“Ye Xiaobei…” Gu Junzhu tightened his grip on her hand and looked at her, “We are legally married, we had a wedding night, my father even held a banquet for us. You are my wife, the one who will be with me for a lifetime! I won’t let anyone bully you, just wait and see. No matter who dares to bully you, I will make them regret it!”

Bathing in lamplight, he looked stunning.

He, who had always possessed a charming and mesmerizing face, looked even more handsome and soul-stirring under the warm and hazy lamplight.

Especially those eyes, so clear and shiny, sparked a light that Ye Xingbei couldn’t understand. It was like a whirlpool that could suck away the soul, attracting Ye Xingbei so much that she could not shift her gaze.

It was only after a while she awkwardly averted her gaze and softly said as she moved her hand within his grasp, “But, aren’t we pretending to be a couple?”

Gu Junzhu pulled her into his embrace and kissed her head, “Even if we’re pretending, we’re still a couple! You’re my wife, Gu Junzhu’s wife. I can’t even bear to hurt you, how can I let others do so?”

He gave the back of her head a good rub, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you and Xiao Shu for a lifetime!”

Ye Xingbei felt somewhat dazed.

A lifetime?

Were they still pretending to be a couple?

Hadn’t they become a real married couple?

She looked up at Gu Junzhu, “Are you never going to find a real wife?”

Gu Junzhu looked at her seriously, “You are my wife, why do I need to find another? Do you want me to be guilty of bigamy?”

Ye Xingbei, “…But aren’t we just pretending?”

“Who said so?” Gu Junzhu seriously said, “Our marriage certificate is real! Our union is legally protected! Who dares to say that we’re just pretending?”

Ye Xingbei,

Legally speaking, they indeed were a real married couple.

But… but hadn’t they agreed to pretend?

She was now all mixed up.

It seems she had inadvertently been tricked by him!

What pretending to be a couple?

They had a marriage certificate!

In the eyes of others, they were a real couple!

But real couples… they had agreed to each get their desires met by pretending to be a couple!

Real or pretending, Ye Xingbei was now totally confused.

Gu Qingrun had given her some painkillers with a sedative component. As she was thinking, her mind became muddled, and she uncontrollably closed her eyes, saying groggily, “I’ll go to sleep first, we can talk tomorrow…”

“Don’t sleep yet,” Gu Junzhu asked, “What happened tonight? How did you end up in a dispute with Xie Jinfei?”

Ye Xingbei closed her eyes, and mumbled a few sentences. As her voice gradually became softer, she fell asleep.

Luckily, before she dozed off, she had explained the details of the incident.

Gu Junzhu withdrew his phone and sent a simple text to Gu Chi.

Gu Chi replied swiftly with three simple words: Yes, Young Master!

Gu Junzhu threw his phone to the side, his lips curved into a cold smile.

Daring to bully his wife?

They’re asking for trouble!

Ye Xingbei woke up late the next day.

When she opened her eyes, it was already past ten o’clock.

Startled, she quickly sat up.

Ye Yiyang, who had been reading a book beside her, immediately put down the book and climbed over to her. He gently touched the bruise on her face and asked anxiously, “Mom, you’re awake? Does it still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Ye Xingbei replied with a smile, giving her son a good morning kiss and caressing his soft little face, “Darling, why aren’t you at school?”
