“Why?” Ye Xingbei frowned slightly, “Isn’t it because Jiang Zhengxing lacks ability?”

“Not exactly,” Gu Junzhu replied, his lips curled into a casual smile, “Although Jiang Zhengxing lacks a moral compass, he actually does have top-tier abilities and is cunning and ruthless enough. If it wasn’t for someone deliberately targeting him, even if he couldn’t make the Jiang family more prominent, he would still have more than enough to maintain their status as the wealthiest family in Jiang City!”

Ye Xingbei’s eyes widened, “You’re saying someone purposely targeted the Jiang family? Who? Who targeted the Jiang family?”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, his eyes sparkling, “Give me a kiss, then I’ll tell you!”

“…” Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes at him, switched off the light and turned over, her back towards him. She spoke coldly, “Go to sleep!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, propped himself up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, “You let me kiss you, then I’ll tell you!”

“…” Ye Xingbei flared up, turned around quickly and started hitting him, “Did I let you? Did I? Did I? Did I?”

Gu Junzhu grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and pinned her down against his chest, making it impossible for her to move.

Ye Xingbei had never been held so closely against a man before.

The man’s chest was warm and broad, his overpowering masculinity enwrapped her. His strong, slender arms, were like iron cuffs holding her, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t escape.

Ye Xingbei’s beautiful face flushed red with anger. Her heart was racing and she pushed him with all her strength, “What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!”

Gu Junzhu held her tightly with one hand while with the other held her chin, “Shh…”

He squinted his eyes, gradually leaning towards her, his lips almost touching hers, “I’ll tell you, the reason for the downfall of the Jiang family is because someone deliberately targeted them. And the ones who targeted the Jiang family…are your two biological brothers… Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei.”

Ye Xingbei stopped struggling abruptly.

She looked at Gu Junzhu in shock, her small rosy lips slightly parted, her beautiful lip shape and her breath as fragrant as orchids.

Gu Junzhu’s heart stirred, he extended his tongue and circled it around Ye Xingbei’s lips.

Ye Xingbei came back to her senses from the shock, mad and embarrassed. She raised her hand to slap Gu Junzhu’s face, “Gu, Jun, zhu!”

Gu Junzhu caught her wrist and chuckled lowly, “Baby, your hubby is here!”

“Get lost!” Ye Xingbei struggled hard, grinding her teeth, “Didn’t we agree to be a pretend couple? If you touch me again, we will get a divorce tomorrow!”

Gu Junzhu held on to Ye Xingbei’s wrist, looking serious, “Even if we are pretending, we’re still a couple, right? It’s pretty normal for couples to be affectionate with each other, isn’t it?”

Ye Xingbei: “…we are getting a divorce tomorrow! Divorce!”

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry!” Gu Junzhu stroked her hair, trying to soothe her, “Is it such a big deal just for a little kiss? We’ve slept together before, haven’t we?”

“Gu, Jun, zhu!” This time Ye Xingbei was truly furious, she felt both angry and helpless, with no way to deal with Gu Junzhu. Tears welled up in her eyes, her voice choking, “Let me go! I won’t pretend to be your wife anymore! We will get a divorce tomorrow! Get lost!”

Seeing Ye Xingbei on the verge of tears, Gu Junzhu realized that he had gone too far..
