Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 282: Sleeping Here Again Tonight?

Gu Lingqian’s protectiveness towards Xia Yinian was all witnessed by Xia Liyuan just now.

"Although your grandpa has always hoped that Chuxue would marry into the Gu Family, if you truly like Young Master Ling, then..."

Xia Liyuan took a deep breath before slowly speaking out firmly, "Don’t back down, stand up for yourself for once."

Perhaps the people from the Gu Family were not kind to her, but at least Gu Lingqian was good to her, and that’s what mattered most.

In the Xia Family, she did not receive the affection and care she deserved, so she might as well go to the Gu Family.

He really was useless, couldn’t give her anything, and could only hope that Gu Lingqian could.

"Dad, can I ask you a question?"

Xia Yinian didn’t want to discuss too much with him about Gu Lingqian; after all, her relationship with Gu Lingqian was fake.

At least her dad truly hoped she could be happy right now; she didn’t want to see him disappointed.

Xia Liyuan was a bit surprised: "What is it?"

Xia Yinian was silent for a while before she finally made up her mind: "Why has grandpa always disliked me so much?"

Simply because her mother came from a humble background? Xia Yinian wasn’t convinced.

Even if her mother came from a humble background, she was still the granddaughter of the Xia Family. It was one thing not to support her, but to completely destroy her for the sake of another granddaughter?

In the Gu Family, if someone dared to cheat, who knew if Old Master Gu would fly into a rage and actually kill her?

The shame of a wealthy family must not be spread abroad; such matters were hard to predict.

But grandpa truly had no affection for her; to him, a granddaughter was even less than a stranger.

Xia Liyuan’s face changed slightly, but ultimately, he shook his head and sighed faintly, "Perhaps, it’s a matter of incompatible auras..."

Xia Yinian did not pursue further, but she could clearly feel that her dad was hiding something.

Perhaps it was because of this hidden reason that Old Master Xia showed her absolutely no familial affection.

One could even say that there was no such thing as familial affection for her.

"Forget it, dad, I don’t want to disturb your rest. You should sleep early."

Xia Liyuan seemed to be evading something, he stood up, ready to leave.

Xia Yinian didn’t retain him; after all, even if he knew the reason, he would not tell her.

They were hiding a secret; just that she did not know it, and they did not want her to know.

After watching Xia Liyuan leave, Xia Yinian took her nightgown and went into the bathroom.

When she left the bathroom, it was no surprise to see that someone else was in the room.

She continued toweling her hair and took a seat in front of the chair, looking at him: "Speak your mind. It’s late already."

"I’ll sleep here tonight," Gu Lingqian stated blandly.

"Again here?" Is she expected to sleep on the sofa? How amusing.

"After what happened, how can it be justified if I’m not by your side?" He was completely unaware that she was nearly harmed earlier that night.

Xia Yinian understood; she had been wronged, and as her boyfriend, it indeed made sense for him to accompany her.

But, if he stays here to sleep, she has to sleep on the sofa. So annoying!

"Why don’t you ask about the medicine?" Dropping the towel, she looked at him and asked.

Of course, the medicine wasn’t Gu Lingqian’s; his admission at the time was merely to help her.

But with such an item turning up in her room, didn’t he have the slightest suspicion?

"You can choose to tell me," Gu Lingqian seemed genuinely uninterested.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her: "Are you hurt anywhere tonight? That bastard didn’t actually do anything to you, right?"
