“Wait a minute!” Ye Xingbei cut into his words and looked at him suspiciously. “How do you know that my son’s pet name is Xiao Shu? Also, how do you know that my second brother sent him to school already?”

Gu Junzhu looked at her disdainfully, “Director Ye, are you saying that only you are allowed to check up on me and I am not allowed to investigate you? Isn’t your attitude of ‘only allowing state officials to set fires, but not allowing commoners to kindle the lights’ kind of bad?”

Ye Xingbei, “…”

Gu Junzhu continued speaking, “Since you’ve investigated me, then you should know what kind of person I, Young Fifth Master Gu, am. Even if we are to pretend to be a couple, you must have sufficient qualifications for me to agree!”

Ye Xingbei raised her brow, “So that means, you are very satisfied with the results of my investigation?”

“Can I not be satisfied?” Gu Junzhu said. “You are ‘Music Sprite’, Star Sect’s money-making tree, the youngest director of an entertainment company, and your personal net worth exceeds 100 million. Along with such an exceptional appearance, it wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that you are a devastatingly beautiful woman. If it weren’t for the lack of feelings between the both of us, there wouldn’t be a problem for such a wonderful young woman to become my genuine wife. But since you’re only pretending to be a wife, I don’t feel like I have anything to nitpick about!”

Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Should I thank Young Fifth Master Gu for his compliment?”

“There’s no need for any thanks; it will be fine to just show your sincerity for our cooperation!” Gu Junzhu said. “Isn’t Xiao Shumiao the focus of your life now? He is a little genius and geniuses are usually intelligent and sensitive. At five years old, it’s almost time for him to understand what is called an illegitimate child or abandoned kid. Do you want to let your little darling to know that he is not yours—that he has no father and is an abandoned child?”

Ye Xingbei went silent.

For now, Xiao Shu still didn’t know that he wasn’t her own son.

He was still young—only five years old—so he still didn’t understand these sort of complicated matters.

But what about when he grew older?

Gu Junzhu wasn’t wrong; in the past, Xiao Shu had always undergone elite education at home when they were abroad.

But now, her foolish second brother had sent Xiao Shu to a proper school where he would experience mingling with others and having a social life.

Plenty of words would be exchanged and when Xiao Shu noticed that apart from him, all the other children had mothers and fathers, he would definitely be heartbroken.

Once Gu Junzhu saw her expression, he knew that she had been swayed and continued to promote his idea. “Anyway, you aren’t thinking of marrying anyone again and I also don’t have anyone whom I want to marry, so wouldn’t it be great for us to just partner up and pass our days peacefully? In the future, we can just tell outsiders that Xiao Shumiao is our biological son. After you gave birth to a child that year, we separated due to a misunderstanding. But we have reconciled today and the whole family is now happily reunited. This way, Xiao Shumiao will have a complete family with his own dad and mom so in future, no one will be able to hurt hurt again because of this matter. He’ll be able to grow up healthy and happy. Wouldn’t this be perfect?”

Ye Xingbei went silent.

She couldn’t deny that she had been won over by his words.

For Ye Xingbei, it wasn’t important whatever happened to her. What was important was every single thing that concerned Xiao Shu.

If it was possible, of course, she hoped that Xiao Shu would be able to grow up happily in a normal family.

If he had a real father, a real mother, and a true family where he belonged to, he would definitely be extremely happy, right?

Imagining the happy and satisfied smile on Xiao Shu’s pretty little face, Ye Xingbei felt that Gu Junzhu’s proposal was filled with an irresistible attraction.

Gu Junzhu urged, “How about it? This suggestion of mine isn’t bad, right? Where are you going to find a real father of a similar status to me? I guarantee that when Xiao Shumiao relies on his father to get ahead in future, he definitely won’t lose to anyone; he can have as much respect as he wants!”

Ye Xingbei, “…”

She didn’t feel it was that honorable to rely on one’s father to win successfully, all right?

Contemplating for a long time, she finally replied, “Is there no problem with having you announce to the public that Xiao Shu is your very own son? We have already received our marriage certificate now and become a legal couple. If you continue to acknowledge that Xiao Shu is your own son, he will possess the rights to the Gu family’s inheritance in future. This is too unfair to you…”
