Old Madam Bei Cheng’ai is loved by everyone in Ye City.
Now, with Old Master Feng unconscious, and Grandpa helping from behind, who else is more suitable to develop the dicine for Old Madam Gu than myself?
Xia Yinian is anxious, worried for Gu Beicheng.
If Uncle agrees to the engagent, it would not only benefit Shengshi Group and Imperial Group’s developnt, but also an having a strong team working on Old Madam’s treatnt.
"Grandpa, there are more participants in this year’s Alchemy Competition than in previous years." Suddenly, Gu Lingqian spoke.
"The competition will end around seven in the evening, which really isn’t an ideal ti for a banquet."
"I think it would be more suitable to choose another date for Uncle’s engagent."
Apart from Xia Yinian, no one else knew that the man beside her had held her hand during her mont of internal conflict.
Gu Lingqian rarely speaks, and when he does, it’s generally to the point, seldom showing emotion, so people generally wouldn’t ignore him.
"Oh, it’s already that late, I guess we’ll need to reschedule." The Old Madam glanced at Gu Lingqian.
Worried about being noticed, Xia Yinian consciously withdrew her hand.
Gu Lingqian continued to hold her hand lightly, without any intention of letting go.
Xia Yinian bit her lip, seemingly accepting it, she is Brother Ling Qian’s fiancée, even if soone sees, it won’t be a big problem.
"Mom, I have sothing to attend to, take your ti eating." Suddenly, Gu Beicheng stood up.
After greeting the Old Madam, he didn’t look at anyone else and turned to leave.
His departure made everyone present feel a bit awkward.
The Old Madam held Yu Wanqing’s hand and sighed.
"Everyone knows the temper of the Seventh, I’m really sorry!"
"Old Madam, please don’t say that." Yu Wanqing lowered her voice as she looked at her.
"I also understand Beicheng’s character, I’m actually not in a rush to get engaged, otherwise..."
"The wedding date can only be postponed for a few days, you young people may not be in a hurry, but us old folks are." Old Master Gu glanced at Xia Yinian, speaking coldly.
Xia Yinian t his gaze and imdiately lowered her head in fright.
Gu Lingqian directly pulled Xia Yinian into his embrace and kissed her forehead lightly.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll take Nian Nian back to rest first, she still has the competition tomorrow, it’s stressful."
Gu Lingqian looked at everyone with a smile, full of affection.
Xia Yinian didn’t move at all, allowing Gu Lingqian to hold her.
Was the Old Master’s gaze just now a warning to her?
Thinking about how she almost died at his hands once, who wouldn’t be afraid?
"Alright, alright, take Nian Nian back to rest first." The Old Madam waved her hand with a smile, "Nian Nian, don’t be nervous, just do your best."
"Grandma, I understand." Xia Yinian replied.
Gu Lingqian leaned close to Xia Yinian’s ear, whispering, "Tonight... I’ll be with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held her and stood up, turning to leave.
What topics were left, Xia Yinian didn’t know.
The unfriendly look from the Old Master earlier, Brother Ling Qian must have noticed it too, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such words.
The Gu Family, truly a terrifying existence.
But co to think of it, perhaps the only truly lovely person is the Old Master Gu.
Brother Ling Qian treats her so well, Uncle is good now, and Grandma is the kindest, ignoring irrelevant people, the Old Master is the scariest.
"What? Still afraid?" Gu Lingqian’s gentle voice rang out.
