Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly

Chapter 120: The Tough Guy with an Iron Bone and a Clanking Sound

Gu Beicheng had arrived after she got bitten by the snake?Xia Yinian was stunned, her thoughts drifting back to last night.

It was pitch dark in the cave, truly a case of cannot see one’s own fingers when a hand is stretched out. She had been in constant fear, seemingly overlooking many issues.

At the time, it felt like something did bite her calf, but it wasn’t very painful. She thought it was merely a trivial creature.

Out of fear, she didn’t pay attention to it, and if it hadn’t been for the rustling noises outside, she wouldn’t have thought of snakes.

The silent and sneak attack, a bite and then gone—it seemed if it was a snake, it was a cowardly one!

But was it true that she had already been bitten before Gu Beicheng arrived?

Her gaze couldn’t help but turn to Gu Lingqian who was standing nearby.

Gu Lingqian nodded slightly: "According to the doctor’s assessment, you have had the wound for quite some time. Fortunately, it wasn’t from a highly venomous snake, otherwise..."

Gu Lingqian didn’t continue; looking at the situation now, he seemed to have figured out what had happened.

Uncle’s temperament hasn’t changed one bit, owning up to mistakes—so, by letting himself get bitten too, he thought he could use this method to calm Xia Yinian down?

But Uncle doesn’t understand women at all.

Doing this, other than causing Xia Yinian to feel scared and uneasy, seemed to have no beneficial effect on her mood.

This tough guy, Uncle, is truly strong enough; it’s just a pity that his mind isn’t as delicate when facing girls.

And no wonder, after so many years, when has he ever interacted with women?

It’s not surprising that he doesn’t understand the thoughts of girls.

His words tightened Xia Yinian’s heart, suddenly filling her with discomfort.

So it turns out that before Gu Beicheng came, she was already hurt, and this matter had nothing to do with Gu Beicheng.

Previously, she had been somewhat disappointed with him for not protecting her.

Although it wasn’t enough to make her angry, it’s true that she had regarded him as an omnipotent deity at the moment, and disappointment was inevitable.

But as it turns out, he wasn’t incapable. Rather, nothing untoward ever happened when he was around.

The problem was with her own self...

"But..." She bit her lip, looking at Chi He, a bout of inexplicable sorrow hit her heart, "Doesn’t he know that I was injured before he arrived?"

"Of course he knows," Chi He said somewhat irritably.

"He knows?" Xia Yinian was shocked, "If he knew, why does he still feel it’s his fault?"

To take all the blame and responsibility onto himself, should it be said he’s too proud or too foolish?

Chi He couldn’t be bothered to deal with her anymore. If it weren’t for her disappointment in Seventh Young Master, why would he have acted this way?

Given Seventh Young Master’s way of doing things, how could he allow himself to disappoint her?

Gu Lingqian let out a breath, helplessly saying, "Because Uncle feels that, taking you out to have fun but failing to protect you properly, is indeed his fault."

Xia Yinian bit her lip, silent, her heart sour for no apparent reason.

That demon, why would he do this when it’s not his fault?

Just because he brought her out, does it mean everything becomes his responsibility?

She leaned against the wall, starting to loathe herself.

Why did she have to show small temper towards him just now? Had she known he would find such a way to vent for her, she would definitely, definitely be smiling all the time, showing him in this manner that she really wasn’t angry.

Really, not angry, nor disappointed anymore.

That man, despite often bullying her, is a tough guy with an iron bone!

She... wasn’t disappointed at all, truly.
