Chapter 401: Chapter 402: Are you intending to cuckold me?
“Of course it’s not,” Gu Junzhu sipped his drink, his gaze sparkling with mischief, “I only ever speak the truth!”
“Puh-leeze!” Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes, “That statement is as false as they come!”
“Really?” Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “The truth always proves stronger than words! Care to give me an example of when I’ve ever lied?”
Ye Xingbei racked her brains, deep in thought.
After pondering for a long while, she couldn’t come up with anything.
In her mind, Gu Junzhu was a carefree, irresponsible talker. Why couldn’t she recall a single lie when she tried to?
On the contrary, all she could think of were his reliable traits.
He could find out things others couldn’t.
He could accomplish tasks others failed at.
He was like an invincible general, always standing on the victorious side.
No matter how difficult the situation, he could always brilliantly resolve it, never allowing her or their side to suffer or be wronged.
The more she thought about it, the greater Gu Junzhu’s image grew in her eyes.
Feeling her cheeks inexplicably reddening, she lowered her head and took a swig of her drink to hide it.
“Ye Xiaobei!” Gu Junzhu suddenly called her name.
“Hm?” Ye Xingbei subconsciously tilted her head to look at him.
Under the moonlit starry night, the man sitting next to her was stunningly handsome like a celestial being.
Ye Xingbei’s heart pounded and she quickly avoided his gaze, “What’s up?”
A hint of a smile played on Gu Junzhu’s lips as he watched her with interest, “Ye Xiaobei, don’t you think we should start thinking about our wedding?”
“A wedding?” Ye Xingbei was taken aback, “Isn’t it just about living together? Why have a wedding? It’s so troublesome!”
“What’s so troublesome about it?” Gu Junzhu asked her, “Don’t all couples have weddings? Aren’t all women most excited about weddings?”
“That’s different!” Ye Xingbei argued, “If I was marrying the man I loved, of course I’d anticipate a wedding with him. Allowing everyone who knows us to witness our happiness. But we’re just living together, why would we need a wedding?”
Gu Junzhu frowned slightly, “The man you love?”
“Yes!” Ye Xingbei confirmed, “If I were to marry the man I loved, or if you were to marry the woman you loved, naturally we’d have to throw a grand wedding, grand enough to make the whole world aware. But us? We just happen to end up together out of necessity. Why should we bother with a wedding? It’s so much trouble, let’s save ourselves the effort!”
“The man you love…” Gu Junzhu repeated, grinning at her, “Am I not the man you love?”
Ye Xingbei almost spat out the drink in her mouth.
She coughed for a while before regaining her composure, incredulous, “What makes you think you’re the man I love?”
Gu Junzhu said matter-of-factly, “I’m your husband, of course I should be the man you love. If not me, then who? Are you thinking of cheating on me?”
What sort of logic was this?
Ye Xingbei was dumbfounded..
