Chapter 1147: Nian Nian’s Words—Remember to Take Responsibility
Gu Beicheng grasped her shoulders with both hands, making her face him."Remember what Nian Nian said, you have to take responsibility. I really have to leave now, don’t look for me for the time being. I’ll call you when I have time."
He gave Xia Yinian a reassuring look, released her, and turned to leave.
It wasn’t until the man disappeared from her sight that Xia Yinian reacted.
This guy, it turns out, wasn’t using the bathroom at all. Even when time was so tight, he still had the mood to come back and amuse her.
Although she felt a bit aggrieved in her heart, seeing the man’s optimistic attitude, she was finally relieved.
He’s the Seventh Young Master; how could anything happen to him so easily?
The girl murmured with pursed lips, exhaled lightly, and strode out.
Gu Beicheng had just left the villa when Chi He hurried over.
"Seventh Young Master..."
"..."
Looking at Chi He’s appearance, it was clear that time was already extremely scarce.
The two men left side by side, Chi He explaining things all along the way, while Gu Beicheng’s face was completely expressionless.
...
Xia Chuxue rested in her place for less than an hour before dialing Feng Yan’s number.
"Brother Yan."
"What’s up?" The man’s voice was very indifferent.
A month of neglect, and unexpectedly, even after she achieved his goals and returned, he remained so cold to her, colder than toward a stranger.
Xia Chuxue bit her lip, forcing herself not to mind.
"I want to see Grandpa, I miss him." she said softly.
No pleading, just a granddaughter’s pure longing for an elder.
"Okay, I’ll be back around noon."
Feng Yan left a sentence, ending the call.
Xia Chuxue put down the phone, stepped gracefully into the bathroom.
But, upon seeing her reflection, her calm composure was thrown completely out the window.
If it were the old her, she’d definitely scream.
But now, no matter how much she shouted, it would only attract some people she didn’t care about, so there’s no need.
Doing a face mask, choosing clothes, putting on makeup... In just over an hour, time flew by.
Seeing it was already past eleven, Xia Chuxue simply wore the flat white shoes He Shuya had just prepared, and left the villa.
Today’s Xia Chuxue shed the lavish clothes, dressing with a touch of the girl-next-door vibe.
The tanned areas were barely covered, and she didn’t bother to handle it too deliberately.
She arrived outside the main house, at the place guarded by bodyguards, and stopped there, finding a long bench by the roadside to sit.
Noticing her, some of the bodyguards approached her.
"Lady Chuxue, anything you need?"
"No." Xia Chuxue waved her hand, "I’m meeting with Brother Yan; he said he’d take me in to see Grandpa."
"Should I inform the Third Young Master?" the bodyguard continued to ask.
"No need." Xia Chuxue waved her hand again, "I came early, you can go about your business."
"Yes, Lady Chuxue." The bodyguard turned and left.
When Feng Yan returned, it was almost one in the afternoon.
Xia Chuxue sat alone on the bench, her slender frame gave a feeling that even a gentle breeze could move her.
The returning people weren’t just Feng Yan; there were also Xia Yinian and Qin Yiheng in disguise.
Seeing the silhouette she’d been yearning for, Xia Chuxue immediately stood up from the bench.
Perhaps because she had sat for too long, her legs buckled, and she almost fell.
"Lady Chuxue." A nearby maid noticed and hurried over.
