Chapter 755: Chapter 759: The Teeth-gritting submission!
Gu Junzhu chuckles lightly, “So, did I guess right or what?”
Looking at the childlike grin on Fifth Lord of Gu’s face, Ye Xingbei couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She poked his forehead, “Where’s that forceful demeanor you had when confronting Fang Lutong? There’s no need to be so dramatically different in public and in private. Give me back my assertive Fifth Lord of Gu!”
Gu Junzhu stifled a laugh, “How about next time we switch to a camper van? I’ll sit like a king, you’ll kneel at my feet. I guarantee I’ll look formidable!”
The scene Gu Junzhu described automatically appeared in Ye Xingbei’s mind. She slapped him, “What on earth are you talking about? Can’t you stick to the point? If you keep saying such nonsense, I really will toss you out of the car!”
“Alright, alright,” Gu Junzhu said, holding back a laugh, “Let’s skip that part. How about the next part?”
Ye Xingbei: “…You’re not allowed to talk about the next part either! Talk about something else!”
“OK, OK, whatever you say!” Fifth Lord of Gu looked at her as if to say you can be utterly unreasonable, but I have the patience to tolerate you, “We won’t talk about what happened in the car. Let’s talk about what happened after! I once confiscated a crappy book one of my subordinates was reading. That book tells the story of a domineering CEO and a woman, and their adventures inside and outside a car! In the car, just as I described, the CEO would sit while the woman kneeled. When the CEO stepped out of the car, the woman would clutch his neck, grip his waist. Bodyguards lined the street, keeping their eyes on them, but the CEO remained indifferent, as if it was none of his business. He knew the woman wouldn’t dare let go, or else she’d face a severe punishment!”
Ye Xingbei’s face went blank, “What sort of nonsense is this? Fifth Lord of Gu, if you’re going to make up a story, can’t you make it a bit more believable?”
“I can assure you there really is such a book,” Fifth Lord of Gu said earnestly, “Apparently, it’s quite popular. A lot of people like it.”
Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes, “If I believe you, I might as well be a pig!”
“Even if you don’t believe me, you’re a pig,” Gu Junzhu said, grinning as he pinched her soft cheeks, “Able to eat and sleep – if that’s not being a pig, then what is?”
Ye Xingbei, irritated, bit him, “Gu Junzhu, are you asking for trouble? You’re sleeping on the couch tonight!”
Fifth Lord of Gu raised his hand in surrender, reseated himself, then gently helped Ye Xingbei up. He tenderly straightened out her clothes and hair, behaving as quintessentially gentlemanly and tender as he possibly could.
Because Fifth Lord of Gu was so agreeable this time, Ye Xingbei marveled at his apparent change of character. Just then, the car slowed to a stop, the partition raised slowly. Gu Chi turned his head to look at them, “Young master, young madam, we’ve arrived home.”
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Defeat through gritted teeth!
Fifth Lord of Gu was smiling like a gentleman, stepping out of the car first and then extending a hand to help Ye Xingbei. He looked so dignified and aristocratic that an oblivious young lady might mistaken him for a refined, gentle, elegant, and serious man.
Only Ye Xingbei knew that he could be the worst!
To outsiders he was the ice-cold scion of a wealthy family, arrogant and captivating. But when it came to her, his persona completely crumbled, turning into a mischievous character.
She couldn’t deny that this version of Gu Junzhu was more human, more…lovable.
If Gu Junzhu had acted coldly in front of her, then she wouldn’t have been so amused everyday and her life wouldn’t have been as colorful!
