"This, I..." Xia Yinian pursed her lips, looking at the man in front of her.
"If we cancel the marriage contract, will you be willing?" Gu Beicheng frowned slightly.
Cancel the marriage contract? Xia Yinian blinked.
The marriage contract with Brother Ling Qian definitely had to be canceled, but how easy could that be?
Brother Ling Qian is the Eldest Young Master Gu, what right does she have to take the initiative to cancel the marriage contract?
The madness of Old Master Gu was still vivid in Xia Yinian’s mind.
If she angered him, even with Uncle’s protection, it wouldn’t be foolproof.
By then, her life would beco too thrilling and dangerous again.
That’s not what she wanted; she just wanted to find a little bit of the extraordinary in an ordinary life with her own abilities, that would be enough, without needing too much excitent.
Moreover, Xia Yinian definitely didn’t want Uncle to fall out with his father because of her.
And Grandma, could she bear it if she and Brother Ling Qian canceled the marriage contract?
"No, Grandma would be unhappy!" Xia Yinian said softly.
She knew, the only person who could soften Uncle’s heart was probably Grandma.
"I’ll find a way," Gu Beicheng said, casually tossing his shirt sowhere unknown.
Looking at his toned chest, Xia Yinian swallowed and imdiately looked away.
"Uncle, don’t do this! I like my current life, really, I just want it to be simple."
"This is fine as it is, I don’t want to live in the chaos like before, not knowing what tomorrow will bring."
"I want to study well, practice alchemy well, and talk about other things later, I’m sorry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yinian bit her lip, turned around, and ran out.
Without a doubt, having him by her side made her the happiest, but since Uncle couldn’t promise her anything, Xia Yinian couldn’t afford this fleeting happiness.
She once fantasized, perhaps she could go crazy once and pursue her own happiness.
But for her own selfish desires, disrupting so many people’s peace, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Gu Beicheng watched the figure disappear from his sight, his eyes growing deeper and deeper.
The little girl wasn’t stupid, she should have realized so things long ago, she just didn’t say them out loud.
Leaving Gu Beicheng’s room, Xia Yinian changed into a different set of clothes, returned to the first floor, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Niannian." A servant ca up to her.
"Where are they?" Xia Yinian asked softly.
"Everyone’s gone to the entertainnt room, I’ll take you there." The maid smiled and gestured.
"Okay." Xia Yinian nodded.
After passing through a corridor, the maid stopped at the door of a room.
"Please, Miss Niannian."
Xia Yinian nodded, knocked on the door first, then pushed it open and walked in.
The mont she pushed the door open, she realized what it ant by the difference between indoors and outdoors.
Earlier, she hadn’t heard any noise at all; the mont the door opened, Xia Yinian thought she had arrived at a KTV.
Could the soundproofing of this room be any better? You could say, once the door is closed, it cuts off all the sound inside.
"Niannian." Ye Shushu stepped forward to greet her.
Before Xia Yinian could say anything, Ye Shushu took her hand and led her inside.
"Everyone’s here, co on over." As she spoke, Ye Shushu leaned her head closer to Xia Yinian, "A few handso n have co, each one is very handso."
"Perhaps, without so looks, they couldn’t be connected with Seventh Young Master."
