N-no, that’s not right!
Didn’t little sister say that this child was birthed by Bai Mengluan and foisted off on her, so this child had no relation to her?
So, what was going on now?
Ye Xingli was terribly confused.
He had a whole bellyful of questions but he didn’t dare to ask as he wished, for fear of saying a wrong word. He didn’t want to inadvertently betray his little sister.
If the person beside his little sister was someone else, Ye Xingli wouldn’t be this afraid to speak up.
If he had accidentally betrayed his baby sister, his older brother naturally had a way to salvage the situation.
But if the person was Gu Junzhu, he couldn’t not be afraid.
Gu Junzhu was someone whom not even their family head could afford to offend!
If they really annoyed Gu Junzhu, and the latter became determined to punish his younger sister, the two of them brothers could only follow suit.
It was still better to be careful.
As long as they could avoid provoking this Fifth Master Gu, he was resolute not to poke the hornet’s nest.
Although Ye Xingli liked to have fun, he wasn’t a person with a clouded mind; he understood his priorities very clearly.
As of this moment, the situation was unclear. He was fully aware that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Hence, he simply shut his mouth tight—if he didn’t have to speak, he was determined not to speak!
Gu Junzhu looked at the little guy in Ye Xingbei’s arms. The boy kept darting his gaze from the sailboat in his hands to Gu Junzhu. After giving the latter a few glances, he would turn his attention back to the sailboat; he looked like he couldn’t study enough of either his sailboat or Gu Junzhu. Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but chuckle aloud, “Do you like the present that Dad gave you?”
“I like it! Dad is so nice!” The little guy smiled bashfully and his long, black lashes quivered slightly. His appearance was so soft and adorable that it caused Gu Chi—standing behind Gu Junzhu—to have an inner breakdown.
How great would it be if such a pretty and adorable child was really their family’s Little Master!
He had never seen a kid more beautiful than this child!
Gu Junzhu was also in complete shambles from the little guy’s adorableness. Under the little chap’s reluctant gaze, he handed the sailboat to Gu Chi then spread his arms open, “Baby, let Uncle Xiao Chi look after the gift first. Can Dad hug Baby Xiao Shu now instead?”
“Okay!” The little guy nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice grains but he became even more bashful. As his long, curly lashes quivered restlessly and his tiny face flushed red, Ye Yiyang reached both of his tiny hands out for Gu Junzhu.
Gu Chi almost had a nosebleed from watching.
Mom, this small child is so adorable that I want to hug him too!
Ye Xingli nearly vomited blood again.
Eldest Brother, come quickly! Our Xiao Shumiao is going to be kidnapped by a wolf soon!
However, little Ye Yiyang’s face was full of contentment.
After being carried into Gu Junzhu’s arms, the little chap observed how the latter remained smiling without showing any conflicting emotions. Eventually, the boy cuddled his small body closer into Gu Junzhu’s embrace. Carefully wrapping his arms around Gu Junzhu’s neck, he pressed his tender cheek against Gu Junzhu’s chin and whispered, “Dad, are you still going to leave? Are you still going to leave to carry out your missions?”
“I’m not leaving anymore,” Gu Junzhu lightly patted his squishy bottom. His heart had melted into a puddle due to the little boy’s sweet and tentative voice. “Dad doesn’t have to go and carry out anymore missions in the future. From now on, Dad will accompany Mommy and Xiao Shu at home. I won’t go anywhere anymore!”
“Really?!” The little guy’s quiet voice suddenly became excited and he even straightened his body in Gu Junzhu’s embrace—as he looked at him with surprise and joy.
Looking at the little guy’s eyes, Gu Junzhu nodded, “Really!”
Gu Junzhu had never seen such beautiful eyes before.
Distinctly black and white, Ye Yiyang’s eyes were clean and clear like obsidian soaked in water, without a trace of impurity.
At this moment, filled with pleasant surprise, that black and lively pair of large eyes was gazing at him with reverence and adoration.
Gu Junzhu didn’t know why either but a strange surge of emotion suddenly swept through his entire body.
