Gu Xue’er was caught off guard and secretly called Gu Xi a fool. Nonetheless, she quickly explained, “Of course not. What nonsense are you saying? It’s because Daddy often brings Mom and me here to eat. That’s why I’m more familiar with this place.” Gu Xi had to cover her mouth to hide the smug smile on her face as she chuckled. “Well then, Daddy is indeed very rich. It must be quite expensive to have a meal here!” Gu Xi let out a cold laugh. “Daddy, since you’re so well off, why haven’t you been giving me any living expenses for the past year or so?” Gu Xi suddenly asked and looked at Gu Tianxiang in confusion. Gu Tianxiang was taken aback for a moment but soon replied in a kindly tone, “Hehe, you’re already a married young woman. I’m doing this to protect your reputation. If others come to hear that you’re still using your own family’s money after getting married, how shameful would that be?”“Is that so? But you never brought me out to eat at hotels in the past…” Gu Xi muttered u
“Tsk… How intense.” Although Gu Xi had been standing outside the door, she could still hear the noise coming from inside the room. She clicked her tongue in a dramatic way and did not seem embarrassed at all to hear such sounds. “Like what you hear?” While Gu Xi listened with keen interest, a deep and low voice came from behind her. “Baby, I thought you were going back to get your bag?” The smile on Gu Xi’s face froze at once while her entire body went stiff. As she turned around to look at Xing Beiyan, she could even hear a cracking sound in her neck. “No, no, I don’t like it at all. I was just passing by. Haha, darling, I wonder why Elder Sister Xue’er is still not here yet. Never mind. I’m heading there anyway. I’ll just let her know where we are when I go and get my bag. I’ll be off then,” Gu Xi said and laughed loudly. After that, she did not wait for him to speak and ran away as quickly as possible. As Xing Beiyan glanced at her, the corner of his lips curled up a little. T
“Isn’t she inside this room? Even I can tell that it’s her. President Gu, don’t tell me you can’t recognize your own daughter’s voice?” Yang Fan asked coldly. “If President Gu doesn’t recognize it, why don’t you go in and check if it’s her?” Xing Beiyan spoke up. “Understood, Master.” Yang Fan nodded and walked toward the room. “Me too, me too. I’d like to see who’s bullying Elder Sister Xue’er!” A malicious glint appeared in Gu Xi’s eyes as she trailed after him. “Wait a moment, Assistant Yang. I think it’s better if we don’t go in there. The voice doesn’t sound like hers. Let’s not go in there and disturb them…” Gu Tianxiang was covered in cold sweat as he went forward, trying to stop Yang Fan. “If we really end up causing any trouble, I’ll bear full responsibility for the consequences,” Xing Beiyan said coolly. Upon hearing this, Yang Fan ignored Gu Tianxing and immediately entered the room. Gu Xi quickened her footsteps to catch up to him, but Xing Beiyan instantly caught th
Gu Xue’er had not put her clothes back on properly, so given her disheveled appearance and savage behavior, she completely lost her air of femininity and looked more like a bad-tempered and aggressive woman.Nonetheless, just as Gu Xue’er leaped off the bed, her knees went weak and caused her to collapse to the ground, so she could only glare at Gu Xi resentfully, wishing she could devour the girl right then and there. “Big Brother Xing, Gu Xi set me up. You have to seek justice for me!” When Gu Xue’er turned her gaze to Xing Beiyan, she suddenly changed her tone and sounded rather aggrieved and pitiful.Unfortunately, aside from Gu Xi, the people in the room were as invisible as air to Xing Beiyan, so of course, he showed no response to Gu Xue’er’s words. “Elder Sister Xue’er, why are you saying that I’ve set you up?” Gu Xi asked in confusion.“You have the nerve to ask me that? If you didn’t ask that waitress to tell me that you’re in Room 105, would I have entered the wrong room?!
Yang Fan scoffed coldly and remained completely indifferent to the man’s anger. “You... How dare you threaten me?!” The man flew into a rage. “So what if I’m threatening you?” Yang Fan asked coolly. “Do you know who I am? I’m the head supervisor of Royal Hotel. The hotel manager is my eldest nephew. You have the nerve to threaten me. You’re seeking your death, aren’t you?!” the man retorted smugly and arrogantly. “Oh?” Xing Beiyan suddenly spoke up and raised his head to look at the man. “So what?” Although Xing Beiyan wore a smile, the man felt like he was in hell for some reason. ‘This guy must be no ordinary figure,’ the man thought. After all, the moment he met Xing Beiyan’s gaze, the man could not help feeling scared and even had a strong sense of foreboding.The man was used to behaving arrogantly since his nephew was the general manager of the hotel. Most people who came here to have their meals would usually show him some respect as well, so this was the first time he had
“I thought you wanted to go home?” Xing Beiyan was still speaking in a chilly tone. “Xixi, you once told me that any place I live in will never be home to you!” After he said those words, the air around them instantly grew heavier, and Gu Xi turned pale immediately. “But, but the Gu family’s residence isn’t my home, too…” she replied sadly while sniffling. “You…” Xing Beiyan never expected such a reply from her and became even more annoyed when he saw her sobbing so sadly, although he could not tell whether he was upset at her or himself. There were so many things he wanted to say, but in the end, he only managed to blurt out a few words. “Don’t cry!” Gu Xi froze for a moment. She did not know whether it was because of the small space inside the car or the close proximity between them that his voice kept echoing in her ears. She stared at him in disbelief and then felt her heart breaking when she saw the annoyance on his face.Why would he look at her with such an expression on his
The three girls were taken aback by Xing Beiyan’s response. By the time they recovered from their shock, he had already left. “That guy… He’s so cool…” one of the girls stammered.As the leader of the group stared at his retreating figure, her eyes burned with desire for a fleeting moment. “In any case, I like that guy, so you two are not allowed to go after him. Understood?” “Sure, sure, sure. We’ll do anything you ask us to do, Wan’er,” the two girls said and put on sweet smiles to please her despite the looks of discontent that flickered in their eyes. Meanwhile, Gu Xi had stopped in front of a small Takoyaki (TN: a Japanese snack that is in the form of small batter balls filled with minced octopus) stall. She could not bring herself to leave the stall as she kept salivating while staring at the Takoyaki on the iron pan with her swollen, red eyes. She had asked the stall owner if she could use a credit card, but the owner said no. After that, she just kept standing there and did
“Plop…” The box of Takoyaki in Gu Xi’s hands fell to the ground. Her eyes quickly grew red the moment she saw Xing Beiyan. “Xixi!” Xing Beiyan strode over and pulled her into his arms. His chest tightened with emotions when he heard her sobbing and sniffling uncontrollably. “Waah… Darling…” Gu Xi wiped her tears and snot on his expensive suit before saying in an extremely remorseful tone, “It’s all my fault for not making things clear and causing such a misunderstanding. Don’t be angry, okay? Those words of mine from before were all said in a moment of anger. Please don’t take it to heart, alright?”“I don’t blame you, and I’m not angry…” Xing Beiyan closed his eyes and let out a sigh.“Really?” Gu Xi raised her head abruptly. Upon seeing a familiar look on his face, she finally felt relieved and wiped her tears away. “I won’t do this ever again. Darling, can you please forget everything that happened in the past?” “Okay… Let’s head back first.” Xing Beiyan nodded without any hesita
