Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Temporary Girlfriend

If she were Xia Yinian right now, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Unfortunately, she is just a stranger that Beicheng thinks looks familiar.

He thought she and Brother Leng were a couple, and he probably hasn’t figured out her identity yet, so the situation isn’t too optimistic.

Xia Yinian unconsciously swallowed a gulp, not daring to speak further.

"What if I say I genuinely want to get to know you, would you be interested?"

Gu Beicheng’s words took everyone by surprise.

However, Qin Yiheng and Leng Zhishuo didn’t react much, as if they had already accepted one fact.

That is, Gu Beicheng already knows Xia Yinian’s true identity.

In fact, when Xia Yinian suggested hiding it from the Seventh Young Master, neither of them thought it possible.

Xia Yinian blinked, raised her eyes to meet Gu Beicheng’s gaze, and quickly looked away.

"Seventh Young Master, you’re quite good at... joking." She stammered.

"No, I don’t like to joke." Gu Beicheng looked at the woman before him, a sly smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"I have a girlfriend, but she’s far away in Yaoshan. If I have a couple of temporary girlfriends, she won’t find out."

"I wonder if this lady minds being my temporary girlfriend?"

Suppressing the humor in his face, Gu Beicheng instantly became more serious.

Xia Yinian forced a smile, certainly not because she was happy, but perhaps because she was too surprised.

Is this guy serious? His girlfriend in Yaoshan might be referring to her, but now that she’s not here, he actually said he wants a temporary one?

Xia Yinian’s expression is clearly displeased.

Seeing her like this, Gu Beicheng finally felt a bit better.

Despite her good intentions, he absolutely didn’t want her to come back and take risks.

"Seems my charm isn’t that great, forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything just now." Gu Beicheng raised a brow, leaning back on the sofa.

"Yiheng, you can start attending to their matters, but I hope it won’t take more than ten minutes."

"Don’t worry, I’m not one for gossip, what they have to discuss won’t be known by a fifth person."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Beicheng rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.

When Xia Yinian looked up, she happened to see him rubbing his temples.

Is he very tired? She was upset earlier, but now she feels a bit sour.

In his busy state, she hasn’t been able to help him, and instead became a burden.

Is it because he’s too tired, and hasn’t found an outlet, that he wants a temporary girlfriend? That night, after traveling a long distance, she apparently made him hold back all night.

But, despite this reason, she cannot allow him to think about finding a temporary girlfriend.

Annoyed, Xia Yinian directly forgot about why she came today.

"Since the appointment is with you all, you should talk first. Everyone should know the Seventh Young Master’s character, plus he’s my best friend, you can rest assured."

Qin Yiheng looked at Xia Yinian and nodded lightly.

The one looking for him must be her, not Zhishuo, so Qin Yiheng’s target was focused on Xia Yinian.

Moreover, he was well aware that Beicheng had taken an interest in what this girl had said; otherwise, how could he just sit here instead of returning to his study room?

Girlfriend? Temporary girlfriend? It sounds truly exciting.

Qin Yiheng studies psychology, and after a brief observation earlier, he has a rough idea of what’s going on.
