Chapter 1146: Don’t Want to Take Responsibility Now?
When Xia Yinian heard "things might not be peaceful in Yaoshan lately" from Beicheng’s mouth, what she immediately thought was "things definitely won’t be peaceful in Yaoshan lately."If he were just a normal businessman, such unrest shouldn’t be something he has to deal with.
Xia Yinian nodded, dropped the clothes on the ground, pressed herself against him, and hugged his waist.
"Beicheng, do you... have another identity?"
"Yes." Gu Beicheng didn’t hesitate at all in confirming her answer.
"However, the less you know about these things, the better. Naturally, the more people know, the more dangerous it becomes for me."
Xia Yinian closed her eyes, suddenly feeling as if her man was about to go to war at the frontier.
This thought was a bit exaggerated, yet maintaining stability in this society isn’t as easy as imagined.
He trusted her so much, and Xia Yinian’s heart felt sweet.
However, thinking about her man being in danger, she couldn’t help but worry.
"I understand. I won’t mention this to anyone, but..." She raised her head to look at him, pressing her lips together.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to me. There’s still a wife and mom waiting at home, right?"
"Who’s your wife? Aren’t you ashamed?" Xia Yinian glanced at the man who was a head taller than her.
Knowing he was going out to do dangerous things, she didn’t want him to have too many concerns and could only pretend to be more relaxed.
"Why? You tempted me all night last night, and now you don’t want to take responsibility?" Gu Beicheng met her gaze, raising an eyebrow.
"When did I? Clearly, you are the one who goes back on your words!" Xia Yinian immediately retorted.
"Really didn’t? Then why are you blushing?" Gu Beicheng smiled.
"You’re the one lacking integrity?" Xia Yinian released him, picking up the clothes from the ground.
Gu Beicheng pulled her back into his arms with one hand, giving her lips a light kiss.
"Wait for me to come back, okay?" He looked at her, serious and earnest.
Xia Yinian bit her lip, nodding.
"Okay."
Gu Beicheng kissed her forehead one more time before letting her go.
The man turned and left, and Xia Yinian watched his back without blinking, suddenly rushing over to hug his waist from behind.
"I’ll always wait for you, until you drive me away."
With a message left behind, the girl turned and ran into the bathroom, shutting the door.
Looking at the nervous and slightly shy face in the mirror, Xia Yinian took a deep breath.
Did she just confess to Beicheng? In just over half a month’s time, their relationship seemed to have developed rapidly.
But it also felt unrealistically fast.
Xia Yinian patted her face with both hands, returned to the door, and pressed her ear against the frosted glass door.
If he hadn’t left yet, she’d be too embarrassed to go out, but her clothes hadn’t been brought in.
Unexpectedly, just as her little face and ear pressed against the glass door, the bathroom door was knocked from outside.
"Nian Nian, open the door!" Gu Beicheng’s voice came through.
Looking at the silhouette on the glass, the man’s smile grew more concentrated.
The phone rang; he took it out and silenced it.
"I’m using the toilet," Xia Yinian quickly pulled her head back, "Go to work, there’s nothing wrong."
"Could I use it first? Chi He is pushing me hard." Gu Beicheng smiled.
Having heard the ringtone just now, Xia Yinian didn’t dare to be mischievous anymore and immediately opened the door.
"Then you come in first." The girl was still shy about what seemed like a confession.
