Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1925 - 1929: Feeling Wronged

"Alright," Gu Junzhu no longer put on a brave face and admitted, "I heard from Xiao Chi that Ah Jue jumped into the Yu Ling River and he still hasn’t been found. I was a bit flustered..."

He tightly grasped Ye Xingbei’s hand: "I can lose everything, but I can’t lose you all... not even one of you can be lost!"

He worked tirelessly, already standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, yet not resting even for a moment, just so he could protect those important to him when they needed it.

Only by becoming very strong could he shield them, allowing them to be happy and carefree, living without burdens, freely and easily.

"You won’t lose everything," Ye Xingbei held his hand back, looking up at him: "What I have is yours, too. I will work very hard to have plenty, so you will never have nothing."

She understood why Gu Junzhu was already so capable yet still worked so fiercely.

She was just like Gu Junzhu.

She hoped that one day she could become as strong as Gu Junzhu.

She hoped that when Gu Junzhu needed it, she could also shield him from the wind and rain.

Separated, they rule independently; together, they are unmatched.

She wanted to be that person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Junzhu!

Gu Junzhu put his arm around her shoulders and ruffled her hair, "Ye Xiaobei, you’re really sweet today!"

Ye Xingbei raised an eyebrow at him, "When am I not sweet?"

"You’re sweet every day," Gu Junzhu slid his hand lightly across her lips, "but today your words are especially sweet."

Ye Xingbei gave him a sidelong glance, "So, does the Fifth Lord of Gu like it or not?"

"I like it!" Gu Junzhu nodded vigorously with a strong sense of survival, "I like it a lot..."

He tilted his head and gave Ye Xingbei a kiss, "Darling, I like you no matter how you are!"

Ye Xingbei was about to say something when the phone rang.

She took out the phone, glanced at it, and answered, holding it to her ear: "Hello."

"Hello, Mom." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The sound of Xiao Shumiao’s choked voice came from Ye Xingbei’s ear.

Ye Xingbei’s heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Xiao Shu, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Mom, where did you go? I miss you!" As soon as Ye Xingbei asked, Xiao Shumiao started sobbing, "Mom, I fell down the stairs, it hurts so much, boo hoo hoo..."

Ye Xingbei was startled, "Where did you fall? Did you hit your head? Has a doctor checked you, are your bones alright?"

"It’s alright, madam, don’t worry," Lingyue took the phone and apologized, "I’m sorry, madam, it was my fault, I didn’t watch Xiao Shu properly, and he rolled down the stairs. But he’s already been seen by a doctor, it’s just some scrapes on his knees and palms, his head and bones are fine."

"Rolled down the stairs?" Ye Xingbei was so startled her heart almost stopped: "From how high did he roll down the stairs?"

"Not very high," Lingyue said, "Just two steps, Xiao Shu thought there was only one more step, misstepped, and took a tumble."

Ye Xingbei: "...That’s called taking a tumble, not rolling down the stairs."

Hearing that he rolled down the stairs, her heart almost stopped beating from fright.

"Yes..." Lingyue said, "But Xiao Shumiao did take a bit of a roll..."

"Hmm," Xiao Shumiao cried and yelled from the side, "Rolled, it hurt a lot, everything hurts, Mom, where did you go?"

"Mom’s outside, coming back right away, be good, don’t cry, Mom will be back soon." Ye Xingbei coaxed for quite a while before she managed to stop Xiao Shumiao from crying.
