Chapter 2453: Chapter 2447: Long Ti No See
“Mr. Xiao…” Gu Beilin stomped her foot in frustration.
“Let make this clear: if you don’t leave now and sothing goes missing from my house, I’ll assu you stole it and call the police. You understand the consequences.” Xiao Qi walked out the door without looking back.
“Wait for , I’m leaving too.” Gu Beilin had no choice but to leave. After such words, if she stayed and sothing was missing later, what would she do when they ca to her? Especially since the possibility of her being frad was already laid out. She had to leave; she couldn’t take that gamble.
Gu Beilin feared that if Xiao Qi accused her of theft and got her arrested, there would be no one to bail her out. In that case, she’d be stuck in prison, unable to escape. She couldn’t stay, fearing she’d end up spending her life behind bars. Smart as she was, she knew better than to make such a bad deal, so after Xiao Qi left with his group, she followed suit.
Regarding Xiao Qi’s decision, she knew there was no changing it. What would she do next? If things continued like this, she’d only be cast aside by the Gus.
If at the start her pregnancy wasn’t known, she could have secretly aborted the child and tried to marry into a wealthy family. But after the last incident, everyone in their circle knew about it; who would care about her now? She’d beco a laughingstock, with no possibility of recovering. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have co here today. She had anticipated this outco but wanted to try her luck. Now, she had to give up.
She couldn’t understand why Nangong Beiying, just the eldest daughter of the Nangongs, was any different from her, Ms. Gu. Why was he so fixated on that woman and didn’t spare her a glance?
Fortunately, Xiao Qi didn’t know her thoughts, otherwise, he’d have kicked her out with a broom. How could a woman like her compare to his goddess? Comparing the noble Nangong Beiying to such an unremarkable woman was insulting to Nangong Beiying.
As for such things, they were unaware; otherwise, it would have been different, a different ending entirely.
Though at this point, Xiao Qi and his group, seeing Gu Beilin had left his house, imdiately locked the door and went to Qin Xue’s ho.
“Big brother, where’s my brother?” Ye Li asked as he entered the house, searching for Ye Xuan.
“Here I am, little Li. Long ti no see; you’ve grown quite a bit.” Ye Xuan, hearing the voices, assud they had returned and ca out to see his daughter.
He was surprised to hear his brother looking for him—this had never happened before.
“Second brother, I thought I’d never see you again.” Ye Li handed the child to Qin Jiale standing nearby and rushed up to hug him.
“It’s alright, your brother is back. Were you scared?” Ye Xuan, ignoring the pain in his brother’s embrace, used his uninjured arm to hug him back, patting his back reassuringly.
“Second brother, I’m just glad you’re okay, glad you’re back, glad you’re back…” Ye Li kept repeating, having been genuinely frightened. This was his real brother, despite being apart for long periods while growing up, their bond remained strong. To him, they were as close as if they’d never been separated, and every reunion felt just as dear.
