Chapter 159: For the First Time, Someone Was Punished with Her
Gu Lingqian didn’t answer, which meant that the Old Master really hadn’t sent him even a little bit of food or drink?"So heartless!" She couldn’t help but complain.
After all, Gu Lingqian is also the eldest grandson of the Gu Family. If it were in ancient times, he would be the third generation successor.
To be so harsh to the successor – are they not afraid that he will treat the Old Master poorly when he takes over Shengshi Group in the future?
Gu Lingqian just gave a faint smile and didn’t say anything.
A large group and a big family must have strict rules, and the Old Master’s strict management actually isn’t a bad thing.
Xia Yinian knew that, in a big family, there are always the ways of a big family. She was just complaining casually.
She moved and sat down next to Gu Lingqian, leaned in, and asked softly, "Um... there aren’t any surveillance cameras or anything here, right?"
"What are you going to do?" Gu Lingqian slightly frowned and looked down at her.
This girl is leaning in so close; doesn’t she know that men and women shouldn’t touch each other so casually?
"Planning to do something naughty?"
"First tell me, is there really no surveillance in this little black room?" She was secretive and reluctant to say what she wanted to do.
"Some have it, some don’t."
"What about this one?"
"None."
"That’s great!" Xia Yinian smiled gleefully, suddenly taking out a packet of something from inside her clothes.
Gu Lingqian then noticed that from the moment she walked in, she had been holding her stomach.
He hadn’t noticed before, but now thinking about it, the action was quite obvious; it was just that he hadn’t been paying attention.
"Look what delicious things I brought for you." Xia Yinian opened the bag and displayed her treasures, listing them off one by one.
"Osmanthus cake, Meat Belly Buns, Fried Pork Ribs, as well as milk and water."
Gu Lingqian couldn’t quite believe his eyes. He hadn’t seen anything in her stomach area under her clothes; how could she possibly have taken out so much now?
"Surprised, huh?" Xia Yinian knew that her skill in hiding food had long reached an expert level.
"I’ve been learning since I was a child! I often angered Grandpa, and he would forbid me from eating. So, I’d sneak into the kitchen, secretly take some food back to my room. See if I haven’t developed some real skill?"
She opened a small bottle of mineral water and handed it to him: "Drink quickly."
She had already had her fill at Gu Beicheng’s place, but Gu Lingqian was still hungry.
Before she had left Uncle’s room, she had made an excuse to slip away for a while, which in fact, was a trip to the kitchen to get him some food.
Gu Lingqian gulped down most of the bottle of water in one breath but looked down at her with a complexity in his eyes that she couldn’t understand.
"Were you often punished by Old Master Xia when you were little?"
"Yeah, Grandpa only liked my older sisters, especially Xia Chuxue. As for me, I was naughty and troublesome, and he didn’t like that."
"Every time Xia Chuxue made a mistake, it would definitely end up being my responsibility, and every time, I would be the one who got punished."
But what she didn’t say was that she was always punished alone.
This was the first time, as Xia Yinian grew up, that someone stepped forward during her punishment, willing to bear it with her.
Just for this loyalty, Xia Yinian had decided to make sure he was comfortable here.
"Come on, try these ribs. It’s a pity that I spent too long with Gu Yin’an earlier, and the ribs have gone cold, but even cold, they are crispy. Try them!"
"And this bun... Oh! It’s all Gu Yin’an’s fault for hanging around and not leaving; it’s gone cold as well."
