Chapter 1388: Chapter 1392: The Delicate One
He sat down on the edge of the bed with Ye Xingbei in his arms, opened the bedside table, found the male ring he had prepared for himself, opened the ring box, and handed it in front of Ye Xingbei’s eyes.
Seeing the yellow diamond on the platinum ring that was identical to her wedding ring, Ye Xingbei knew these two rings were a pair.
She took the ring, looking at it fondly, and playfully scolded: "You’re so annoying, why didn’t you tell me? I ran around the whole day, my legs have become slender from exhaustion."
Gu Junzhu grasped her slender leg, his fingertip gliding over her straight, fine calves, "My wife’s legs have always been slender."
Ye Xingbei: "...Get away! That’s not the point, okay?"
"The point is I like it very much," Gu Junzhu rubbed her wedding band with the ring Ye Xingbei bought for him, "This is also the first gift you’ve given me. I must treasure it well."
"Impossible!" Ye Xingbei refused to concede: "You make it sound like I’m stingy! This is definitely not the first gift I’ve given you!"
Gu Junzhu asked, "Then give an example! Dear Student Ye Xiaobei, tell me, what else have you given me as a gift?"
"How can I remember everything? I’m not a computer," Ye Xingbei’s eyes lit up as she thought of something and pointed at the characters written on the wall: "Nah! Isn’t that it?"
Gu Junzhu glanced at the words Ye Xingbei had written on the wall and chuckled low, "Alright, I was wrong."
"See?" Ye Xingbei gloated, "I knew it, how could I be stingy?"
Gu Junzhu laughed, "But this writing, the paper was bought by me, the pen was bought by me, the ink was bought by me too..."
..." Ye Xingbei poked his chest, "Fifth Lord of Gu, you’re so vulgar! I gave you sentiment, you know? Sentiment!"
Gu Junzhu caught her poking hand and gently bit it, "Mhmm, that’s right, I know, you love me so desperately, for better or worse. The reason you don’t give gifts isn’t because you’re stingy; it’s because I am so wealthy, I have everything, you simply can’t think of anything to give me!"
Ye Xingbei: "...Besides telling you you’re utterly shameless, I don’t know what else to say."
Watching her coquettish look, his heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but lean over, pressing a kiss onto her beautiful clavicle.
Ye Xingbei lazily complained: "Get away, it’s ticklish!"
Gu Junzhu chuckled low, kissing her earlobe: "Ye Xiaobei, you’re getting more and more delicate... such a spoilt darling!"
Ye Xingbei: "Get away... stop it..."
She wanted to say "annoying devil".
The word "devil" almost slipped out, but she swallowed it.
She didn’t want that sort of negative word to have any connection with the man beside her.
Even though it was just a playful term.
But she still didn’t want to say it.
She must be crazy!
Gu Junzhu kissed her lovingly, "It’s okay, Ye Xiaobei, you don’t have to feel inferior, I’m best at pampering delicate darlings, the more spoilt you are, the more I like it."
Ye Xingbei: "...Do you have a masochistic tendency?"
"No," Gu Junzhu said: "I’m just used to being the master, whatever I raise, I can do it with the utmost care."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
She couldn’t help but think about what it meant to raise pigs?
She pinched him: "The books say that a woman is most vulnerable after lovemaking, and a man should whisper sweet nothings, but you, you just had to say everything I don’t want to hear! ...You’re finished, if you want to touch me next time, wait until next month!"
"As you wish," Gu Junzhu laughed, "after all, what you say never counts."
Ye Xingbei: "...Go away, let me sleep!"
"Sleep then," Gu Junzhu held her ring-adorned hand, kissing it once, a satisfied sigh escaping him: "Goodnight!"
Ye Xingbei also held his hand, opening one eye, staring at the ring on his hand and pondering, "Which one should I wear?"
Gu Junzhu said without hesitation: "Of course, the one you bought."
Ye Xingbei thought it over seriously and shook her head, "No, I want to wear the one you custom-made."
Gu Junzhu said, "Wear the one you bought, I like that one."
"No, wear the custom-made one." Ye Xingbei insisted.
"Why?" Gu Junzhu raised his eyebrows at her, "Isn’t the one you bought great?"
She had shopped for hours to finally buy it, surely she bought it back because she especially liked it.
"The custom-made one is better!" The yellow diamond on that ring, it is said, was cut from the same rough stone as the one on her ring.
That had a better meaning.
And besides, the matching yellow diamonds could be recognized by anyone with eyes that they were a pair.
How wonderful?
She insisted: "I don’t care, you have to wear the custom-made one!"
"Then what about this one?" Gu Junzhu looked at the ring on his hand.
Ye Xingbei reached out and caressed it: "Wear this one before we hold the wedding ceremony; let it be the engagement ring. After we get married, you can wear the custom-made one, and this one... buy a chain and put it around Xiao Shu’s neck."
Then their family of three would all have her favorite stars.
Perfect!
She’s so clever!
Gu Junzhu considered it, "That could work! ...I can have someone design it, to fit a micro tracker on the ring, or even a tranquilizer needle, to act as a micro self-defense weapon."
"Is that possible?" Ye Xingbei caressed the ring, expressing skepticism, "It’s so small; won’t it be difficult to accomplish?"
Gu Junzhu smiled and flicked her cheek, "My dear, you have to believe in the power of technology and the abilities of your man!"
Ye Xingbei thought about the sci-fi movies she had seen before and was convinced, "Hmm, that’s a good idea... then we have to go buy another one tomorrow, and make one for Xiao Yue as well, we can’t play favorites. Otherwise, if all three of us have one and Xiao Yue doesn’t, even if Xiao Yue isn’t sad, your son will be crying."
"Alright," Gu Junzhu said: "Then tomorrow let’s see if there is a moon-themed design."
