The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

As soon as Lu Beichen entered Gu Xiyao’s room, she closed the door. Lu Beichen looked back and maintained a safe distance from her.

Gu Xiyao couldn’t help but laugh at his behavior, "Why so reserved, Little Uncle? Are you afraid I’ll eat you up?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She joked, with her face still extremely gentle. She walked to the cabinet, stood on tiptoe, found the box inside, and then walked over to Lu Beichen, handing it over to him, "This is from my mother, she asked me to give it to you. Inside is a jade bracelet that she’s treasured for many years, a wedding gift for you and Tongtong. It really makes me envious."

Lu Beichen took it in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said, "You’re your mother’s precious daughter. When you marry Ning Zesheng, will it not be better than this?"

"Exactly!" Gu Xiyao laughed, "I am her pearl in the palm."

"I have received the item, so I’ll be leaving now!" Lu Beichen said directly without intending to stay longer.

Gu Xiyao called after him, "Little Uncle?"

"Anything else?" Lu Beichen turned back to ask.

Gu Xiyao walked up to him, blocking him inside, "Little Uncle, I never understood why you married Tongtong. That time, she took Nian Nian to the hospital to see me, then I thought back, the first time I went to your house and met her, she looked familiar, but I thought I was mistaken. Little Uncle, I remember I met her once in Paris, didn’t I?"

Lu Beichen’s expression tightened, almost imperceptibly flustered.

"I remember we met her once in Paris, almost no impression left, but now when I see her, I suddenly recall. At that time, we didn’t even speak, it couldn’t be her," Gu Xiyao furrowed her eyebrows, "Little Uncle, is Nian Nian’s mom really her? So that’s why she came to find you back then? So, you went ahead and got a marriage certificate with her in silence?"

Lu Beichen suddenly gripped her shoulder tightly, making Gu Xiyao wince, "Little Uncle, it hurts!"

"Have you mentioned this to anyone else? Does Ning Zesheng know?" Lu Beichen loosened his hand slightly.

Gu Xiyao shook her head, "I’m not very sure, I’m afraid I remembered wrong." After all, she only met her once. She didn’t imagine, during a time she spent almost every day with Lu Beichen, how he could have another woman without her knowing. Plus, Ji Niandong at that time looked different from now.

However, Lu Beichen’s reaction now...

"So, Little Uncle, is it really her? How is that possible?" Gu Xiyao was somewhat confused, "During that time, she sought you out, yet you didn’t seem very familiar with her. At least, not that familiar. Or is there really such a coincidence in the world, it just so happened..."

"Alright, Xiyao." Lu Beichen interrupted her, saying blandly, "Only you need to know about this matter. I don’t wish for anyone else to know."

"Why won’t you tell Tongtong and Nian Nian either?" Gu Xiyao furrowed her eyebrows, "If Tongtong is really Nian Nian’s mother, why doesn’t she remember? What exactly happened? I remember I was almost with you every day back then, nothing major could’ve happened without me knowing, right?"

She questioned one after another, while Lu Beichen just looked at her, after a while he finally said, "I only know, now no one can know, especially Tongtong and Nian Nian."

He reached out and gripped Gu Xiyao’s shoulder, "Xiyao, promise me, will you?"
