Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 608: Chapter 611: A Kind Of Bad Called Husband Thinks You Are Not Good

“I’m not sure,” Gu Junzhu bit her finger, “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Let’s wait a few more days, when your wounds heal a bit more, I’ll accompany you.”

Ye Xingbei said, “I think I’m fine.”

Gu Junzhu smiled, “There’s one kind of ‘not fine’, and that’s when your husband thinks you’re not fine.”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Gu Junzhu pinched her cheeks, “Honey, what Ye Xinglan and I said, wasn’t just to provoke him, there is some truth to it. Your uncle is barely hanging on to life, if you go and tell him that you forgive him, his last wish will be fulfilled and he might just drop dead on the spot.”

Ye Xingbei: “…So, you’re saying I can’t tell him I’ve forgiven him?”

“Exactly,” said Gu Junzhu. “When you go, you should tell him that you won’t forgive him until he atones for his sins through his actions. That way, he will struggle to wake up, hoping for a chance to make it up to you.”

Ye Xingbei looked at him skeptically, “Why do I feel like you’re fooling me into not forgiving him?”

“How could it be? Everything I said is the ultimate wisdom!” The Fifth Lord of Gu said earnestly, “Look into my sincere eyes.”

Ye Xingbei: “…Get out!”

Gu Junzhu laughed and tousled her hair, “Suit yourself, say whatever you like. Anyway, based on my current impression of the Ye Family, I wouldn’t even be bothered to offer money for his funeral if he died. Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me.”

Ye Xingbei: “…I believe, you truly mean that.”

Two days later, Ye Xingbei’s wounds had basically scabbed over. Although she still couldn’t engage in drastic physical activity, getting out of bed and moving around wasn’t a problem.

After breakfast, having cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes, Ye Xingbei felt like she had finally sprung back to life.

The feeling of being injured and handicapped was unbearable, it felt luckiest to be a normal person.

Gu Junzhu accompanied her and they went to the Ye Family together.

After the guard at the gate announced their arrival, Ye Xingli personally came out to greet them.

Walking through the familiar courtyard, Ye Xingbei felt a sense of unfamiliarity that she had never experienced before.

She had lived here for five years.

During those five years, she had always been cautious and afraid, like walking on thin ice, fearing that she would be punished and disliked if she made any mistakes.

But now, when she returned, her heart was as calm as still water.

In the past, she was timid and humble in front of the Ye Family members.

Now, she was calm and confident.

She no longer owed anyone here anything.

She no longer needed to rack her brains thinking about how they could like her.

When desires cease, firmness arises.

She finally understood the essence of these four words.

Walking into the living room, Zhen Yuan supported Ye Xinglan who was coming downstairs.

Two days ago, after returning from the Gu Family, Ye Xinglan had fallen seriously ill and been confined to bed with a high fever.

Just this morning his temperature had started to decrease, but his body was still weak.

Ye Xingbei looked at Ye Xinglan and greeted him calmly: “Brother Lan, are you feeling better?”

“Much better,” Ye Xinglan smiled, “Fifth Brother, Beibei, would you like to have something to drink and rest a while, or would you like to meet my father?”

Ye Xingbei said, “Let’s visit Uncle first, we’ve just had breakfast, we don’t need anything to drink.”

“Okay.” Ye Xinglan nodded, courteously leading her and Gu Junzhu to his father’s room.

Ye Xinglan was warm and polite, a stark contrast to his previous aloof and superior demeanor.

Ye Xingbei felt no discomfort at all, and was completely at ease.

Such a relationship was just right. Neither too close, nor too distant.
