"Seventh Young Master?" Watching the man approaching quickly, Tian Xing was taken aback.
Although it was inevitable for Young Master to look for the Seventh Young Master, he didn’t expect the Seventh Young Master to show up so soon.
Besides, with the Seventh Young Master’s temperant, why would he rush over so hastily?
Could it be... not to look for Young Master?
"I heard that our little girl was rescued by you. Where is she?"
Gu Beicheng’s tone was rather bland, not pretentious, but there was little warmth in his deanor.
"That lady, is she... from the Gu Family?" Tian Xing hadn’t had ti to investigate Xia Yinian’s identity. "She is now..."
Thinking of Xia Yinian’s scream from the kitchen just monts ago, Tian Xing’s complexion imdiately changed.
Their Young Master would never bully a girl like this. What happened today?
And, unfortunately, the girl’s family has shown up!
Now...
"Ah! Stop, you jerk!"
The faint voices coming from the kitchen — who else could it be, if not Xia Yinian?
Gu Beicheng’s expression darkened, and he pushed Tian Xing aside, striding swiftly towards the kitchen.
Tian Xing wanted to follow, but Chi He held him back.
The kitchen door was kicked open with a bang.
It seed the door was kicked with a bit too much force; it flew out and crashed to the ground not far from them.
The two sitting at the table looked up and stared at the entrance of the kitchen, unable to react imdiately.
Not just them, even the newly arrived Gu Beicheng along with Chi He and Tian Xing, were stunned at seeing the two at the table.
They sat beside a small table, which barely fit the two of them.
Especially Feng Yan, with his almost two-ters-tall stature squeezed next to the little table, looked like an adult playing with children’s toys.
But that’s not the point, what were they doing?
Hadn’t Xia Yinian just been calling for help, telling the jerk to stop?
Everyone thought upon entering, they would see a man assaulting a girl.
But, what are they doing?
The two... fighting over a bowl of noodles?
Feng Yan was eating from the bowl, while Xia Yinian’s chopsticks were in it, about to dive in!
Did she scream at him to stop because he was trying to take her noodles?
...What is all this?
"You all..." Chi He looked embarrassed; obviously, even the Seventh Young Master had misunderstood the situation.
He cleared his throat lightly before asking, "What are you doing?"
Xia Yinian didn’t answer but suddenly stood up and ran towards Gu Beicheng.
"Uncle!" She hugged him tightly, very tightly. "Uncle! Uncle!"
Gu Beicheng finally snapped out of his daze, his large hand gently pressing on her head.
He knew she had been wronged, and, at the mont, there were bandages on her forehead and visible injuries on her arms—a pitiful sight.
She had only been gone for half a day, yet she ended up like this!
"Uncle!" Xia Yinian buried her face in his chest, tears finally slipping down.
Seeing her in that mont, he even forgot his hunger.
She was very worried, indeed she had been worried all day.
Although Gu Lingqian had said he was back, the unease persisted without seeing him.
Seeing him now, she was moved to tears.
Uncle is back, he is safely back, so good, so good...
"Uh..." Xia Yinian hugged him tightly, clutching at his clothes, her voice hoarse as it strained in her throat.
"Uncle, you’re finally back."
