Defrosting The Cold Young Master
Chapter 989 - 989 993 A Heart Cold as Ice

Chapter 989: Chapter 993 A Heart Cold as Ice Chapter 989: Chapter 993 A Heart Cold as Ice That night, he laughed more than he had in several months combined.

Indeed, only when with the right person can everything feel just right.

The sky was blue.

The flowers were fragrant.

The food was also delicious.

Having spent half a day and a whole night with the two little ones, the last bit of uncertainty about moving out of Xiang’s ancestral mansion due to his deep attachment had been completely dispelled.

A place only becomes a home when there are family members living in it.

A place without family can only be called a house.

As long as he lived with his beloved family, even a thatched cottage could give the satisfaction of a grand mansion.

From now on, wherever his grandson was, that was where he would be.

He had made up his mind about the move.

With a beaming smile, he invited Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei to sit down, “It’s still early, sit for a while longer, I’m in the middle of a chess game with Xiao Shumiao. You can leave after we finish this game.”

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei naturally had no objections and took their places on either side of Xiao Shumiao to watch the game.

The Gu Family compound.

After dinner, Mi Sheng didn’t go for a walk with Qiao Zui as usual but instead returned to her room early.

Tomorrow was the day Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei would go on behalf of Qiao Zui to propose at her house, and she felt restless and uneasy.

The fact that Qiao Zui’s family was going to formally propose had not yet been mentioned to her own family.

By all accounts, upon returning to Beijing, she should not have stayed at Qiao Zui’s house but rather have gone home.

Situ Jinse did not heed Ye Xingbei’s pleas to stay and left the Gu Family the day after arriving back in Beijing.

But she did not want to leave.

She didn’t want to leave Qiao Zui, and even less to return to that so-called home of hers.

She felt a deep resistance, even disgust, towards that home.

The thought of that place made her feel uncomfortable all over, wishing she could avoid it for a lifetime.

But, that was impossible.

No matter how distant her parents were, they had raised her to adulthood after all.

There was also her stepfather, who, though somewhat cold towards her, had never deprived her of anything, it was just that he didn’t dote on her as much as he did on her younger siblings.

Before she knew that Mi Junyuan was not her biological father, she resented Mi Junyuan for favoring her younger siblings over her, treating her with indifference.

But after learning that Mi Junyuan wasn’t her real father, she lost all resentment.

For a stepfather, Mi Junyuan had done very well.

He had never beaten or scolded her.

She was treated no differently than her siblings regarding food, clothing, or spending money, and on holidays and birthdays, he would give her a generous amount of money.

Apart from love, Mi Junyuan hadn’t lacked in giving her anything and had done better than most stepfathers in the world.

Yes.

That’s how it was.

Apart from love, her parents had given her everything, raised her in luxury, paid for her to attend the best universities — she never lacked what others had.

She should have been content.

She had no right to feel resentful.

And there was no reason to sever ties with that home.

Yet, she still didn’t want to go back to that place and didn’t want to tell her parents about Qiao Zui’s relatives coming to propose.

She was avoiding it like an ostrich.

Now, the time had come to face it.

Tomorrow, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei would be accompanying Qiao Zui to her house, and she couldn’t keep avoiding it any longer.

Sitting on the edge of her bed, she let out a sigh of relief, rubbed her face, and dialed her mother’s phone number.

The call connected, and she said, “Mom.”

“Shengsheng?” Siqi asked, “What’s the matter, calling so late?”

Clutching the phone, Mi Sheng’s heart felt icy cold.
