Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 2412: Chapter 2416: Xiao Shumiao’s New Skill

If Qin Junye’s uncle and cousin get used to better things, they won’t be grateful for us helping them buy a house and finding jobs, instead they’ll blame us for not buying them a bigger house, and buying such a small one instead.

They might even say that since we have money, we should buy them a house in the county or city and not be so stingy as to buy them a small, shabby house in town.

Gu Junzhu looked at Qin Junye and wrapped an arm around Ye Xingbei’s waist, saying, "I settled Qin Junye’s uncle’s family with hopes that Qin Junye would cut ties here in the future. I don’t want him to have any close emotional relatives besides us."

"Mm," Ye Xingbei nodded, "I understand."

People’s hearts are biased.

If they are children we sponsor outside, whoever they have in their hearts is beyond our control.

But if they’re raised in our home, they must be wholeheartedly devoted to us, to prevent any future problems.

"The strongest fortress is always broken from within," Gu Junzhu said, "I admire Qin Junye a lot, but I’m not adopting him for now. I must wait until I’m sure there’s only us in his heart before I take him as my disciple."

"You’re doing the right thing," Ye Xingbei said, "We must protect ourselves first to have the ability to help those in need."

She wrapped her arm around Gu Junzhu’s arm, and looked up at him, "You handle things with such foresight and method, being with you makes me feel very at ease."

Gu Junzhu looked down at her with a smile, indulgently rubbing her head, "Ye Xiaobei, tell me the truth. Are you now my loyal fan and your most admired person is me?"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

She shook her head and pinched Gu Junzhu’s face, "Fifth Lord of Gu, your narcissism is in its advanced stages, beyond cure!"

If she were to label the Fifth Lord of Gu, the first would definitely be ’narcissist’, and the second ’overprotective parent in advanced stages’!

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, hugging her waist and lowering his head to kiss her, "Ye Xiaobei, my fear of my wife is also in the advanced stages, beyond cure."

Ye Xingbei pursed her lips, unable to hold back her laughter, "Yeah right!"

Gu Junzhu tightened his hug, "Really! Look, yesterday I wanted to do something in the tent, you refused, and I just obediently went to sleep, right?"

Ye Xingbei: "... Being afraid of your wife is commendable? And you mention it like it’s something to be proud of!"

Gu Junzhu smiled, "Fear of my wife shows that I cherish her. All men who cherish their wives are good men. Thus, I’m a good man. Being a good man isn’t commendable?"

Ye Xingbei: "... You win!"

Gu Junzhu nodded, "Thank you for letting me win!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

So exhausting!

"Mom and Dad, I learned how to climb trees!" Xiao Shumiao called out to them from afar, waving energetically, "Mom and Dad, look at me, look at me!"

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei looked over.

Seeing them look, Xiao Shumiao hugged the tree trunk and climbed up quickly.

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Her son has become a little monkey too!

Although not as fast as Qin Junye, but her son is young!

Only five years old!

And he can climb trees!

Ye Xingbei walked over, looking up at Xiao Shumiao and said, "Xiao Shu, you’re amazing!"

Xiao Shumiao sat on a tree branch, waving his arms and legs, "Mom, climbing trees is so fun, do you want to learn? I’ll teach you?"

Ye Xingbei: "... Mom climbed enough trees when she was young, doesn’t want to climb anymore now."
