Chapter 1071: This Is Your Reward
Feeling sore all over, Xia Yinian couldn’t move quickly.This medicine must be good, but she definitely couldn’t let Uncle apply it for her.
She really wanted to take the medicine and go back to use it slowly, so Xia Yinian put on her long dress and sat back on the bed.
The long dress that Uncle prepared for her, with a high neck and three-quarter sleeves, perfectly covered the marks of last night’s ordeal.
After being satisfied with the dress, she looked down at her feet.
Yesterday, she was carried here; doesn’t Uncle know to prepare shoes for her?
Just when Xia Yinian was feeling frustrated, Gu Beicheng brought a pair of white flat sneakers to her.
He gave her a warm smile and squatted down in front of her.
Xia Yinian stared at him without blinking, lightly biting her thin lips, her right hand unconsciously placed near her mouth.
Such a handsome man willing to bend down for her made her feel incredibly blessed.
Besides, this man was the most powerful Seventh Young Master in Ye City, could this really not be a dream?
Perhaps feeling the little girl’s delight, Gu Beicheng grabbed her foot and looked up at her.
At this angle, Uncle looked extremely handsome, and before she knew it, Xia Yinian had started nibbling on the finger she held near her mouth.
Gu Beicheng was amused by her action; if her body weren’t unwell, he might have pushed her down again.
With a slight raise of his eyebrow, he began to put short socks on her little feet.
By the time Xia Yinian realized it, Uncle was already helping her put on the shoes.
"I... can do it myself." She pulled her foot back slightly.
"Let me, you did so well last night; this is your reward," Gu Beicheng said softly.
Xia Yinian was almost frightened by his mention of "doing well," but before she snapped out of it, the man had already finished putting her shoes on.
"Let’s have breakfast first; you’re hungry," Gu Beicheng said, picking up the girl from the bed.
"I... can walk myself," Xia Yinian wiggled her foot.
Gu Beicheng didn’t respond, carrying her out of the room and down the stairs.
Xia Yinian glanced around, feeling certain tension about being in the Feng Residence.
It seemed that she didn’t notice anyone around.
Gu Beicheng carried her through the hall and into the dining room, where he gently placed her on a chair with a blanket.
"Uncle, what happened last night? Can you tell me? Does anyone else know I’m here?"
"Yu Wanqing will definitely guess. Won’t she bring Grandma here to confront us?" Xia Yinian looked at Gu Beicheng with concern.
Being in the Feng Residence, she couldn’t possibly stay completely calm.
If anyone with ulterior motives saw her, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.
"I said, have breakfast first," Gu Beicheng looked at her and pointed at the table.
Xia Yinian glanced at the breakfast in front of her, then her gaze returned to Gu Beicheng.
"Uncle, I’m worried. If Grandma finds out about our relationship, she’ll be furious."
"Yu Wanqing’s plan failed; she wouldn’t give up so easily, she..."
"Who was just so sure, ready to give her a taste of her own medicine?" Gu Beicheng interrupted Xia Yinian.
Xia Yinian blinked and nodded.
"Of course, let’s have breakfast first."
Uncle might not care about anyone else, but he surely cares about Grandma.
Since he can remain so calm, it means this matter won’t involve Grandma, and she can be at ease.
