BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 - 187: This is called beating is affection, scolding is love!
No matter how fast her son grew, he wouldn’t outgrow his newly customized clothes in just a few days.
In fact, the clothes that Fifth Lord of Gu had made for Xiao Shumiao a few days ago were out of affection.
In the ensuing days, his affection for Xiao Shumiao only increased, leading him to suddenly feel that the amount of clothes made was insufficient.
The way Fifth Lord of Gu expressed affection was simple; he wished he could give all the best things in the world to those he cared for.
Therefore, when Ye Xingbei suggested taking Xiao Shumiao shopping for clothes, Fifth Lord of Gu was more than willing to spoil him with new attire.
Ye Xingbei gave him a glance, “Fifth Lord of Gu, the joy of strolling around a shopping mall is something someone as highbrow as you wouldn’t understand! Besides, we’re heading to Beijing tomorrow. If we order custom-made clothes today, will they be ready in time?”
Gu Junzhu retorted, “You come back at me tenfold for every word I say! I mean well, aren’t custom-made clothes more comfortable? Isn’t that right, Xiao Shu?”
Gu Junzhu looked to Xiao Shumiao for support.
Xiao Shumiao giggled, “Dada, Xiao Shu likes going to the mall! Being at the mall with Dada and Mama is so cool! Can you go with Xiao Shu and Mama, Dada?”
Gu Junzhu surrendered, “Okay, we’ll go after this game.”
Xiao Shumiao cheered, then quietly said to Lingyue, “Brother Xiao Yue, I’ve got a secret for you. Men don’t like shopping with women, but that’s not right. So, I asked Daddy to go shopping with Mommy. I’m pretty awesome, huh?”
Ye Xingbei:
Son, when you secretly share with your Brother Xiao Yue, could you not be so loud? Everybody heard you, okay?
Gu Junzhu coughed, whispering in Ye Xingbei’s ear, “Sweetheart, I don’t mind shopping with you at all! While it’s true I don’t like shopping, it’s different with you. I’d give my life to keep you company!”
Others may say they’re whispering, but he’s actually nibbling on her ear!
His thin lips brushed her ear while his teeth lightly nibbled the tip of her ear.
“…” Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but shiver, her face reddening right down to her ears. She shoved him, “Gu Junzhu, get lost!”
The youngster widened his eyes: “Mom, the teacher says it’s not right to swear!”
“…” Tears streamed down Ye Xingbei’s face: “I was wrong…”
Gu Junzhu collapsed onto the sofa in fits of laughter, unable to stand upright.
Ye Xingbei:”…”
Lord Gu, just how old are you this year?
Furious, Ye Xingbei slapped Gu Junzhu. “It’s just going shopping, you act like it’s life-threatening. You don’t have to come!”
She stood up, turning to the two boys: “Finish this game and come up to change. We’re going shopping.”
After saying this, she glared at Gu Junzhu before heading upstairs.
Xiao Shumiao looked sympathetically at Gu Junzhu.
He couldn’t quite understand why his mother was so gentle with him and Brother Xiao Yue, but so harsh towards his dad?
Gu Junzhu, grinning, ruffled his son’s hair and said, “Son, this is what is known as ‘when hitting means affection and when scolding means love!'”
Walking up the stairs, Ye Xingbei stumbled, nearly falling down.
She steadied herself on the handrail, turned to look at Gu Junzhu, clenched her teeth, “Gu, Jun, Zhu!”
“Here!” Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but laugh, getting up and walking towards her, “Come on, Honey. I’ll go with you to change and then we’ll go shopping.”
Since he was busy teasing Ye Xiaobei just now, this round is a sure loss anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether he continues to play or not..
