Chapter 174: No Turning on the Lights, No Coming Over
Xia Yinian was really about to go mad. What on earth had she done to provoke him into such a state?Wasn’t everything fine this morning?
No, it wasn’t right. Even before returning from the horse farm in the morning, things seemed already off.
At that time, his gaze was terrifying as well...
"Wait... hold on, wa... ah... don’t bite me!"
Suddenly, Xia Yinian bit her lip forcefully, daring not to make another sound.
Because, there were footsteps outside, and these footsteps stopped right outside her door.
Xia Yinian could hear them, so Gu Beicheng definitely could too, but the bastard simply didn’t care, not minding at all.
Xia Yinian’s breathing became erratic in an instant because the person outside had started speaking.
"Um, Nian Nian, I’m Third Madam, may I come in?"
It was actually Guan Xiaoxue, Gu Ziqi’s mom! What was she doing here?
"Hold on, there’s... someone inside." Her hand landed on his head, gently pushing.
But she couldn’t push him away and instead hurt herself, taking in a sharp breath of cold air.
Oh God, his head buried on her body, and he actually... refused to let go.
"There’s someone..." Xia Yinian whispered again.
Unexpectedly, Gu Beicheng didn’t just ignore her.
"Wait, don’t... don’t do that..."
"Nian Nian, are you asleep? I’m coming in." The door was suddenly pushed open...
With a click, the room turned dark in an instant, as someone turned off the light right as Guan Xiaoxue opened the door.
Xia Yinian looked down, dumbfounded at the man who had buried his head on her again.
Was it him who turned off the light just now?
Oh God, the distance to the switch by the bedside table was so far, how did he manage to do that?
And so quickly!
She didn’t have time to think further; Guan Xiaoxue had already entered!
Xia Yinian was startled and in a panic pulled the blanket up, sitting up and covering the man with it.
Guan Xiaoxue didn’t expect her to be asleep so early, but there was clearly movement on the bed.
She reached for the light switch on the wall next to her, muttering, "Why is the light off?"
"Don’t turn on the light!" Xia Yinian immediately said sternly.
Guan Xiaoxue was taken aback and her expression darkened instantly.
This damn girl, how dare she speak to her in such an authoritative tone!
But today, she didn’t come to argue with her, so... if she says don’t turn it on then it won’t be turned on, she held back!
Gu Jinghe had said, if she wanted her daughter to be well, today she had to listen to her!
Guan Xiaoxue took a deep breath in and slowly let it out, managing to restrain her frustration.
"Alright, if you don’t like it, we won’t turn on the light." She forced a bit of a smile, thought for a moment, and still closed the door.
She wanted to go over, but the room was pitch black, making even walking a step difficult.
But in order to speak with her conveniently, Guan Xiaoxue still carefully made her way step by step towards the bed in the center of the room.
Who would have expected that after just a few steps, the person on the bed urgently said, "Don’t come any closer!"
"You!" Guan Xiaoxue clenched her teeth, her face turning green with anger.
All these prohibitions, what was she implying?
Did she know she was here to plead, and thus was taking an inch for a mile?
This damned wretch, if not for Ziqi, how could she possibly bear to swallow her pride like this?
Damn! Once this matter is over, she’ll definitely kill her herself!
Definitely kill her!
Guan Xiaoxue took another deep breath and slowly exhaled, then continued to breathe in and out.
With some difficulty, she brought back a semblance of a smile to her face: "Nian Nian, there are some things I want to talk to you about if that’s okay?"
