Chapter 1143 - 1147: Shyness
"Brother Yao, then I’ll stay with you; I want to go back with you, okay?" Gu Ziqian weakly pleaded in a low voice.Such a delicate voice is irresistible to men, but who is Beitang Yao? He easily refused, "Ziqian, don’t be disobedient!" Just a few simple words, yet they carried immense persuasive power.
When Gu Ziqian on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, Beitang Yao cut her off, and after hanging up, his expression was somewhat grim.
Xia Qingqian was somewhat concerned. She bit her lip, frowned slightly, and softly asked, "Weren’t we supposed to return home today? Is there something you haven’t finished yet?"
"Finish your meal first." He placed his phone on the table, speaking indifferently. The meeting was over, and the work here could be set aside. Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and made a call: "Ye Feng, you’re responsible for escorting Gu Ziqian back home and delivering her to the Gu Family."
While Xia Qingqian was eating, Beitang Yao made several phone calls, including one to Nancy. Hearing Nancy’s name, her nose inexplicably tingled, and she swallowed her sobs.
Nancy is Qiao Zhenyu’s biological brother, and his current heart was left by Qiao Zhenyu. She would soon see Qiao Zhenyu, but why did she feel so uncomfortable? Was it because she couldn’t go back?
She really didn’t know what identity she should use to face Qiao Zhenyu’s heart... Her feelings were extremely complicated. As she blinked lightly, she felt her eyes slightly dampen, causing her body to tremble, and she quickly forced herself back to reality.
She belongs to the Young Master now, even if things between her and the Young Master ended at this moment, she couldn’t return to the past, because she was no longer who she used to be, no longer the pure her in Qiao Zhenyu’s mind.
After Beitang Yao paid the bill, he held the full Xia Qingqian and left. All along the way until they got in the car, he showed no intention of letting her go. This made Xia Qingqian even more uneasy; his status didn’t allow him to do this, openly holding a woman like that. If someone saw, it wouldn’t be good for him, especially if it reached the Beitang Family and Gu Family.
She thought about struggling, but his grip only grew stronger, with no intention of letting her slip away. He disliked her conscious efforts to maintain a distance; if he didn’t mind, why should she?
"Who told you to act so coyly?" His strength increased, and he heard the sound he wanted.
Pinched into some pain, she let out a muffled groan, raised her eyes to look at him faintly, and said softly with a frown, "You pinched my scar, it hurts!"
"I did it on purpose!" He readily admitted the fault, with an honest look, as if he truly intended to punish her.
She was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. She could only endure the pain of being pinched by him. In fact, her heart was also aching. She didn’t know how the Young Master viewed her, which left her somewhat disappointed. Beside Beitang Yao, she always couldn’t find herself, much less the value of her existence.
Beitang Yao’s gaze swept over her profile, seeing her beautiful brows slightly knitted, with an indescribable subtle sadness between them.
She was the kind of woman with a very weak presence, one that if thrown into the street, you couldn’t find her no matter what. Not because she wasn’t beautiful, but because her presence was genuinely so faint, so faint that you couldn’t believe this person had ever existed.
