Defrosting The Cold Young Master

The little guy’s eyes were sparkling with admiration and pride as he talked about his dad.

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but smile and kiss him, "Yes, yes, your dad is the most awesome. Mom knows, Uncle Ran knows, everyone knows."

"Mm!" Xiao Shumiao was satisfied, grabbed his cup, guzzled down some water, put it back on the table, and waved at them: "Dad, Mom, Uncles, Xiao Shu is off to play again!"

He waved his little hand haphazardly and dashed out like a little pony.

"So cute!" Qiao Jieran marveled, "I almost want to steal him away and raise him myself."

"Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law would fight you to the death," Ning Huaijing said, "It’s more practical for you to have one of your own."

"I’d love to have one, but the question is with whom?" Qiao Jieran lamented, "You know what? I’ve already been on three blind dates this month! It’s simply inhumane!"

"What’s three?" Lu Shiqiu chuckled, "While you had three, I’ve been on five!"

"For real?" Qiao Jieran laughed gleefully, "Wow, I thought I was the worst, but there’s actually someone worse off than me!"

"Five times, that’s pretty rough, really inhumane!" Si Nuo draped an arm over Lu Shiqiu’s shoulder, "Why haven’t I heard you guys mention this? Such pitiful affairs shouldn’t be kept a secret. You should have said something sooner, so the brothers could laugh at your expense!"

He had many brothers.

He had older brothers.

His family also pushed for marriage, but with older brothers taking the heat, the storm hadn’t hit him yet.

"Get lost!" Lu Shiqiu pushed him away, "Don’t relish too much in others’ misfortunes, your turn will come sooner or later."

"Isn’t it not my turn yet? Can’t I have a little fun?" Si Nuo moved closer, "Five! So many girls, where did your mom find them? That’s quite something?"

"It’s not just my mom," Lu Shiqiu said, "There’s also my grandma, my aunt, my uncle’s wife, and all those aunts from all over! ...I just wonder, do all women love matchmaking? I’m looking for a girlfriend, and they’re more eager than I am. Whenever they’re idle, they gather and discuss which family has suitable girls, making it seem like I couldn’t get a wife on my own."

"You really can’t get a wife," Ning Huaijing said, "If you could, wouldn’t you have already found one? Wouldn’t need your parents, grandma, and all your many aunts to worry. Look at our Fifth Brother, his son is already five! Living the dream!"

"Get lost!" Lu Shiqiu grabbed an orange from the fruit plate and threw it at him, "You think you can find one? Aren’t you still single?"

Ning Huaijing caught the flying orange, peeled it, and tossed a slice into his mouth, sighing deeply: "If only I could be as lucky as Fifth Brother, not just have a wife, but also a five-year-old son, my parents, and grandparents would be ecstatic."

Sheng Xicheng patted him, "Wash up and go to sleep, you’ll have everything in your dreams."

"Get lost," Ning Huaijing split half an orange and stuffed it into his mouth: "I haven’t even tasted Bohe the chef’s cooking yet, why would I sleep? Wouldn’t I end up snoring while you eat more?"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

These guys are really something...

In public, each one of them acts like a cool, aloof gentleman, either cold and proud, elegant, or noble.

But in private, they’re no better than Brother Li, all a bit... clueless!

Ye Xingbei ignored their antics and nudged Gu Junzhu, explaining her idea about the VIP card in detail.

Qiao Jieran was seated close to Gu Junzhu. Before Gu Junzhu could speak, Qiao Jieran raised his hand: "Sister-in-law, if you really make VIP cards, I’ll take three."

Ye Xingbei: "... What do you need so many for?"
