Upon hearing the voice, Beiming Han raised his head and briefly glanced at the entrance, his indifferent gaze lingered on Gu Qingxin’s small face for a mere second before it moved away, behaving as though he didn’t know her at all.
“Girl, what are you dawdling for? Come and sit here.” Beiming Lingyun laughed and called out to Gu Qingxin.
With her eyelashes lowered, Gu Qingxin, nervously walked over and sat beside the old man, followed silently by Bai Qianqian, who took a seat next to her.
A young woman around her mid-twenties was seated beside Beiming Han. She wore a white dress and had beautiful, dyed light brown curls. She was pretty and had an exceptional temperament – it was clear at a glance that she hailed from a privileged family.
“Grandpa Beiming, is this the young lady who d blood to you?” Long Xuxu’s gaze fell on Gu Qingxin, her smile was warm and friendly.
“Yes, indeed. If not for her voluntarily donating blood that day, you all might not have seen me anymore. Qingxin, let me introduce you. This is my grandson Beiming Han, and this is Miss Xuxu from the Long Family.”
“Nice to meet you, Young Master Beiming and Miss Long.”
Since Beiming Han pretended not to recognize her, Gu Qingxin naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to say she knew him. She acted as if they were meeting for the first time and greeted the two accordingly.
“And who might this friend of yours be?” Beiming Lingyun’s gaze fell on Bai Qianqian’s small face.
“Good day, sir. My name is Bai Qianqian. Thank you for assisting me earlier.” Bai Qianqian politely expressed her gratitude.
Beiming Lingyun nodded at her, turned his head to Gu Qingxin and said, “When 1 came, the two kids saw me and came to greet me, so 1 just invited them to join us. You don’t mind, right?”
Gu Qingxin was unsure whether her facial expression was natural or not; in reality, she was falling apart inside.
Although she had guessed that Beiming Lingyun and Beiming Han were related, she never imagined that she would encounter them together at a meal and that they were actually grandfather and grandson.
The food was quickly served. Beiming Lingyun occasionally chatted with Gu Qingxin about the family, creating a nice atmosphere. Beiming Han never looked at Gu Qingxin and remained rather silent in his grandfather’s presence, quietly sipping his drink.
Long Xuxu attentively served him food, the affection in her eyes evident, anyone could tell she was infatuated with the man by her side.
The fact that they were dining together and Beiming Lingyun’s words left no room for doubt about their relationship.
“What happened to your finger? Why is it so badly injured?” Beiming Lingyun’s gaze fell on his grandson’s face, his expression marked with displeasure.
“A small wild cat we’ve recently taken in at home bit me while 1 was feeding her.” Beiming Han casually replied, his gaze sweeping over the girl directly opposite him.
Gu Qingxin, who was in the middle of eating, nearly choked. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth to avoid any embarrassment.
“Qingxin, Qianqian, I’m going to touch up my makeup, do you want to come with me?”
Long Xuxu put down her chopsticks and gently made the offer.
“Sure.” Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian didn’t really need to touch up their makeup, but they did want to use the restroom.
Gu Qingxin also wanted to take a breather…
The three girls left the private dining room together. Both Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian thought highly of Long Xuxu. They found her to be caring, generous, and down-to-earth during their brief interaction.
After returning from the restroom, Long Xuxu went to the makeup room, while Bai Qianqian was still in the bathroom. Gu Qingxin was intending to wash her hands, when suddenly she was hugged from behind. The next moment, she was pulled into a makeup room, and when she raised her head, she met Beiming Han’s cold, dark eyes….
