Chapter 722: Chapter 696: Unusual Flutters 5
Gu Qingxin left to the restroom, leaving Beiming Han and Huangfu Ye alone in the private dining room.
“Big Brother, I’ve always wondered… why does Shushu not hold as much hostility towards Qingxin?”
Huangfu Ye still remembered that Ye Yingsu almost killed Guan Yue out of jealousy due to Beiming Han’s close relationship with her.
That’s why, when Ye Yingsu first returned, Beiming Han dared not let her know about his relationship with Gu Qingxin.
Ye Yingsu has held a strong hostility against any woman close to Beiming Han, but Gu Qingxin seems to be an exception.
This left Huangfu Ye puzzled.
Beiming Han could now openly show affection to Gu Qingxin in front of Ye Yingsu, but only after testing her reactions repeatedly.
That’s why he didn’t stop Gu Qingxin when she met Xiao Yi at the Jade Garden. He hoped she could get along well with Xiao Yi and win her favor.
After all, in this world, the people Shushu cared about the most are Xiao Yi… and him.
“Think about it yourself,” Beiming Han gave a cold reply.
If he could understand it, would he still need to ask? He was asking precisely because he was confused.
When Gu Qingxin returned, Bai Jingqing and Bai Qianqian also arrived. Beiming Han noticed the color of Gu Qingxin’s face was off and asked in a concerned tone, “What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”
Gu Qingxin quickly shook her head, “No, I’m probably just hungry.”
Hearing her say she was hungry, Beiming Han immediately ordered the meal.
After dinner, Huangfu Ye suggested going to Shengzun for drinks. Bai Jingqing had no objections. Beiming Han initially wanted to agree too, considering it was still early. But seeing Gu Qingxin’s face getting worse, his brows furrowed.
Gu Qingxin gently pulled his hand and said, “I don’t want to go, I want to go home.”
The word caused Beiming Han’s heart to throb. It was the first time she had mentioned going home.
Bai Qianqian was also feeling a bit tired and decided to go home and rest instead of going out.
Seeing that she had no interest, Bai Jingqing naturally didn’t force her.
In the end, only Huangfu Ye was left, standing alone in the cold wind…
Once Beiming Han and Gu Qingxin got in the car, Beiming Han sensed something was off, Gu Qingxin kept snuggling close to him.
“What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Beiming Han pushed her away slightly, asking anxiously.
Gu Qingxin covered her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him and said, “I…”
“What’s wrong? Just tell me! Should we go to the hospital?” Beiming Han immediately instructed the driver.
“No, there’s no need for a hospital!” Gu Qingxin bit her lip in embarrassment.
“Then what…” Beiming Han was cut off as a strange expression flashed across his face, his gaze falling on the spot she was covering with her hand.
“I got my period.” Gu Qingxin buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice barely audible.
Beiming Han tightened his hold on her, his large hand covering her small ones. His Adam’s apple bobbed nervously, his hoarse voice asking, “Does it hurt a lot?”
“It’s… okay.” Gu Qingxin couldn’t bring herself to lift her head.
Beiming Han looked somewhat upset. He had seen how painful her periods could be, causing his palms to break out in a cold sweat and his gaze filled with anxiety.
“We need to buy some sanitary pads… there aren’t any at the apartment,” Gu Qingxin’s hand held him tightly.
Beiming Han removed his suit jacket and put it over her, hoping it might provide her some comfort. He then instructed the driver to find a convenience store.
