Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 276: Born of Passion, Bound by Decorum

When she told Old Master Gu that she was the one who got hurt, he looked very satisfied with her response.

This reassured Xia Chuxue.

But now, she feared that her unpleasant appearance might lead Gu Lingqian to make the wrong decision.

Gu Lingqian merely glanced at her lightly, his gaze barely lingering on her face.

"Whether you look good or not, what difference does it make to me? I only care about Nian Nian."

Finally, he hugged Xia Yinian and walked towards Old Master Gu.

"Grandpa, the medicine is mine, I wanted something thrilling, but, Nian Nian was unwilling, she always insisted on waiting until after our marriage..."

"That’s impossible! Aren’t you often spending nights with Xia Yinian?" Guan Xiaoxue immediately pointed out.

Although she was sure that the person that night was Gu Beicheng, it was a fact that Gu Lingqian had spent the night in Xia Yinian’s room.

Now, to score points for Xia Yinian in front of Old Master, he even claimed that Xia Yinian always opposed premarital relations!

Gu Lingqian’s lies were truly daring!

"Yes, I often spend nights in Nian Nian’s room, but, it’s all because I can’t control my urges."

Saying such a thing made the girls blush, even Xia Yinian’s face burned hot.

After all, it’s a public setting, and she remains a maiden; such topics are difficult to discuss calmly.

But Gu Lingqian held her tightly, not allowing her to escape even a bit.

He looked at Old Master earnestly: "Nian Nian is a good girl; everything was my idea, but she has always held her ground."

Old Master didn’t say anything, and others didn’t know what to say either.

Gu Lingqian admitting the medicine was his – did he know about Xia Yinian’s infidelity but still stand by her? How foolish!

But then... why didn’t he say so just now?

Gu Ziqi really wanted to make a fuss, but didn’t know where to start.

If Gu Lingqian insisted the medicine was his, then what’s there to fuss about?

The young couple indulging in something thrilling – is it anyone else’s business?

Moreover, the medicine packet wasn’t opened, and Xia Yinian had never used it.

People from Xia Family also didn’t know what to say; Gu Lingqian actually liked Xia Yinian this much, which was completely beyond everyone’s expectations.

Back then at Xia Family’s place, it didn’t seem like he had any affection for Xia Yinian.

Moreover, that was their first meeting.

Xia Yinian had only been at Gu Family for such a brief time; could it be that their feelings had so quickly intensified?

Everyone was silent, thinking about what to say or do next.

Now, things are difficult, with Gu Lingqian suddenly emerging into the scene.

Xia Yinian gave Gu Lingqian a look, and he hugged her even tighter: "Don’t be afraid, it’s all my fault, I will take all the responsibility."

Xia Yinian really wanted to roll her eyes at him, his lies were so impromptu.

But, with the medicine found in her room, doesn’t he doubt at all that she might be messing around with another man?

It seems like he really trusts her...

"Young Master Ling, are you saying that you and Nian Nian have always acted with feelings but stopped at propriety?"

Xia Chuxue suddenly stood up, looking at Gu Lingqian. Although disappointed by his protective actions towards Xia Yinian, now she could only first ruin Xia Yinian, then slowly try to ingratiate herself with him.

Xia Yinian suddenly felt uneasy, sensing something was off, her alertness immediately heightened.

Gu Lingqian had already said: "Yes."
