Chapter 155: How Could Someone Poach Him?
In the room, Xia Yinian stood to the side while Gu Beicheng sat on the sofa. The atmosphere between them was a bit odd.But exactly where the oddness lay, the person entering the room saw it yet couldn’t articulate it.
Xia Yinian looked as if she had done something wrong, her face flushed. Was it from shame or shyness?
As for Gu Beicheng, he maintained his languid posture, leaning back in the chair.
His untouchable and noble demeanor wouldn’t only cause women to swoon but men as well would find it hard not to be charmed.
He was, quite simply, too handsome.
Yu Wanqing finally managed to tear her gaze away from Gu Beicheng.
And it took quite an effort for her to find her voice again: "Just now... What happened? It sounded like this girl was screaming?"
Although she was asking Xia Yinian, her gaze persistently lingered on Gu Beicheng.
Gu Yinan was also looking at Gu Beicheng, although Xia Yinian’s current appearance seemed as if something really had just happened.
Her face was so flushed; it surely wasn’t normal.
Yet, he was still reluctant to believe that the man he had always idolized could be someone who would hit on his own nephew’s girl.
There were plenty who threw themselves at him voluntarily.
Unbelievable that this girl, who looked so pure, turned out to be just like those other women.
Gu Beicheng’s gaze leisurely fell on Xia Yinian, his rose-colored lips slightly parting: "I too would like to know why she had to scream."
Explaining was never Gu Beicheng’s style, and of course, he didn’t feel he needed to explain anything.
Thus, the responsibility of explaining fell on Xia Yinian.
Of course, she could choose not to explain if she wished. Gu Beicheng didn’t care in the least what others suspected.
Xia Yinian certainly knew this demon’s way of thinking; he never cared about others’ opinions.
But what he didn’t care about, she cared about deeply!
"I... I just saw a mouse..."
"How is that possible?" Yu Wanqing’s expression darkened. In this place, where would a mouse come from?
Not to mention mice, even mosquitoes and flies were nearly extinct here.
At Seventh Young Master’s place, where would such unwelcome creatures come from?
If someone from below let in a mouse, would they still want to work at Seventh Young Master’s domain?
Gu Yinan also looked at Xia Yinian, not believing her one bit.
Xia Yinian’s face turned a deeper red, yet she staunchly insisted, "I really saw a mouse! It ran right over from where you’re standing now."
She pointed at Yu Wanqing.
Yu Wanqing instinctively looked down and thought about moving away from where she stood, knowing it was impossible, but feeling a bit creeped out.
"How could there be a mouse, Nian Nian? Could you have seen wrong because of blurred vision?"
Gu Yinan scrutinized her face, also feeling uncertain about how to handle this situation.
"I didn’t see wrong because of blurred vision; it was a mouse." Xia Yinian didn’t want to lie, but now, she had no choice but to.
Gu Yinan and Yu Wanqing exchanged looks, and finally, both of their gazes settled on Gu Beicheng.
Gu Beicheng still had that relaxed, indolent look, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Xia Yinian momentarily before his eyes slightly deepened, and he gave a nod: "There was a mouse."
What? There really was a mouse?
Gu Yinan was taken aback, almost unable to believe his ears.
Really... It was because of a mouse?
Then, why was Xia Yinian blushing like that?
