Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 809: Wounds Suffered for Her 9
Gu Beicheng turned around, wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, and buried his head in the crook of her neck, nodding lightly.
"Hmm."
Xia Yinian would not doubt Uncle’s words, because she knew that Uncle’s level of alchemy was pretty good.
But he had many things to handle, and wouldn’t participate in the Alchemy Competition.
Xia Yinian ignored the person behind her, cautiously adjusting the time.
She had been busy for almost an hour, and now was the crucial moment. She couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
If the trial failed, she would have to spend the same amount of time researching.
There were still many more trials to conduct. If she could, Xia Yinian would certainly want all trials to succeed at once.
After she adjusted all the equipment, Xia Yinian finally had her hands free and pushed aside the hands encircling her waist.
"Uncle, if you’re here to teach me alchemy, I welcome you wholeheartedly, but if it’s for something else, please go back to work."
"I’m really busy, I don’t have time to play, and you know that." Xia Yinian stepped back a little before turning to look at the man beside her.
"Didn’t you say today’s tasks were done?" Gu Beicheng leaned forward, pressing the girl directly against the table’s edge.
"Let go!" Xia Yinian struggled hard, successfully breaking free from Gu Beicheng’s grip.
"The Alchemy Competition is about to start, I’m really busy, could you please..."
"If you’re so busy, how do you have time to go give someone else a foot massage?" Gu Beicheng interrupted her.
Seeing his woman serve someone else, no man could feel at ease.
She should only serve him.
"That was an agreement I had with Yu Wanqing. She got hurt because of me; I can’t pretend not to know."
Xia Yinian glanced at him, turned, and picked up the manual on the table.
"Uncle, don’t get involved in this. I don’t want to owe anyone, especially since that person is Yu Wanqing."
Anyway, she simply didn’t want to owe this woman anything. Once she recovered, their score would be settled.
"Why not? Besides, you don’t owe her anything." Gu Beicheng said calmly.
"I just don’t want to, so please drop it, okay? She will be fine soon anyway." Xia Yinian muttered, softly biting her lip.
"By the way, what did the doctor just say? How is Yu Wanqing’s psychological evaluation?"
Gu Beicheng didn’t address Xia Yinian’s question directly. He watched her without blinking, then suddenly pulled her back into his arms once more.
He always liked catching her off guard, with extremely quick speed.
Xia Yinian had no chance to resist, already firmly captured.
"If you have any time, it should only be to serve me!" He looked down at the girl, his cold voice not seeming like a joke at all.
"Uncle." Xia Yinian raised her eyes to meet his gaze, blinking slightly.
No wonder Yu Wanqing was so enamored with this man; even she herself couldn’t resist Uncle’s allure.
Especially the past couple of days, he had been so gentle to her. Xia Yinian suddenly felt like dropping all her defenses, willing to be the little woman by his side.
Having dreams isn’t a bad thing, but if the dream is too big and unrealistic, she didn’t dare think too much about it.
A moment of impulsiveness could very likely leave her covered in bruises once more.
"I... really don’t have the time, and you wouldn’t want me to lose terribly in this Alchemy Competition."
Xia Yinian bit her lip and diverted her gaze: "Alchemy is my dream, and I hope Uncle can understand my feelings."
