Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 716: Chapter 720: What is Love

Clothes were thrown on the floor, “It’s late!”

And so, Ye Xingbei, just to indulge in the momentary pleasure, paid the price in flesh.

After the passion, Ye Xingbei didn’t even have the energy to lift her fingertips.

After a bath, as soon as her head hit the pillow, she immediately entered a semi-asleep state.

Gu Junzhu held her contentedly in his arms, “Baby…”

With her eyes closed, Ye Xingbei muttered sleepily, “I want to sleep. If you prattle on, I’ll definitely get mad. I mean it this time!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled lowly, kissing her fingers, “I wanted to discuss something with you. In a few days, it’s the death anniversary of my sister and brother-in-law. I want to take you with me back to Feng City, to offer incense for my sister and brother-in-law.”

“Your sister and brother-in-law?” Struggling to stay conscious, Ye Xingbei opened her eyes to look at him, “Are they Xiao Qiao’s parents?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes.”

Ye Xingbei asked, “So, Xiao Qiao will be going back too, right?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes.”

“So, we need to accompany him,” Ye Xingbei sighed, “In his current state, returning to tribute his parents, he certainly won’t feel good.”

Although Qiao Zui seemed like he didn’t care about losing an arm, who could truly not care about losing an arm? It wasn’t a piece of clothing after all.

He was just pretending not to care, so that those around him wouldn’t feel sad.

Upon receiving her affirmation, Gu Junzhu patted her on the back, “Sleep.”

“Hmm,” Ye Xingbei closed her eyes, and after a moment, opened them again, “Feng City? Did you just say we’re going back to Feng City? Is Qiao Zui’s home in Feng City?”

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said, “My brother-in-law’s family is a well-respected family in Feng City. Fang Yao is also from Feng City and he’s known Xiao Qiao since they were little.”

“I see, no wonder they are so close,” Ye Xingbei looked up at him, “Do you know Feng Yushang and Feng Yi? Last time, Leng Peini showed me a video of them. Feng Yi was kneeling on the ground, shirtless, with Feng Yushang stepping on his back. Leng Peini said that the Feng family is the richest family in Feng City. Feng Yi is their adopted son. She also said that adopted children should be like Feng Yi, deserving to be stepped on by the real children of the family.”

“I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know them,” Gu Junzhu massaged her head, “Why bring up unrelated people? Aren’t you sleeping?”

“Sleep, sleep, sleep!” Ye Xingbei closed her eyes, hugged his waist, buried her face in his chest, and soon fell asleep.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but chuckle. His fingers traced her soft contours, and again he wondered… what is love, exactly?

Is what he and Xiao Bei have now, considered love?

Ye Xingbei slept soundly until nightfall.

After freshening up and changing her clothes, she went downstairs to find the living room empty.

She called Gu Junzhu, who told her that they were all in the basement and that Yue Yaer was giving Chi Qing therapy.

Ye Xingbei quickly hung up the phone and ran towards the basement.

She gently pushed the door open, walked down the long stairs, and stopped beside Gu Junzhu.

Gu Junzhu naturally draped an arm over her shoulder, gave her shoulder a little squeeze, and said nothing.

Ye Xingbei, looking at the scene not far from her, remained silent.

In a corner of the basement, Gu Sha, posing as Shi Muqiao, was talking to Chi Qing.

They were far away, and their voices not loud. Ye Xingbei couldn’t make out what they were saying, but she could clearly see the expressionless look on Chi Qing’s face showing no reaction at all.
