Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly

Chapter 1037: It’s Not Like Other Parts Don’t Work

As she once again marveled at how reliable Chi He was, a small pastry was placed in front of her."Eat some, just to fill your stomach."

Xia Yinian turned her head and glanced at Gu Beicheng, opening her mouth slightly to take a bite.

She hadn’t realized how hungry she was until that moment; she hadn’t eaten much that afternoon, and the evening meeting had consumed a lot of her energy.

So, her stomach was really empty, very hungry.

Gu Beicheng took the pastry the little girl had bitten and put the whole piece into his mouth, looking delightfully content as he ate.

Xia Yinian gave him a glance but didn’t pay much attention, picking up her chopsticks to start eating herself.

Late at night, as usual, the lights in the CEO’s office on the eighty-eighth floor of Imperial Group were still on.

But, unlike before, tonight’s lighting seemed much warmer, at least not icy cold.

After a hearty meal, Gu Beicheng’s complexion looked rosier, and Xia Yinian felt somewhat relieved.

Hoping his stomach ailment was just beginning, regular meals and a bit of treatment could cure it.

Gu Beicheng seemed quite happy with the meal and was in a bit of a hurry.

Was there still something to do tonight? He didn’t want to waste any time.

When Xia Yinian finished tidying up and returned from throwing out the trash, she saw Gu Beicheng rubbing his stomach.

"Uncle, what’s wrong? Is the pain starting again?" She hurried over.

"Hmm, nothing, probably just ate too much." Gu Beicheng immediately withdrew his hand.

He quickly acted naturally, but Xia Yinian had already seen the restraint in his eyes earlier.

"You have a bad stomach; you shouldn’t eat too much. It’s my fault; how could I forget?" She pressed her lips together and gently helped Gu Beicheng up.

"Really, it’s fine." Gu Beicheng seemed to want to push her away, but appeared a bit powerless.

"Don’t move, go inside and rest for a bit. If it doesn’t get better, we really should visit the hospital." Xia Yinian supported him as they headed to the bedroom.

When Xia Yinian couldn’t see, Gu Beicheng slightly curled his lips.

A bad stomach is just that, he admitted without a care, it’s not like something else was wrong.

If it weren’t for being scared by the earlier situation, Xia Yinian probably wouldn’t be so naïve.

How could Gu Beicheng not need her support? As long as she was willing to come closer, how could he refuse?

It’s undeniable, Seventh Young Master’s tactic of playing hard-to-get really worked at this moment.

Xia Yinian would only think that his intention to push her away was just to keep her from worrying.

After getting Gu Beicheng to the bedroom, Xia Yinian grabbed a pillow for him to lean on.

"Don’t sleep yet, I’ll get you a glass of water."

"Nian Nian, I want to take a shower first and then sleep, just like before." Gu Beicheng looked at her, his eyes absent of any other emotions.

"No, if it hurts too much you need to see a doctor." Xia Yinian frowned, "Or I can ask Chi He to bring a doctor over."

"No rush, if the pain really gets worse, I’ll have Chi He bring someone over." Gu Beicheng held her hand and got off the bed.

"Help me over to wash up, I broke out in a sweat just now, it’s uncomfortable!"

He pressed lightly on her, relying largely on his own strength to walk.

This was different from his state before the meal, so Xia Yinian had no doubts.

She even asked, "Can you really manage?"

"No problem, just a little stomachache won’t kill me. Just remember to remind me to eat on time in the future." Gu Beicheng said softly.
