Chapter 1030: Nian Nian, Are You Not Planning to Go Back to School Tonight?
"Not only that, but for a long time now, he’s been sleeping only three or four hours at most every night, and eating irregularly."Chi He was also anxious, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare keep Xia Yinian here without orders.
Xia Yinian’s eyes frowned even more deeply, she hadn’t imagined things were this severe.
"Does he think he’s made of iron?" She almost blurted out the words without thinking.
"Where is Uncle now?" Picking up the laptop bag, Xia Yinian looked at Chi He.
"CEO’s office." Chi He immediately responded.
It seemed there was no need for him to speak; Lady Nian would naturally go to find the Seventh Young Master.
Chi He also understood that many things aren’t as simple as Lady Nian wishing for them to be.
However, seeing her genuinely care for the Seventh Young Master gave him some relief.
At least, the Seventh Young Master hadn’t doted on Miss Niannian in vain.
"I’ll take you there." Watching Xia Yinian leave, Chi He caught up.
"No need, prepare some late-night snacks, something light, and bring it over later."
Xia Yinian’s voice still lingered in the conference room, but she had already disappeared from Chi He’s sight.
"Alright, got it." The next moment, Chi He also left the conference room.
As Xia Yinian had been to Imperial Group before, she naturally knew the location of the CEO’s office.
She didn’t linger much and walked straight through the open office area outside to the CEO’s office door.
Hesitating for a moment, Xia Yinian casually knocked on the door and walked inside.
When the girl entered, Gu Beicheng was seated at the desk, still busy working.
"What’s the matter?" A cold voice sounded, followed by a realization that something was odd.
It’s her? Gu Beicheng hadn’t excluded the possibility of wanting her to stay tonight.
However, Gu Beicheng was well aware of today’s headline news, as he figured prominently as the male lead.
Not wanting to disrupt her life, he had to restrain himself for now.
"Why haven’t you gone back yet?" Meeting his gaze, Xia Yinian was momentarily stunned before stepping forward.
"There’s still work to do." Gu Beicheng withdrew his gaze, fingers once again tapping on the keyboard.
"No matter how busy, you need enough rest, otherwise..."
Before Xia Yinian could finish, she clearly saw Gu Beicheng furrow his brows.
Damn! Even he didn’t realize he would feel pain at this moment.
"Uncle, what’s wrong?" Xia Yinian set aside the laptop bag and swiftly walked over.
"It’s nothing." Gu Beicheng grabbed a bottle of medicine from somewhere.
Opening it, he took out a pill, placed it in his mouth, and picked up a nearby cup to drink some water.
Throughout the process, Gu Beicheng’s gaze remained mostly on the computer screen, perhaps not wanting Xia Yinian to notice his condition.
Yet, even so, Gu Beicheng’s large hand kept Xia Yinian blocked at the drawer.
"What are you taking? Let me see."
This man rarely frowns, but just now, she really saw him endure, and even now, it’s the same.
Gu Beicheng turned his head to match Xia Yinian’s gaze, raising an eyebrow lightly.
"Is Nian Nian planning not to return to school tonight?"
"What medicine did you take? Are you sick?"
Xia Yinian tried to pull his hand out of the drawer, just to see what he had taken earlier.
If she hadn’t been so close, she wouldn’t have noticed Uncle’s face was so pale.
She didn’t want to let go, worried that if she did, he’d lock the drawer, and she wouldn’t get an answer.
