Chapter 1183: Chapter 1187: Drowsy and Someone Brings a Pillow

She threw him a coquettish glance, her eyes flowing with seduction.

Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but pin her down on the seat, his fingers lightly tracing her sleek, elegant eyebrows, “Baby, you look so pretty when you flutter your lashes at me. Come on, give me another one!”

“Get away from me!” Ye Xingbei pounded on his shoulders, “I was scorning you, not flirting. What kind of look is that?”

Junzhu chuckled lowly, “This is the look of seeing you grow more and more beautiful by the minute!”

Ye Xingbei pursed her lips, trying to hold back a smile as she hit his shoulder repeatedly, “You’ve become slicker with words! …I’m curious, do the employees of Gu Group know that their boss is a rogue in private?”

“This isn’t being a rogue,” Junzhu’s eyes twinkled with mischief, “this is…”

“A military ruffian!” Ye Xingbei interrupted, finishing his sentence before he could.

“No wonder they say that couples who live together for a long time tend to look alike,” Junzhu mused, “It must be because the longer a couple is together, the better they understand each other. Expressions, gestures, actions… they can’t help but imitate each other unconsciously, making them look more similar! Look at us, we haven’t been together for very long, and you already understand me so well, even knowing what I want to say next. We are truly like a pair of wings on the same bird; we have a telepathic connection!”

He tapped Ye Xingbei’s cheek, all smiles, “So you see, Ye Xiaobei, you were meant to be my wife!”

Ye Xingbei grabbed his hand that was causing mischief on her face, suddenly remembering something, “Speaking of which, I got a call from Lou Ning tonight. He asked when we could help him get his revenge.”

“In a few days…” Junzhu’s smile faded gradually as he sat up and pulled Ye Xingbei into his embrace, gently stroking her hair, “In a few days, it will be Qiao Yi’s ‘Seventh Seven’…”

He looked down at Ye Xingbei, “Do you know what the ‘Seventh Seven’ is?”

Ye Xingbei nodded, “Of course, a person is considered to pass away on the day of their death, and the very next night is counted as the second day. Every seven days is a ‘Seven.’ According to our traditional culture, it is believed that the deceased typically reincarnate within the ‘Three Sevens,’ and at the latest, they should not exceed ‘Seven Sevens.’ Otherwise, they might turn into wandering ghosts. So, after the ‘Seventh Seven,’ relatives go to the cemetery to send off their loved one for the last time. In the small town where I grew up, the elders took these things very seriously, and each ‘Seven’ was solemnly observed.”

After saying all this, she understood what Gu Junzhu meant and held his hand, asking, “So we’re going to Feng City to observe Qiao Yi’s ‘Seventh Seven’?”

“Yes,” Junzhu sighed silently, “I have to go, and Xiao Qiao must go too. I haven’t been able to think of a reason to tell the old man until now, but now that we’ve come across Lou Ning’s situation, I can bring it up to him.”

He clutched Ye Xingbei’s fingers and exhaled, “I’ll tell the old man that we’re going to Zhou City to help Lou Ning. Since Zhou City is adjacent to Feng City, after we handle Lou Ning’s issue, we’ll go to Feng City for Qiao Yi’s ‘Seventh Seven.’ Later on, I can show some videos about the An Family to the old man while we’re in Zhou City, and he shouldn’t be suspicious.”

“Okay,” Ye Xingbei wrapped her arms around him, gently patting him, “Don’t be sad. I’ve always believed that reincarnation really exists in this world. I believe Qiao Yi has truly been reincarnated. Let’s do more good deeds and pray for Qiao Yi, so she may have a good life in her next incarnation.”

Junzhu shook his head with a smile, “You keep praying for her to reincarnate as a smart person next time. Her reincarnation skills were pretty good in this life, but this life… heh…”
