Chapter 125: Not Allowing My Woman to Be Disappointed in Me
Chi He was gone.In the room, only Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng remained.
There was food on the table, but it seemed that neither of them had any intention of starting to eat.
After a while, Xia Yinian finally said, "Let me feed you."
That guy, with an IV in his arm, was staring directly at her. What else could he want, if not for her to feed him?
Since she was already here, she might as well feed him dinner before heading back.
Gu Beicheng remained silent. Such a simple matter, what was there for him to say?
Xia Yinian knew that this guy was both proud and impatient. The fact that he hadn’t lost his temper yet was already quite impressive.
She moved the tray to the nightstand, picked up the bowl, grabbed some food with the chopsticks, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Finally mustering the courage, she picked up a bite of food and brought it to his lips.
Gu Beicheng accepted her care, quite naturally, as if he had long been accustomed to being pampered like this.
Indeed, wasn’t it common for this man who always held himself above others, much like an emperor, to be accustomed to being served?
However, it seemed the cook of the Seventh Young Master’s household was... quite remarkable. Why did the dishes look so exceptionally appetizing?
Watching Gu Beicheng eat, Xia Yinian couldn’t help but lick the corner of her lips, and suddenly her stomach growled out loud.
Gu Beicheng’s gaze fell on her stomach, and Xia Yinian’s face reddened instantly.
The growl was so loud that it seemed as if everyone in the room could hear it.
Of course, the whole room did hear it, because there were only the two of them present.
"Haven’t had dinner?" Gu Beicheng frowned.
Xia Yinian hesitated, and then she finally nodded...
Half an hour later, replete and satisfied.
Xia Yinian patted her belly contentedly, deciding that it was time to look for the cook of this house. The culinary skills were simply too good not to.
"If you like it, you can come over every day. The cook here can come up with several new dishes every day, I guarantee they won’t repeat."
"Really?" Xia Yinian’s eyes immediately shone with adoration, but then she calmed down, feeling that there was something scheming about Gu Beicheng’s words.
"This is Uncle’s place, it’s not convenient for me." She huffed, not pleased at the thought of being stopped at the door.
Ladies like Lady Qing and Miss Qing could come and go as they pleased, even bringing their maids with them.
But when she wanted to come, even lying and saying she was sent by the Seventh Young Master didn’t work.
Gu Beicheng could imagine the scene of her being stopped at the door. He didn’t say anything comforting; instead, he laughed.
"You went through all that just to come see me? Did you miss me that much?"
"Miss you?" Xia Yinian’s face turned red, and she suddenly grew angry, "I only came to see if you were dead yet!"
"Heh, dare to curse me, you’ve really got a nerve," Gu Beicheng leaned against the headboard, gazing at her.
"I didn’t curse you." She didn’t want to curse him; those words were just spoken in a moment of irritation.
However, the thought of Gu Beicheng being bitten by a cobra, his lips turning black and purple, was enough to make her shudder.
Xia Yinian couldn’t help but mutter, "You really are a madman!"
"Are you still angry now?" Gu Beicheng remained surprisingly indifferent to her calling him names, still fixating his gaze on her.
"Does it matter so much to you whether I’m angry or not?" Xia Yinian gave him a sideways glance.
Was he really willing to throw away his life just to pacify her anger? How foolish could he be?
"Of course it matters." Gu Beicheng didn’t bother to hide how much he cared about the issue, "I don’t allow my woman to be disappointed in me."
