Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 497: Never Able to See Through Him (2)

Anna’s words lingered in Xia Yinian’s mind, even as she boarded the helicopter, she was still pondering over them.

Beside her, Gu Beicheng closed his eyes and leaned against the back of his seat. She didn’t know if he had already fallen asleep.

He really stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window last night, standing the whole night through.

During that time, she woke up several times; her sleep was always poor. Each time she awoke, she saw his straight back facing away from her.

She thought that looking at his back would keep her awake, but for some reason, she felt unusually tired lately.

As she watched, she fell asleep again.

But in her dreams, it was all about him, so she would soon wake up again after falling asleep.

So, she slept and then awoke, awoke and then slept, but no matter what time it was, the scene was always the same.

He stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands buried in his pockets, looking out of the window, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Now, he was sleeping beside her, so near, yet that indifference in his eyes made her feel so distant.

Looking at Gu Beicheng’s stern profile, Anna’s words came back to her.

It was just out of fear that he acted that way.

When people are scared, perhaps they do things that even they regret afterwards.

If she doesn’t forgive him, does it mean she’s decided to miss him forever?

Life is short, merely a few decades, and there may be countless misunderstandings in the future. Clinging to non-forgiveness, how could one go on with life?

Do you know what fear means? Fear, at least, means he really cares, he really loves you...

...Love or not, she didn’t know. She only knew that last night Gu Beicheng stood there all night, and now whenever she thinks about it, her heart aches.

With much effort, Xia Yinian diverted her gaze, also wanting to lean against the seat and sleep like Gu Beicheng.

But unexpectedly, the helicopter suddenly shook, and Xia Yinian screamed in fright, instinctively wanting to throw herself onto Gu Beicheng.

No need for her to leap over, Gu Beicheng’s hand had already reached out, cradling her head over, letting her rest in his embrace.

"Don’t be afraid. We are over the desert; it’s quite normal for there to be a bit of turbulence. It’ll pass soon."

His voice was very deep, yet it was the most comforting.

At this moment, Xia Yinian really felt spineless, resting in Gu Beicheng’s arms, she didn’t wish to get up again.

The plane kept bumping, but because of his protection, she felt especially reassured.

This embrace, as always, so safe, so comforting...

...

They returned to the Gu Family home, where Gu Lingqian personally came out to greet them.

Seeing Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng return together, Gu Lingqian didn’t say anything, only looked at Gu Beicheng and called out lightly: "Uncle."

Xia Yinian was very calm, with no panic or fear, no pain, at least, a reassurance to others.

"Come to Feng Residence at eight tonight." Dropping these words, Gu Beicheng walked towards Feng Residence without giving them another glance.

Xia Yinian watched his figure disappear into the distance, the lonely silhouette always bit by bit tugging at her heartstrings.

"Tired? Let’s go downstairs." Gu Lingqian attempted to take her hand. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But Xia Yinian instinctively avoided him as soon as she touched his hand.

Something crossed his eyes but ultimately, he suppressed all emotions and said to her, "Regardless, go back and rest first."

This time not allowing her to refuse, Gu Lingqian took her hand and led her back to the main house’s hall.

He didn’t mention a word about her and Uncle’s sudden departure for travel or their sudden return.
