Destined with You

"What do you think? You played me last time, I’m not letting you play me again. This way it’s foolproof." Bai Jingqing took out a tiny plastic bag he carried with him and carefully put Xia Tian’s hair into it.

"You took my hair without my consent, that’s illegal!" Xia Tian jumped up to grab it.

Bai Jingqing hurriedly backed away, Xia Tian lunged straight at him. Bai Jingqing was already unsteady, and with that wolf‑like pounce, the two of them went down together with the chair.

Xia Tian was fine—Bai Jingqing caught him in time and became his human cushion—but Bai Jingqing wasn’t so lucky. His head banged so hard he was dazed, the back of his skull hurt like hell, golden stars burst in front of his eyes, and his brain was buzzing.

Xia Tian quickly snatched his own hair back from his pocket, climbed off him, and ran for the exit of the restaurant.

"Second Brother, what are you doing?" Huangfu Ye rushed over and helped Bai Jingqing up.

"Don’t let him get away, that hair’s for Big Brother’s paternity test." Bai Jingqing rubbed the back of his head; it really hurt like hell.

"Second Brother, you’ve gone stupid this time, huh? If the one upstairs is really Gu Qingxin, what do you need a paternity test for! Xia Tian is definitely Big Brother’s son! You think there’s any other possibility?" Huangfu Ye said anxiously, steadying him into a seat.

"What you’re saying makes sense, but only with ironclad proof can we leave Qingxin no room to argue! Otherwise if she says Xia Tian’s not Big Brother’s son, what then?"

"Makes sense. I’ll go yank his hair again, I’ll definitely succeed this time!" Without another word, Huangfu Ye ran after Xia Tian.

But the moment he saw the little boy sitting upright in the wolf enclosure, protected in the middle by two wolves and a dog, he instantly lost his nerve.

Good lord, with this battle formation, never mind yanking Xia Tian’s hair, he couldn’t even touch Xia Tian’s clothes.

"You three, beat it!" Huangfu Ye yelled fiercely at the three animals.

The two wolves glared at him with predatory eyes, while Xiao Bai couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. The one glance it gave was pure disdain.

This was the little master. With General gone, her mission was to protect the little master and the lady of the house!

"Hong Tailang, Xiao Huihui, go!" At Xia Tian’s command, the two wolves that had been guarding him instantly rose and lunged straight at Huangfu Ye.

Huangfu Ye let out a wail and turned tail to run, scrambling out of the wolf enclosure in utter embarrassment.

Just from looking at this brat you can tell he’s Big Brother’s spawn!

...

Upstairs.

Beiming Han was still holding Gu Qingxin in a tight embrace, like if he let go for even a second, she would vanish.

"Mr. Beiming, what act are you putting on this time?" Gu Qingxin curled her lips in sarcasm, the mockery clear in her voice.

She didn’t struggle anymore; she wanted to see what exactly he was trying to do.

"Xin’er, I know you’re mad at me. I’m begging you, give me another chance. I swear I’ll use the rest of my life to make it up to you, to love you." Beiming Han held her tightly, his face pressed against hers.

"If your girlfriend heard you say that, she’d probably be over the moon. But I don’t understand a word of what you’re saying. Let me go first. Don’t worry, I won’t run. We can sit down and talk properly, okay?"

"I’m not letting go. I’m never letting you go again, not ever. In this life, in every life, I won’t let go." Beiming Han stubbornly clung to her. Thinking of the suffering she’d endured, he truly hated himself. He knew that even dying to atone wouldn’t be too much—but he couldn’t bear to leave her. He had to live; only by living could he go on loving her.
