Chapter 1041: Chapter 1045: Shameless! Chapter 1041: Chapter 1045: Shameless! Ye Xingbei looked around, “Are we still in Gu Garden?”

After they had just entered the gates of Gu Garden, she had been busy talking to Xiao Shu and had forgotten to look around.

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu said, “The perfume company under Gu Group has a flagship product called Starlight. The base note of this perfume is extracted from Star Grass, which comes from this very field in Gu Garden.”

“Starlight? What a beautiful name!” Ye Xingbei admired the boundless field of Star Grass while praising profusely, “It’s both a feast for the eyes and a source of profit. Our Fifth Lord of Gu truly never makes a losing deal.”

Gu Junzhu wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and planting a kiss near her ear, he chuckled softly, “Of course, I have to be a very rich dad who can satisfy all your wishes, including treating you to giant lobsters.”

Ye Xingbei: “…get away from me!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled softly and turned to give Gu Chi a signal.

Understanding the cue, Gu Chi nodded and said something to Xiao Shumiao who was enthusiastically squatting in the field of Star Grass, engrossed in studying it with Lingyue.

Xiao Shumiao immediately stood up excitedly, took Gu Chi’s hand, and, looking back, grabbed Lingyue to follow Gu Chi to a distant place.

Soon, Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue, along with several bodyguards, vanished into the depths of the night, their figures no longer visible.

Ye Xingbei pushed Gu Junzhu away, looking at him warily, “What are you up to?”

“I’m not up to anything,” Gu Junzhu pulled her back into his embrace, encircling her again, his gaze distant, he sighed contentedly, “I just thought the scenery here is so beautiful, having a couple of extra lightbulbs spoils it a bit. I had Xiao Chi take them somewhere else to play. The estate not only has the Star Grass field but also houses various poultry and livestock. All the meat and vegetables we eat come from Gu Garden.”

“Poultry and livestock?” Ye Xingbei asked with interest, “You mean chickens, ducks, geese, and cows, pigs, sheep? I’d like to go see them.”

She had seen people raising them in the small town where she used to live, and it had been a long time since she’d seen them.

“What’s so good about stinky poultry and livestock?” Gu Junzhu spoke, circling her waist, “A beauty like you should stay here admiring the flowers…”
He smiled, leaning in to pluck a stalk of Star Grass and fixing it in Ye Xingbei’s hair, his fingertips gently grazing her cheek, “Beauty enough to overturn empires when both are united, witnessed by a king with a smile.”

Locked by his tender and fervent gaze, Ye Xingbei’s cheeks grew warm, and her eyes couldn’t help but lower. She muttered a soft retort, “Praising me for being beautiful is one thing, but you go ahead and include yourself in the praise too, shameless!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, sealing her lips with a kiss, “Then I should say, beauty enough to overturn empires when both are united, watched by Junzhu with a smile.”

Ye Xingbei dodged with a laugh, “Beauty enough to overturn empires when both are united, watched by a small pig with a smile.”

Gu Junzhu: “…You really do need to be dealt with!”

He extended his leg to trip Ye Xingbei at the calves, and she immediately plunged toward the ground.

Before Ye Xingbei could fall, Gu Junzhu reached out to catch her, pulling her into his arms. He rolled to the side, landing amidst the flowers, with Ye Xingbei ending up on his chest.

Ye Xingbei, lying on top of him with her hands propped against his chest, warned him, “We’re out in the open, and the child is still around, no funny business!”

“Don’t worry, unless I call Xiao Chi, no one will come,” Gu Junzhu wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his hot palm sliding under the hem of her clothes, caressing her smooth back, “To avoid people trampling and stealing, there’s an electric fence around the Star Grass field, it’s the safest place.”
