Chapter 1074: Chapter 1078 I Think You’re Asking for a Beating! Chapter 1074: Chapter 1078 I Think You’re Asking for a Beating! “It’s no effort at all,” Gu Junzhu said nonchalantly as he held Xiao Shu’s soft hand in one hand and his cellphone in the other. “I’m just walking with my wife and child, I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else.”

Wife and child?

The thought of Ye Xingbei, who had haunted his dreams for six long years, now accompanying another man, pierced Li Qi’s heart deeply.

“Okay, okay…” Li Qi took a deep breath. “Thank you once again, Fifth Brother. Goodbye, Fifth Brother.”

After Gu Junzhu hung up the phone, Ye Xingbei tilted her head and asked, “Who was that? What effortless help?”

“Li Qi,” Gu Junzhu replied. “He said Xie Motong is indeed pregnant. He has already given her an abortion pill and specifically called to thank us.”

“It really was a small effort,” Ye Xingbei sighed softly. “After taking the abortion pill… sigh…”

Gu Junzhu knew what she was thinking. He let go of Xiao Shumiao’s hand and rubbed her head. “Don’t overthink it; it indeed was a small life, but with a mother like Xie Motong and a father like Li Qi, even if the child were born, he wouldn’t have been happy.”

Ye Xingbei turned her head to look at him with a slightly surprised expression.

She didn’t say anything, just sighed, and Gu Junzhu knew what was on her mind.

She indeed felt uneasy.

She faintly wondered if she and Gu Junzhu hadn’t seen Xie Motong and hadn’t told Li Qi about Xie Motong’s pregnancy, then perhaps the child wouldn’t have been aborted and could have been born safely.

Even though Xie Motong was a bad person, the child in her womb was innocent.

It was a tiny new life.

But now, he no longer had a chance to come into this world.

Seeing her surprised look, Gu Junzhu shook his head with a smile and rubbed her head again. “Silly girl, your face betrays all your thoughts. It’s not hard at all to guess what’s on your mind.”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Was he calling her stupid?

She pushed him away. “Get away from me.”

“Okay, okay,” Fifth Lord Gu surrendered unprincipledly. “It’s not that your thoughts are easy to guess, but because the two of us, without the mythical birds paired wings, share a heart-to-heart connection! We’re lovers, naturally in tune with each other; I know what you’re thinking with just one glance.”

“Is that so?” Ye Xingbei actually wanted to pretend to be very angry, but her lips disobediently curled upwards.

Laughing and shaking his head, Gu Junzhu exclaimed, “That’s why I say, there are fewer and fewer people who like to tell the truth in this world, because telling the truth gets you beaten, while sweet talk can cheer people up.”

Ye Xingbei slapped him, “I think you’re just asking for it!”

Gu Junzhu laughed loudly, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead. “I’m serious! Think about it, after that child is born, who would be the unluckiest person.”

Ye Xingbei thought for a moment, “Liao Pingyuan?”

“Right,” Gu Junzhu said. “He’s a very loving and responsible man, who due to his introverted nature, chose to be a sign language teacher at a special school. He’s the most beloved and adored teacher there, he’s kind-hearted, hardworking, responsible at work, caring for his students, and filial to his parents. Perhaps his abilities are limited and he hasn’t done anything earth-shattering, but he’s like the vast majority of people in this world. Though he hasn’t done anything spectacular, he uses his greatest kindness and efforts to make the lives of those around him best. Such a person should have a kind-hearted wife and lovely children, not be married to a scheming Xie Motong and raising another man’s children.”
