Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 58: Timid

Xia Yinian’s legs went weak, and she almost collapsed into her chair.

Gu Beicheng was smiling, but she always felt that the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of sarcasm, and even a strong sense of danger.

"What’s wrong? little girl, just a tease from Seventh, and your face turns this red?"

Mr. Gu Haofeng saw that Gu Beicheng seemed quite pleased with Xia Yinian, and his own heart was also happy.

Although he was a bit dissatisfied with the status of this Xia Family’s Lady Sun, he heard that she wasn’t favored at the Xia Family.

However, it was rare for Seventh to be satisfied with her. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

A word from Seventh, and not even a hundred words from Old Master Xia could compare, what more could he be dissatisfied about?

In the future, it’s the Old Master and Old Madam they’d need to please; relationships on the Xia Family’s side could be discarded if necessary.

Xia Yinian nodded uneasily and then carefully took a seat.

"Uncle, don’t mind it. Nian Nian has a thin skin and hasn’t seen much of the world; she’s gotten scared."

Gu Lingqian glanced at Xia Yinian with a faint smile, instructed a servant to pour her a cup of hot tea, "Don’t be scared, uncle isn’t a bad guy, he won’t eat you."

"..." Xia Yinian really wanted to protest.

Who says Gu Beicheng isn’t a bad guy, she was almost eaten by him!

Gu Beicheng’s gaze also landed on Xia Yinian’s face, seemingly quite fond of this little girl.

"That depends on whether this little girl behaves or not, if she doesn’t, I’ll really eat you."

"Uncle, stop scaring her, she’s faint-hearted, and she’ll take it seriously," Gu Lingqian said with a laugh.

"Seventh, don’t frighten her," the Old Madam also gave him a warning glance, but the doting glint in her eyes was obvious to everyone.

The Old Madam really loved this youngest son dearly, very dearly!

Everyone thought that Gu Beicheng was just joking, but only Xia Yinian knew what he meant.

He wasn’t joking; he was truly warning her!

If she didn’t behave well in the future, he would swallow her up whole!

This bastard, to bully her in front of so many people!

The servants continued to serve dishes, one delicious course after another was brought up, but Xia Yinian couldn’t enjoy any of it.

Tonight, Mr. Gu, Mr. Two, and Third Master were all present, along with Mr. Gu’s son, Gu Yinan.

Xia Yinian didn’t have much impression of him, because he barely spoke the whole time, only exchanging a few words with Gu Beicheng.

Fourth Master Gu was said to have been gone for a long time, leaving behind only a son, but tonight Young Master Sun was not back.

Mr. Wu and Sixth Master were both absent, and the ladies were seated at a different table, so this table wasn’t too crowded.

Xia Yinian was originally meant to sit with the ladies, but the Old Madam insisted on dragging her here.

Thus, except for the Old Madam, Xia Yinian became the only female at this table.

Did the eyes of many women from other tables fall upon her, each with their own thoughts?

Midway through the dinner, music began playing over by the dance floor.

Old Master Xia immediately stood up, extended his hand with a gentlemanly bow towards the Old Madam.

Tonight was their wedding anniversary, and the Old Madam didn’t like a fuss, so there weren’t lavish celebrations.

But the first dance of the evening still had to be with his wife.

The Old Madam’s cheeks were a bit flushed; even after being old spouses, there was still a hint of shyness at this moment.

However, shy as she may be, she still placed her hand in the palm of Old Master Xia, and they walked into the dance floor together.

Applause rose warmly, and once Old Master Xia and the Old Madam finished their first dance alone, the younger generation also started to enter the dance floor.

More and more silhouettes gathered in the dance floor.

However, after finishing a dance, the Old Madam came back and said to Gu Lingqian: "Why don’t you go and have a dance with Nian Nian?"
