Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 589: Clearly Very Much Cares 19

"Okay, then you and Nian Nian have to work hard!" Old Madam nodded.

"Um." Gu Lingqian turned his head to look at Xia Yinian, his lips lifting into a happy smile.

Gu Beicheng didn’t say a word, still drinking alone.

Chi He, standing not far away, felt increasingly distressed watching Seventh Young Master now.

If it weren’t for Old Madam being here, Seventh Young Master would have left already.

Although she did not get what she wanted, seeing the current state of Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian made Guan Xiaoxue feel much better than before.

As long as they are unhappy, she is happy!

Since this is the reality that will inevitably surface sooner or later.

She can wait, wait and see if Xia Yinian can still be so arrogant when the time comes.

...

Xia Yinian forgot how this dinner ended. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Not until Gu Lingqian took her back to her room did her complexion improve somewhat.

After locking the door, Xia Yinian tidied her clothes and went to take a shower in the bathroom.

She had stayed in the hospital for a whole week; coming home was supposed to be attractive.

But this place isn’t her home, it feels just so-so.

However, it’s good that Brother Ling insisted she have her own room; since he decided on it, no one else dared to say much, and that put her at ease.

For what excuse Gu Lingqian found, Xia Yinian did not ask; she only cared about the result.

Overthinking is futile, just wash up and sleep, tomorrow is a new day.

After cleaning up in the room for half an hour, Xia Yinian felt much better.

There is only one month left until the Alchemy Competition, Master has such high expectations of her, and she doesn’t want to let him down.

Although, he is not old at all.

Just leaning on the headboard, the door of the room was knocked from the outside.

"Nian Nian, it’s me."

It was Gu Lingqian’s voice; Xia Yinian got up and walked over.

"Brother Ling, what’s up?"

"Is it inconvenient to come in?" Gu Lingqian frowned seeing only her head poking out.

Xia Yinian looked down at herself, throwing out two words before turning back.

"Convenient."

The two were already engaged; even speaking outside the room seemed a bit inappropriate.

Returning to the bed, Xia Yinian casually pulled a bath towel and draped it around her neck, naturally falling down in front of her chest.

She wasn’t wearing inner... clothes; she planned to sleep without them tonight, as was her habit, nothing else was out of order.

Just as the girl sat on the bed, Gu Lingqian also sat down on the single sofa nearby.

"Still reading?" Gu Lingqian looked at the person on the bed and raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, what do you need so late?" Xia Yinian nodded, her eyes still locked on the book in her hands.

"Can’t I see you if there’s nothing? We are now husband and wife." Gu Lingqian leaned back on the sofa with a lazy posture.

Xia Yinian turned her head to glance at him and pursed her lips.

"We’re only engaged, not yet married." Husband and wife, that’s too fast to claim.

"What’s the difference between engagement and marriage? Engagement allows cohabitation, unlike me who still needs approval to enter." Gu Lingqian said disdainfully.

"Didn’t I let you in? So many complaints." Xia Yinian glanced at him.

"Tell me, what’s the matter? I’m very tired today, ready to sleep."

"Alright, then I’ll sleep with you." Before Xia Yinian could react, Gu Lingqian already lay down beside her.

"Gu Lingqian, what are you doing?" Xia Yinian turned her head and glared at him, "Speak up! I’m genuinely tired, no kidding."

Gu Lingqian sat up, looking down at the girl in front of him.

"Do you see... do I look like I’m joking?"
