"No, no, how could I be so disrespectful?" Ye Xingbei said, "Wan Chong is so handsome, has looks, money, and talent, and he’s loyal to you. Even a thousand bodyguards like him wouldn’t be too much. How could I say he’s being unreasonable?"

"He’s handsome?" Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow and looked at her, slightly squinting his eyes, "What’s handsome about him?"

Ye Xingbei: "...Nothing about him is handsome!"

"Too late!" Gu Junzhu flipped over and pressed her down beneath him, giving her a kiss, "You’ll soon know who’s the most handsome..."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

She never said Wan Chong was the most handsome, okay?

The jealousy of Fifth Lord of Gu was getting bigger and bigger.

To an extent that was in-com-pre-hensible!

After being tossed around repeatedly by the incomprehensible Fifth Lord of Gu, the benefit was she didn’t suffer from insomnia.

After the tossing, she took a bath and fell asleep like Xiao Shumiao, closing her eyes and dozing off.

A night of sweet dreams.

The next day, after getting up and going downstairs, she saw Ye Xingli playing happily in the yard with Xiao Shumiao.

Ye Xingli was still dressed in pure white casual wear, with a radiant smile that, in the morning light, made him look like a carefree, spirited campus boy, with exquisite features as if they were glowing.

Xiao Shumiao, amused by him, laughed with a crisp, sweet baby voice, making anyone who heard it unable to resist a heartfelt smile.

Senior Master Gu, Gu Junzhu, Wei Hanting, and Zhan Jinchuan stood beside them, conversing about something with faint smiles on their faces.

Their smiles were subtle, yet peaceful and gentle, making one feel secure.

Looking at them, Ye Xingbei’s face involuntarily showed a happy smile.

This kind of life was something she never dreamed of before.

She never thought that she would have such a wonderful big family.

Everyone in the family was great and loved their home dearly.

As long as they were there, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

They would protect her and Xiao Shu, and keep their home safe.

From then on, she wouldn’t have to wander, or worry about being bullied.

Their home would forever be a warm fortress for her and Xiao Shu.

Once everyone was present, the new bride Beitang Tingxue and Siao Fengqian knelt down together to serve tea to Senior Master Gu.

As customary, Senior Master Gu handed each bride a big red envelope.

Beitang Tingxue was full of smiles, her face showing charming joy and radiance.

Siao Fengqian was a bit more reserved, but he kept a smile on his face, with a faint blush on his cheeks, indicating a pleasant interaction with Zhan Jinchuan last night.

Senior Master Gu was grinning from ear to ear, his smile never fading for a moment.

During the meal, Senior Master Gu looked at the table full of people and expressed with a smile, "Our home is becoming more lively, and this year, we’ll have the most bustling New Year."

Ye Xingbei felt a bit dazed for a moment.

Yes.

It’s almost New Year’s.

She met Gu Junzhu at the beginning of the year.

So many things happened in a year. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This year seemed more exciting and interesting than the twenty-one years before it.

After Beitang Tingxue and Siao Fengqian returned, she and Gu Junzhu would take the children to visit her hometown’s small town.

Returning from the small town, her coffee shop should be opening.

Once the coffee shop is on track, it’ll probably be New Year’s.

This year, she can have a reunion year with Xiao Shu and Xiao Shu’s biological father and grandfather.

At that time, surely it would be very happy, right?

Thinking about it like this, she suddenly felt very hopeful.

She came into this world for twenty-one years, and this was the first time she was looking forward to New Year’s.
