Seeing her work, he finally understood why the Feng Family is so skilled in alchemy.
It’s an innate talent, possessed from the mont of birth.
Otherwise, no one could explain how a little girl could reach such heights in just a month, starting from zero.
As the man suddenly leaned closer, Xia Yinian realized that the two of them were sitting quite near each other, and she instinctively leaned back.
"If ti permits, I would certainly try my best, but Grandma... her life is at risk at any mont. I can’t take the gamble, I really can’t!"
Xia Yinian did not voice the latter part, as it made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom’s treatnt will start tomorrow. As for our cooperation, you can discuss the terms with Yuan Yaying, Chi He will follow up."
"However, I have one more condition: before I marry Yu Wanqing, apart from , you can’t be with any other man."
Gu Beicheng raised an eyebrow, seemingly thinking his condition was very reasonable.
"Uncle, you’ve decided to get engaged to Yu Wanqing?" the girl’s voice sounded.
Gu Beicheng didn’t expect her to care about the first half of his statent rather than the second half.
Wasn’t she supposed to reject his condition first? This little girl is quite stubborn! He was well aware of that.
It seed that he still held so significance in her heart.
Gu Beicheng’s mood was getting better and better.
"What else?" He waved a hand, "If you can’t bear it, you can work hard to win back."
An engagent is rely a ceremony; he and Yu Wanqing could never marry, so she had no chance to desire other n.
The reluctant look in the girl’s eyes beside him succeeded in pleasing Gu Beicheng.
However, Xia Yinian soon realized that this seed to be the best decision for now.
"I’ll try my best, but only for Grandma." She gave him a sidelong glance before averting her gaze.
"What about my condition..." Gu Beicheng squinted his eyes halfway.
"Did you say sothing just now? I didn’t hear anything." Xia Yinian raised an eyebrow, interrupting.
She would never agree to such a thing; future matters could be addressed in due course, and if a better man appeared, why wouldn’t she consider it?
Who said it had to be him?
"Just try finding another man?" Gu Beicheng stretched out his long arm, wrapping it around her neck.
With a calm face, Xia Yinian shrugged off his hand and stood up.
"What’s there not to dare?"
"Apart from , you can’t like anyone else!" The next second, Gu Beicheng blocked Xia Yinian’s path with a warning look.
"Says who?" Xia Yinian muttered, not even sparing him a glance.
In any case, she no longer wished to be controlled, nor easily promise anyone.
"It’s , your man." Gu Beicheng tilted her chin, making her look directly into his eyes.
Xia Yinian turned her face away, refusing to et his gaze—whether out of stubbornness or reluctance, only she knew.
"Don’t scare , I’m not the Xia Yinian I used to be."
"Whether I’m scaring you or not, you know it in your heart. It’s best to rember my words."
Gu Beicheng’s voice wasn’t cold, yet it was easy to tell he was angry.
As he reached his long arm out to embrace her, Xia Yinian pushed him away with all her strength.
"You must know, you’re the one asking for cooperation now, yet you’re setting so many conditions?" She scoffed coldly.
Xia Yinian was well aware that even without Uncle’s request, she wouldn’t stand by idly concerning Grandma’s illness.
Whether it’s Grandma Gu or Grandpa Feng’s illness, she would strive her hardest.
