Free Web NovelChapter 1252: Chapter 1252: Third Brother, Someone Wants to Bully Me
"It’s so late—what business do you have with my wife?" Gu Beicheng looked at Feng Yan, his gaze anything but friendly.
Feng Yan finally figured out where this guy’s hostility over this period was coming from, so there was no need to ask more; the whole Xia Chuxue matter had been his doing.
"Nian Nian and I will be getting engaged soon. From now on, I’ll be the one protecting her." Feng Yan stretched out his long arm and took Xia Yinian’s hand.
Gu Beicheng refused to fall behind; Xia Yinian’s other hand landed in his palm almost at the same time.
"Let go." Gu Beicheng’s warning aura instantly blanketed the surroundings.
"And what if I say no?" Feng Yan raised his brows, not giving an inch.
Xia Yinian glanced at the two of them, then tightened her grip on their hands and dragged these two abnormally tall guys into the room.
Once she let go of them, she immediately turned around and closed the door.
"Can you two stop it already, okay?" Xia Yinian turned back, swept a look over the two in front of her, and finally let her gaze land on Feng Yan.
"Ah Yen, did Grandpa really ask for me?"
"Yeah." Feng Yan nodded.
"Alright then, you two take your time talking. I’ll go see Grandpa first." Xia Yinian inclined her head. "Also, I understand what you and Grandpa mean."
"But there are some things I’d still rather handle myself."
Xia Yinian didn’t see that, as she said this, the Seventh Young Master lifted his brows and shot Feng Yan a provocative look.
She hadn’t expected that, before she even finished speaking—
"Don’t worry, if I have to choose between a bedmate and Grandpa, I’ll pick Grandpa without the slightest hesitation."
Xia Yinian cut Gu Beicheng a look, and her expression turned serious as well.
"Ah Yen has absolutely no such feelings for me. I don’t want your relationship to change because of me; otherwise I won’t rule out the possibility of changing to someone else."
Gu Beicheng, who had been quite pleased with himself just now, was fuming at Xia Yinian’s last sentence.
"You wouldn’t dare." He rarely knitted his brows.
"Third Brother, someone’s trying to bully me." Xia Yinian immediately hid behind Feng Yan.
"It’s fine, I’m here." Feng Yan pressed his lips together, taking up a protective stance.
"Mm." Xia Yinian nodded. "Then I’ll go see Grandpa first."
"Go on." Feng Yan looked back over his shoulder at the man behind him with a faint smile.
Xia Yinian poked her head out and shot Gu Beicheng a sidelong glare, full of the attitude of "I’ve got backing too."
As she was leaving, she even remembered to pull a face at the Seventh Young Master.
The door was gently pulled open and then gently closed again.
Only the two men were left in the room, and one of them was wearing nothing but a bath towel.
After giving Feng Yan a once-over, Gu Beicheng turned and walked a few steps, then sat down on the sofa.
"You’re planning to make Nian Nian’s identity public?"
"That’s only a matter of time." Feng Yan’s low voice carried over as he sat on the sofa opposite. "What are you getting at? Spell it out?"
Gu Beicheng looked at him, thick brows lifting. "Getting at what?"
"How do you explain the Xia Chuxue incident? Want to try explaining that?" Feng Yan looked at Gu Beicheng, his expression flat.
"Whatever you can give Nian Nian, I can give too."
With a "pop," Gu Beicheng somehow produced a cigar from somewhere and lit it.
"So why bother bringing her back?"
"That’s your excuse?" Feng Yan’s eyes narrowed halfway.
In that moment, he seemed even less able to figure this man out.
"Your dad’s death wasn’t an accident. I don’t want Nian Nian coming back to live in a pit of hell." Gu Beicheng added.
