Chapter 1048: Chapter 1052: Doting Chapter 1048: Chapter 1052: Doting Ye Xingbei felt distressed, “I know you’re worried about Grandpa Yian, but birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws that no one can stop. You also need to take care of your own health.”

“I know, I know!” Yian Jingxue giggled, “Before, when I had no one to accompany me, I didn’t like eating. But now that you are here, right? If you accompany me to eat often from now on, with your devastatingly handsome looks, I can eat two more bowls of rice!”

Ye Xingbei shook his head and chuckled helplessly, “You, you’re beyond help!”

“Alright, alright, enough with that,” Yian Jingxue said, “Hurry up and come over, I’m waiting for you.”

“Mm,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “I’ll change my clothes and be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingbei went upstairs to change clothes with Gu Junzhu.

After changing, they left the house.

The car first headed to the employee apartment of Gu Corporation to pick up Han Zuo.

Han Zuo was living in an employee apartment block behind Gu Corporation.

He had been working at Gu for more than two years.

At the end of last year, through his connection with Gu Junzhu, he bought his own villa near Gu’s villas.

But since he was alone, well-fed himself with no family to worry about, and felt lonely returning to an empty villa, he didn’t really go home often, staying in the subsidiary apartment block close to the company for convenience.

He was quite satisfied, and Gu Junzhu was even more pleased.

The company and its employee apartments were at most a five-minute walk apart. If there was an emergency at the company, Gu Junzhu could call, and Vice President Han would be on site immediately, almost like a summoned beast at his beck and call.

After picking up Han Zuo, the three of them hurried towards the Yian Family’s home.

Half an hour later, the car entered a villa area.

From afar, Ye Xingbei could see Yian Jingxue standing outside the Yian Family’s villa gate, looking out expectantly.

The car stopped in front of Yian Jingxue.

The car door opened, and several people got out.

Yian Jingxue rushed over and seized Ye Xingbei’s hand, “Beibei!”

She gave Ye Xingbei a hug and greeted Gu Junzhu before turning to Han Zuo with a sweet smile, “Brother Zuo, you’ve come.”

Her voice was as sweet as if she had just scooped it out of honey water.

Ye Xingbei twisted her a bit and laughed softly, teasing her, “So cheesy!”

Yian Jingxue gave her a stealthy glance, but when she looked at Han Zuo, she had already assumed a gentle and sweet demeanor, “Brother Zuo, please come in.”

She pulled a face at Ye Xingbei and ran ahead to Han Zuo, taking his arm and looking up at him playfully, “Brother Zuo, from now on, you’re officially my boyfriend, remember not to give us away later!”

Han Zuo tugged at the corner of his mouth and nodded, “Okay.”

Ye Xingbei, arm in arm with Gu Junzhu, followed Yian Jingxue and Han Zuo, watching Yian Jingxue chatter nonstop with Han Zuo, her voice sweet like pearls dropping onto a jade plate, her smile blossoming like a flower, as if she embodied the allure of peach and hibiscus blossoms in March.

Ye Xingbei clicked her tongue, “People always say friends are forgotten in the presence of beauty, and now I am witnessing a live example.”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, glancing at her with a teasing smile, “Aren’t you also forgetting friends for beauty?”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

To say that she wasn’t forsaking friends for beauty in front of her boyfriend would be asking for punishment, wouldn’t it?

She decisively nodded, “I do forget friends for beauty too!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, his voice as alluring as it made Ye Xingbei’s bones turn soft and her ears tingle.

He reached out and rubbed the back of her head, “Good girl, you’ve become smarter after being with me for a while, now you know what’s meant by ‘a wise man submits to circumstances’.”

His voice was as soft as water, and although he was teasing, it carried an almost imperceptible undertone of gentle doting.
