Chapter 984 - 988: Sorry to Have Frightened You
But her heart had long been given to Qiao Zhenyu, leaving no room for anyone else, and the Young Master was just a passerby in her life. The two of them were like a diamond and a grain of sand; naturally, he was the diamond, and she could only be the small and insignificant grain of sand.Xia Qingqian no longer thought about those unrealistic things; she curled the corners of her mouth, tucked the quilt to her chest, and lightly closed her eyes, gradually entering the realm of dreams.
Yet in her drowsiness, she indeed felt the sound of light, slow footsteps growing closer, as if lingering right next to her ear, accompanied by a faint scent of bath soap and a subtle masculine aura in the air, wafting into her nose.
She instinctively took a deep breath, as if to confirm whether the scent really existed. At this moment, she wished to open her eyes and see everything clearly. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t open her eyes and could only rely on her feelings to experience the dreamlike world.
Beitang Yao pushed the door open, tiptoed to the bedside, stood by the bed, and his deep eyes, clear yet solitary in the night, gently fell upon Xia Qingqian’s sleeping face.
Her little mouth unconsciously made a slight smack, and her full, seductive lips seemed to invite one to share in joy, so tempting and so beautiful. Beitang Yao lightly gazed at her sleeping face, the corners of his mouth lifting in a slight arc. He sat down on the bed involuntarily, reaching out his hand, stopping in mid-air.
Thinking for a moment, that hand caressed her face, and in the moonlight, it slowly traced her contour, as if he wanted to imprint every point and line of her on his hand.
"Fool, you were frightened in the kidnappers’ iron house... From now on, I won’t let such fear and panic ever happen to you again," Beitang Yao murmured to himself, as if speaking to her, or perhaps to himself.
This promise, he hoped he could truly fulfill, allowing this fool to grow healthily without a trace of harm. Those kidnappers targeted him; tonight, he went to the police station with Ye Feng to thoroughly investigate who was behind it all.
The suspect was a woman, a woman... He dared not imagine, and gradually a flashy and cruel face emerged in his mind... Could it be... her? Does she really wish that all the women around him end in ruination or even death?
If true, then he would absolutely not be lenient anymore, and he wanted to protect Xia Qingqian, allowing her to grow strong in his greenhouse.
"Young Master, there’s a record of Miss You Huan coming in and out of the country. Should we verify matters related to Miss Xia before making any conclusions?" Ye Feng stood at the desk, looking at Beitang Yao seated in the large leather chair. Seeing Beitang Yao’s stern expression without a trace of softness, Ye Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
"Beitang Huan..." Beitang Yao paused, pondering with a furrowed brow, "Do you really think this is just a coincidence? Does it still need investigating?"
Ye Feng gulped, his eyes turning. Since the Young Master said so, it meant he already had a decision in his heart, the matter was settled, and the situation couldn’t be reversed?! Beitang Huan, what kind of lady is she to repeatedly hinder Beitang Yao’s love?
When the Young Master and Shen Youran were together, it was obvious he was sincerely investing in that relationship, yet the Young Master’s efforts received no return. Shen Youran actually climbed into the bed of a famous director to get ahead, betraying the Young Master.
