Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 541

Chapter 541: Chapter 542: The Official Boyfriend and the Secret Male Pet

Shi Qianling treats him the same way she treats everyone else, showing no signs of ambiguity or intimacy.

He thought the photos were normal.

But he knew, the Fifth Lord of Gu wouldn’t act without reason.

If he was asked to look, then there must be a problem with the photos.

A few minutes into the continuous loop of dozens of photos projected on the screen, Ye Xinglan finally noticed what was off, his face gradually turned pale.

Gu Junzhu glanced at him, her eyebrows raised in a smirk, “Noticed it? I see, you’re not completely hopeless.”

However, Ye Xingbei couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

The two people in the pictures were always behaving appropriately, there was nothing wrong.

She couldn’t help but ask Gu Junzhu, “What’s wrong with them? All I see is the master and servant strolling and dining together, at most their relationship is slightly better than average. But considering Mue Ting has been serving Shi Qianling since childhood, it’s reasonable for them to have feelings for each other.”

Just like Gu Chi and Gu Junzhu.

Gu Chi was officially Gu Junzhu’s bodyguard and assistant, but they were more like family.

When there were no outsiders around, Gu Chi and Gu Junzhu interacted very casually, and even occasionally joked around.

“There’s a hidden secret,” Gu Junzhu said, looking at the man and woman on the projector screen, her eyes full of interest, “Try to remember, who was the bodyguard by Shi Qianling’s side every time she met with Ye Xinglan?”

Ye Xingbei recalled and said, “They were her usual bodyguards, Jia Shi, Jia Lei, Mue An…”

As she was counting, she suddenly remembered something and blurted out in shock, “It was never Mue Ting!”

In the photos, Mue Ting was always one of the bodyguards closely following Shi Qianling.

But when Ye Xinglan was around, Mue Ting was either absent or distant from Shi Qianling.

Having figured this out, Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, stunned, “You mean… Shi Qianling and Mue Ting… have an affair?”

“What else?” Gu Junzhu raised her eyebrows, looking back at her, “If the two of them weren’t having an affair, why would Mue Ting be a close confidant by her side only when Ye Xinglan is not around and become an ordinary bodyguard when Ye Xinglan is present?”

“This is just your guess!” Ye Xinglan seemed to be trying to persuade Gu Junzhu, as well as himself, “This alone can’t prove that Qianqian and Mue Ting are in a secret relationship. People have feelings. Mue Ting has protected Qianqian since he was in his teens, it’s not strange that Qianqian trusts him.”

Gu Junzhu laughed, “Well, since you believe her so much, why don’t you come up with another reason for why Mue Ting is either absent or keeps his distance when she’s around you? Is it because Mue Ting is allergic to you? Or is Shi Qianling afraid that her boyfriend and secret lover would expose their feelings or habitual actions, raising suspicions?”

Gu Junzhu looked Ye Xinglan up and down, her eyes full of interest in a good show, “Actually, you should be grateful to Shi Qianling. She still fears you after all. She didn’t treat you like a complete fool and bring her lover to meet you openly!”

“No! I don’t believe it!” Ye Xinglan’s face turned green, his forehead vein throbbing, “This is your conjecture, you have no evidence!”

“Yes, this is just my guess, I don’t have any proof,” Gu Junzhu shrugged and laughed, “Maybe the person being made a fool of is you, not me. Why would I find evidence for you? Even if Mue Ting is Shi Qianling’s secret lover and you two share the same woman, that’s your business, not mine.”
