Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Are You Sure This Is Describing Your Nephew?
Qiao Zui and Fang Yao left, and Gu Junzhu took Ye Xingbei and the two little ones back to their own private room.
Ye Xingbei asked Gu Junzhu mystifiedly, “Were you serious when you told me your nephew is a special forces king?”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu responded with a smile, “Why, do you find it hard to believe?”
Ye Xingbei shook her head emphatically, “More than hard to believe. He’s not like it at all.”
She paused, then added, “He seems more like an artist at Star Palace. If he signed with us, I’m sure he’d be very popular!”
It doesn’t matter if he has no special talent, his good looks are enough.
Nothing in this world can’t be resolved by a handsome face.
If there is, then the face is just not handsome enough.
With Qiao Zui’s good looks, reversing people’s opinions would be almost a definite possibility.
“Then you should stop thinking about it,” Gu Junzhu took a sip of his red wine, “my dad won’t let him enter the entertainment industry.”
Ye Xingbei nodded, “I understand.”
The elders always perceive the entertainment industry as a vanity fair, too frivolous.
People of Senior Gu’s status would certainly not let their grandsons enter the entertainment industry.
“I was just making a point.”
“He really is a special forces king, I didn’t lie to you,” Gu Junzhu said with a smile. “However, in terms of combat power, Fang Yao should be above him. But even in a one-on-one match, combat power isn’t everything, your mind is also important. Fang Yao’s combat power is higher than his, but he’s not as cunning, so he loses to him every time.”
Fifth Lord of Gu, are you sure you’re describing your beloved nephew?
She was speechless for a while, then asked, “I heard him say that his comrade was also injured? He injured his leg?”
She had purposely noticed Qiao Zui’s companion walking a little differently just now.
But you had to pay close attention to notice it, otherwise you couldn’t tell at all.
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu put down his wine glass, “His companion is called Fang Yao, who is his team leader, and he is the vice team leader. During a mission, Fang Yao’s left leg was hit by a bullet. He was shot in the right arm trying to save Fang Yao. They both were quite unfortunate, having nerves damaged, they couldn’t fully recover after their injuries and had to retire.”
Despite his calm demeanor, Ye Xingbei could perceive his hidden sorrow and loss.
She couldn’t help but cover his hand with hers, wanting to comfort him but couldn’t find the right words.
Just as she was racking her brains for something to say, Gu Junzhu looked at her and smiled, “Darling, if you put your hand on my thigh, I would find it more comforting.”
“…” Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, withdrew her hand, and tried to suppress the impulse to slap him.
She was overthinking.
Forget about comfort, this guy didn’t need any at all!
When the two little ones had eaten their fill and couldn’t fit in another bite, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei took them back to the villa.
After settling Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao into their beds comfortably, Ye Xingbei went to check on Qiao Zui and Fang Yao’s guest rooms.
Gu Junzhu had left the arrangements for Qiao Zui and Fang Yao’s guest rooms to the butler.
Even though the butler had arranged everything days ago, Ye Xingbei felt it was her duty as the woman of the house to double-check everything.
The people she admired most were the ones like Fang Yao, loyal and righteous, who protected their country and home.
She didn’t know what mission Qiao Zui and Fang Yao were on when they got injured, but since they were up against guns and resisting the state, they definitely were not up to any good.
