Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Has Uncle Become Dumb?

After a while, she heard the sound of steady breathing behind her, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, she was deceiving him. She had already had it when she first arrived at Yaoshan, and it had already cleared up two days ago.

Unexpectedly, Uncle did not suspect a thing.

If this lie were exposed, Xia Yinian didn’t know what kind of punishment she would face.

So, it’s better to go to sleep early.

Telling a lie to Uncle isn’t something she dares to do often.

And more importantly, how hard it is to deceive this man, Xia Yinian is well aware of.

This time, she actually succeeded. Was it because he truly cares about her that he became foolish?

Lying quietly in his embrace, she went over the words he had said tonight in her head, and Xia Yinian’s breathing gradually became even.

Not long after she fell asleep, Gu Beicheng gently turned her over to face him.

Realizing she wakes easily, he truly couldn’t bear to leave her alone.

Xia Yinian made a soft sound, snuggling into his chest again, and fell into a deep sleep once more.

Gu Beicheng extended his large hand to her tummy and gently rubbed it.

He had heard that when women have that period, their stomachs feel uncomfortable. He wondered whether Nian Nian was feeling the same.

Only when his throat felt terribly dry did he withdraw his hand and close his eyes.

That night, with him there, Xia Yinian had the most restful sleep she’d had in days.

And unsurprisingly, so did Gu Beicheng.

...

In the following days, Xia Yinian mostly stayed at the Feng Family, occasionally going to Hengshi Cosmetics Group when escorted personally by Feng Yan.

It’s undeniable that with Xia Yinian’s help, several newly developed projects of the Cosmetic Group were quickly settled.

They are still attempting the projects she personally developed, and if both succeed, the Cosmetic Group will reach new heights.

Whenever she has free time, Xia Yinian spends it with the Old Master.

She provides the Old Master with not only physical treatment but often chats with him about their past.

The Old Master’s vitality seems much improved, a fact witnessed by all. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Nian Nian, not asleep yet?" Feng Yan walked in from outside the room.

Without permission, no one could freely enter the main house.

Besides ensuring the Old Master’s safety, it successfully protected Xia Yinian.

The door to the Old Master’s room is usually left open, allowing them to monitor the elder’s condition at any time.

"Getting ready to sleep. Third Young Master, aren’t you asleep yet?" Xia Yinian glanced at the person who entered.

"You can call me by my name from now on." Feng Yan remarked, observing the girl still massaging the Old Master, noting she looked well.

Xia Yinian’s gaze had already returned to the Old Master’s legs. Hearing his words, she furrowed her brow slightly, then smiled softly.

"’Third Young Master’ sounds too formal, and Grandpa doesn’t like it either." Feng Yan added.

"Oh." Xia Yinian nodded in understanding, "Ah Yen."

She intentionally imitated Gu Beicheng’s tone, feeling as if this man was right beside her.

"Very good." Feng Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Go rest first; you’ve been busy all day." Xia Yinian continued.

"I’m fine. Aren’t you tired?" Feng Yan came to the bedside and gently took the Old Master’s hand.

His fingertips accurately pressed on his acupoints, also attempting to loosen the Old Master’s muscles.

"Just a little, but looking at Grandpa, I don’t feel tired." Xia Yinian continued her light massage.

"You’ve worked hard these past days." Feng Yan said softly.
