Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1963 - 1967: The Difference Is Huge

Gu Junzhu chuckled, pulling her into his arms, "Beibei, since someone has contacted you, wanting to tell you who Xiao Shumiao’s biological mother is, I guess they must have made some kind of demand from you. The secret has come to light, even if you try to avoid it, the truth will eventually be revealed. Instead of passively accepting it later, why not take proactive steps now and hold the initiative in your own hands?"

"I don’t understand," Ye Xingbei’s voice choked. "Can you speak plainly?"

"You!" Gu Junzhu tapped her head affectionately, smiling, "Speaking plainly means going with the flow. If someone wants to tell you Xiao Shumiao’s background, you can calmly accept it and first see what kind of person Xiao Shumiao’s biological mother is, before deciding the next step..."

He lowered his gaze to look at Ye Xingbei, "With me here, are you still afraid of taking the wrong path?"

"But the other party has made demands, you can’t know," Ye Xingbei said. "Moreover, I promised her, I even swore, I can’t go back on my word."

Gu Junzhu frowned slightly, "Why can’t I know?"

"I don’t know why you can’t know either," Ye Xingbei said. "She said that if I let you know, she wouldn’t tell me Xiao Shumiao’s background secret anymore, so I had to agree to her."

Gu Junzhu’s brows furrowed slightly, "Then what do you plan to do next?"

"What else can I do?" Ye Xingbei said. "You can’t intervene in this matter, I have to handle it myself."

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, "Can you do it?"

"Drop the ’can’," Ye Xingbei said. "I dared to run away from a marriage alone at midnight at the age of fifteen, escaping from a remote town to Jiang City. Do you think I can or not? I was fine living without you, it’s not like I’m incapable, right?"

Gu Junzhu nodded in agreement, "Right, blame me... no, it’s your fault for looking too sweet and beautiful, making me forget you’re not a little bunny or a little fairy, you’re a little lion, a little fox."

"What?" Ye Xingbei feigned a smile, hitting him lightly, "Nonsense, not serious at all, can’t you see I’m seriously worried!"

"What’s there to worry about?" Gu Junzhu said, "Xiao Shumiao isn’t your biological son, and it’s not like today’s the first day you knew. Knowing who his biological mom is or not knowing—it makes a big difference?"

"It does make a big difference," Ye Xingbei said. "Before, not knowing who his biological mom was, he was just ours. If we find out who his biological mom is later, I’m afraid I’ll be conflicted about whether to return Xiao Shumiao to her."

"Why would you return Xiao Shumiao to her? She neither gave birth to him nor raised him, it was just providing an egg," Gu Junzhu said. "Besides, it’s not a matter of what you want; you need to respect Xiao Shumiao’s wishes."

Ye Xingbei: "...If that’s the case, then let’s not even try to find Xiao Shu’s biological mother!"

"Sure, that’s great!" Gu Junzhu spread his hands, "As long as you’re not haunted by it, don’t feel like you owe anyone, aren’t anxious or guilty, I’ll fully support you."

"..." Ye Xingbei pressed her temples in headache, "Okay... fine..."

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, "Fine what?"

"I’ll listen to you," Ye Xingbei said. "I’ll first find out who Xiao Shumiao’s biological mother is, and then decide the next steps."

"Perfectly fine," Gu Junzhu nodded, "With me here, you don’t need to worry about things falling apart. I’ve got everything sorted for you, no matter what happens, I’ll ensure it gets solved perfectly."
