Chapter 2299: Chapter 2303: Henpecked Husband

Gu Junzhu: "I’m feeling stifled."

Ye Xingbei: "...Go away!"

She slapped Gu Junzhu and went to find Bohe.

At this moment, she was in a great mood.

Although Ye Xingbei sounded uncertain when mentioning that girl, judging by his expression, he was clearly very pleased with her.

Ye Xingli finding someone he likes so smoothly truly made Ye Xingbei happy for him.

Moreover, Ye Xingli seemed to be in a very good state.

From the moment he stepped into the living room, his face was adorned with a smile.

It was a carefree, lively smile that only teenagers usually carry.

It signified that Ye Xingli was genuinely enjoying his current life.

Seeing him happy made Ye Xingbei happy too.

After finding Bohe, she went into the kitchen with her.

Bohe took charge of cooking, while she and two kitchen maids helped to prepare a few snacks.

Since there were many people at their house now, and Bohe’s culinary skills were excellent and popular, they made plenty even though it was just a late-night snack.

When the snacks were almost ready, Ye Xingbei left the kitchen and returned to the living room, where she found an additional person had joined them.

The person was sitting across from Gu Junzhu, engaged in a lively conversation.

Ye Xingbei paused, momentarily stunned.

The person turned around at the sound of footsteps, saw her, and immediately stood up, smiling at her, "Is this Sister-in-law?"

He was very tall, about the same height as Gu Junzhu, with a handsome appearance and a pair of striking phoenix eyes. His smile bore a resemblance to Qiao Zui’s, with a hint of laziness and mischief, looking sly yet leisurely, a bit like a fox, yet also like an idle playboy.

This person was a stranger.

Ye Xingbei did not recognize him.

Gu Junzhu succinctly enlightened her, "This is Wan Chong."

Wan Chong?

Ye Xingbei paused for a moment, suddenly remembering.

Wan Chong was a former colleague of Gu Junzhu who served as his deputy.

Last time in Jiang City, when she was injured by Jiang Zhengxing’s youngest son, the old man solemnly told Gu Junzhu to bring more bodyguards around them.

The old man said that in their family, money was worthless, but people were invaluable, and it was worth it to spend half their fortune on bodyguards.

Gu Junzhu mentioned that he had a very skilled former colleague who got expelled due to a mistake and would come to rely on him for a living.

She remembered that the name Gu Junzhu mentioned was Wan Chong.

Because their family had a bodyguard named Gu Chong, she even remarked at the time that not many people shared the name "Chong."

The fact that Wan Chong and Gu Chong shared the same name suggested that Wan Chong was destined to cross paths with their family.

However, back then, Gu Junzhu just mentioned it casually and never brought it up again.

Lately, many things were happening in their family one after another, and she almost completely forgot about it.

Now, out of the blue, Wan Chong himself showed up.

Several thoughts flashed through her mind in just a few seconds before her face broke into a warm smile, "Welcome."

Wan Chong’s smile deepened, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. In the future, I’ll be relying on Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law for meals." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ye Xingbei smiled with her lips pressed together, "As long as you and your Fifth Brother discuss it properly, I’m just dining off him too."

"Sister-in-law is really giving Fifth Brother face," Wan Chong glanced at Gu Junzhu with a smile, "But Sister-in-law doesn’t need to cover for Fifth Brother too much. We all know that our Fifth Brother is a man under strict management."
