Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 558: Always in My Heart 8

He should have gone to the Old Master, it wasn’t her who arranged his work.

But the men of the Gu Family really do push themselves.

One after another, they work as if their lives don’t matter, endlessly earning money — for what?

Glancing at the girl on the bed, Gu Lingqian’s lips finally curved into a slight smile.

"Rest well, I’m just in the next ward. If you need anything, press the help button, and I’ll come over. Look, I’ve had a call bell installed especially for you."

Despite the urge to keep looking, the man still turned away.

"I got it, goodnight," Xia Yinian said, watching Gu Lingqian’s retreating figure, pursing her lips.

"Goodnight." Gu Lingqian dimmed the lights in the room to their lowest before leaving.

Watching the door close, Xia Yinian shut her eyes.

She had agreed to give up hope, yet her heart inevitably harbored extra thoughts.

The whole day had passed, she had walked through the gates of death, yet still, that figure was nowhere to be seen.

The physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional torment.

Her eyelids grew heavier, and the girl on the bed slipped into dreams without realizing when.

In the dream, it seemed a man was watching her constantly, standing motionless.

Was it Brother Ling? Because Brother Ling was always so good to her.

But the aura didn’t quite match, it felt more like... Uncle?

How could it be him? She was nearly dead today, and he hadn’t even come to glance at her once.

Xia Yinian didn’t know if she was dreaming, perhaps she was; it all felt so strange yet somewhat comforting.

Her eyelids refused to open, and she no longer attempted to try.

This presence soothed her, dispelling even the nightmares from before.

Looking at the girl on the bed, who occasionally furrowed her brow, Gu Beicheng stood there, his index finger occasionally twitching, otherwise motionless.

Even in dreams, is she fraught with worries?

She knew her Brother Ling was right next door, unaware that he, too, was beside her, just on the other side of the wall.

Finally, his hand reached out uncontrollably.

His long fingers touched her face, observing her transition from the initial nightmares to peaceful sleep, and even spotting a faint smile on her lips.

Unaware what happy thing she dreamed of, his lips unconsciously followed hers, curling slightly.

Bending down, drawing infinitely closer to her, even his breath threatened to entangle with hers.

Just as the gleam in Gu Beicheng’s eyes grew darker, and he was drawn by impulse to kiss her, suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

The ringtone snapped the sinking man back to consciousness!

He straightened his body, retracting the hand from her face.

Not wishing to wake her, Gu Beicheng walked to the window.

"Uncle, we’ve found the person," Gu Feimo’s voice came from the other end. "Paid for the job but won’t reveal who’s behind it."

"Still investigating other matters, how should we deal with these people?"

"Dispose of them," Gu Beicheng snorted coldly. Those who dare to hurt his girl deserve no mercy!

"Understood," Gu Feimo said nothing more before hanging up.

He knew all too well about Uncle’s character; a decision made is never changed, hence, he never tries to persuade.

Nor is there a need to!

Those who dare to harm the Gu Family must be ready to be torn apart at any moment.

Money isn’t so easy to earn, particularly when it’s acquired by harming the Gu Family.
