Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 579 - 582: Offering With Both Hands If You Like

Chapter 579: Chapter 582: Offering With Both Hands If You Like

Gu Junzhu chuckled, “You sure know how to live.”

“Of course,” Ye Xingbei said: “A wastrel like you needs someone like me who knows how to live by your side, otherwise you’ll soon squander your family fortune.”

“You overthink,” Gu Junzhu cleaned his hands with a few wet wipes and calmly said, “No matter how much I spend daily, I always earn more than I spend. Money is made, not saved. This is a principle that a poor person like you wouldn’t understand.”

Ye Xingbei: “… I am still a patient, can’t you be a bit more considerate and not provoke me?”

“What patient? You’re an injured person!” Gu Junzhu brushed her nose tip: “You brought it upon yourself! Lacking vigilance, favoring relatives, foolish to the point of bubbles. If you don’t get hurt then who does?”

Ye Xingbei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ended up saying nothing, just shaking her head with a chuckle.

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at her, “Sister, are you seventy or eighty years old, why are you laughing so bitterly? Such a renouncing-the-world feeling… But you mustn’t! I just found a wife, it’s not even a year yet, if you renounce the world and become a nun, won’t I become a wealthy, unmarried man again?”

Ye Xingbei was amused by him, “Fifth Lord of Gu, I really admire you. Even at this time, you can’t forget to praise yourself. What wealthy, unmarried man? You’re clearly a single loser!”

Although her face was pale and sickly looking, a beauty was still a beauty. Even when ill, she was still beautiful, hit a different set of heartstrings, irresistibly invoking a sense of pity.

Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but touch her cheek, “Ye Xiaobei, you look really beautiful when you smile.”

“That’s not unusual,” Ye Xingbei held his finger, eyes squinting with a smile, “Anyone looks better when they smile than when they cry. So when you can still laugh, never cry.”

“Makes sense!” Gu Junzhu nodded: “But for someone like you, who nearly got killed, barely staying alive after surviving a disaster, yet still able to laugh so happily, is really unusual.”

Ye Xingbei chuckled, “When you’ve seen a lot, you’ll stop making a fuss over small things, just like the tattered knight on the run won’t fuss over a cut finger.”

Ye Xingbei shrugged, “I’ve gotten used to it.”

There was a knock at the door.

The porridge had arrived.

Gu Junzhu held the porridge in his hand, took a scoop and blew on it to cool, then tested the temperature, and brought it to Ye Xingbei’s lips: “Come on, drink porridge while you share your journey with me, let out all the saddening things, and let me have a good laugh.”

“… Get away!” Ye Xingbei slapped him, “Aren’t you afraid I might start sobbing uncontrollably from sadness and wouldn’t be able to drink this porridge?”

“No,” Gu Junzhu urged her to drink the porridge, “give it a try, there is sugar in the porridge, it’s very sweet, you’ve suffered enough, it is time for a sweet reward.”

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help laughing. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This… is a pun, isn’t it?

She obediently opened her mouth and drank the porridge.

Hmm.

It really is very sweet!

So sweet that even though she hadn’t had much appetite in the past few days, she took the bowl of porridge from Gu Junzhu and after scooping a spoonful and blowing on it, quickly finished it.

Gu Junzhu was very pleased: “Another bowl?”

“No,” Ye Xingbei shook her head with a smile, “Yaer said not to eat too much at once even if you can, and to have small meals often.”

“That family doctor really knows your taste,” Gu Junzhu said: “If you like her, we can sign a long-term contract with her.”
