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
“No! Tomorrow’s Saturday. I want to go home.” Then, Gu Xi hurriedly added, “I want to go back to our home!”Xing Beiyan’s body stiffened slightly as he stared at her intently. After that, he nodded and replied with a quick “okay.” Fortunately, she had added that last sentence. How could she still be so careless?! Gu Xi nearly could not stop herself from slapping her mouth. “Wait!” she called out hastily when they passed by a familiar-looking stall.“What’s wrong?” The car came to a sudden halt, and Xing Beiyan turned to look at her. “Darling, this is it. This is where I bought the Takoyaki from just now. It’s really tasty, but it fell to the ground earlier.” As Gu Xi thought of this, a look of pity flickered in her eyes.“Would you like to have some?” The corner of Xing Beiyan’s lips twitched slightly as he recalled that she had indeed been holding something when he found her earlier.“Yes, but my phone battery is dead and I can’t use my cards here, so I haven’t paid him for the s
“Is this guy a fool? How can he say no to such a huge sum of money?!” “I wonder what kind of backing these two young people have to be capable of throwing money around like this.” “How nice it would be if they gave that money to me instead. Ah, I would become a wealthy person overnight. Then, I wouldn’t have to keep doing business here while being exposed to the weather. This brother is just too stupid.” “One should seize whatever comes within their reach. In any case, one can easily tell that these two people are members of some wealthy family. Even the clothes they’re wearing look expensive. We might never be able to afford such clothes no matter how hard we work for the rest of our lives. I feel so envious. Why can’t such a wonderful thing happen to me?” “Indeed, indeed. That Takoyaki stall owner has stumbled upon such good fortune today. Why didn’t I think of offering that young lady some food earlier?” “He called her Madam. She’s being called Madam at such a young age. I won
Gu Xi was happily asleep when she felt something moving around on her body, which caused her to squirm uncomfortably. As she opened her eyes groggily and looked at the white ceiling and the large hand on her body, it took her quite a while to understand what was going on. Oh, right, was she not supposed to be having a bath? Gu Xi frowned and turned her head just in time to see Xing Beiyan gracefully wiping… Her body? She knitted her eyebrows together and closed her eyes again. ‘Just a dream, just a dream. I must be still asleep and dreaming,’ Gu Xi thought.How was it possible that her husband would help her wipe her body? She dared not even imagine such a thing. How could it be possible for that temperamental and devious man to do something like this?! It was most likely because she had come into his room and used his bathroom that she was having such a weird dream. In any case, Gu Xi’s mind was in a chaotic state at the moment. When Xing Beiyan noticed that she had clearly wo
Gu Xi tossed her pajamas aside and threw herself onto Xing Beiyan’s bed before pulling the blanket over herself without hesitation. Then, she sighed in satisfaction and closed her eyes happily. By the time Xing Beiyan came out of the bathroom, she was already fast asleep. He sighed and turned off the lights. Then, as he reached out to pull her into his arms, he felt his hands come into contact with her smooth, gentle skin. Immediately, he lifted the blanket and saw that the girl was lying in his bed in only her underwear! Did she realize what this meant?Xing Beiyan’s gaze darkened at once. … Since she wanted to follow him to work, Gu Xi automatically woke up quite early in the morning. She turned her head and found that Xing Beiyan’s eyes were shut and that he was still soundlessly asleep. Indeed, how lucky he was to be good-looking. He looked extremely elegant even while he was sleeping.She reached for her phone on the bedside table and took a few photos of his face before secre
