Free Web NovelChapter 1249: Chapter 1249: What the Feng Family Can Give You, I Can Too
"It’s not that this is what I want, I just want to hear you tell the truth. But no matter which situation it really is, I’m not going to ignore you."
Xia Yinian grabbed his hand and placed it over the door to her heart.
"I hope you won’t lie to me, at least not about this. Okay?"
She pressed her lips together, looking all pitiful.
"I did those things. I don’t want you to go back to the Feng Family. Whatever the Feng Family can give you, I can give you too." Gu Beicheng pulled the slightly panicked girl into his arms.
Hearing him say something that sounded like a confession, Xia Yinian was instantly moved.
She knew she was pretty much beyond saving. As long as he said one sentence, she already had no ability to tell true from false anymore.
The room fell quiet for a moment. Xia Yinian said in a low voice, "But I want a home, and I also want to become stronger, so I don’t have to rely on you."
"After I get my identity back, I can take care of myself and at least not drag you down. Old Master should also stop hating me that much, right?"
Since it was already certain that Beicheng was faking his amnesia, Xia Yinian could basically be sure that the matter of Old Master Gu looking for her was something he later found out about too.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately brought Old Master along, passed by her school, and dragged her into the car.
He personally handed her over to Ah Yen, just so Old Master would stop focusing on her, right?
He’d thought about her in so many things, and because this man had really been doing more and more for her, Xia Yinian didn’t dare to be sure of anything anymore.
"The Feng Family isn’t as calm as it looks. I don’t want you to stay there." Gu Beicheng’s voice sank a little.
Her becoming stronger was something he’d always hoped for.
But hearing her say she could not rely on him, his heart felt like something was missing.
She could rely on him—he even hoped she would rely on him forever.
"If I didn’t know, that’d be one thing. But now that I do know, I can’t possibly refuse to go home just because things are a mess there, can I?"
Xia Yinian lifted her gaze to meet Gu Beicheng’s eyes, her expression serious.
"I’m not the old Xia Yinian anymore, and I still have Grandpa and my three brothers. I’ll be fine. You just focus on your own stuff."
"I know you’re very busy, and I know you’re a very remarkable person. You still have a lot to deal with. You shouldn’t be wasting all your time on me."
"Is Nian Nian trying to break up with me?" Gu Beicheng’s expression was already beyond description.
"I..." Xia Yinian paused, not quite sure how to explain.
But she reacted quickly, shot him a sidelong glance, and her voice rang out again.
"So what Seventh Young Master means is that we’ve been dating all this time? How come I feel like I’ve been forced into it from beginning to end?"
This guy actually said she was the one bringing up a breakup? She didn’t even have the courage to admit she was in a relationship with Seventh Young Master—did he really not know that?
He always used force, never said anything nice. And now he had the nerve to say she was breaking up with him.
Had Seventh Young Master always had such a high opinion of himself?
The girl pouted, meeting Gu Beicheng’s gaze without the slightest fear.
"We’ve already done the most intimate things, and done them to perfection, and you’re saying that doesn’t count as dating?" Gu Beicheng’s thick brows drew together slightly.
"What do you mean ’to perfection’? I have no idea what you’re talking about." Xia Yinian shot him a look, struggled a bit, then turned around and showed him her back.
