Chapter 35: You Little Rascal

“…” Ye Xingbei felt so powerless that she wanted to vomit blood out of frustration.

Young Fifth Master Gu, haven’t you adjusted into your role too quickly!

She slapped Gu Junzhu’s hand away fiercely and alighted from the car by herself.

Just as her feet touched the ground, she heard her second brother, Ye Xingli’s voice, “Eh? Bei Bei, why have you come to fetch Xiao Shu as well? Didn’t we agree that I’ll pick him up?”

Ye Xingbei tilted her head to look over as Ye Xingli strode towards her while wearing a large pair of sunglasses on his face.

Ye Xingbei turned her head to look at Gu Junzhu subconsciously.

She hadn’t reported about what had happened between her and Gu Junzhu to Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli yet.

Firstly, she couldn’t open her mouth and start talking about how she had slept with Gu Junzhu as soon as she returned to the country with her two brothers. In addition, she had been deceived into obtaining a marriage certificate.

Her eldest brother was still all right; her second brother would definitely carry dynamites over to bomb the Jiang family and Gu family no matter what.

Secondly, she hadn’t taken Gu Junzhu seriously at all.

She had thought that she would make use of this opportunity to return to her parental home and explain everything clearly to Gu Junzhu. Afterwards, she would get a divorce certificate with Gu Junzhu and pretend that nothing had happened between the two of them.

She never expected that during this journey back to her parental home, not only did she fail to get a divorce certificate from Gu Junzhu, she was also duped into pretending to be his wife; so they would have to continue passing their days in this partnership.

Now, how was she going to introduce Gu Junzhu to Second Brother?

Before she had decided, Ye Xingli had already noticed Gu Junzhu standing beside Ye Xingbei. Removing his sunglasses, he looked at Gu Junzhu warily and asked, “Oh? Isn’t this Fifth Master? Nice to meet you! Why is Fifth Master with my younger sister? Did you meet by coincidence?

Gu Junzhu chuckled lightly, “Is this Xiao Li?”

He grasped Ye Xingbei’s shoulder, “Bei Bei didn’t tell you? We got married and have even received our marriage certificate so I’m her husband now! It’s the negligence of our Gu family to not have invited Bei Bei’s friends and family over for dinner yet. But Xiao Li, don’t worry. When we have a chance in the future, we’ll definitely make up for it.”

Xiao… Li?

The corner of Ye Xingli’s mouth twitched.

He felt annoyed when other people learned from his older brother and called him Xiao Li—making it seem like he hadn’t weaned off from his mother yet.

Unfortunately, even if other people didn’t have the right to call him that, Gu Junzhu definitely had the qualifications to do so.

Who made him the son that Old Master Gu had later in life? According to the seniority of Old Master Gu’s generation, Gu Junzhu was born a whole generation above other peers his age.

Many people who were older than him even had to call him, “Fifth Uncle”.

Some people weren’t willing to call him that so they either addressed him as “CEO Gu” or “Fifth Master”.

Among members of the most distinguished upper-class society in Beijing, he was the renowned “Fifth Master”.

Gu Junzhu’s father was an important minister who had made heroic contributions to the country. He had begat five sons and daughters in his lifetime yet they all died so that only this youngest son was left; this was why he doted on Gu Junzhu like he was his life.

The old master could put everything he had on the line to fight with anyone who dared to touch a hair on this “Fifth Master”.

Who would dare to provoke this kind of existence?

Being called his most disliked nickname “Xiao Li”, Ye Xingli’s mouth twitched repeatedly for some time before he regained his senses all of a sudden. “W-what? Y-y-you… You got married and collected a marriage certificate with my younger sister already?”

Before Gu Junzhu could speak, a crisp, cheerful and excited voice—still carrying a hint of childishness in it—rang behind them, “Mommy, Young Uncle!”

Ye Xingbei followed the sound to look over and her face immediately lit up into a dazzling smile, “Xiao Shu, darling!”

“Mommy!” Little Ye Yiyang left his group of little schoolmates and ran towards Ye Xingbei. Plunging into Ye Xingbei’s embrace like a small artillery shell, he hugged her leg like a koala and climbed into her arms. He pouted his tiny lips as he complained, “Mommy, why did you come so late? Xiao Shu missed you to death!”

All smiles, Ye Xingbei carried him into her arms and kissed his tiny, delicate face with all her strength, “You little rascal! You didn’t even wait for Mommy and secretly came back with Young Uncle. Now you’re saying that you missed Mommy?”
