Chapter 1574: Chapter 1578: If not doing the right thing now, then when?
"Of course," Gu Junzhu flicked her cheek lightly, "Baby, think about it, if this time, your older brother angered your grandfather, and your grandfather drove him out of the house, do you think I would stand idly by?"
Ye Xingbei held onto his hand, intertwining their fingers tightly, feeling an indescribable sweetness in her heart, "You wouldn’t..."
From the time they met until now, no matter what she faced, Gu Junzhu always stood firmly by her side, supporting her.
If her older brother were driven out of the house, Gu Junzhu definitely wouldn’t stand idly by.
Indeed, with the Gu Family and Gu Junzhu’s support, plus her brother’s own abilities, even if her grandfather drove him out of the house, her brother could still have a bright future.
The hidden worries in her heart were finally resolved, and Ye Xingbei felt happy.
She lifted her face and gave Gu Junzhu a peck, "Fifth Lord of Gu, you are so, so, so, so amazing! Simply perfect and omnipotent! Alright, I’m at ease now, off to sleep! Goodnight!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the pillow.
Gu Junzhu leaned over and pressed down, kissing her lips, "Baby, how can you be like this? Using me when needed, discarding when not, using and discarding like that isn’t good, right?"
Ye Xingbei laughed and pushed him, "Stop it, stop it."
"Not fooling around!" Gu Junzhu kissed her, "The moonlight is hazy, the night just right, if not to do this proper thing now, then when?"
His hand slipped into Ye Xingbei’s nightgown.
Ye Xingbei, after a few pushes, wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to his kiss.
Gu Junzhu chuckled lowly, "Baby, this is a classic case of playing hard to get..."
Ye Xingbei: "Shut up!"
"The only thing in this world that can shut me up is... your... tongue..." Gu Junzhu reached out to turn off the light and kissed her lips.

The next day, Xie Jinfei’s fever had subsided.
Ye Xingbei was particularly happy.
After breakfast, she placed the betrothal gifts Xie Yunlin had sent and the gifts she prepared for Si Duomian together; it was quite generous.
After everything was ready, they changed clothes and set off as a family to the Si Family.
This time, Si Duomian’s uncle, aunt, parents, two elder brothers, and Si Nuo were all present.
Before coming to the Si Family, Gu Junzhu had already informed the Si Family.
As their car drove into the Si Family’s courtyard, the Si Family members came out to greet them.
Si Duomian stood beside Mother Si and immediately saw Xie Jinfei.
She felt that in the days they hadn’t seen each other, Xie Jinfei seemed a bit thinner than that night, and his complexion was somewhat pale, making his eyes appear particularly black, very clear, and deep.
From the moment her gaze fell on Xie Jinfei’s face, her heart started to race, her face gradually turning red.
Mother Si tilted her head and glanced at her daughter, very pleased.
Every member of the Si Family was very satisfied with Xie Jinfei’s lineage.
Seeing her daughter’s shy and bashful reaction, it was clear she truly liked Xie Jinfei, which was perfect.
The Si Family welcomed Gu Junzhu and his group into the living room, seated them as guests and hosts, and after some pleasantries, Gu Junzhu had someone place the betrothal gifts on the coffee table, saying to Father Si and Mother Si, "Second Brother Si, Sister-in-law, Xiao Fei truly likes Mianmian, so we had someone select a few auspicious dates as pre-selected dates for Xiao Fei and Mianmian’s engagement. Please choose one, Second Brother Si and Sister-in-law."
Second Brother Si?
Sister-in-law?
Ye Xingbei was utterly taken aback by these titles.
Such generational titles... really messy!
