Chapter 378: Chapter 379 Ye Xingbei, Hand Over the Invitation!
Ye Xingbei gently stroked the smooth gemstone beads on her wrist, her heart filled with warmth.
The feeling of being cherished and cared for was truly delightful.
Moved by the moment, she couldn’t resist leaning over and kissing Gu Junzhu’s cheek, “… Thank you!”
After the kiss, she felt shy, snatched a throw pillow, and buried her face in it.
Gu Junzhu flicked away the pillow and pinned her underneath him, nipped her lips lightly and said, “darling, since you’re so moved, why not give yourself to me!”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
This guy, he’s the best at killing the mood!
Even as she grumbled to herself, she didn’t stop Gu Junzhu’s advances.
She closed her eyes, and her hand gently rested on Gu Junzhu’s lower back.
Gu Junzhu’s body stiffened, and he passionately kissed her lips.
Ye Xingbei closed her eyes and let him do as he wished.

The day after, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei together dropped Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue off at school after breakfast.
Watching the two little ones waving goodbye reluctantly before hand-in-hand, they ran into the school. Only then did the two get into their separate cars and leave.
Gu Junzhu then headed to the Gu Group’s branch office in Jiang City.
Ye Xingbei went to the Star Palace.
She knocked and entered Ye Xingli’s office to find him frantically making a phone call.
Upon seeing Ye Xingbei come in, Ye Xingli’s eyes brightened as if seeing a savior.
He ran to Ye Xingbei, grabbed her arms, “Beibei, a buddy of mine is in trouble, I have to rush to his aid. I’m leaving Star Palace to you! There’s a charity event tonight, you must attend on my behalf, the invitation is on my desk. I’ve left Zhen Qi to help you, he’ll fill you in on the details! Love you sis, I gotta run now…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he dashed away, not waiting for Ye Xingbei’s response.
By the time the last words of “I gotta run” echoed in the room, he was already in the hallway.
Ye Xingbei: “…”
Her Second Brother was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins!
“Ye Xingli, stop right there!” Leng Peini, in a fit of rage, chased after him!
They had agreed that both of them would attend the charity event that night. How come when Ye Xingbei showed up, the invitation was now hers?
Leng Peini was already slower than Ye Xingli, and her high heels didn’t help. By the time she reached the door, Ye Xingli was already out of sight.
Furious, Leng Peini stormed back to the office.
Ye Xingbei had already taken Ye Xingli’s seat at his desk, glanced at the invitation before tucking it into a drawer.
The charity event was hosted by a respected lady, Madam Gao, in Jiang City.
Madam Gao was a renowned calligrapher and painter from a scholarly family, and her husband was a well-known archaeologist from a distinguished family.
Being a warm-hearted philanthropist, Madam Gao hosted a grand charity auction dinner annually. The invitees were all big names in the world of art and calligraphy.
Those from the entertainment industry were barely connected to the world of art and would never be on its level. The number of entertainers invited to Madam Gao’s charity dinner never exceeded ten.
Countless people from the entertainment industry considered receiving an invitation to Madam Gao’s annual charity auction dinner a great honour.
This charity auction dinner was an event Star Palace had to attend.
Or rather, an event she had to attend!
Leng Peini stormed back into the office. She looked at the office desk and the invitation was gone.
She angrily banged her hands on the desk, and glaringly demanded, “Ye Xingbei, hand over the invitation!”
