Seeing her embarrassed and flustered, resembling an angered little cat, his mood strangely lifted. He smirked, got out of bed, and introduced himself, “I’m Gu Junzhu, the master of this place.”

As he suddenly rose from the bed, his sturdy, upright back and his well-toned legs made an unexpected assault on Ye Xingbei’s eyesight.

She gasped in surprise, raising her hand to cover her eyes and exclaimed angrily, “Are you a pervert? An exhibitionist! Shameless!”

Gu Junzhu casually put on a bathrobe and sneered, “You’re calling me perverted? You’re the one who slipped into my bed while I was unsuspecting!”

“That’s nonsense!” Ye Xingbei was quite incensed, “I just returned from abroad and hitched a ride with Jiang Siyou. She claimed to be taking me home to see my grandfather for the last time. Why did she bring me here? What foul deeds are going on between you two?”

Gu Junzhu took a sip of water from his cup, turning back to look at her, “Although I am a victim too, I have the brains to figure things out and don’t need to question others about everything. So, let me tell you – congratulations! You’ve been married off to a dying invalid by your family. You’re about to become a widow!”

“I’m married? To whom?” Ye Xingbei moved her hand away, staring at him in shock, “Are you referring to you? Are you dying?”

This man was clearly a troublemaker, and troublemakers have a knack for longevity. Seeing him so sprightly, did he look like a dying man at all?

“Yes, I am the one,” Gu Junzhu smirked, “Are you not only slow, but also hard of hearing? Haven’t you heard that the Fifth Young Master of Gu family, Gu Junzhu, has been bedridden since he mysteriously returned from overseas a year ago? His life is hanging by a thread, an imminent departure from this world.” 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝒎

Ye Xingbei looked across at the man standing in the backlight.

At least 1.85 meters tall, his figure under his bathrobe was exceptional, as she had already seen.

His handsome face was unparalleled, especially those eyes; pitch-black, deep, containing an indescribable charm, as if it could drown one’s soul.

His face was admittedly pale, hinting at illness, but it was a far cry from his claim of being “at death’s door”.

If he was truly “at death’s door”, who was the one with the energy of a young dragon and tiger last night that left her feeling as if her bones had come undone from the vigorous activity?

A ghost?

She glared at him, accusing indignantly, “Liars! Both you and Jiang Siyou are shameless liars!”

The girl was too easy on the eyes. Her little face was immaculate, snow-white, and the skin incredibly tender as if it would shatter with the slightest touch. Even if she was merely a vase, she would still please anyone who laid their eyes upon her.

Her anger intensified her charm, her big round eyes grabbed one’s attention, giving an itch to cuddle her on their laps and coo.

Gu Junzhu found the situation amusing, he was about to retort when there was a knock on the door, “Young Master, breakfast is ready. The chairman invites you and Young Madam for breakfast.”

“Understood,” Gu Junzhu nonchalantly put aside his water cup, “We’ll be there shortly.”

Ye Xingbei widened her eyes and pointed at Gu Junzhu: “Young Master?”

Then she pointed at herself, “Young Madam?”

“Your brain finally fired up,” Gu Junzhu turned towards the bathroom, “but you still look rather silly!”

Ye Xingbei was left speechless.

She was stunned for a moment, then snapped to her senses, “Gu Junzhu, come back and explain everything to me! How did I become this ‘Young Madam’?”

Half an hour later.

Ye Xingbei, dressed in the new clothes prepared for her by the Gu family, sat down in the dining hall downstairs.

Unexpectedly, in the Gu family’s dining hall, besides Gu Junzhu’s grandfather, she also ran into an old acquaintance… Bai Mengluan.

Bai Mengluan was the woman who had wanted to buy one of her eggs. After being refused, a year later, she had forced a child onto her, made slanderous claims about her having relations with a man, which led to Ye Xingbei being thrown out of the Jiang Family.

Bai Mengluan had not expected Gu Junzhu’s newlywed wife to be Ye Xingbei, who had been missing for more than five years!

Thinking of all the things she did to Ye Xingbei, Bai Mengluan turned pale with shock.

Senior Master Gu kindly greeted Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, come, have a seat. I asked my kitchen to cook your favourite meals based on what your parents told me. Let’s see whether you find it to your liking.”

“Uncle Gu, thank you for your kindness,” Ye Xingbei’s demeanor was courteous but distant, “However, my parents do not know my dietary preferences. Unfortunately, your inquiries might have been in vain.”

Gu Junzhu, sitting on his wheelchair, chuckled suddenly.

For the first time in his life, he saw someone else put his father in his place.

Interesting!

Very interesting!

Senior Gu’s face fell. He shot a glance at him, “What is there to laugh about? Aren’t you taking care of Beibei’s meal?”

Gu Junzhu darted a glance at Ye Xingbei, “She’s Beibei, not a baby. Do you need someone else to feed her?”

“Who needs your help?” Ye Xingbei glaring at him, “Stop playing these games! Stop pretending!”

This man acted like a perfectly healthy individual inside the bedroom. Yet, once outside, he suddenly needed to use a wheelchair, even appearing to be on his last moments.

Such convincing pretense!

If she hadn’t personally witnessed his impressive vigor and pointed gaze, she might have even believed him.

This liar! novelbuddy. com

A super liar!

“Dad, you see,” Gu Junzhu looked helplessly at Senior Gu, “I already mentioned several times that I’m a dying man, so who would want to marry me? Despite that, you arranged the marriage, and now she’s probably cursing me and wishing for my immediate demise. Why put us through all this?”
