Chapter 823: Chapter 828: She is Willing to Warm Him 2
If she didn’t drink it herself, he would surely do as he said and tie her up. Bai Qianqian didn’t want to go against herself, so she decided to just take a drink.
After taking a few sips, Bai Qianqian indeed felt much better. The tightness she had been feeling in her chest and the constant urge to vomit were slightly relieved.
After finishing the bowl of ginger soup, Bai Qianqian felt herself breaking into a sweat. Bai Jingqing touched her neck, confirmed that she was sweating, and then let her lie down. After covering her with the blanket, he added another quilt for her.
Perhaps Bai Qianqian was too uncomfortable, she fell asleep soon after. Bai Jingqing gently held her hand, pressing it softly against his lips for a kiss. His eyes were sorrowful and bright, his chest pounded with searing emotion…
In the afternoon, when Huangfu Ye found An Xiaonuan awake, he could no longer hold back his emotions, and after notifying Beiming Han, he left first.
Although the three brothers traditionally spent Christmas together every year, this year was different. Their eldest brother was with Qingxin, the second brother had Qianqian, and though he was still single, having a little prey to chase was another kind of enjoyment.
Watching the retreating figure of Huangfu Ye, Beiming Han fell into a thoughtful state. His phone rang, and he answered it to find Ye Yingsu’s voice, “Wish Xiao Yi and Gu Qingxin a merry Christmas from me. I’ve sent the gifts and they should arrive in a few days. That’s it.”
Once Ye Yingsu had finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.
“Xiao Yi, your Aunt Yingsu wishes you a merry Christmas.” Beiming Han said casually.
Xiao Yi looked up at him briefly before continuing to play with his toys, apparently unenthusiastic.
“Was that Yingsu’s call? Where is she now? Did she say when she will be back?” Gu Qingxin asked, walking over.
Beiming Han pulled her into his arms and asked, “Are you close to her? You seem so concerned.”
“There are some people that you know for ten years and it feels like a day, and there are some people that you only need to know for a day and it feels like a hundred years.” Gu Qingxin said.
“How do you feel about me then?” Beiming Han asked, gazing at her.
Gu Qingxin averted her eyes nervously, “Ah, the juice I was preparing in the kitchen hasn’t been squeezed yet, the fruits are going to oxidize if I leave them too long.”
“So, for me, it’s the former!” Beiming Han’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Gu Qingxin immediately shook her head vehemently.
“Then it’s the latter?”
Gu Qingxin thought for a moment, and shook her head again.
“I don’t know… The fruit is really going to oxidize!” Gu Qingxin abruptly got up from his embrace and ran to the kitchen as if escaping.
With her gone from his arms, a hint of disappointment flashed across Beiming Han’s eyes, his gaze following her until she disappeared from sight.
Gu Qingxin’s heart was pounding wildly, she covered her chest, her heart seemed broken, it would not stop pounding whenever she was near him.
She couldn’t resist a surreptitious peek outside, the man in the black sweater was sitting on the sofa, one arm draped over the armrest, his head slightly bowed. He looked so alone that it tugged at Gu Qingxin’s heart.
At dusk, they all prepared to head back. Bai Qianqian was carried by Bai Jingqing to his car.
