Chapter 1350: When It Comes to Scheming, No One Can Match Him
The dinner for two turned into a gathering of four, yet the dining room was even quieter than before.
However, this was a feeling Xia Yinian enjoyed.
At least, her loved ones were here; they didn’t have to be running around, and the same went for Third Brother.
Xia Yinian occasionally took a bite; occasionally, she would glance at the two men who meant a lot to her, and of course, she also had to tend to the lord beside her.
Busy as it was, her heart felt content.
After dinner, the group moved to the living room.
Jing Hanye and Feng Yan were savoring tea, chatting occasionally.
Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng sat on the other side, while the man leaned back on the sofa, his gaze anchored solely on the girl.
"Hold on a bit longer, it’ll be over soon. There’s still glass inside. How did you do this? You wouldn’t have done it on purpose, would you?"
Watching the glass shards embedded in the flesh, Xia Yinian felt heartbroken and could only complain a little, hoping it would ease her mind.
However, her heart still ached, and of course, she felt a bit guilty.
Upon hearing, "You wouldn’t have done it on purpose, would you?" Chi He’s back felt a bit cold.
The Seventh Young Master seemed to have done it on purpose, and there was a hint of trying to look cool. Not sure if Miss Niannian would refuse to treat Seventh Young Master after finding out.
He pursed his lips, worried he might blurt something out.
Yet, on one side was his beloved woman, and on the other was his own mother. The Seventh Young Master must not have been in a good mood at the time and might have made mistakes.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Did I hit the nail on the head, or does it really hurt?" Xia Yinian put down a small piece of glass and met the man’s gaze.
"It really hurts." Gu Beicheng lightly pursed his lips, saying something that didn’t seem like him.
Chi He gulped and glanced over at Feng Yan, who was lightly coughing.
Ever since the Seventh Young Master fell in love, he had been like this. Third Young Master probably wasn’t used to it yet; anyway, he himself was.
However, there were probably many more things to get used to.
"Alright, I’ll be gentler." Meeting the pleading gaze of Seventh Young Master, Xia Yinian found herself unable to get angry.
She could almost guess how the injury happened; it was all because of her—so why should she be angry?
"Mm." Gu Beicheng nodded with satisfaction, his other hand still not forgetting to gently pat Xia Yinian’s head.
"Since Nian Nian is fine, I’ll head back now." Feng Yan stood up.
His words were directed at Gu Beicheng, but Gu Beicheng showed no intention to look at him.
Feng Yan helplessly shifted his gaze to Jing Hanye.
"Thank you for the dinner."
"No need to be polite! You’re busy, I won’t keep you. Nian Nian is here, you can rest assured."
Jing Hanye stood up, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.
"Then I’ll really trouble you. The little girl has a competition and might stay in Bing City for a few more days." Feng Yan nodded.
"Not a problem." Jing Hanye replied with a smile.
Seeing Feng Yan out, Jing Hanye walked back to the living room.
"Seventh Young Master, will you be staying here tonight?" He looked at Gu Beicheng.
"Okay." Gu Beicheng raised an eyebrow.
When everyone asked if he would stay, his answer had the feel of reluctantly agreeing to someone’s invitation.
Seventh Young Master was indeed unique; when it came to cunning, he remained unmatched.
"Alright." Jing Hanye turned to Yui Ji, "Arrange three guest rooms."
"Yes, young master." Yui Ji nodded and went to give instructions.
"Two rooms will be enough." Gu Beicheng’s gaze was full of provocation.
"Three rooms." Xia Yinian glared at him and then turned to look at Jing Hanye standing not far away.
