Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 829: Chapter 833 Good Girl

“Mm,” Gu Junzhu took the materials and looked them over carefully, “These are indeed good. I’ll have Xiao Chi contact them, and we’ll meet with them.”

He had a responsibility to that child, so despite feeling very confident in Gu Chi’s capabilities, he decided to personally assess the couple.

He took out his phone and notified Gu Chi to arrange a meeting with the couple.

Ye Xingbei was half leaning against him, watching his fingers quickly tapping on the phone screen, sending a message to Gu Chi.

She really enjoyed this way of interacting with Gu Junzhu at the moment.

Dicussing and handling issues together, she felt a sense of soulful alignment.

...

The ambiance at this moment made her feel that, not only was her body half leaning in his embrace, but their hearts were also closely nestled together.

This feeling was very warm and wonderful.

It made her think of the saying, “harmonious as the strings of a lute, peaceful are the years.”

After Gu Junzhu finished sending the message, she wanted to say something else when her phone rang.

Looking at her phone, it was Situ Jinse.

She answered the call and held the phone to her ear; Situ Jinse’s somewhat hoarse voice sounded on the other end, “Aunt, are you busy? I have something I want to discuss with you.”

Ye Xingbei walked towards the window with the phone, “It’s fine, I’m not busy. What is it, Jinse? How is your health?”

“Much better, thank you, Aunt, for the concern,” Situ Jinse politely said, “Aunt, I wanted to discuss something with you about Xiao Mi.”

Situ Jinse’s tone sounded troubled, “Xiao Mi just came to see me. She asked about my recovery, saying she wants to leave and was asking when she could go with me.”

“Leave?” Ye Xingbei exclaimed in surprise, “Where to? Is there something wrong with her?”

Situ Jinse replied worriedly, “She heard from someone that the sniper’s second shot was actually meant for her, but Sister Qiao Yi took the bullet for her and died in her place. She feels very guilty, and I think she feels like she owes Instructor Qiao and can’t face him, so she wants to leave.”

Ye Xingbei: “… Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me this, Jinse. I’ll talk to Xiao Mi. You take good care of yourself. No matter what, I won’t let you leave until you’ve fully recovered.”

“I’m feeling much better, thank you, Aunt. You’ve taken such good care of me during this time,” said Situ Jinse, “I feel that Instructor Qiao and Xiao Mi love each other, and it would be a pity if this incident drove them apart. What do you think, Aunt?”

By the end, Situ Jinse’s tone even contained a hint of nervousness.

Was she afraid that she would also be angry with Mi Sheng?

Ye Xingbei reassured her, “Jinse, don’t worry. Xiao Mi is also a victim, no one blames her. It’s just that she’s too sensitive and overthinks things.”

Situ Jinse felt relieved and thanked Ye Xingbei a few more times before hanging up.

Ye Xingbei hung up the phone and sighed.

Both Situ Jinse and Mi Sheng were very lovely girls, gentle, kind, well-educated, and understanding.

But the gentler and kinder the girl, the more she tended to consider others’ feelings, and compared to those who are self-centered and never consider anyone else, they are much more sensitive.

Like Situ Jinse, after she knew she had caught the flu, she never again ate at the same table with them.

When she visited her, Situ Jinse could hardly get a few words out before urging her to leave, afraid of infecting her.

The Qiao Family was wealthy and had many houses; accommodating a guest was a very easy task. Yet Situ Jinse felt as though she was troubling them. After moving in, she even bought many things for Lingyue and Xiao Shu.
