Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 113 He Never Makes Promises
The man sitting by the bed didn’t speak, nor did he show any sign of response.
He just looked at the distressed girl in her sleep, his face ashen.
"Uncle," Gu Lingqian stepped behind him, once again advising: "The doctor said the poison in her body has been cleared, she’ll be fine."
"You’re also injured, after being busy all night, you should go back and rest for a while."
Xia Yinian was carried back by Gu Beicheng, according to the report from the brothers, she was rescued from the midst of a cliff.
To keep Xia Yinian from injury, Gu Beicheng pressed himself against the cliffside the whole time, so his back is covered in abrasions.
The cliff was extremely steep, just climbing up and down was difficult, not to mention carrying a girl.
When the two of them got back to the top of the cliff, everyone was shocked.
Seventh Young Master’s might had truly exceeded everyone’s imaginations.
However, Gu Beicheng now has injuries all over, refusing medical treatment, only staying guard by Xia Yinian’s side.
This fact couldn’t help but raise suspicions.
Gu Lingqian really didn’t want to doubt their relationship, it’s not that he minded, he just didn’t want to stir up trouble.
"Uncle..."
"I promised to not let the snake bite her," Gu Beicheng suddenly stood up, stepping towards the door and walking out.
Turning around, his tall figure disappeared behind the door.
Gu Lingqian stared at the firmly shut door for a good while before his gaze returned to Xia Yinian’s face.
Her small face was pale, brows tightly knit, and her thin lips would tremble from time to time as she muttered.
This girl was truly terrified.
Uncle had promised not to let the snake bite her, but she really did get bitten.
To Uncle, does that mean he broke his promise to her?
But according to the doctor, the snake venom had been in her for some time, yet Uncle took a very short time to find her.
It seemed that these injuries happened before Uncle arrived to save her.
This does not count as Uncle breaking his promise, but obviously, Uncle is now taking all the blame upon himself.
Gu Lingqian had never seen Uncle treat any girl this well, except for his own mom.
Towards women, he never made promises, yet he promised this girl that he wouldn’t let the snake bite her.
A strange Seventh Young Master, a strange Xia Yinian...
He closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think wildly.
The doctor said that Grandma could live at most another year, all he wanted was for everyone to live in peace this year and make Grandma happy.
After a year, whoever’s relationship is abnormal, it’s none of his business.
The girl on the bed was still muttering hoarsely, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible.
"Uncle, there’s a snake, a snake bit me..."
...
Xia Yinian woke up the next afternoon, feeling completely drained when she came to.
Her throat was burning fiercely, as if being scorched by a ball of fire.
"Water..."
"Here you go, Nian Nian, drink up quickly." Someone helped her sit up and gave her water.
Xia Yinian drank the whole glass of water in one go before she opened her still sore eyes.
"Taotao?" Where is this? How did I get here? Where’s Gu Beicheng?
"Ah! There’s a snake! A snake’s going to bite me!"
"No, there’s not! You’re safe now!" Taotao put down the cup and immediately held her steady.
"Don’t be scared, Nian Nian, you’re safe now, we’re back on the cruise ship, the doctor said you’re going to be fine."
"Cruise ship?" Xia Yinian was still a bit confused and it took a good while before she fully came to her senses.
"Where’s Uncle?" That bastard, he promised that as long as she behaved, the snake wouldn’t bite her.
But now, she really had been bitten by a snake, where was he?
