“Hold on a moment!” Ye Xingbei interrupted him, looking at him suspiciously. “How do you know my son’s nickname is Xiao Shu? How do you know my Second Brother sent him to kindergarten?”
Gu Junzhu looked at her, “Director Ye, so I’m allowed to look into your affairs but you can’t inspect mine? This is like permitting the authorities to set fires but forbidding the common people to light lamps, isn’t it?”
Gu Junzhu continued, “Since you’ve investigated me, then you should know who I, the Fifth Young Master of Gu family am. Even if we’re pretending to be a couple, you would have to be worthy for me to agree!”
Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow, “So you’re saying you’re very pleased with the results of my investigation?”
“How could I not be?” Gu Junzhu said, “‘Music Spirit’, Star Palace’s cash cow, the youngest director of an entertainment company, worth over a billion, and so exquisitely beautiful to boot. It’s not an exaggeration to call you a nation-toppling beauty. Such a fine lady, it wouldn’t be a problem to make you a real wife if we had the feelings for each other. As a pretend wife, I can’t think of anything to nitpick!”
Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Should I thank the Fifth Master of Gu family for his compliments?”
“There’s no need for thanks, just show your sincerity to cooperate!” said Gu Junzhu. “Isn’t Xiao Shumiao the focus of your life now? He’s a little genius, and such children are often clever and sensitive. At around five years old, they start to understand things like illegitimacy and abandonment. Do you want your beloved child to know that he is not your biological son, that he has no father, and he was an abandoned child?”
Ye Xingbei fell silent.
Xiao Shu indeed doesn’t know yet that he’s not her biological son.
He’s still too young, only five years old. He doesn’t understand these complicated matters.
But what about when he grows a little older?
Gu Junzhu was right. Before, Xiao Shumiao had been receiving one-on-one elite education at home abroad.
But now, her scatterbrained Second Brother sent Xiao Shu to school to experience collective life.
With so many people around, Xiao Shu would certainly be upset when he sees other kids have both a mom and a dad, and he does not!
Upon seeing her change in expression, Gu Junzhu believed she was moved and continued to persuade her, “After all, you don’t want to get married again, and I have no intention of finding a wife, so wouldn’t it be great if we partnered up for life? From now on, we would tell others that Xiao Shumiao is our biological son. After you gave birth to the child, we separated due to a misunderstanding. Now we’ve reconciled and reunited as a family. Thus, Xiao Shumiao would have a complete family, with his real dad and mom. Nobody could ever hurt him due to this matter, and he could grow up happy and healthy. Isn’t this perfect?”
Ye Xingbei fell silent again.
She had to admit, she was moved.
For her, her own matters weren’t important; what mattered were things concerning Xiao Shu.
If possible, she certainly hoped that Xiao Shu could grow up happily in a normal family.
If he had a real dad, a real mom, and a real family of his own, he would surely be very, very happy, right?
Thinking of Xiao Shu’s beautiful little face lit up with a happy and satisfied smile, Ye Xingbei found Gu Junzhu’s proposal irresistibly enticing.
Gu Junzhu pressed, “So, how about it? Isn’t my proposal good? Where can you find a father with my status? I guarantee that Xiao Shumiao will never lose in a competition abount having impressive fathers. If he wants a good reputation, he could have it!”
She didn’t think that winning in a competition about who has the more impressive father was something to be proud of, right?
After pondering for a long time, she said, “You announcing to the public that Xiao Shu is your biological son, wouldn’t that cause problems? We are legally married now. If we claim Xiao Shu as your biological son, he will become an heir to the Gu Group. This isn’t fair to you…”
