Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 521: Chapter 522 Thank You, Uncle

“Have I never praised?” Fifth Lord of Gu raised his eyebrows: “My Xiao Shumiao is the smartest, cutest, most sensible, number one in the universe, and unique.”

Ye Xingbei: “… That’s too over the top, it doesn’t sound sincere at all.”

Gu Junzhu smiled, moved closer to her, wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, looking deeply into her eyes, “Ye Xiaobei, you are the prettiest girl I have ever seen.”

His voice was gentle, his eyes shone brightly as though sprinkled with stars, utterly captivating.

Ye Xingbei blushed and pushed him away, “Go away, there are so many people around!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled lowly, let go of her waist, crossed his arms, allowing the sunlight to fall on his peerlessly handsome face–a sight so mesmerizing that it could sweep people off their feet.

Ye Xingbei’s heart pounded wildly.

She looked towards the entrance of the basement, telling herself that her heart was racing not because she was taken in by Gu Junzhu’s good looks. She was not so superficial as to be swayed by Gu Junzhu’s attractiveness!

She must be frightened by Shi Qianying’s scream!

Shi Qianying’s screams grew sharper and more terrifying by the minute. God only knows what method Yu Nuo was using against her.

Unlike Xueno who is robust and determined, Yu Nuo is a very gentle and meticulous person.

Given what Shi Qianying did to drive such a gentle guy to this state, it was clear to see just how evil she was.

Fortunately, there’s justice in the world. What goes around comes around.

Now, Shi Qianying is tasting the fruits of her deeds.

The horrific screams of Shi Qianying should have chilled one to the bone. Yet Ye Xingbei found it particularly interesting and satisfying.

She concluded that under her pretty face, there must be a little demon dwelling.

Right now, this little demon wanted nothing more than to personally tear Shi Qianying apart and felt no compassion for Shi Qianying’s suffering.

A dozen minutes later, the horrific screams of Shi Qianying gradually subsided.

After several dozen minutes more, there was no longer any sound coming from the basement.

A moment later, footsteps sounded, and Yu Nuo appeared at the entrance of the basement.

He walked straight to Ye Xingbei. His eyes were still red, but there were no more tears. He stopped shaking, and each step he took was steady.

When he got in front of Ye Xingbei, he knelt down, and kowtowed to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei: “Thank you, Young Lord, thank you, Miss!”

Although the term “Young Lord” was a bit strange, it gave Gu Junzhu a peculiar feeling in his heart.

Seeing as this feeling wasn’t bad at all, Gu Junzhu gave him a smile, conveying that Yu Nuo was deserving of his guidance.

He loved this feeling of backing Ye Xiaobei up too much!

Especially when the person he was lending his support to was also someone he could stand firmly by himself. He wouldn’t stoke the fire on one side while throwing water on the other.

Indeed, he was right. Ye Xiaobei’s two bodyguards were pretty good.

Ye Xingbei quickly bent down to help Yu Nuo up, looking him over: “Yu Nuo, do you feel better inside? I read in books that once you’ve defeated the one who bullied you, you won’t have any psychological trauma anymore. Now that you’ve beaten Shi Qianying, do you feel better?”

Yu Nuo glanced at the hand Ye Xingbei had on his arm.

Ever since he was tormented by Shi Qianying, he would feel defensive and want to escape whenever someone approached him, fearing they would torment him like she did.

But now, while he still felt the urge to push Ye Xingbei away, he could control that urge.
