Chapter 65: Chapter 70: Don’t Make Me Say it a Third Time
Translator: 549690339
The General was a fully grown wolf, massive in size and over a hundred pounds in weight. It was intimidating enough just standing there, let alone when it was deliberately showing its ferocity…
Gu Qingxin trembled with fear, the image of the General baring its fangs, ready to bite her, consuming her mind…
“I’m here, don’t be scared.” Beiming Han comforted her with light pats on her back.
Spooked, Gu Qingxin clung desperately to Beiming Han, his voice bring an unexpected comfort to her. She scrambled onto him, tightly wrapping her arms around him.
“There, there. Don’t worry, the General is a good boy, he wouldn’t actually eat you.”
Beiming Han sat down on the bed, feeling her fear. He gave a cold stare at the General, who had stopped in his tracks and was now lying silently on the ground.
The General looked wronged. It had rushed in just because it heard a scream from the master’s room, assuming his master was in danger.
“You… you… get it… out of here!” Gu Qingxin, finally calming down a bit, asked anxiously, her eyes as red as a rabbit’s.
“Out!” Beiming Han coldly ordered the General.
It seemed that his master no longer loved him. His master used to hold him, but now he was holding a beautiful girl.
After the General left, Beiming Han told her, “He is gone now!”
Gu Qingxin turned to confirm that the wolf had indeed left, and gave a sigh of relief.
Dinning room downstairs.
Gu Qingxin was carried downstairs by Beiming Han. Fortunately, all the servants here were very conscious. As long as Beiming Han was present, they would all put down their work, bowing their heads in respect, daring not to steal additional glances, otherwise she would be extremely embarrassed.
She was utterly drained, descending the stairs on her own would indeed be a challenge.
Upon entering the dining room, Beiming Han set her down next to him and took the principal seat.
When the steward saw the master sitting down, he ordered the meal to be served. Within a minute, a table of delicious food was presented.
Beiming Han ate elegantly, with an air of nobility that matched perfectly with his dazzling handsome face. This gracefulness could make anyone wonder if they were worthy enough to dine with him.
Gu Qingxin was really hungry. She had only managed to eat half of her food the day before, and then all sorts of things had happened. She now had hunger pangs.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for her to be coy. Once Beiming Han started eating, she also picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
Gu Qingxin’s movements when eating were somewhat hasty. If Beiming Han wasn’t there for comparison, no one would find her manners inappropriate. However, when compared to Beiming Han, she appeared quite rude.
The steward, Luode, had to walk over and remind after seeing this. “Miss Gu, please mind your table manners. Chopsticks should not touch the tableware.”
Gu Qingxin, who was suddenly lectured, grumpily bit the chopstick that she had just put into her mouth…
“And you certainly should! bite the chopsticks.” The steward advised with a stern tone.
Gu Qingxin quickly let go of the chopstick she was biting and bowed her head in a huff. In her opinion, eating was a joyous thing. As long as it doesn’t bother others, standards and rules shouldn’t matter so much.
Beiming Han, sitting in the main seat, glanced at her but said nothing. He continued to eat leisurely. The way he ate was really standard, almost like an instructional guide.
It was no wonder that she was criticized…
Gu Qingxin could only proceed to carefully pick her food, trying her best to avoid giving the steward an opportunity to criticize her. However, she underestimated the steward. Just as she sipped her soup, he immediately admonished, “You should not make any noise when drinking soup.”
“I didn’t make any noise.” Gu Qingxin had been so careful to drink slowly because she was afraid of his comments.
“Miss Gu, although you didn’t make noise while drinking, you swallowed too loudly. The standard practice is…”
Before steward Luode could finish his sentence, Beiming Han, sitting in the principal seat, expressed his displeasure in a strangely cold voice, “Out!”
His voice was not loud, yet it sent shivers down everyone’s spine. Gu Qingxin’s heart trembled and she put down her spoon, ready to stand up and leave…
The disdain in the steward’s eyes was evident. How could this coarse and ill-mannered wild girl be qualified to dine with the distinguished Beiming family?
The young master did the right thing. The sooner this girl disappeared from sight, the better. After all, she was nothing more than a tool to keep the young master’s bed warm.
Suddenly, Gu Qingxin’s wrist was seized. As she turned her head, she locked eyes with Beiming Han’s icy, emotionless stare. He had asked her to leave, and she had obeyingly stood up. What more did he want?
Beiming Han watched her for two seconds before gazing at the steward standing aside. He commanded coldly, “Out!”
Was his “Out!” meant for the steward?!
“Young master, the rules of the Beiming family are…”
“Don’t make me say it a third time!” Beiming Han’s tone was chillingly cold, not revealing any emotions yet strangely oppressive.
“Yes, sir.” Steward Luode dared not to say any more, he hastily bowed and excused himself.
The dining room was left with only servants who dared not even breathe too loudly…
“Eat.” Beiming Han released her hand and resumed his meal.
With apprehension, Gu Qingxin sat back down. Just as she picked up her chopsticks, she heard him say, “You are not a member of the Beiming family, you don’t need to hold back.”
Although Beiming Han wasn’t actually looking at her, he was still discreetly observing the girl beside him from the corner of his eyes. When Gu Qingxin was eating, she might not be regarded as elegant, but she wasn’t unpleasant either. Her small mouth moving as she chewed was extremely adorable.
Her satisfied expression seemed to imply that every bite she took was the most delicious food in the world, unintentionally inciting appetite in others.
Beiming Han had never seen a girl eat like she did. Although her movements were not perfect, they were lively and adorable, a pleasure to watch.
Surprisingly, during this meal, Beiming Han ended up eating an extra bowl of rice…
After the meal, a servant brought mouthwash. Beiming Han rinsed his mouth, and his gaze landed on her. Seeing him, Gu Qingxin hurriedly picked up the cup and rinsed her mouth…
“Can you walk on your own?” Beiming Han asked her casually.
Gu Qingxin blushed upon realizing what he meant, and quickly nodded in response, “Yes!”
