Chapter 887: Chapter 891 My Heart is Broken

Ye Xingbei watched Gu Junzhu’s speechless expression with schadenfreude, “That’s what you get for deceiving children randomly. They’re young, but they’ve got great memories. Later, they might even tell others, ‘Do you know why I don’t like my sister? Because her flowery dress is too expensive, and my dad can’t afford it.’”

Gu Junzhu: “…”

He felt as if a deep arrow had struck his chest.

“Baby, actually…”

He was about to make an effort to restore his grand image in his son’s heart, not wanting his son to think he was a man who couldn’t afford to buy flowery dresses for his daughter. Suddenly, Xiao Shumiao thought of something, slapped his little hands together forcefully, “Ah! Right, dad, you distracted me, I almost forgot!”

Gu Junzhu: “…”

Who was interrupting whom, exactly?

“Dad, can you take me, mom, and Brother Xiaoyue out to play today?” Xiao Shumiao wrapped his arms around his neck and asked, “Just now, my cousin said that today is the Candy Festival in Feng City. Lots of candy sellers will be at the temple fair street for the festival, shall we go too?”

Few children can resist the allure of candy, and Xiao Shumiao was no exception.

Thinking of the sea of candy Qiao Zui had mentioned, Xiao Shumiao’s eyes literally lit up.

Gu Junzhu nodded: “Okay.”

He was afraid that if he said no, his son would once again misunderstand him as a man who couldn’t even afford candy.

That would be too much to bear!

“Yay!” Xiao Shumiao clapped his little hands in cheer: “Then can we go now?”

“Okay,” Gu Junzhu put him down on the ground and patted his little bottom, “Go change your clothes, and we’ll set off once you’re ready.”

“Okay, daddy, I love you!” The little guy kissed Gu Junzhu loudly on the cheek, turned around, grabbed Lingyue’s hand, and bounced upstairs to change clothes.

Gu Junzhu glanced at Ye Xingbei, who was standing next to him enjoying the scene, “Ye Xiaobei, can we talk about something?”

Ye Xingbei moved a few steps to the side, distancing himself a bit and looking at him warily: “What?”

“Look at how petty you are!” Gu Junzhu reached out and pinched her earlobe, “Seeing you reminds me of the saying ‘every bush and tree looks like an enemy, at the slightest sound one is alarmed.’”

Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes and despised him, “Isn’t that because you have too many previous offenses and your credibility is too low?”

“So this is how you see me?” Gu Junzhu clutched at his chest, feigning heartbreak, “My heart is shattered.”

Ye Xingbei assessed him for a moment and nodded, “I have to admit now that you were right when you said any industry would suffer a loss without you. It’s a pity you’re not an actor. Otherwise, you’d probably easily grab an Oscar or something.”

Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss, “This time it’s a serious matter, no tricks. Just help me explain to Xiao Shumiao that his dad isn’t poor at all, and could afford to raise a hundred and eighty daughters.”

Ye Xingbei glared at him: “Who are you planning to have a hundred and eighty daughters with?”

“…” Gu Junzhu shook his head and sighed: “Ye Xiaobei, can I say that you always focus on the strangest things? A hundred and eighty is obviously an exaggeration. Even if you could give birth, don’t you think I’d fear perishing from exhaustion? It’s not easy for you to have children, but do you think it’s easy for me?”

“…” Ye Xingbei blushed and spat at him, “Be serious.”

“I am being serious,” the Fifth Lord of Gu said innocently, “It’s just that your focus is always so strange, managing to twist my very serious conversation off track.”
