Chapter 985: Chapter 989: Making Him Spend Every Night Alone in an Empty Room! Chapter 985: Chapter 989: Making Him Spend Every Night Alone in an Empty Room! Ye Xingbei said with a smile, “Gu Junzhu told me that Han Zuo’s annual salary is in the tens of millions, and there’s a bonus and dividends at the end of the year. Although Gu Junzhu didn’t tell me how much the bonus and dividends are, I think, with Gu Group being such a large company, the year-end bonus and dividends are definitely not small.”

“Wow, the Vice President of Gu Group!” Yian Jingxue’s eyes sparkled, “Just throwing around that title is enough to scare the daylights out of my second and third aunts, not to mention those two toads! Do you have his photo? Would he agree to pretend to be my boyfriend?”

Ye Xingbei said, “I don’t have a photo, but I can assure you responsibly that Han Zuo’s looks are on par with Brother Lan and Brother Li. You can rest easy. As for whether he is willing to pretend to be your boyfriend… I estimate there won’t be a big problem.”

As for why, well, that’s because he’s an employee under Gu Junzhu!

When Yian Jingxue suggested finding a fake boyfriend, Ye Xingbei went through a mental list of single, handsome young men around her.

She quickly ruled each one out.

Her eldest brother was the future Family Head of the Xie Family–serious and rigid, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to be part of such childish theatrics. Perhaps if she pleaded, her brother would agree, but she didn’t want to trouble him.

Her Second Brother had unquestionable looks, but his personality was too erratic; he couldn’t hold his own in a serious setting.

Fang Yao had great looks too, but he had an injury to his leg, and if he walked a bit faster, it showed a bit of a limp.

She feared that her second and third aunts would use words like “cripple” to attack Fang Yao, and that would leave her feeling horribly guilty.

Yian Jingxue would definitely approve of Duan Yanbing’s appearance, but Duan Yanbing didn’t have an identity that could awe her family of exquisite relatives.

After some thought, the name Han Zuo flashed through her mind.

Han Zuo was a subordinate of Gu Junzhu; if Gu Junzhu asked, Han Zuo would very likely not refuse.

Han Zuo’s looks were no less than any of the men mentioned before–it’s just that each man had his own unique charm.

Han Zuo also had a title that commanded respect: Vice President of Gu Group.

Just tossing Han Zuo’s business card in front of Yian Jingxue’s unreasonable relatives would be enough to intimidate them.

Once her relatives felt wary of Yian Jingxue, her life in the following months would become much easier.

The more Ye Xingbei thought about it, the more she felt Han Zuo was the right choice.

Of course, Gu Junzhu still had to discuss this matter with Han Zuo.

It was a discussion, not a command.

If Han Zuo was willing, great; if not, she wouldn’t coerce him.

But considering Gu Junzhu’s description of Han Zuo as “seeming aloof, but actually having a kind heart and easily trusting others,” she believed that as long as she played up Yian Jingxue’s pitiful situation, Han Zuo would definitely agree.

She briefly shared Han Zuo’s backstory with Yian Jingxue, who, angered, slammed the table, “What’s the name of that ungrateful woman? Tell me, if I ever run into her, I’ll beat her up for my future boyfriend!”

Ye Xingbei: “…I didn’t ask Gu Junzhu for that woman’s name, and he didn’t say either. Plus, you’re getting into the role too quickly! What future boyfriend? It’s not even a sure thing yet!”

“The better the man, the faster I get into the role,” Yian Jingxue cupped her face, “Such an easy-to-deceive guy is so easy to bully! Beibei, when you go back, you must tell your man to get a move on and close the deal. Otherwise, I’ll ask you out for dinner every night, leaving him to sleep alone every evening!”

Ye Xingbei: “…How about I dial his number for you, and you talk to him yourself?”

“No, no, no,” Yian Jingxue quickly backed down, her head shaking like a rattle-drum, pressing the service button, calling the waiter with a string of hasty orders for food: “Quick, quick, quick, eat up and go home to attend to your husband. A married woman should revolve around her husband, practice the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and must be home by eight o’clock!”

“…,” Ye Xingbei patted her sympathetically, “Poor Xiao Xue, tormented by that bunch of jerks to the point of craziness. Don’t worry, once I get home, I’ll have a good talk with Gu Junzhu to make sure he convinces Han Zuo to come rescue you!”

“Yeah,” Yian Jingxue clasped her hands over her heart, batting her bright, watery eyes, obediently nodding, “Then I’ll just wait for my Beibei princess to call upon the Magic Dragon to save me!”

Ye Xingbei couldn’t hold back and chuckled.

Yian Jingxue also broke out laughing with a “puh” and threw herself onto Ye Xingbei, the two laughing together like a pair of fools.

The dishes were quickly served.

Yian Jingxue was anxious to return to her grandfather at home, so the two chatted while eating. They didn’t linger after the meal and left the restaurant.

Gu Junzhu had said he would pick her up after nine o’clock, but it was only just past eight, so Ye Xingbei called Gu Junzhu to ask him to come earlier.

Standing hand in hand by the roadside, they waited for Gu Junzhu’s car.
