Seeing Ye Xingbei angered, Gu Junzhu touched his nose, stood up, and walked over opposite Xueno. “Get up,” he ordered.
This man, without hesitation, begged for mercy from Ye Xingbei, likely only a subordinate with no other feelings towards Ye Xingbei.
Otherwise, what man would willingly kneel before his romantic rival?
Ye Xingbei reached out with both hands to help Xueno up, but Xueno remained unmoving.
It was when Gu Junzhu spoke up that Xueno bowed towards him and managed to say, “Thank you.”
Only then did he stand up, head hanging down, and move a little to the side.
Gu Junzhu looked him up and down a few times, then turned to Ye Xingbei and asked, “What about his tongue?”
A painful expression momentarily crossed Ye Xingbei’s face. She reached out and gave a hard twist to Gu Junzhu’s waist.
She had used her strength, grabbing a chunk of flesh and mercilessly twisting it.
That chunk of flesh ached as if she was about to tear it from his body, but Gu Junzhu did not let it show on his face.
He had long since heard from friends that twisting, pinching, and biting were all ways a girl would act cute towards her man, and no matter how painful, he had to endure!
He was a magnanimous man and wouldn’t nitpick with his woman.
“Lord, my tongue…” Seeing Ye Xingbei remain quiet, Xueno spoke up, “The previous master cut off part of it.”
Xueno briefly raised his head, sticking out his tongue for Gu Junzhu to see.
After seeing Xueno’s half-cut tongue, Gu Junzhu frowned and looked at Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei gave his waist another hard twist and said to Xueno, “Xueno, you prepare first. We’ll go pick up Xiao Shu later.”
“Yes, Miss,” Xueno responded with a nod, took a few steps back with his head down, and left.
As soon as Xueno stepped out and the door closed, Ye Xingbei exploded, pushing Gu Junzhu forcefully, “Xueno is already pitiful enough, why bully him? How can you be so annoying!”
Gu Junzhu wavered slightly from her push, caught her wrist, and pulled her into a hug, “How would I know he’s your bodyguard? He’s no worse looking than Ye Xinglan, I thought he was a toyboy you found.”
Ye Xingbei found his comments ridiculous, struggled a few times, but failed, and stomped hard on his foot. “You’re the one who’s keeping a toyboy! I’m already stressed taking care of my son, do I need a toyboy in addition? What do you think I am?”
“Seeing a man grasping your feet, rubbing and pinching, who has the time to consider what kind of person you are?” Gu Junzhu circled Ye Xingbei’s waist with one hand and pinched her cheek with the other, “Speaking seriously, in the past, when a woman’s feet were seen by a man, she had to marry him! Although times have changed, I can’t stand another man touching and pinching your feet. No one else is allowed to touch your feet.”
“What does your tolerance have to do with me?” Ye Xingbei fumed, pushing him away, “Gu Junzhu, we’re just pretending to be married, okay? Don’t get too into character! Do I have to get your approval for who can massage my feet? Aren’t you overstepping?”
“Even pretending to be married is still being married!” Gu Junzhu’s brows furrowed and his voice chilled, “Ye Xingbei, you promised me. As long as we haven’t divorced, you will be faithful to our marriage, and not go run off with some man!”
“Why are you so unreasonable?” Ye Xingbei hit him in vexation. “I’ve already explained, Xueno is my personal bodyguard.. I have a footache problem with walking too much, he’s just massaging my feet! What man? Why are you making it sound so derogatory?”
