"Aren’t I just catering to your tastes?" Ye Xingbei smiled at him, "Who told to marry a man who, despite being in his twenties, prefers tea over coffee?"
"Drinking tea isn’t reserved for old people. Who said young people can’t drink tea?" Gu Junzhu said, "Besides, tea is healthier than coffee. But if you don’t like drinking tea, I’ll switch to coffee."
"Are you acting cute now?" Ye Xingbei teased him, "Since tea is healthier than coffee, why would you switch? I studied tea making just because you like tea. If you stop drinking it, wouldn’t my effort go to waste?"
Her eyes glimred with playful charm, alluring enough to make Gu Junzhu’s heart itch.
He loved this delicate mix of feigned anger and teasing from Ye Xingbei—it was impossible to look away from her srizing beauty.
He couldn’t resist leaning in to kiss her. "Ye Xiaobei, you always say I’m good to you. But look, aren’t you good to too? Knowing I love tea, you learned how to brew it. Such a good girl! Now, how should I reward you, hmm?"
He was very close to her, his gaze scorching, his eyes full of desire, as though she were a delectable treat he couldn’t wait to devour.
Ye Xingbei pushed him away, laughing, and glanced at Xiao Shu, who Lingyue had tricked into playing alone elsewhere. "Stop ssing around—our child is here."
Although Xiao Shu had been diverted, what if he suddenly cos back looking for Mom and Dad?
"Your good apprentice!" Ye Xingbei shot Lingyue a glance.
So young and already such a perceptive accomplice, expertly distracting Xiao Shu with toys.
"Of course! If my apprentice couldn’t manage this much, they’d have been kicked out of the sect a long ti ago!" Fifth Lord of Gu said shalessly, but with pride.
Ye Xingbei poked his chest, smiling, "Self-flattering again... shaless!"
Gu Junzhu grabbed her finger and gently bit it, "Ye Xiaobei, I heard Guu Bohe is an amazing cook, but I bet no matter how delicious her dishes are, they can’t possibly compare to you."
Ye Xingbei cried out, "Ouch!" She withdrew her hand and smacked him lightly, "Be gentler!"
Gu Junzhu wrapped his arms around her waist and brushed his lips against her soft, fragrant ones. His voice ca out slightly muffled, "Am I not always gentle? If you don’t believe , I’ll try being passionate. Guaranteed you’ll beg for rcy while crying."
Ye Xingbei: "...Go away! It’s daylight—stop with the dirty jokes!"
"This counts as dirty?" Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, "There’s barely a hint of at in it... where’s the dirtiness? Ye Xiaobei, you have a dirty mind! Own up—where did your thoughts wander off to from my proper words? Oh, now I rember! Even though I’m always so gentle, your sensitive body is so delicate that you still end up crying for rcy..."
"..." Ye Xingbei covered his mouth, exasperated yet amused, "Shut up!"
This guy is outrageous, forever unpredictable and unserious, throwing risqué comnts around at any ti. And still thinking he’s being subtle?
Who’s he trying to fool?
It’s so obvious—who wouldn’t catch on?
Infuriating!
"My little uncle, little aunt, what are you chatting about that’s so lively?" Qiao Zui entered the living room with Mi Sheng, supporting her waist as they walked in together.
Ye Xingbei let out a sigh of relief.
Saviors have arrived.
When Gu Junzhu is with her, he acts completely unserious, but once others are around, he’s back to being composed and formal.
Elegant and aloof.
He looks nothing like soone who would flirt shalessly.
