Destined with You

"That was... my mistake." Beiming Han initially wanted to say it was an accident, but he felt the accident was his fault—it was because he didn’t protect her well enough.

"Mommy, I’ll head back first. When you’re done talking with him, come to my room and find me." Xia Tian obediently jumped off Mommy’s lap, glared at Beiming Han, and quickly ran away.

"Let’s go to the study and talk." Beiming Han stood up and walked to the side, looking at her.

Gu Qingxin stood up but didn’t move. Seeing this, Beiming Han took the first step, and Gu Qingxin slowly followed behind him.

However...

Beiming Han didn’t stop at the study and continued towards the bedroom. Gu Qingxin frowned as she watched him, and calmly reminded him, "Your study is right here!"

What exactly is this heartless man trying to do?

Wants to take her to the bedroom?

Hmph~~ He really is impatient!

Gu Qingxin inexplicably felt a bit angry.

Beiming Han turned around, his gaze becoming profound. "How do you know this is the study? You don’t seem unfamiliar with North Garden!"

Gu Qingxin was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said, "I’ve been here before, so of course I know this is the study."

"I have more than one study, follow me." Beiming Han turned and continued walking forward.

Gu Qingxin was grinding her teeth in anger, thinking she wasn’t stupid—it’s obviously the bedroom ahead!

But she couldn’t say it outright!

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Beiming Han didn’t hear footsteps behind him and turned to look at her.

"If we’re going to talk, let’s talk here!" Gu Qingxin said, then turned and pushed open the study door.

Beiming Han saw her looking like that, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He didn’t force her further and went back into the study.

Gu Qingxin entered and sat on the sofa. Beiming Han came over and sat on the side sofa. He asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"No need, let’s get straight to the point. What exactly do you want in order to let Xia Tian go?" Gu Qingxin questioned.

"I’ve already answered this question." Beiming Han said, staring at her, as he took out his phone and instructed the butler to bring some juice upstairs.

Beiming Han’s answer was firm—he wanted her!

"Impossible! I absolutely cannot agree to your ridiculous terms unless—I’ve lost my mind! You better give up on it!" Gu Qingxin spoke without leaving any room for compromise.

"Is it because of Rong Qianchen? He’s not worthy of you!" Beiming Han recalled tonight’s marriage proposal, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"That’s my personal business, seems unrelated to Mr. Beiming, doesn’t it? If you have no sincerity to discuss with me, then I’ll find a way to leave with Xia Tian directly." Gu Qingxin’s attitude hardened.

"As long as I don’t let anyone go, neither you nor Xia Tian can leave, and you must stay."

"Does Mr. Beiming mean to imprison us mother and son? Then I should ask this country’s President whether that’s considered illegal." Gu Qingxin was somewhat angry.

The sound of knocking on the door broke the tension. The butler opened the door and entered the room, feeling the pressure of the stiff atmosphere. When he inadvertently caught sight of the slap mark on Beiming Han’s face, he nearly exclaimed but managed to suppress it in time.

"Miss, please have some juice. Young Master, your milk." The butler placed the two drinks down and prepared to leave.

"Prepare some women’s sleepwear." Beiming Han instructed.

Gu Qingxin had lost the desire to deal with him and stood up to leave.
