Chapter 103 - 108: Bear the Consequences of Disobedience (13)
The pressure in the study was a bit low. Beiming Han sat behind his desk, his handsome fingers flying rapidly across the keyboard. He didn’t even bother to greet Huangfu Ye, a clear sign of his extremely bad mood.
Huangfu Ye reported to him about the progress of the last attack incident, but Beiming Han still didn’t respond.
Bai Jingqing thought for a moment and said, “Brother, Miss Gu is still not completely well. Her pneumonia is not particularly serious, but if it’s not thoroughly treated, it could lead to complications.”
Beiming Han’s fingers finally froze on the keyboard. He cast a cold glance at Bai Jingqing, “Did 1 ever say to stop her treatment?”
“Yes, Brother, 1 understand. I’ll arrange for someone to continue delivering fluids to Miss Gu.” Bai Jingqing knew that his older brother wouldn’t be so heartless to Qingxin.
As Gu Qingxin stepped out of the villa, the dazzling sunlight shone on her. She quickly shielded her eyes, her vision darkening momentarily. After awhile, her eyes adjusted to the intense light.
It seemed Beiming Han truly despised her now, to the point of having her take care of a wolf. Wolves eat people. If the General were to go mad and attack her, her life would be in danger.
“Miss Gu, the General is over here. Please follow me,” the butler Luode walked over from behind her, his voice slightly cold.
Gu Qingxin could only obediently follow Luode. The General lived in a small villa next to the main one. The two-story building was specifically built for the General.
This indicated that the General held a very high status in North Garden.
Luode took Gu Qingxin to the front door of the General’s ‘home’ and turned to her, “The General is someone the young master has raised since he was a cub. He values him greatly. Cleaning the wolf’s pen, feeding him, bathing him, and brushing his teeth will all be your responsibilities from now on.”
Gu Qingxin,
Was she supposed to do all this by herself?
Beiming Han had also asked her to take care of him. Wouldn’t that mean she’d be busy from dawn to dusk?
“Butler Luode, what should we do if the General bites someone?” Gu Qingxin asked nervously. It wasn’t that she was particularly cowardly, but anyone would be scared if they were told to take care of a wolf.
“The General won’t bite easily. Don’t worry, Miss Gu. Please go in and clean the wolf’s pen.” Luode opened the door expressionlessly and gestured toward Gu Qingxin.
Gu Qingxin had no choice but to brace herself and go inside. As soon as she entered, the General immediately pounced towards her. Scared, she shrieked and retreated back several steps to the door.
The butler, Luode, let out a cold laugh, closed the door, and left.
The General’s front paws rested on Gu Qingxin’s shoulders. Fortunately, her body was propped against the door. Otherwise, she would not have been able to bear his weight and would have been knocked to the ground.
The General seemed to be very happy to see Gu Qingxin, stretching out his tongue to vigorously lick her face a few times…
Gu Qingxin,
Had she just been licked by a wolf?
Touching her face, she felt a sticky liquid…
“Good boy, get down.” Gu Qingxin cautiously negotiated with the wolf.
The General appeared to understand human speech. He obediently withdrew his paws, seeming very pleased with Gu Qingxin’s visit. He continuously circled in place, wagging his tail.
Gu Qingxin watched his adorable behavior. She hesitated before reaching out to pat his head. It seemed the General wasn’t as ferocious as she thought. When he wasn’t baring his teeth, he was quite cute..
