    The next day, the injured little guy could not go to school, and Ye Xingbei had to take care of him and did not go to thepany.


    She called Ye Xingli and asked him toe back quickly and stay at the Star Pce for a few days.


    She didn’t dare to tell Ye Xingli about the child’s injury for fear he’d worry. She just said she had some matters to take care of and asked Ye Xingli to stay in thepany for a few days.


    Ye Xingli is capable, but he is toozy and only likes to y, not to work. However, he is a perfectionist. Any task he takes on, he will do very nicely. So Ye Xingbei was not at all worried about leaving thepany in his hands. With Ye Xingli taking up the grunt work at thepany, she felt assured and stayed at home to take care of the little patient peacefully.


    Gu Junzhu also did not go to thepany.


    After breakfast, he was busy in the study for more than an hour.


    Around nine o’clock, he came out and the kiddo dragged him to the sofa to y video games.


    Both the big and the small, hands gripping the game controllers, firing away at the television in a fierce battle.


    One moment, the little guy was excitedly jumping around hollering, the next he was snuggling into Gu Junzhu’s arms, cheering “Daddy is the best, daddy is the greatest”. He looked so exuberant, not at all like a wounded soldier.


    Ye Xingbei made soup for the big and the small, then sat on the couch next to them, peeling fruits.


    She cut the fruit into pieces, skewered them with toothpicks, and brought them to her son’s mouth.


    The little guy was busy with the game, his eyes reluctant to leave the screen, opened his mouth and said “ah”.


    Ye Xingbei patted his little head with her finger, chuckled, and tenderly fed him the fruit.


    Gu Junzhu nced at her and coughed.


    Ye Xingbei gave him a look. He had managed to make their son so happy, so she gave him a piece too.


    Gu Junzhu swallowed the fruit, chewed a few times and, amidst all the bustling, gave her a thumbs up: “Sweet!”


    Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, but her hands didn’t stop, feeding both big and small until the whole tter of fruit was finished. Observing the big and small huddled together, happily ying games, joyfully letting her feed them fruit, Ye Xingbei felt somewhat dazed by the potent feeling of them being a family of three.


    If life could always be like this, it might be quite wonderful…


    While she was lost in a daydream, the butler walked in, bowed to both, and announced: “Young Master and Young Madam, the CEO of Star Pce has arrived.”


    Ye Xingbei was so surprised that the te in her hand almost fell to the ground. She stood up abruptly, “My big brother is here?”


    The butler respectfully nodded: “Yes.”


    Ye Xingbei hastily put down her te and ran out.


    The little guy was taken aback by Ye Xingbei’s abrupt departure, abandoned his game controller, jumped off the sofa, “I’ming too!”


    With his short little legs, he scurried after Ye Xingbei.


    Gu Junzhu put down his game controller, leisurely stood up, and strolled after them.


    When he arrived at the yard, Ye Xingbei had already weed Ye Xinn in. Ye Xingbei stood a step or two behind Ye Xinn, looking slightly pale and staring at the ground, looking very nervous and seemingly not daring to breathe.


    Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow.


    The information he had gathered was clear.


    Ye Xingbei had a great rtionship with Ye Xingli, like real siblings, but she was very afraid of Ye Xinn.


    It was said that Ye Xinn was very strict with Ye Xingbei.


    How strict, the information didn’t specify, but judging from the current interaction between the siblings, it seemed Ye Xinn was extraordinarily strict with Ye Xingbei.


    At this thought, Gu Junzhu felt ufortable.


    How good is little Bei?


    Not only pretty but also sweet-tempered, and gentle, nearly perfect in all respects.


    Such a good girl should be pampered, right?


    How did Ye Xinn treat his wife in the past to make her look like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw him? She had a pale face and was tiptoeing around gingerly.


    Fifth Lord of Gu looked at Ye Xinn, his expression not good, quite distressed.


    Seeing Gu Junzhu, Ye Xinn halted in his tracks, “Fifth Master.”


    Gu Junzhu slightly curled his lips into a smile, “Xiao Lan, howe you’re here?”


    Ye Xinn:”…”


    Xiao Lan?


    More like Xiao Green!


    Nobody in his entire life has ever called him Xiao Lan!


    Ye Xinn said, “My namees from the Song poem ‘The moon sets, the night is deep, and the stars fill the sky¹. Fifth Master, it’s good enough to call me Xinn.”


    After all, he is Ye Xingbei’s elder brother for five years, Gu Junzhu knew when to stop: “Pleasee in.”


    The group of people moved into the living room one after the other, taking their seats ording to their rtive standing.


    Gu Junzhu noticed that Ye Xingbei was just sitting on the edge of a sofa, his body taut and his back straight, looking more nervous than a primary school student facing a test.


    Gu Junzhu was bewildered.


    Just how did Ye Xinn take care of his wife before; to have her react as if she had seen a ghost when seeing him?


    The little one was also very nervous.


    All of his lively and active behavior when beside Gu Junzhu was gone, he nestled close to Ye Xingbei, tightly holding onto Ye Xingbei’s hand, his gaze towards Ye Xinn was both longing and wary.


    Seeing Ye Xingbei’s fearful expression toward him, Ye Xinn felt extremely guilty and sad.


    He is Ye Xingbei’s cousin.


    A blood cousin.


    His father, is Ye Xingbei’s second uncle.


    Back then, Ye Xingbei was kicked out of the house, wandering the streets, and encountered by Ye Xingli.


    Ye Xingli, knowing that she is the daughter of Jiang Zhengxing, their cousin, seeing her homeless and in a pitiful state, the child she was holding even falling ill, felt pity for her and brought her home.


    That year, his father was harmed by Ye Zhengxing, was seriously injured, and was saved by his mother.


    When his father woke up from thea, he had lost his memory, forgetting all the things from the past.


    Later, his father and his mother developed feelings, and the two married and had children, settling in his mother’s homnd.


    His mother gave his father a name, called Ye Wuwei.


    Only muchter did their father gradually regain his memory, recalling past events.


    But when their father regained his memory, their eldest uncle had already passed away in a car ident.


    The three children from their eldest uncle’s family, the two boys changed their mother’s surname, and moved to the Xie Family of Beijing.


    One daughter died early due to illness.


    Not one of the three children from their eldest uncle’s family was left.


    When their father knew about it, he cried his heart out, was in extreme sorrow, and fell ill from grief.


    During their father’s illness time, they found out about a shocking secret of the Jiang Family.


    Their father had fallen out with the Jiang Family, no longer wanted to be a member of the Jiang Family. He unterally cut off all contact with the Jiang Family, not wanting to be a part of the Jiang Family anymore.


    Until Ye Xingbei called him, he didn’t know that his eldest uncle’s daughter was not dead.


    Ye Xingbei is not their third uncle Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter, but their eldest uncle Jiang Zhengwei’s daughter!


    Their father detested Jiang Zhengxing, and they also knew what a despicable person Jiang Zhengxing was.


    Knowing that Jiang Zhengxing’s dirty blood was flowing in Ye Xingbei’s veins, he deeply disliked Ye Xingbei.


    But, Ye Xingli and Ye Xingbei had a strong bond, he really liked Ye Xingbei, and stubbornly begged him, insisting that he must take in Ye Xingbei.


    He loved his brother, so he agreed.


    But deep down, he still disliked and rejected Ye Xingbei..
