Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Smitten?
After staying in the hospital for three more days, Gu Tiantian was discharged after Dean Xu repeatedly confirmed there was no issue.
At that moment, the look in Dean Xu’s eyes held a hint of playful curiosity.
He even seized the moment when Bai Chenyao was taking a call to ask her a question.
"Little girl, have you fallen for him?"
Dean Xu’s question left Gu Tiantian stunned, with her cheeks gradually turning red.
For a moment, she just stared dumbly at Dean Xu with a flushed face, unable to say anything.
Awkward, embarrassed, she felt her mind was a blank.
Fallen for him?
For whom?
Who else could it be? Naturally, it meant Bai Chenyao!
But she and Bai Chenyao...
Even if she knew little about Bai Chenyao, she couldn’t just brush aside the things he had done previously, right?
But what about the current Bai Chenyao?
From when Grandma was sent to the hospital until now when she was discharged, Bai Chenyao had been by her side all along, personally taking care of her. Though his face remained stern, there were many times when she could feel his unintentional gentleness.
Gu Tiantian’s heart started to feel chaotic.
Bai Chenyao returned after the call to find Gu Tiantian, red-faced and staring blankly at Dean Xu, her eyes drifting and her small mouth slightly open. His expression instantly turned cold.
"Gu Tiantian!"
Gu Tiantian was startled and snapped back to reality.
Confronted with Bai Chenyao’s icy demeanor, she felt utterly bewildered.
Whereas Dean Xu, standing nearby, felt both awkward and amused.
He knew the temperament of this youngest son of the Bai Family—possessiveness extremely strong.
But him, an old man nearly buried up to his chin in dirt, does he need to guard against him?
"A Yao, what’s the matter?"
Once she came to herself, Gu Tiantian tried to ignore Bai Chenyao’s icy expression, asking him with a hint of caution.
Bai Chenyao lowered his head, his dark and profound eyes focused on her, watching her closely for quite a while without saying a word.
Then he took her hand and strode towards the elevator.
Gu Tiantian felt even less certain, not knowing what had offended Bai Chenyao yet again.
Earlier, he’d kept staring at her, making her skin tingle with goosebumps.
Inside the elevator, Gu Tiantian thought about Bai Chenyao’s promise to go to school with her, worried he might change his mind due to her inexplicable provocation, she decided to test the waters.
"A Yao, what was that just now?"
Suddenly, Bai Chenyao lowered his head, staring down at her with a sharp gaze, filled with a bit of coldness.
"As a young lady, is it appropriate for you to stare at an old man like that?"
Gu Tiantian: "..."
Three black lines formed on her forehead as she utterly surrendered beneath Bai Chenyao’s tailored suit pants.
Once out of the elevator, Gu Tiantian was led by Bai Chenyao swiftly to the parking lot and got into the car.
Inside, the atmosphere was tense. Li Mu had been driving focused for years, expressionless, as if unaware of anything.
Inside his mind, waves raged, roaring endlessly.
Damn it, Miss Gu surely doesn’t realize how intense the master’s possessiveness is.
Gu Tiantian truly didn’t know. If she did, she might only feel relieved that she was staring at an old man and not a young and handsome guy.
Otherwise, who knows what would happen next.
After getting in the car, Gu Tiantian remained ensconced in Bai Chenyao’s arms.
However, his face was grim, evidently unwilling to speak.
Gu Tiantian felt aggrieved and innocent, once more flashing back to Dean Xu’s words.
Fallen for him?
NO!
If Bai Chenyao wasn’t so temperamental, she might have already fallen for him!
