Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 591: Exclusive Favor 1

Gu Lingqian, of course, knew what was on the girl’s mind. His large palm slowly raised behind her, coming to a stop at her lower back as he slightly inclined his head downward.

This motion was akin to him wrapping his arms around the girl, caressing her hair with a kiss.

But Gu Lingqian did not follow through with the kiss, nor did his large hand truly make contact with Xia Yinian.

Eyes closed, he took a deep breath and completely reined in his emotions.

"Alright, if you’re really that tired, get some rest early. See you tomorrow."

No sooner had he spoken than Gu Lingqian pulled open the room door.

"See you tomorrow!"

Xia Yinian looked up at the man who had just stepped out, her face beaming with a smile, showing none of the tiredness from before.

Just as Gu Lingqian stepped out of the room, he suddenly turned around, pulled Xia Yinian into his embrace, and kissed her forehead.

"Darling, don’t miss me too much. The doctor said you need to rest well for a while, otherwise, I’ll have to stay. See you tomorrow!"

Xia Yinian stood there, utterly stunned and unable to react.

Gu Lingqian, finally getting his wish, let go of the girl in his arms.

"Go on in, get some rest."

Xia Yinian took a step back, ready to open the door when the man’s voice outside spoke up again. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Grandma, you’re still not asleep at this late hour..."

The words that followed from Gu Lingqian, Xia Yinian did not hear, for she had already closed the door.

No wonder Brother Ling had suddenly made such a move, it was because Grandma had come.

She hurried to close the door, partly out of selfishness; she was very tired today and didn’t want to deal with anyone else.

If it was only Grandma, it was nothing, but what if Third Madam was pushing her, or if Yu Wanqing suddenly appeared, would she need to fight a tough battle before she could sleep?

Forget it, better to avoid trouble if possible.

Since Brother Ling asked her to go in, Grandma probably wouldn’t come to find her now, would she?

After locking the door, Xia Yinian turned and walked toward her lovely bed.

Casually putting the towel that had been draped across her neck to one side, she was eager to jump into bed and sleep.

Suddenly, a cold draft came from the floor-to-ceiling window, and Xia Yinian became instantly alert.

The next second, she was nearly startled into a heart attack by the figure that appeared at the floor-to-ceiling window!

Uncle, why was he here? When did he arrive?

Realizing it was too late to stop him now, Xia Yinian halted her steps, her eyebrows knitted tightly.

Her guarded expression visibly displeased Gu Beicheng.

Why could she smile so joyously when she’s with Ling Qian, yet changed completely upon seeing him?

Disliking the feeling of being guarded against, Gu Beicheng struggled to suppress his chill.

Though a tall figure, he came into the room like a breeze carrying the scent of alcohol, quickly sitting down on the bed and leaning back against the headboard, a picture of casualness.

He casually picked up a book from the bed, appearing to read intently.

This was the first time Xia Yinian had seen Uncle read a book. His head was slightly bowed, his bangs shielding his thick eyebrows.

His naturally fan-shaped, doll-like eyelashes drooped slightly.

From that angle, even Xia Yinian couldn’t help but feel envious of this man.

Natural eyelashes, so dense and long, curling upwards naturally.

If she didn’t know Uncle too well, Xia Yinian might have thought those were fake eyelashes, extensions rather than real.

But makeup or beauty treatments for Uncle were beyond her imagination, simply impossible.

He was born with such perfection.
