Chapter 222 - 227: Settling Yesterday’s Accounts
Gu Qingxin struggled to get out of his arms, “Young Master, let me down first! You can punish me however you want! But before that, 1 need to settle yesterday’s score!”
Huangfu Ye was about to run away, when Beiming Han shot him a cold glance, “Stand still!”
Huangfu Ye,
“Sister Qingxin, please be merciful!” Huangfu Ye’s face was a picture of gloom as he squatted down, clutching his ears.
Gu Qingxin busily doodled on Huangfu Ye’s handsome face with her paintbrush. Beiming Han sat behind his desk, letting her cause a ruckus.
“Done!” Gu Qingxin put down the oil paint stick in her hand, clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Huangfu Ye was on the verge of tears. Turning pitifully to his elder brother, Beiming Han had just taken a sip of his coffee and nearly choked, coughing violently behind his hand.
Gu Qingxin had transformed Huangfu Ye’s originally handsome face into the image of an orangutan, looking exceptionally comical.
“Come, let’s take a souvenir photo.” Gu Qingxin stationary in front of Huangfu Ye with her phone raised high. Since Huangfu Ye was too tall, Gu Qingxin glared at him, “Lower your head.”
Huangfu Ye wanted to flip the table and leave. A photograph was to be taken, which would greatly damage his handsome image, but seeing the warning look in his brother’s eyes, he could only squat down in silence, letting the little girl take his picture.
“Put your arm around your head, like this, make a heart shape.” Gu Qingxin instructed the ‘orangutan’ by her side.
Resignedly, Huangfu Ye raised his hand, cracked a grin, and “click”, the photograph was taken. Gu Qingxin checked the photo and, satisfied, walked over to the couch and sat down to admire her work.
“Can I go wash my face now, miss?” Huangfu Ye asked, his face full of gloom.
“Go ahead.” Gu Qingxin waved him off. Finally freed, Huangfu Ye immediately ran into the restroom to wash his face.
Not long after, the man ran back out, and asked, “What is this stuff? Why can’t I get it off!”
“Oh, I forgot to mention, it’s oil paint; It’s meant to be hard to wash off. You can go try again.” Gu Qingxin continued to admire the photograph. He had left her in such a state yesterday and even lit a stick of mood-enhancing incense in the room. Now, she was still in pain, and she imagined all she was doing was making him wash his face a few more times, she thought she was very kind.
Huangfu Ye’s phone began to ring. He answered it, and after a few exchanges, asked Beiming Han, “Brother, Rui Qjng is returning to the country today.
Brother Jingqing is hosting a dinner for him at Sacred Club. He’s asking if we’re going?”
Inside a private room at the Sacred Club.
Bai Ruiqing was Bai Jingqing’s younger brother. After studying abroad for five years, he was finally returning home.
Gu Qingxin was somewhat surprised when she saw Bai Ruiqing as she walked into the room. Bai Ruiqing saw her as well, stood up, and greeted her, “Gu Qingxin, long time no see.”
“Ruiqing, long time no see.” Gu Qingxin smiled at him.
Bai Ruiqing was a smart man. Seeing Beiming Han’s arm around Gu Qingxin, he understood their relationship. He only smiled and greeted Beiming Han, “Brother Han.”
“Mm.” Beiming Han tightened his arm around Gu Qingxin and found a seat to sit down.
“You know each other?” Beiming Han asked Gu Qingxin, who was cuddled up in his arms.
“Bai Ruiqing was our school senior. He was recognized as the school’s most handsome guy and quite popular with the girls.”
Gu Qingxin took another look at Bai Ruiqing. In the past five years, Bai Ruiqing had changed a lot. Compared to his school days, he had matured a lot and seemed to have transformed from a boy into a charming man..
