Chapter 770: Chapter 774: Showing Affection
Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu walked into Wan Wan’s ward together. Seeing Wan Wan, they were both taken aback.
In reality, they had never seen a person so thin.
The woman lying on the hospital bed was as pale as paper and as thin as paper.
She was so thin that only her skeleton was left, with skin covering her bones and no visible flesh.
Upon seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei walk in, Wan Wan gave Gu Junzhu a smile.
From her expression, it was evident that she had met Gu Junzhu before.
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but hold Gu Junzhu’s hand tightly.
These past three days, Gu Junzhu has been very busy.
Sometimes he would rush out, and when he returned, he would be in the study, compiling data and pondering over it.
Ye Xingbei never wanted to disturb his thought process and would do her best to take care of his daily needs.
Within these three days, she, along with Duan Yanbing, Xiao Shu, and Lingyue, enjoyed the famous attractions of Feng City while the Fifth Lord of Gu was out from dawn to dusk, without even time for meals.
Being an uncle is indeed not easy.
If not for Qiao Zui, would the Fifth Lord of Gu need to put in so much effort?
Although it’s been only three days, he probably has killed a large number of brain cells, and his shoe soles have been worn thin.
However, Ye Xingbei quite liked a man like him.
She admired and respected him.
She liked intelligent, strategical, responsible men who also treated their families well.
Being with him gave her a sense of security.
A bizarre marital relationship that had fallen from heaven unexpectedly allowed her to meet such an excellent man. Ye Xingbei suddenly felt ecstatic and held Gu Junzhu’s hand tightly.
After Gu Junzhu greeted Wan Wan and introduced Ye Xingbei to her, he casually stood by the window with Ye Xingbei.
With one hand holding Ye Xingbei’s and the other shoved casually in his pocket, he leaned against the window. His pose was casual and lazy, yet he exuded an imposing aura and nobility as if he were a king looking over his city.
Ye Xingbei was so enchanted that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
Gu Junzhu noticed Ye Xingbei’s burning gaze, the corner of his lips curved into a smile, and he gently stroked her nose.
His beautiful eyes were filled with gentleness and indulgence as if they were filled with thousands of twinkling stars. His gaze made Ye Xingbei’s heart flutter, beating rapidly as if she had a deer leaping in her chest.
Gradually, everyone arrived.
Si Yun, originally named Siqi, and for a time Fang Siqi, stood at Wan Wan’s bedside, holding her hand. Her eyes were as swollen as two walnuts, making it evident that she had cried a lot these past few days.
Siqi’s husband, Mi Junyuan, stood beside her, his head lowered in silence, seemingly lost in thought.
The family of four, Fang Lutong, Yi Xinning, Fang Yixian, and Fang Mingzhu, stood near the door, each with different expressions on their faces.
Fang Lutong was fixedly staring at Fang Yao, his face ashen and his body trembling.
Yi Xinning had a cold expression.
Fang Yixian appeared calm, but his eyes held a deep and dark look as if pondering about something.
Fang Mingzhu clung tightly to Yi Xinning, looking extremely uneasy, her eyes continually darting at Qiao Zui.
Standing beside Qiao Zui, Mi Sheng noticed her gaze, held onto Qiao Zui’s arm, and gently pulled him closer to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.
Noticing her actions, Fang Mingzhu’s face turned bright red; her eyes filled with resentment.
Mi Sheng glanced at her and then quickly withdrew her gaze. She leaned into Qiao Zui’s arms, pulling him even closer.
Fang Mingzhu was on the verge of bursting with rage, wishing she could charge at Mi Sheng and scratch her face right then and there.
