Chapter 613: Chapter 616: The Young Master of the Wealthy Family and the Young Lady of the Great House


    “Ah! You’re in trouble now!” eximed Ye Xingbei, gleefully touching the flower tucked into his temple. “You’re not allowed to randomly pick flowers here, the staff would chide you, and there’s even a fine!”


    “Is that so?” pondered Fifth Lord of Gu. “Should we…say that we picked it up from the ground?”


    Ye Xingbei: “…Keep away from me!”


    Gu Junzhu burst intoughter, nting a kiss onto her forehead, “fine, fine, fine… It’s just one flower after all, they can’t fine that much.”


    Ye Xingbei: “…I thought you would say, ‘I don’t care about the fine, as long as it can cheer up my wife. I have plenty of money!''”


    “No, no, no,” Fifth Lord of Gu said seriously. “Such a statement is too LOW, full of nouveau riche aura. As a man of my ss and cultivation, how could I say such LOW-ss things?”


    Ye Xingbei examined him from head to toe, “Your refined air is in as day, truly intimidating; but your speech sometimes is not very aristocratic. I’ve heard it many times before; you talk in a very down-to-earth manner, not at all like the haughty young master who knows nothing of hardship in the world.”


    “I was never pampered, nor ignorant of the world’s hardships,” Gu Junzhu chuckled lightly. “How can you expect someone like me, whomands countless soldiers from the mountains and has been all over the ce, to talk in an aristocratic manner?”


    “Fair enough,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “Actually, I like it this way. I grew up in a small town until I was fifteen and I can use all the foulnguage you lot do, listening to you talk makes me feel quite at home.”


    “What kind of swear words do you know?” Gu Junzhu peered at her with interest: “Tell me.”<div>


    Ye Xingbei couldn’t help butugh, “Really, you’re like this? Asking for a scolding?”


    “Valid point!” Fifth Lord of Gu pondered yet again: “How about this…”


    Fifth Lord of Gu reached for the flower at Ye Xingbei’s temple, “If the staff scolds you for picking flowerster and ask you to pay a fine, you can just swear at them. That way, I will find out how you swear.”


    Ye Xingbei: “…Keep away! You’re so annoying. Others scam their fathers, you’re scamming your wife!”


    With a heartyugh, Gu Junzhu took her hand and continued their walk, “Compared to me, you are more like the pampereddy of a wealthy family, with your elegant demeanor and refined conversation. One would never guess you lived in a small town for the first fifteen years of your life.”


    Whether Ye Xingbei was moving or still, smiling or frowning, she was always dignified and graceful. She had a sweet, charming face and when sheughed, it felt refreshing like honeyed water, with an enticing allure. And yet, because all her actions demonstrated such graceful refinement, her beauty did note across as frivolous.


    Ye Xingbei smiled, but did not say anything.


    All of this was credited to Ye Xinn.


    When she first arrived in Y country, she had to suffer a lot because her manners did not meet Ye Xinn’s expectations.


    Within a year, however, she had mastered the manners and etiquette of high society. Every word and action was akin to that of a nobledy from an illustrious family.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Anyone unaware of her origins would not guess she was a neer and previously a countryside girl from a small town.


    The saying ‘strict teachers produce outstanding schrs’ aptly describes the rtionship between Ye Xinn and her.


    Though she said nothing, Gu Junzhu understood.


    Gu Junzhu had no intention of discussing Ye Xinn with her any further.


    The past was in the past.


    Ye Xiaobei’s grievances with the Ye Family, all have been cast aside.


    This was for the best.
