Chapter 407: Chapter 408:1 Won’t Let Him Get What He Wants
“I’m not a stinky kid!” Xiao Shumiao protested loudly, “I’m a fragrant kid, I smell so good! Brother Xiaoyue also smells so good!”
“Alright, alright!” The always decisive Fifth Lord of Gu could only capitulate in the face of his beloved son, “Daddy misspoke, Daddy apologizes to Xiao Shu.”
Xiao Shumiao was content: “A good daddy is one who corrects his mistakes, Daddy is fragrant, the most fragrant daddy ever!”
She didn’t care who smelled good and who didn’t, as long as they didn’t continue to discuss that kissing incident and those fairy fights from before.
She had merely mouthed the words without uttering a sound, but Lingyue was able to understand what she said!
Having a genius child at home is really overwhelming.
Even after finishing breakfast, the heat hadn’t faded from Ye Xingbei’s face.
Time was running out, after rushing to drop off Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue at school, she did not even have time to settle accounts with Gu Junzhu. The two parted ways at Xiao Shumiao’s school gate, each heading to their own company.
Today, Jee Xiu was coming to Star Palace to discuss a new song collaboration.
The Jee family and the Ye family were neighbors; Jee Xiu was close friends with Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli.
Jee Xiu’s studio was affiliated with Star Palace.
Ye Xingbei’s new song, “Half Dream, Half Awake,” was sold by Ye Xingli to Jee Xiu.
In the past, Ye Xingbei was always in charge of the creation, while Ye Xingli handled the sales. This time, Ye Xingbei didn’t intervene.
By the time she found out that the new song had been sold to Jee Xiu, the contract had already been signed.
If she had known beforehand, she would have definitely stopped Ye Xingli.
Jee Xiu had a great voice and was a well-known golden voice in the industry.
If it was before, she would have been please to have the new song sold to Jee Xiu.
But after learning that Jee Xiu liked her, she did not want to have any more involvement with him.
But by the time she found out, it was already too late.
Jee Xiu was coming to Star Palace to record today. As the music director of Star Palace and the producer of “Half Dream, Half Awake,” she had to work with Jee Xiu and serve as the producer of Jee Xiu’s new song.
She did not mention a word about this to Gu Junzhu.
She was afraid that if Gu Junzhu found out that she was to be the producer of Jee Xiu’s new song, Gu Junzhu would bring up old grievances.
She once wagered with Gu Junzhu that if Jee Xiu liked her, she would grant Gu Junzhu a request.
She clearly saw that Jee Xiu liked her, but she insisted that she did not see it, hence, she wriggled out of that situation.
If Gu Junzhu found out about her cooperation with Jee Xiu, with his temperament, he would definitely want to settle old scores and make her keep her promise.
As for what the Fifth Lord of Gu’s request was, she could guess without much thought.
She was still sore and weak at the moment!
She would not let him have his way.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she walked into her office. Soon after, her secretary Xiao Tao knocked on the door and came in, “Director, Mr. Jee is here. He’s in the recording studio, waiting for you.”
“Alright, I know.” Ye Xingbei felt a headache starting at the thought of Jee Xiu.
But dealing with Jee Xiu was a business matter, she had to go.
After quickly handling the paperwork on her desk, she and Xiao Tao went to the recording studio.
Jee Xiu was practicing his score. Seeing Ye Xingbei arrive, he promptly stepped out of the recording booth and greeted Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, you’re here.”
Ye Xingbei responded with a polite smile, “Good morning, Brother Xiu.”
Even though there was a smile on her face, Jee Xiu could tell – compared to before, Ye Xingbei’s attitude towards him had become more distant and less intimate.
His heart ached bitterly.
He wanted to ask her if she was still with Gu Junzhu.
But with so many people present, he found it inappropriate to broach the subject.
