Chapter 794: Chapter 798… Shut Up!
Ye Xingbei trailed behind the two, rolling her eyes dramatically, silently criticizing in her mind how bored Fifth Lord of Gu must be, amusing himself with such a tedious topic.
“So…” Xiao Shumiao looked conflicted as he pointed at his finger, looked at Gu Junzhu, then peeked at Ye Xingbei, “Mom, do you like little sister more, or do you like beautiful clothes more?”
How was she supposed to answer that?
Of course, she preferred a pretty baby girl.
But how could she possibly admit that?
If she did, wouldn’t that be equal to admitting that she wanted to have a daughter with him?
As she pondered this, Ye Xingbei felt a strange blush creeping over her face.
The car was nearby, she deflected attention, “Hurry on, it’s getting late.”
Everyone got on the car, and the car engine came to life; Xiao Shumiao sat between them, tilting his tiny head, then asked Ye Xingbei again, “Mom, do you like little sister more, or do you like beautiful clothes more?”
My son, why are you so insistent on this insignificant question?
She stole a glance at Gu Junzhu and noticed that he was looking at her with a half-smile.
She gave Gu Junzhu a hard stare, deciding to be a good mother.
She would not trick a child like Gu Junzhu, she would tell the truth: “I like little sister more.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled lightly, leaning in to whisper in her ear: “Ye Xiaobei, I knew it, you’ve wanted to have a baby with me for a long time, that’s why you got upset when I ignored you; you’ve been trying to flirt with me every chance you get!”
Ye Xingbei: “… Shut up!”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and ruffled her hair, then did the same to the little sprout. He said nothing more and turned his gaze out the window.
He had a faint smile on his face, but for some reason, Ye Xingbei felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy radiating from him.
Even Little Shumiao could feel it, as he reached out to hold Gu Junzhu’s hand and nestled into him, quietly watching him without making a peep.
Ye Xingbei suddenly regretted.
In fact….maybe….if….if she had told him that she thought it’d be nice to have a daughter with him, could that have made him happier?
As the car approached the final resting place of Qiao Zui’s parents, everyone fell silent.
There were four cars in their party.
Gu Chi drove with hers, Gu Junzhu and their two children as passengers, with Gu Cheng in the front.
Fang Yao, Qiao Zui, Mi Sheng, and Qiao Yi, with Qiao family’s bodyguard driving. Situ Jinse, feeling unwell, did not come today.
Duan Yanbing, Xueno, and Yu Nuo, along with several of Gu Family’s bodyguards, divided between two SUVs, with a lead car and one in the rear.
Qiao Zui’s parents were buried on a hill, and the cars couldn’t drive up, so they had to go the rest of the way on foot.
The hill was full of gravesites. Not wanting to disturb the peace, Qiao Zui and Gu Junzhu decided to leave their bodyguards at the bottom of the hill, while the rest climbed up.
Qiao Zui, Qiao Yi, Fang Yao, and Mi Sheng led the way.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei followed with their two children in the middle, with Duan Yanbing, Gu Chi, and Gu Cheng bringing up the rear.
Qiao Zui’s parents were laid to rest near the peak, surrounded by scenic beauty and tranquility.
Qiao Zui and Qiao Yi wiped their parents’ headstones clean with a handkerchief, placed flowers and offerings before the tomb, and bowed.
After they rose, Qiao Zui, holding Mi Sheng’s hand, introduced her to his parents.
