"Regarding Yu Wanqing’s matter, I can handle it myself. I only agreed to two conditions with her."
"I won’t be so foolish as to sacrifice my whole life for a mont of guilt. Yu Wanqing isn’t worth it."
Looking at the girl who had cald down, Gu Beicheng’s deanor softened significantly.
"What conditions? Let find a solution. Just focus on your alchemy here, don’t worry about anything else."
"This..." Xia Yinian lowered her head, looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Tending to her for a while until she recovers is no problem; Yu Wanqing’s injuries aren’t severe.
She’s mainly shaken, and since I’m not a psychologist, I can’t be much help.
But should she really talk to Uncle about the three-month agreent?
In any case, this matter should be clarified with Uncle, so he won’t keep forcing .
"These days, I’ll go over and take care of her daily needs until she recovers."
"It’s not difficult, after all, Yu Wanqing is in the Feng Family; it’s quite convenient to visit, so Uncle, don’t interfere."
"You an you need my help with the second matter?" Gu Beicheng held Xia Yinian’s shoulders, making her look at him.
Facing the man’s gaze once again, Xia Yinian blinked, nodded, then shook her head.
"She said that within three months, I’m not allowed to get close to you."
Xia Yinian stretched out her hand, pushing Gu Beicheng’s hand away, continuing: "This... also can’t be allowed."
She took a deep breath and slipped away from his embrace.
In an instant, Xia Yinian was already back behind Gu Beicheng, continuing with her tasks while the space in front of him was empty.
Watching his beloved disciple smoothly escape from his embrace, as her master, he ought to be happy for her progress.
But, thinking of the little girl’s words, how could Gu Beicheng possibly feel happy?
Before Gu Beicheng could speak, Xia Yinian’s voice sounded once again.
"Anyway, I’m not in that kind of relationship with Uncle. Such a simple request, of course, I’ll agree."
The words were spoken casually, yet Xia Yinian felt not the least bit relaxed.
Evidently, rely stating a fact, she felt a bit like she’d done sothing wrong.
In matters of affection, Xia Yinian increasingly failed to understand what she truly wanted.
If possible, she’d prefer not to dwell on it too much.
Her goal is to participate in the Alchemy Competition, aiming for good results, and to establish herself in the dical field.
Moreover, Xia Yinian is well aware that her life’s aspirations are intricately linked to dicine.
Just like Grandpa once said, every Feng family mber carries a desire for alchemy in their veins.
Even though she’s not a Feng family mber, Xia Yinian can comprehend Grandpa’s words.
This is a subconscious pursuit, deeply rooted, tied to her very being, rendering her montarily speechless.
"This request... very simple?"
The man’s cold breath sounded in her ear, causing Xia Yinian to shiver.
Indeed, Uncle was still angry.
She froze for a mont, ignoring the approaching person.
"Regardless of whether you acknowledge my engagent with Brother Ling Qian, as long as the engagent isn’t annulled, I won’t consider matters of the heart."
"If Uncle insists on forcing , you may have many ways, but they are against my will."
This was the first ti Xia Yinian calmly discussed emotional matters with Gu Beicheng.
She didn’t expect him to fully understand her feelings, only hoped he’d view her as a normal person.
