up a photo of a movie character nad Ruhua, “You look, you look, this is the ‘beauty’ of Ruhua.”
In the photo was a man dressed as a woman, and particularly, a very unkempt and exceptionally ugly man dressed as a woman, who had a gaping mouth and a face painted redder than a monkey’s butt. Despite being bulky and coarse like a man, he struck a woman’s coy pose, hideous enough to be unbearable to watch.
Gu Junzhu’s mouth twitched, and he pushed the phone away as quickly as possible, “Ye Xiaobei, please don’t gross out; it’s an eyesore, take it away quickly.”
Fifth Lord of Gu was thunderstruck, while Ye Xingbei, feeling very smug, cocked her head to look at him, “You’ve never seen this movie? It’s a classic!”
“Is it a cody?” Gu Junzhu said, “I don’t like codies. I prefer police, mystery, and horror movies… hey, that reminds …”
Speaking of this, Gu Junzhu seed to rember sothing and turned to look at her, “Ye Xiaobei, we’ve been together for quite a while now, and we’ve never watched a movie together. How about we go watch one tonight? What do you want to see?”
“Sure,” Ye Xingbei readily agreed, “Let’s take Xiao Shu and Xiao Yue with us. What do you want to see?”
“Why bring Xiao Shu and Xiao Yue?” Gu Junzhu objected, “Who brings kids to a movie when they’re dating? Just the two of us… You’re scared easily, aren’t you? Let’s watch a horror film then.”
“…” Ye Xingbei, speechless and annoyed, twisted his waist, “You know I’m easily scared and still want to watch a horror film; are you asking for a beating?”
Gu Junzhu caught her hand and laughed, “It’s precisely because you get scared easily that you need more practice. You have to beco a true warrior and face the weaknesses in your life head-on; I’m genuinely considering your best interests.”
“I really appreciate that,” Ye Xingbei said expressionlessly, “I did hear that many n with ulterior motives deliberately take girls to watch horror films. When the girls get scared, they can’t help but jump into their arms, and the n then take the chance to take advantage of them!”
