Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Doing What You Like

With both hands holding her small body, Gu Beicheng looked at her with eyes full of tenderness.

"Tell me, what’s really going on, okay?"

Such a gentle Seventh Young Master made Xia Yinian feel overwhelmed.

She pursed her lips and looked up to meet his gaze.

"You treat me so well, I’m afraid I’ll become greedier and greedier."

"But I always feel like I’m not good enough to you." Gu Beicheng lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "Besides, you have the right to be greedy."

For a moment, Xia Yinian was almost won over by his sweet words. Indeed, he wasn’t as good to her as Brother Ling Qian was, but he carried so many responsibilities on his shoulders.

Perhaps, he was doing many things that were beyond his control.

So, was it also beyond his control to be good to her?

Xia Yinian wasn’t usually a suspicious person, but she really didn’t have much confidence in front of Gu Beicheng.

Besides having the appearance he liked, it seemed she had nothing else.

In terms of alchemy, she still needed to put in more effort to truly be of help to him.

So, Xia Yinian really didn’t have much confidence in herself.

Thinking about this, she even felt quite useless, thinking, after all, he’s just another man, why bother?

"Oh, I understand." The girl nodded and slid down from his lap.

Before Gu Beicheng could say anything more, Xia Yinian crawled into the bed.

"Let’s sleep, there’s more to do tomorrow."

The girl who said "I understand" seemed not very satisfied with her own answer.

The usually confident Gu Beicheng was confused by the person lying on the bed.

This scenario was completely different from what he imagined.

Xia Yinian turned her back to Gu Beicheng, unsure of what he was thinking.

But after two or three minutes, he still didn’t make any move, which really surprised her.

The two of them were already lying on the same bed, was she being too sensitive just now?

Hearing the sound of the man drinking behind her, she closed her eyes and didn’t turn around.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the glass was placed back on the table, the man turned off the light in the room.

The contrast in light made Xia Yinian open her eyes sharply.

Beicheng turned off the light, wasn’t he just a minute ago acting a bit coy? Could it be because of something she said, it softened his heart?

Feeling the person behind moving closer, Xia Yinian closed her eyes again.

He wasn’t under the influence of any medicine, so she couldn’t care too much about it.

Gu Beicheng wrapped the girl in his arms and then stopped moving.

This was exactly the outcome he wanted, at least he was with her not because of her body.

But with the person behind her making no movement, Xia Yinian actually found it hard to fall asleep.

The familiar scent surrounded them, and Xia Yinian couldn’t tell whether it was her body heating up or the man’s embrace being too warm.

The room stayed quiet for at least ten minutes, yet Xia Yinian’s mind couldn’t settle down.

The more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn’t, and even her breathing became more erratic.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Beicheng turned Xia Yinian over to face him.

Yet Xia Yinian kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

Unfortunately, her breathing had already given her away.

"If you really are asleep, I won’t be polite." Gu Beicheng slightly curled his lips and his large hand, which was on her waist, slipped inside her clothes.

The different sensation made Xia Yinian shiver, and she had to open her eyes.

"What... are you doing?"

"Doing what you... like doing." Gu Beicheng said unabashedly.
