Chapter 704: Chapter 708: The Overwhelming Despair Engulfs Him
No matter what, he never expected that the Duan Yanbing mentioned by the butler and Ye Xingbei, was the very Duan Yanbing who had died three years ago.
“Yes, indeed!” Seeing an individual he shouldn’t have been able to meet here, Duan Yanbing got very excited and hugged Gu Junzhu: “Fifth Brother, we meet again!”
They embraced each other tightly, their backs pounding with the force of their pats.
Ye Xingbei looked at Duan Yanbing, then at Gu Junzhu, “You two know each other.”
“More than just that!” Duan Yanbing put his arm around Gu Junzhu’s shoulder, “Fifth Brother was our team captain. We fought side by side in the same special forces team for more than three years.”
Gu Junzhu punched Duan Yanbing’s shoulder, “He was my deputy. In those days, our enemies called us ‘Ghost-seeing troubles’, making our team run in fear.”
Gu Junzhu watched Duan Yanbing, his lips corner rolling up into a high smile, his cheeks slightly red, and his eyes strikingly bright.
This was the first time that Ye Xingbei saw Gu Junzhu revealing his emotions so openly in front of others, indicative of his good mood and deep bond with Duan Yanbing at this time.
Ye Xingli, noticing Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu taking too long to return, went out to look for them. Shocked to see Gu Junzhu and Duan Yanbing chatting excitedly, like long-lost brothers, asked surprisingly, “Huh? Fifth Brother, you know Yanbing?”
“Young Master Ah Li, long time no see,” Duan Yanbing nodded slightly towards Ye Xingli, “I and Fifth Brother are comrades-in-arms, I am a soldier brought up by Fifth Brother.”
“Wow! That’s quite a coincidence!” Ye Xingli said, “Let’s go back to the living room to talk, my mom and dad are still waiting.”
“Brother Li, inform Uncle and Auntie, I want to take Yanbing to my house for a visit. I will bring Yanbing over to visit Uncle and Auntie another day.” Just as Ye Xingbei was uncertain how to handle her relationship with Ye Wuwei, Duan Yanbing’s arrival gave her a perfect excuse.
Ye Xingli was pretty disappointed, but he did not insist. “Be careful on the road and often bring Xiao Shumiao back to see me. With Brother being so boring, and Mama and Papa only having eyes for each other, I will definitely die of boredom on my own.”
Ye Xingbei gave him a sweet smile, “Alright, I get it, you should go back now.”
After getting into the car with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, Duan Yanbing asked Ye Xingbei doubtfully, “Beibei, don’t you live here anymore?”
“Yeah,” Ye Xingbei said smiling, “You came at such a good time, Yanbing. I just happened to be back for something, otherwise you would have made a wasted trip.”
“Why don’t you live here anymore?” Duan Yanbing moved his finger, a flicker of coldness passing through his eyes, “Did they bully you again?”
“No,” Ye Xingbei shook her head, a bit shy as she looked at Gu Junzhu, “Because….”
“Because she and I got married,” Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei’s hand and smiled, “Yanbing, you will have to change your way of address and call Beibei sister-in-law from now on.”
Married?
Sister-in-law?
Duan Yanbing only felt a buzzing in his ear, his body surging with blood rushing to his head in a moment. It was like his head was going to explode, and the world spinning around him intensively.
His years of undercover life had trained him to hide his real emotions well.
He didn’t need to consciously hide it, his body automatically veiled his intense emotions.
His heart was filled with surging waves, but his face remained undisturbed, his sincere and enthusiastic expression unchanged.
Only he knew how sad he felt at this moment.
Overwhelming despair swept over him.
