Defrosting The Cold Young Master
Chapter 998 - 998 1002 Breakup Fee

Chapter 998: Chapter 1002 Breakup Fee Chapter 998: Chapter 1002 Breakup Fee “Okay,” Gu Junzhu kissed her back, “then I’ll send someone to Feng City and Blue Moon Bar tomorrow to see if that young man is interested in signing with us.”

Ye Xingbei nodded, smiling sweetly, “Sure!”

She cupped Gu Junzhu’s face, “Mr. Gu, you’re so useful, like an all-purpose tool. With you around, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “Useful? …That doesn’t sound like much of a compliment!”

Ye Xingbei chuckled, “I’m praising you, definitely praising you!”

Gu Junzhu pinched her cheek, “Considering your beautiful appearance, kind heart, and pleasant voice, I’ll let you off.”

Ye Xingbei laughed and snuggled into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist, “Superficial.”

Gu Junzhu ruffled her hair, “Anybody with a beauty like yours should hope everyone in the world is as superficial as me. Then you could do whatever you want without anyone ever faulting you.”

Ye Xingbei scoffed, her fingertips sliding down his cheek, “Is that what you’re really hoping for?”

Speaking of appearances, the Fifth Lord of Gu definitely didn’t lose to anyone!

Gu Junzhu chuckled and bit her finger, “Darling, physical actions come with responsibilities.”

Ye Xingbei, “…Let’s sleep, sleep!”

She burrowed into Gu Junzhu’s arms, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes, staying still.

Gu Junzhu smiled indulgently, patted her back, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

At the same time.

In the Li family’s villa.

In the living room, Xie Motong looked mournfully at the check in front of her.

The amount was not large, just five hundred thousand.

Just five hundred thousand, not even enough to cover her past clothing expenses.

The severance pay from the Seventh Young Master of Li family was only five hundred thousand.

Who knows whether people would laugh at Li Qi for being stingy or at her for being cheap once this got out.

Li Qi sat on the sofa, looking down at Xie Motong kneeling at his feet, his expression lazy, “Take your things and your severance pay, and you can leave.”

“Why?” Xie Motong looked at him pitifully, tears shimmering in her eyes, “Weren’t we happy together? Why break up?”

“Because I’m bored,” Li Qi said, “I want something fresh. The old must go before the new can come—that’s a simple concept, isn’t it?”

“No, no,” Xie Motong shook her head, “it’s because of Ye Xingbei, isn’t it? Because you found out that the person who saved you back then was Ye Xingbei, that’s why you want to break up with me.”

“Oh?” Li Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest, “Then tell me, why should I break up with you just because I found out that the person who saved me back then was Ye Xingbei?”

Because, you think I instigated my sister to kill Ye Xingbei.

But that’s not true.

Initially, she wanted Xie Yumo to kill Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei.

She wanted Xie Yumo to kill Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei so that she could become the heir of the Xie family and inherit the family business.

It was the foolish Xie Yumo who acted on her own, didn’t touch Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, but instead pushed Ye Xingbei down the stairs.

All her disasters began the day Xie Yumo pushed Ye Xingbei down the stairs.

But these, she couldn’t tell Li Qi.

Wanting to kill her own cousins was no less heinous than wanting to kill her cousin.

Spreading out the past before Li Qi would only expose her former cruelty.

Tears slid down her cheeks as she looked at Li Qi with pitiful eyes, “We have been together for a while now, we’ve got along well, haven’t we? Don’t you have any feelings for me at all?”
