Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: With Him Here, She Can Be Even More Willful
Gu Beicheng furrowed his brow slightly and asked in a soft voice, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"So you had so much you were hiding from me." Xia Yinian pursed her lips, placed a hand on her waist, and nudged his hand away.
She was referring to her own background, but she didn’t dare to speak up now.
This matter involved too many people, so many that she couldn’t even imagine, so she really dared not.
"It’s not the right time yet." Gu Beicheng kissed the top of her head, his large hand still firmly holding her waist.
His gaze deepened, but Xia Yinian didn’t see it.
"Forget it, we’re just in a casual relationship anyway, you don’t have to tell me." The girl sighed softly.
She knew she was being a bit capricious, but now it was a bit difficult for her to stay out of it.
On one hand, there’s the older sister she’s lived with for over twenty years; on the other, there’s the man who’s doted on her for a while. Who should she trust?
"Casual relationship?" Gu Beicheng was obviously dissatisfied with that description.
"Then... what would you call it?" Xia Yinian raised an eyebrow and asked softly.
"Family." Gu Beicheng used his other hand to hold Xia Yinian’s chin, making her face him.
Just a simple word, yet it moved Xia Yinian deeply.
All she ever wanted was a family, but this matter happening to her made it so hard.
Looking into those round, gem-like eyes, Gu Beicheng gently kissed her forehead.
"Aren’t you family if you’re willing to wait at home for me to return?" The man raised an eyebrow, looking serious.
Xia Yinian was moved but quickly brought herself back to reality.
"That’s because the Seventh Young Master likes to keep a treasure hidden, and I’m just the one you’re hiding away."
She shot him a glance and then evaded his long fingers, lowering her head.
Perhaps she wasn’t really bothered by such things; after all, she chose to stay willingly.
It’s just that now she really didn’t want to be too invested in this relationship. No matter what, she had to investigate personally before saying anything further.
"I still need a little time. During this period, you’ll have to bear with it." Gu Beicheng’s long fingers gently slid across Xia Yinian’s cheek.
The unique touch made Xia Yinian really not want to doubt him, but...
"I want to go back to see Grandpa." Suddenly, she looked up and met his gaze.
"Alright, I’ll take you back." Gu Beicheng nodded.
She had already confirmed just now, but Beicheng had told her to stay, and she hadn’t expected he’d agree so easily to let her go back now.
"Okay." She nodded, struggled a bit, and sat up in his arms, "You take a rest, I’ll go pack some things first."
"No rush." Gu Beicheng didn’t realize she meant to go back immediately.
He reached out to pull her back but she easily dodged him.
Thinking about his current situation, Gu Beicheng felt a bit of regret for letting this little girl participate in the training.
Now, wanting to easily pin her down without hurting her seemed a bit difficult.
"No, I want to see Grandpa immediately, I’ve been thinking about him these past few days."
Xia Yinian left and started to pack.
Watching that busy little figure, Gu Beicheng felt like he might have done something he’d regret again.
Did he spoil her too much, letting her become so bold?
Though he really liked seeing her frightened under him, he also cherished the real Xia Yinian now beyond measure.
Alright then, he had said it himself, that with him, she could be more willful.
