Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Were You Waiting for Me?
"Being with you, isn’t she in a lot of danger?" Feng Yan said mildly.
"At least up to now, I haven’t let her suffer any serious harm." Gu Beicheng raised his cigar and took a drag.
Feng Yan looked at the man in front of him. He couldn’t deny that for Nian Nian, it really wasn’t easy for him to have done this much.
"So, what you mean is, your feelings for Nian Nian are real?" Feng Yan’s attitude suddenly shifted a little.
"Feelings?" Gu Beicheng glanced at him, his brows knitting slightly.
"Or is she just a bed partner?" Feng Yan gave a light cough.
"Of course not." Gu Beicheng refuted immediately.
"Grandpa will never agree to the two of you being together, unless your identity can be simple enough." Feng Yan looked at the man opposite him.
Gu Beicheng took another pull of his cigar and didn’t speak again.
By the time Xia Yinian went over, the Old Master had already fallen asleep again.
She stayed in the room with Grandpa for more than twenty minutes. It wasn’t until Feng Yan came to get her that she left.
Xia Yinian kind of wanted to ask whether Seventh Young Master was still in her room, but since Feng Yan didn’t say anything, she didn’t ask either.
She didn’t know if that guy was still mad. With a nervous heart, the girl went back to her room.
She searched back and forth, inside and out, but in the end Xia Yinian still didn’t find the figure she wanted to see.
A little disappointed, she went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and washed her face.
Lying on the bed again, Xia Yinian suddenly felt like this bed was really a bit too big.
Only now did she realize how melodramatic she’d been just now.
She clearly missed someone so much, yet kept stubbornly rejecting him over there.
She really wanted to talk to him, even if it was just chatting, that would be nice.
Unfortunately, he’d left. When would they meet again next time?
Xia Yinian got up to turn off the main lights in the room, then lay down again.
So much had happened today that she didn’t even know if she’d be able to fall asleep.
Thinking about all the countless possibilities in the future, Xia Yinian’s mood just wouldn’t calm down.
Between Grandpa and Beicheng, could she really find a balance?
Xia Yinian believed that as long as things didn’t endanger her health, Grandpa probably wouldn’t oppose her being with Beicheng.
It’s just that Seventh Young Master’s identity really was complicated. Maybe he, too, had many things he was helpless about.
"Were you waiting for me?" Suddenly, a tall figure appeared by the bed.
When Xia Yinian turned her head, she almost screamed in fright.
Fortunately, she was braver now. As for Seventh Young Master’s behavior, she was able to adapt quickly.
"Why haven’t you left yet?" the person lying on the bed asked in a low voice.
"I missed you." Gu Beicheng lifted the covers and lay down beside the girl.
"I’ll help you take off your clothes first." Xia Yinian sat up.
Meeting the man’s suddenly different gaze, she blinked and explained, "I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just, it’s uncomfortable to sleep in a suit, right?"
"So I was going to say I’d help you take off your jacket. Mm, just...your jacket."
"Okay." Gu Beicheng got up and stood by the bed.
Before Xia Yinian could make a move, he had already undone the belt of his suit pants. With a sharp swish, he pulled the belt off his body.
The girl kneeling on the bed immediately waved her hands.
"I really didn’t mean it like that, don’t...misunderstand."
"Come over and serve me." Gu Beicheng tossed the belt casually; no one knew which corner he threw it into.
He turned around and lowered his eyes to look at the girl kneeling on the bed. The handsome lines of his face were tinged with a lonely, desolate kind of beauty.
