Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 451: Then Devote Yourself to Me (Part 7)

"I didn’t go anywhere, I was just looking around," Xia Yinian’s expression was also very indifferent.

But when she heard that Gu Lingqian was frantically searching for her, she still felt a bit guilty.

At that time, she was being...by Gu Beicheng.

She didn’t look at the man sitting across from her, didn’t want to, and was unwilling to. What was he doing to her at that time?

While Gu Lingqian was desperately searching for her, this man was bullying her!

Yu Wanqing wanted to say something else, but Gu Lingqian preempted her: "She rested in the room in the afternoon, it’s just that when I went to look for her, I didn’t notice she was sleeping in the bed, and later..."

"Really? I thought that girl ran off to some corner to get cozy with a man."

Gu Beicheng took the goblet brought by the waiter, sipped it gently, and his sharp gaze fell on Xia Yinian’s face.

Xia Yinian’s face turned pale in an instant.

Before she could say anything, Gu Lingqian spoke up: "Nian Nian is shy, Uncle, stop making that kind of joke."

He pulled Xia Yinian over and held her hand: "We were just watching the sunset on the cliff, and we kind of lost track of time. If Nian Nian isn’t willing, I wouldn’t force her to do anything."

Was that provocation?

Xia Yinian watched him, her eyes showing some complexity.

If possible, she didn’t wish for Gu Lingqian to clash with Gu Beicheng.

While watching the sunset that evening, he let slip some information. Since childhood, he, his uncle, and Gu Feimo had a particularly good relationship.

They had always been close until her arrival at the Gu Family. Gradually, because of her, slight conflicts arose.

Gu Lingqian knew he made her feel uneasy. In truth, Nian Nian was really good; she could endure hardships but did not want the Gu Family to be plunged into any danger because of her.

But Gu Lingqian was a bit afraid, afraid that her patience might reach its limit.

Waiting for Grandma... There are some things he shouldn’t think about, but he can’t help but think.

When Grandma really is gone, Nian Nian... would leave, right?

If she continues to be wronged.

He let out a soft sigh and said gently, "It’s getting late; let’s eat something first."

The dishes were already served, and Gu Lingqian placed some food into her bowl: "Eat."

...

That night, the weather seemed a bit off.

The strong winds and rough seas are sometimes predictable, yet at times they are immeasurable.

It was fine during the day, but unexpectedly, the wind picked up at night.

After dinner and a bath, Gu Lingqian stayed with Xia Yinian in the room.

Xia Yinian continued to read medical books, and he worked. The two of them got along quite harmoniously, and sometimes there was a warm feeling.

However, it seemed to get noisy outside, as if many people were walking about.

On this floor, ordinary people should not come up; it should be quiet.

"I’m going to see what’s going on." Gu Lingqian closed his laptop and turned to look at Xia Yinian.

Xia Yinian, sitting on the bed and reading a book, nodded.

As soon as Gu Lingqian stepped out of the door, he saw crew members walking down the hallway, frowning he asked, "What’s going on? Why so loud?"

"Sorry for disturbing Young Master Ling," the crew member immediately bowed to him, with an indescribably respectful attitude.

"What exactly is happening?"

"The Lady Yu is missing; everyone is looking for her now," the crew member replied promptly.

"Lady Yu?" Gu Lingqian’s brows furrowed even tighter, "Yu Wanqing?"

"Yes, that Lady Yu. She went swimming in the sea at night, and afterward, no one has seen her."
