“Okay…” Xing Beiyan nodded and did not say anything more, even though it was the mayor who had spoken to him.When everyone else saw this, they became at a loss for words. Before them, one was Mr. Mayor while the other was a commanding and influential figure in the business world. Their very presence felt so stifling that the other businessmen remained standing in silence; they did not dare to make any movement without receiving any instructions from these two men. Gu Tianxiang never expected Xing Beiyan to disregard him like this in front of so many people. He was filled with anger and fear as he wondered if Gu Xi had offended this man in any way. If this man were to make a move against the Gu family, then they might not be able to gain a firm foothold in A City anymore. Despite Gu Tianxiang being upset, he was still capable of holding in his anger. After all, he had been a businessman for more than ten years. Upon hearing the mayor mentioning his daughter, Gu Tianxiang could not s
Xing Beiyan was about to enter the car when his assistant, who had been trailing behind him, came over and said, “Master, the eldest daughter of the Gu family sent you a message.”He had always used two separate phones, one for private use while the other for social and business use. He mainly used his business phone number to keep in contact with his family members and friends. Thus, many people had his business number. Xing Beiyan would carry his private phone on him at all times as his private number was only known to Gu Xi.He would have this phone on sound mode at any time no matter where he was to await her messages. However, in the past two years, this phone had always been silent. It was only because Gu Xi had finally been contacting him lately that the phone had gradually come to be more actively used. Naturally, since Xing Beiyan carried this phone on him, no one else dared to even touch it. Meanwhile, his business phone was usually with his trusted assistant. Xing Beiy
‘Since you’re so eager to fly out of your cage and leave me, I might as well cut off your wings, so that you… Can never leave again…’‘Xixi, I told you before. This time, I will never let go of you again, even if it means having to go to hell together…’As the car zoomed down the street and turned in an arc, a stifling air filled the entire car, making Yang Fan go pale in the passenger seat. He had not seen his Master look so terrifying for a very long time... At the Xing family’s residence, Gu Xi had become rather drowsy while waiting for Xing Beiyan. Nonetheless, she was able to stop her eyes from closing as she wanted to at least see him first. Unfortunately, what she was about to face was not a ray of sunshine but a storm! “Bang…” The sound of a car door slamming shut woke her up from her drowsy state.When she lifted her gaze and looked over, her eyes were full of anticipation that she was not aware of herself. Nonetheless, when she saw that bleak look on Xing Beiyan’s face,
Xing Beiyan’s body went stiff for a moment. When he looked back at her, there seemed to be a mixture of emotions in his eyes. “Xixi, do you still remember what I said to you before?”“Yes, I remember…” Gu Xi remembered very clearly every word he had said to her. “Will you please believe me? No matter what you saw, none of it is real,” she explained while reaching out to tug on his sleeve. Xing Beiyan’s gaze flickered for a moment. “Darling?” Gu Xi swung her hands back and forth as a pleading tone entered her voice. “Please stop being angry, will you…” ‘Shameless!’ Yang Fan cursed under his breath while standing behind Xing Beiyan when he noticed his master’s mood visibly taking a turn for the better. ‘Unbelievable. This girl is actually trying to act cute in front of Master. She’s obviously feeling guilty!’ Unfortunately, his Master liked it the most when she acted this way.“Okay…”When he saw his Master being so obedient as Gu Xi pulled him toward the table, Yang Fan nearly
Butler Wang soon came in along with the rest of the servants. Thus, Gu Xi and Xing Beiyan had their dinner peacefully in a strange atmosphere. The servants and subordinates around them finally sighed in relief when they saw the two protagonists going upstairs. Gu Xi knew that what had happened today was a serious matter. Otherwise, Xing Beiyan would not have flown into a rage and decide to confine her within their house. Initially, she hoped to see him and explain the situation to him by coming home earlier. Unfortunately, he did not come back until much later. After taking a bath, Gu Xi lay on her bed and felt rather depressed as she thought about everything that had happened today. She would be getting her exam results tomorrow, but no one knew just how important her marks meant to her this time. After all, Gu Xi had been working very hard for a long time to achieve such results. Therefore, she wished she could be there in person to witness the incredulous and upset look on Gu
“I won’t go!” Gu Xi exclaimed and threw her Winnie-the-Pooh doll onto his large bed angrily. Then, after glaring at him, she proceeded to hop onto his bed and jumped on it twice as though she was trying to get revenge. As a result, his initially tidy bed was turned into a mess.Xing Beiyan tightened his grip on the wine glass and then suddenly placed it aside before walking over. “What are you trying to do?” Then, as Xing Beiyan stopped dead in his tracks and looked down at the young girl who had wrapped herself in his blanket while pretending to sleep, he stared at her beautiful little face with a somewhat dark gaze.“I’m not trying to do anything. I just want to sleep.” Gu Xi opened her eyes abruptly and felt a pang in her heart when she met his cold gaze. Soon after, she lowered her head sadly like a wounded little animal. “Aren’t we married? Xing Beiyan, why can’t I sleep…”She tried to suppress her emotions. “You… Do you really hate me that much?”Xing Beiyan was dumbstruck and f
Gu Xi’s face turned bright red. It was out of habit that she usually called him ‘darling’, so she never thought much of it. However, it felt quite different when he was coaxing her to say it in this way. “Dar, dar…” She kept stuttering while her face grew even redder and her mind went blank. Then, she suddenly blurted, “As if I would believe you. You’re such a bad old man!” The sexual tension in the room vanished all at once… Xing Beiyan’s expression darkened right away. He rolled around and sat to the side of the bed while taking a deep breath. He seemed to be… Angrier? Gu Xi pulled her arms down awkwardly and cast him a wary glance. Why did she have to say that? “Darling, darling?” She reached out and poked at his hands.“Old man, huh?” Xing Beiyan instantly caught hold of her hand and asked gravely, “Xixi, is that how you see me?” “No, it’s not like that. It’s not. That was just an online expression that’s been quite popular recently. Everyone’s been using it. I accidentally
At the same time, Xing Beiyan opened his eyes. Whenever he was being gentle, it was easy to lose oneself in his deep, dark eyes. Meanwhile, whenever he was in a violent rage, no one would dare to even meet his gaze. Gu Xi was very glad that he was always gentle toward her. “Darling, good morning…” She put on a sweet smile and appeared completely unflustered despite the fact that she had just been caught trying to pull out his eyelashes. “Morning…” Xing Beiyan released her hand and had a blank expression on his face, but Gu Xi could sense that the guy was in a great mood. “You’re not going to work today?” she asked curiously. “I am.” He glanced at her and then got up before heading straight for the bathroom.Within just a few moments, Gu Xi sensed that the guy had become unhappy. Did she say something wrong?She ran her fingers through her hair and then returned to her room with her Winnie-the-Pooh doll in her arms before opening her window out of habit. After that, as she looked
