BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 - 125: Is it considered a blessing in disguise? (8)
“I… I am afraid of being envied!” Gu Qingxin quickly thought of a reason that might appease him.
She should try not to provoke him. If she did provoke him, she’d be the one to suffer…
Even though Beiming Han knew she was just pretending, the anger in his heart inexplicably vanished, and he loosened his grip around her arm…
Seeing that she had successfully fooled him, Gu Qingxin immediately took two steps back…
Her hand was suddenly grasped, halting her retreat. Beiming Han turned to his bodyguard and ordered coldly, “Clear the area immediately! I don’t want unnecessary disturbances.”
“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard saluted and immediately carried out the order.
With just a single command from him, the entire mall was emptied within a few minutes.
Beiming Han led Gu Qingxin into an Apple store, where the manager bowed and scraped to him, a mixture of fear and respect on his face.
“Bring me two of the latest smartphones and a laptop to preview,” Beiming Han said, taking Xiao Ya to the VIP area. Coffee was immediately served to them.
With the manager’s swift actions, in less than a minute, two latest smartphones—one gold and one pink—with a compact white laptop, were presented.
“Master Han, please check these out. They’re all the latest models,” the manager approached, bending over in a servile manner.
“Do you like them?” Beiming Han hinted nonchalantly.
“They’re quite nice,” Gu Qingxin replied, nodding her head slightly even though she didn’t understand why he was asking her.
“Pair the phones with sim cards; wrap up the laptop.”
“Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll handle it immediately.”
The manager hurriedly took the smartphones away. Soon, the phones were equipped with sim cards and returned into Beiming Han’s hands.
Beiming Han took a look and handed all the phones to Gu Qingxin. Holding the two phones, she asked cluelessly, “They’re for me?”
“Mmm.” Beiming Han responded, pulling her up from the sofa and made his way out.
“But 1 only need one phone, why are there two?”
Gu Qingxin indeed needed a phone to keep in touch with the outside world. She decided to accept his offer, planning to repay him for the phones and her mom’s medical bills later.
“I don’t have time to constantly go to phone stores.”
Gu Qingxin,”…”
It seemed like she had lost two phones in just a few days.
After buying the phones, Beiming Han led Gu Qingxin out of the mall and they returned to North Garden.
Perhaps because Gu Qingxin’s arm was injured, Beiming Han didn’t ask her to serve him dinner. Instead, he let her dine at the same table with him.
Before dinner, Beiming Han had housekeeper Luode and the servants leave, leaving only him and Gu Qingxin in the dining room.
With housekeeper Luode not present, Gu Qingxin was no longer afraid of being frowned upon for her lack of manners. Unable to reach the dishes, she simply stood up to serve herself.
Seeing Beiming Han watching her expressionlessly, she bit onto her chopsticks in slight guilt and quickly served him some food as well.
Beiming Han’s gaze shifted from the food in his plate to Gu Qingxin’s chopsticks, which she had just bitten…
A hidden glint flashed in Beiming Han’s eyes. He elegantly picked up the food she’d served him, tasting a new flavor in it which was subtly sweet, a scent that was uniquely hers…
Seeing him not getting angry at her lack of manners, Gu Qingxin ate more freely.
Maybe because she spent the whole day at the hospital with her mother, she was feeling surprisingly better.
After dinner, Gu Qingxin returned to her room. The first thing she did was to take a bath in the restroom. But with her injured arm, even bathing turned into a challenging task
