Chapter 1349: I’m Her Man!
"Nian Nian is your..." Jing Hanye raised his brows.
"Nian Nian is Grandpa’s god-granddaughter, and also my little sister." Feng Yan met his gaze. "This matter, I’ll trouble you with it."
The maid prepared tableware for the two who had just arrived and, along with the other maids, brought out quite a few hot dishes.
"Jin’s little sister is also my little sister. With the relationship between me and your Second Brother, this kind of thing isn’t worth mentioning."
Jing Hanye’s lips curved slightly as he watched the girl opening the medicine box.
"The little girl is pretty good. No wonder Grandpa Gu likes her. Look, even the Seventh Young Master came."
"I’m not her brother, I’m her man!" Gu Beicheng wrapped an arm around Xia Yinian and pulled her over, his cold, sharp gaze landing on Jing Hanye.
Xia Yinian still had gauze in her hand; being yanked into his arms like that left her a little dazed.
In the man’s embrace, looking at the other two men, her face went whoosh and turned completely red.
"I... cough..." She swallowed and lowered her head.
"Knock it off." Xia Yinian pushed Gu Beicheng’s hand away and sat up from his arms.
"Your hand is this badly injured. If it’s not treated and gets infected, it could be life-threatening, understand?"
"Mm, it hurts a little." Gu Beicheng withdrew his gaze; not just his voice, his whole demeanor softened.
This sudden change, plus that tinglingly sweet line, nearly made Feng Yan roll his eyes on the spot.
The Seventh Young Master of Ye City, in front of outsiders, really can’t be bothered about his image.
Hurts a little... he really didn’t mishear, did he?
"You know it hurts, yet you still don’t take better care." Xia Yinian took the tweezers from the medicine box, about to treat his wound.
"Nian Nian, let’s eat first, I’m hungry." Gu Beicheng’s utterly exasperating voice rang out again.
He actually didn’t mean anything bad by it; he just didn’t want his woman eating cold dishes.
But what Gu Beicheng didn’t realize was that his behavior and words had long since refreshed the image others had of him in their hearts.
Still, Gu Beicheng couldn’t care less about that. With the little girl by his side fussing over him, he was perfectly content.
Reaching out his other hand, he took what she was holding and put it back into the box.
"Let’s eat first, yeah? Everyone’s waiting." Gu Beicheng said with a soft smile.
Only after lifting her eyes to glance at the other two men did Xia Yinian feel a bit embarrassed, especially toward Jing Hanye.
He’d invited her to a meal, and it had gone through so many twists and turns; up to now, he hadn’t eaten much at all.
No matter what, since Young Master Jing could finally taste food tonight, she couldn’t very well keep them waiting.
Just now she’d been focused solely on the wound on Beicheng’s hand, and had really overlooked a lot of things.
"Okay." Xia Yinian nodded and looked at Jing Hanye. "Young Master Jing, sorry! That was my professional habit kicking in."
"It’s fine." Jing Hanye looked at her and replied softly.
Gu Beicheng had already been a bit displeased with Xia Yinian’s "professional habit kicking in," and seeing the way Jing Hanye was looking at his woman, he became even more disdainful.
Pulling the medicine box aside, he picked up the bowl Xia Yinian had been drinking from and downed the soup in one go.
"Nian Nian, another bowl."
Even though the soup was right there at his elbow, he still held the bowl out in front of Xia Yinian.
"Mm." Xia Yinian certainly didn’t mind serving him.
In just these few short hours, her man had probably suffered quite a bit. Same with Third Brother. It was all because she herself had been too careless.
Taking the bowl, she ladled him another bowl of soup, completely forgetting he was using her tableware.
