Chapter 1351: I’m Jealous, So What
"Mm." Jing Hanye nodded, "Nian Nian, don’t forget our agreement."
Leaving behind a meaningful smile, he continued walking forward.
"Young Master Jing, don’t worry, I won’t forget." Xia Yinian looked at him and responded.
Jing Hanye nodded again but did not turn back.
"If you need anything, just tell the servants here, I have things to do."
"Okay, thank you." Xia Yinian smiled at him before retracting her gaze.
The girl who was originally planning to continue picking glass from the man’s flesh was suddenly stunned by a glance she couldn’t ignore.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Yinian glanced at Gu Beicheng, then lowered her head to continue her actions.
"What kind of agreement do you have with that guy?" Gu Beicheng’s voice suddenly became much lower.
Xia Yinian paused briefly, then quickly resumed her actions.
So, her man was jealous.
However, the agreement between her and Young Master Jing wasn’t something that couldn’t be spoken of, but it involved someone’s privacy, and she had promised to keep it confidential.
"It’s nothing, just agreed to help him with something." She answered casually.
"Are you very familiar with him?"
From the tone, it seemed like Seventh Young Master didn’t really like this Young Master Jing, but what the exact situation was, nobody could tell.
"Today is the first time we met, would you say that’s familiar?" Xia Yinian looked up at him briefly.
"Don’t overthink it, Young Master Jing saved me, and I agreed to help him with some medical assistance. If I can help, he’ll even pay money."
"You could say, he’s my client, it’s that simple, Seventh Young Master, aren’t you..." she raised an eyebrow, "jealous?"
Originally, she thought the man would say, "How is that possible? How could I be jealous?" But unexpectedly, the Seventh Young Master responded with,
"I am jealous."
With his "I’m like this, what can I do?" demeanor, Xia Yinian truly couldn’t do anything about him.
Pressing her lips together, Xia Yinian lightly exhaled and continued to lower her head to clean his wound.
"What’s there to be jealous about? Is he as handsome as you?"
With a casual compliment from her, the cold atmosphere around the man diminished significantly.
"Of course not." A large hand slid over her small face, and he had the strong urge to hug her tightly and kiss her passionately.
But this was someone else’s place, and there were other people around. His woman was easily shy, so this matter should wait.
"You don’t need clients; having me alone is enough, understand?"
Before Xia Yinian could react to his boastful words, she was suddenly moved again.
She pressed her lips together, not raising her head.
"I don’t want to always live under your or my family’s protection; I want to grow stronger with my own abilities. You understand this, don’t you?"
Gu Beicheng didn’t say anything; he understood of course.
If he forcefully clipped her wings, no matter how much he provided her, she wouldn’t be happy.
This was why, even knowing Bing City wasn’t safe, he was still willing to let her come over.
Alchemy was her pursuit, and he couldn’t be so selfish.
"Today, I was very worried about you." Gu Beicheng spoke softly.
Xia Yinian raised her gaze to meet his, her eyes slightly reddening.
"I’ll be more careful in the future."
Giving him a faint smile, Xia Yinian took out disinfectant from the medical kit.
"I’m going to start disinfecting your wound now, bear with it."
Watching the man nod, she took a cotton ball dipped in iodine and gently dabbed it on his wound.
