Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 595: Exclusive Favor 5

Uncle’s final words, that no matter how much she struggled, he would never let go, sent a shiver through Xia Yinian’s heart.

Today, he asked her to give him a little more time; what did that mean?

Her mind was a mess, knowing that she shouldn’t have any more expectations for this man, yet she couldn’t help but think about him.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yinian closed her eyes and tried to focus her thoughts back on her book.

Because if she continued to think, she couldn’t help but expect, and the repeated disappointments were nearly driving her mad.

The girl who kept forcing herself not to think couldn’t even recall a single word from the medicine book in her mind.

Breathing in the air tinged with Uncle’s unique body scent and feeling the strength of his heartbeat, how could she possibly remember anything else?

She didn’t know how long it had been, but the restless girl’s breathing had slowly become steady. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

What Xia Yinian didn’t realize was that it was only when holding her that Gu Beicheng could sleep peacefully.

In reality, it was also only in his arms that she could sleep soundly.

The two embracing in slumber both had a hint of a smile on their lips.

Xia Yinian was like a greedy little rabbit, always burrowing into Gu Beicheng’s embrace from time to time.

In her dream, feeling a bit of chill, she suddenly found herself tightly held by a familiar body.

Xia Yinian didn’t think much, she just felt that this embrace was the most comfortable and safest place she had ever encountered in her life.

It was like a harbor sheltering from the storm, always open for her, no matter when.

And the moment she returned here, she didn’t have to worry about anything - there were no plots, no deceit, and not even any hurt.

"Uncle..." Xia Yinian called softly, perhaps not even she knew who she was calling for.

The girl’s gentle and passionate voice made the man holding her furrow his brows slightly.

When Gu Beicheng woke up, Xia Yinian was still snuggling obediently into his embrace.

As the fan-like eyelashes fluttered open, those deep, eagle-like eyes stared unblinkingly at the girl in his arms.

Did she just call his name?

At this moment, Gu Beicheng’s eyes were full of tenderness.

It’s a pity that such a gaze was difficult for Xia Yinian to see.

When he woke up, Gu Beicheng felt much better and looking at her, he no longer felt tired.

For a long time, he still made no movements.

He wasn’t sure if he didn’t want to wake up the person in his arms or if he was waiting for her next words.

Out of the blue, Xia Yinian stretched out her small hand and slapped Gu Beicheng’s chest with a "smack."

"Why do you always bully people? Does bullying me make you happy? Jerk!"

After the girl’s "jerk," another "smack" resounded.

"If you bully me again, I’m going to fight back!" Xia Yinian huffed.

This bit of strength was like scratching an itch for Gu Beicheng.

Clearly, the girl who was just smiling, but now pouting her lips, was reluctant to use force.

In fact, even if she did use force, it would still be pointless for him.

Looking at her pouting, rosy lips arched so high, Gu Beicheng felt his heart tighten slightly, tempted to conquer them.

However, he saw the girl’s grievance all too clearly.

Was he always bullying her?

Before Gu Beicheng could understand the question, the ringing of his cellphone suddenly broke through.

He extended his long arm, grabbed the phone, and slid over the mute button.

Xia Yinian seemed to be startled by something, becoming restless.

"Uncle, no, don’t kill! Uncle, no! Stop doing this, Uncle..."
