BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - 119: Is it considered a blessing in disguise? (2)
Aunt Zhou, carrying some dishes, left and went to the study to report to Beiming Han, “Young Master, the young lady had a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, and also ate two Shui Jing buns.”
“I know.” Beiming Han responded casually, continuing the work at hand.
Aunt Zhou retired and Beiming Han slowly leaned back in his chair, picking up a cigarette box on the table, opened it and lit a cigarette…
The smoke blurred his handsome face, concealing the emotions in his dark eyes…
At night, Gu Qingxin felt as if she were once again being held in a familiar embrace. Possibly because of the nighttime medication, her eyelids felt heavy; she couldn’t open her eyes at all.
The next day when Gu Qingxin woke up, she was the only one in the room. She even began to doubt whether her feeling of being held last night was just her imagination.
Thinking that she could soon visit her mother in the hospital, Gu Qingxin got out of bed without waiting, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and picked out a set of clothes from the wardrobe to change into.
Since she was going to see her mother at the hospital, she chose to wear an ordinary-looking dress and tied her hair into a ponytail.
As she turned her head, she saw the pink watch she had lost before quietly resting in the display cabinet. She walked over, picked it up, and looked at it–indeed, it was that same watch.s
To think, the watch had actually been found and returned.
She remembered that this watch had been taken from her by the people at the entertainment city. She guessed someone had seen its value and taken it from her.
Could it be, the disappearance of those villains from the entertainment city was related to Beiming Han? This thought made Gu Qingxin’s hand tremble uncontrollably.
“Miss, why are you awake so early?” Aunt Zhou pushed the door open somewhat surprised. Quickly putting the watch aside, Gu Qingxin replied, “I’m going to see my mother at the hospital.”
“Even so, no need to rush. I’ll bring breakfast, make sure you eat and take your medicine before you go. Doctor Bai did say, though you don’t need to be on a drip anymore, you must take your medication on time.”
“Okay, I understand.” Gu Qingxin brushed aside the thoughts that shouldn’t be in her head.
Thinking that she could see her mother soon, Gu Qingxin currently felt light and the sweet smile hung on her pretty little face.
After breakfast, Gu Qingxin and Aunt Zhou were happily chatting as they stepped out of the bedroom. Beiming Han just happened to come out of the study at the same time and the moment she saw him, the smile on Gu Qingxin’s face instantly disappeared. She hung her head low and said a formal hello.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Aunt Zhou quickly said, “I will take the dishes back to the kitchen.”
With her head hung low, Gu Qingxin bit her lower lip hard and continued in an indifferent tone, “Sir, if there are no other instructions, I’ll take my leave.”
Her chin was held up, Beiming Han forced Qingxin to look up at him and, frowning, asked, “Are you mad at me?”
“I dare not… I was bought by you, sir. It’s up to you how you want to deal with me.”
In Gu Qingxin’s eyes, which were always clear as crystal, there now seemed to be a thin layer of mist, making her seem distant and aloof.
“Gu Qingxin! You are something!” Beiming Han almost gritted his teeth as he spat out those two sentences, his grip unconsciously tightening!
A wave of pain came from her jaw, yet the little girl’s expression remained unchanged, “Sir, if there is nothing else….”
