Chapter 1513: Chapter 1517: What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so… cunningly?
She loves children.
She wants to have them.
A lot, a whole lot!
Gu Junzhu was amused by her boundless enthusiasm. He pushed open the door to the private room and led her inside.
Gu Chi had reserved the best room.
The room was spacious, sunlight poured in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making the space bright and open.
From the windows, they could see Xiao Shumiao running around in the courtyard.
The courtyard was full of vintage pavilions, terraces, and buildings, with small artificial mountains and gazebos scattered around. Trees were lush and vibrant, and flowers blooming everywhere in a striking array of colors created a perfect picturesque scene.
Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei’s waist as they stood by the window, watching Xiao Shumiao frolicking in the courtyard with Lingyue, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.
In life, there are gains and losses; losing something also means gaining something else.
Just like him. Although his dreams were abruptly cut short due to injuries, he gained the chance to truly honor his father, allowing him to experience the joys of family.
And he could hold the waist of the girl he loved and watch their child grow freely and happily by their side.
This was a comforting moment he could never have had on the path he previously walked.
Thinking about his interrupted dream, it would inevitably bring fleeting regret and sorrow. But remembering his father’s kind, smiling face, that hint of regret would quickly dissipate into nothingness.
In his past life, what he had the least of was holidays.
Out of 365 days a year, he barely met his father a few times.
How could he have had moments like these, where he could accompany his father whenever his father was home?
People all have their end.
But with his devoted companionship now, after his father’s passing, he believed he would no longer feel that deep sorrow of wanting to care yet arriving too late.
Compared to chasing his dreams, he cherished these moments of serving at his father’s side far more.
As for his dreams… it didn’t matter. He could have many children with Ye Xiaobei, and someday, his children could fulfill those dreams for him.
Hmm… Doing it this way… seems a bit like those parents from legend who couldn’t fly themselves and so birthed an egg, letting it fly in their stead.
Kind of… a little shameless.
He chuckled quietly.
No big deal.
He was clever.
Against shamelessness, he used strategy.
With his level of intelligence, how could he not manage to convince his kids? Even if he didn’t ask them to pursue it, they would cry and beg to go themselves!
Ye Xingbei tilted her head to look at him, squinting her eyes slightly, “What are you thinking about? Smiling so… slyly?”
“Me? Sly?” Gu Junzhu pinched her cheek. “Ye Xiaobei, you must be imagining things! How can a fine young man as righteous and dignified as me be sly?”
Ye Xingbei let out a dismissive “tch” and was about to launch into a proper roast when the door was knocked.
Gu Chi stepped inside, “Young Master, Young Madam, Mr. Yu is here.”
Gu Junzhu responded indifferently, “Let him in.”
The dishes hadn’t been served yet—perfect timing.
Gu Chi turned and motioned to the person outside.
A few moments later, Yu Mo’s father entered the room.
Compared to their last meeting, he looked much older, his back was hunched, his expression weary, and over half of his hair had turned gray.
“Please, have a seat.” Gu Junzhu guided Ye Xingbei to sit at the main spot.
“Thank you.” Father Yu took a seat opposite them, his demeanor somewhat anxious and reserved.
“I never go back on my word,” Gu Junzhu began directly. “What I promised your daughter, I’ll make sure it gets done. I’ve already sent lawyers to handle the matter—to help her divorce your son-in-law. After she divorces him, I’ll make sure all her outstanding debts are paid off, and I’ll help you buy a home in a beautiful and peaceful place, so you two can enjoy your retirement… Of course, the money will come from Yu Mo herself.”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Big Boss!
All the money is coming from Yu Mo, and yet it’s suddenly all credited to you helping this and resolving that??
