Though the swelling had subsided a bit, her lips, after being iced, looked even more red and alluring.
Gu Junzhu opened the door and saw Ye Xingbei looking in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror had black hair like a waterfall, picturesque features, and fair, delicate skin. Her lips, with their beautiful curve, looked incredibly charming.
Fifth Lord of Gu stood at the door watching her for a moment, feeling like the temperature in the room was rising, and he was getting hotter.
He locked the door behind him.
Ye Xingbei heard the sound of the door being locked and turned to look at him, "Why did you lock the door?"
"What do you think?" Gu Junzhu walked up behind her, picked her up, and tossed her onto the bed, "Baby, no dessert in the world is as delicious as you!"
Ye Xingbei wanted to say something but was silenced by a firm kiss.
Then, Ye Xingbei’s cold compress was in vain...
She couldn’t go downstairs for dinner...
Since she didn’t have dinner, she slept early and woke up early the next day.
It wasn’t the time for Gu Junzhu to wake up yet.
Fifth Lord of Gu seemed just awake too, his handsome face looked particularly lazy.
Ye Xingbei pinched him, "I didn’t go downstairs for dinner last night, did Dad say anything?"
"He did," Gu Junzhu said, "He said you work too hard, told you not to push yourself so much, and asked me to give you more money to take care of you well."
Ye Xingbei: "...Really?"
"Of course it’s true. You don’t know how biased Dad is towards you," Fifth Lord of Gu sighed, "You’re the lucky star of our family. If there’s anything good, it’s all brought by you. You’re also our family’s great contributor, having given birth to Dad’s eldest grandson. If I dare to treat you poorly, Dad won’t forgive me first."
"Tch," Ye Xingbei retorted, "You treated me poorly last night, and I didn’t see Dad not forgiving you."
"Wronged," Fifth Lord of Gu cried out, pinching her cheek, "I cherish you so much, how could I treat you poorly?"
"You... you..." Ye Xingbei’s face reddened, "You made me miss my dinner last night, isn’t that treating me poorly?"
"I brought it to the bedside for you last night. You said you were tired. No matter how I called you, you didn’t eat. Is that my fault?" Fifth Lord of Gu looked innocent.
Ye Xingbei scoffed at him, "Then why was I tired?"
"I know why!" Gu Junzhu leaned into her ear and lightly bit her earlobe, "Because your husband has too much energy!"
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, kissed her, and picked her up off the bed, "Come on, get up. Today is a big day for you. I’ve asked the kitchen to stew bird’s nest for you to properly nourish you. Sweetheart, don’t be mad, your husband loves you!"
Ye Xingbei wasn’t really angry in the first place; being coaxed by him, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Who is my husband?"
Gu Junzhu kissed her, "What do you think?"
Ye Xingbei immediately thought of her swollen lips from last night and quickly admitted, "It’s you, it’s you, isn’t it enough? Hurry up! You don’t want me to have breakfast either?"
Gu Junzhu lightly pecked her lips, "Ye Xiaobei, everything about you is great except that you’re too shy! Your husband can’t resist kissing you, which shows your charm and how good our relationship is. Those whose relationship isn’t good forcefully flaunt their affection, but we’re so genuinely affectionate, why not flaunt it openly? Isn’t it great?"
"Go away!" Ye Xingbei pushed him, "I don’t have a thick skin like you! Change your clothes quickly, I’m hungry."
After washing up and changing, they went out. Xiao Shumiao emerged from his bedroom sleepily, with Lingyue following behind him.
"Dad! Mom!" Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, the sleepy Xiao Shumiao instantly perked up.
He rushed to Ye Xingbei, touched Ye Xingbei’s belly, and looked up at her, "Mom, you didn’t eat last night. Brother Ye said you were planting a little sister in your room. Is it planted?"
