Chapter 123: What... exactly are they doing?
The person outside was taken aback, Yu Wanqing looked at Xia Yinian with a bewildered face.Chi He didn’t seem surprised, but his expression wasn’t great.
Only Xia Yinian, ignoring everyone else, went straight inside.
When Yu Wanqing thought to stop her, she had already entered the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
"Chi He, she..." Yu Wanqing looked at the closed door, even more astounded.
As far as she knew, Gu Beicheng never liked to be alone with a woman in a room, especially late at night.
But now, this little girl had closed the door?
"Um..." Chi He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The youngster at home, she’s Young Master Ling’s fiancée; perhaps Young Master Ling has something to tell her."
Chi He naturally knew about Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian’s situation.
However, Seventh Young Master didn’t seem to plan on making it public, especially since Xia Yinian was currently Gu Lingqian’s girlfriend in public.
Thus, Chi He didn’t dare to say much.
He looked at Yu Wanqing: "Lady Qing, you must be tired coming from so far, why not go rest first?"
Yu Wanqing still looked back, gazing at the firmly shut door.
Originally, she wanted to wait and see if Gu Beicheng would send the little girl out.
Unexpectedly, what she saw was Xia Yinian herself coming out, asking Chi He to have food brought up.
"Beicheng hasn’t had dinner yet?" She looked at Xia Yinian.
Xia Yinian nodded, but only spoke to Chi He: "Prepare something light, as quickly as possible."
Seventh Young Master willing to eat made Chi He happy, and he no longer minded his previous dislike for Xia Yinian.
He nodded his head, saying busily: "I’ll have it prepared right away."
After speaking, he tossed to Yu Wanqing, "I’ll have someone prepare a room for Lady Qing," and then, he walked away.
Xia Yinian re-entered the room, still closing the door casually behind her.
Yu Wanqing stood outside the door for a while, and the maid Shelan also followed silently, daring not to say anything.
Soon, the old housekeeper came upstairs, saying warmly with a gentle face: "Lady Qing, your room is ready. I’ll take you there now."
The room prepared for Yu Wanqing was on the third floor. The entire second floor belonged to Seventh Young Master, who disliked living with women on the same floor.
Yu Wanqing still watched the door, and Housekeeper Leng Yu reminded again: "Lady Qing, your room is ready, please."
Maid Shelan also softly reminded, "Lady, please rest first."
Yu Wanqing finally shifted her gaze from the door, following Leng Yu downstairs.
Deep inside, a doubt lingered, refusing to fade.
Since that little girl entered, there’s been no movement inside at all—what on earth are they doing?
...
In reality, Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng weren’t doing anything; they were just staring at each other.
Yinian had been inside for quite some time, and after asking the rather silly question, "Have you eaten yet?", nothing else was said.
Unexpectedly, this actually elicited a "No" from Gu Beicheng, prompting her to ask Chi He to prepare dinner for him.
Then, returning to the room, she still just looked at Gu Beicheng sitting on the bed, hooked to an IV drip, without speaking.
Her gaze was complicated, perhaps even she didn’t know what she was thinking right now.
Adamently coming here, even using lies, all just to see him.
Now then? Having seen him, should she... leave?
Anyway, Gu Beicheng seemed to have truly recovered, no longer in danger.
Since there’s no danger, there was no need for her to stay.
"Goodbye!" Suddenly dropping this word, she turned and walked towards the door.
