Chapter 330: Chapter 335: What did I do wrong again?
Seeing Bai Jingqing’s familiar smile, Gu Qingxin felt a sense of normality returning. She must have been overthinking. Bai Qianqian was interested in Doctor Bai’s younger brother, so they couldn’t possibly be involved in anyway.
Her hand aching from a squeeze, Gu Qingxin turned her head only to see Beiming Han’s expression turn serious, his gaze no longer warm as before, but somewhat cold.
Gu Qingxin’s heart dropped. What did she do wrong this time?
It seemed like she did nothing at all!
After Bai Jingqing ordered his meal, everyone began to eat quietly as the food was served. Among the six people at the table, only Huangfu Ye and Bai Jingqing engaged in occasional chats…
Beiming Han sat expressionless, the cold air around him becoming increasingly intense. He showed no intention of eating.
Gu Qingxin picked up a glove and donned it, before she peeled a shrimp and placed it onto Beiming Han’s plate.
“Young Master, here’s shrimp.”
Beiming Han stared at the peeled shrimp, his expression finally relaxing somewhat. He reached out to remove her glove, saying, “You eat first.”
“Oh.” Gu Qingxin responded and let out a sigh of relief.
Even if she didn’t understand Beiming Han as a person, she knew about his temperament from spending much time together.
Beiming Han put on a glove and started peeling shrimp for Gu Qingxin.
All of a sudden, footsteps were heard from the entrance. Huangfu Ye glanced over, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes when he saw who had arrived.
Surprisingly, it was Long Xuxu, Beiming Shasha, and several other young ladies whose names he couldn’t recall.
Gu Qingxin also spotted Long Xuxu and Beiming Shasha. She glanced at Beiming Han, unsure if he noticed them. Seeing him continue to peel shrimp without a change of expression, she guessed probably not…
Long Xuxu, with a glimpse of raging jealousy in her eyes as she saw Beiming Han peeling shrimp for Gu Qingxin, wished she could tear that little wretch Gu Qingxin limb from limb!
To Beiming Shasha’s surprise, Beiming Han was peeling shrimp for a girl, a first to her knowledge. His demeanor had always been cold as ice.
“How did you all get up here?” Huangfu Ye stood up and walked over.
“Brother Ye, we were just hanging around nearby and heard about your birthday party on the boat, so we came to celebrate with you,” said Long Xuxu with an elegant smile.
Huangfu Ye scoffed internally, he hadn’t missed the jealousy and malice in this woman’s eyes earlier!
“Yeah, Brother Ye, when we heard it was your birthday, we came straight away. You wouldn’t mind, right?” Beiming Shasha moved closer to Huangfu Ye, reaching out to clasp onto his arm.
“Miss Jiu, I am unworthy of the title ‘Brother Ye’ from you!” Huangfu Ye quickly dodged her attempt.
“Han, you’re here too.” Long Xuxu had already bypassed the others to approach the dining table, seemingly oblivious to the intimacy between Beiming Han and Gu Qingxin.
Beiming Han didn’t even glance at her. Seeing Gu Qingxin’s absent gaze staying on those women, he said displeasedly, “Eat your shrimp.”
“Oh.” Gu Qingxin lowered her head and continued eating. She had no intention to greet Long Xuxu who had schemed against her before.
“Brother Six, Brother Qing…” Beiming Shasha greeted entering the room, and she went on to greet the two men.
Beiming Han remained silent, concentrating on peeling shrimps. Bai Jingqing responded faintly, setting down his chopsticks. Leaning back in the chair, his appetite had been ruined..
