BXBX NOVEL Chapter 385 - 386: Siblings
Dazed, she left the banquet hall with Ye Xingli, Ye Xingli, and Ye Xingbei, and got in the car.
In the car, no one spoke a word.
The atmosphere was as cold as if it was frozen solid.
Ye Xinglan’s face looked worse than it ever had.
Ye Xingli was staring out of the window, lost in thought. There was an indescribable look of bewilderment on his usually lively face, it was unclear what he was thinking about.
Leng Peini was silently shedding tears all along, her infatuated gaze, filled with pleading, was fixed on Ye Xingli without moving away for a second.
Ye Xingbei looked at her and silently sighed.
Perhaps, Leng Peini really loved her Second Brother, and feared losing him?
But love shouldn’t be like this.
Love is not an excuse for malicious intentions.
No matter how much Leng Peini loved Ye Xingli, the mere fact that she replaced her chocolate, wanting to put her in a life-threatening situation, made Leng Peini unworthy of Ye Xingli.
The car sped all the way, only to stop inside the Gu family’s villa.
Leng Peini followed Ye Xingli out of the car, and as she looked at the unfamiliar, majestic and luxurious villa that resembled a palace, she appeared completely bewildered.
A moment later, everyone took their seats in the living room.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei sat side by side at the main seats, Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli sat across them, Leng Peini seated herself at a side seat.
Leng Peini glanced at Gu Junzhu, with only one thought in mind: there was actually a man in this world more handsome than Ye Xingli!
She had always thought that Ye Xingli was the most handsome man in the world.
But at this moment, upon seeing the man sitting next to Ye Xingbei, she realized that indeed, there were always people superior to others and always something better than the best.
The man sitting next to Ye Xingbei was leisurely, with a faint smile on his lips. There was a hint of mockery in the corners of his eyes, making him seem somewhat wicked, carefree, and frivolous.
Nevertheless, the nobility emanating from him and the natural sense of authority, which could only be found in those of a higher status, made him seem as dignified as an emperor, causing a feeling of awe in anyone who saw him, as if they could not help but want to bow down to him.
His facial features were exquisitely perfect, sitting beside the extremely attractive Ye Xingbei, he didn’t lose an ounce of his charm.
The two of them sitting together gave people a feeling of a perfect match, as if they were made for each other.
Leng Peini stared at Gu Junzhu with a daze, thinking how handsome Ye Xingbei’s benefactor was.
As she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Ye Xinglan’s icy voice, “Fifth Brother, Brother Li and I are here as agreed, if you have something to say, please speak.”
Ye Xingli, unlike his usual lively manner, sat upright with seriousness, merely slightly lowering his head, fiddling with his own hands like a child.
With his legs elegantly crossed, a lazy smile on his lips, Gu Junzhu glanced at Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei inhaled deeply, sat up straight, and looked at Ye Xinglan saying, “Brother Lan, I think I should be the one to speak.”
After recognizing Xie Yunlin, and Xie Jinfei as her brothers, Ye Xinglan, and Ye Xingli also accepted them as their brothers.
Accordingly, she was supposed to call Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli “Third Brother” and “Fourth Brother”.
However, she had been calling Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli “Big Brother” and “Second Brother” for six years, suddenly changing the names to “Third Brother” and “Fourth Brother” was too hard, so now she mostly addresses them as “Brother Lan” and “Brother Li”.
If occasionally she made a slip of tongue out of habit, and referred to them as “Big Brother” or “Second Brother” again, nobody really minded.
“Beibei, we are siblings, there’s nothing that can’t be said. If you have something to say, just say it!” Ye Xinglan turned to look at her, his face was still cold and aloof, devoid of any expression, but in his heart, he was already extremely anxious..
