Chapter 2559 - 2574: She Will Never Rely on Anyone Again 6

"Where are you now? I’ll come find you." Gu Qingxin’s voice was devoid of warmth.

Yet, to Beiming Han’s ears, it was like a heavenly melody.

"I’m at the West City Apartment." Beiming Han wasn’t there; it was the place where they had lived together.

"I’ll be there in half an hour." Gu Qingxin hung up the phone, her delicate brows lightly furrowed. She was determined to bring Xia Tian back this time!

Beiming Han instructed the driver to head towards the West City Apartment.

By the time Gu Qingxin arrived, Beiming Han was already there. She rang the doorbell, and the apartment door opened. She looked up to see the man standing in the doorway...

After reaching, Beiming Han had taken a quick shower and changed into a new outfit.

He wore a simple beige casual outfit, with slightly damp hair softly covering his forehead. His features were exquisitely defined; even though Gu Qingxin had seen them countless times, and despite the current tension between them, she was still slightly taken aback.

"Come in." Beiming Han stepped aside, inviting her inside.

Gu Qingxin stood at the door without moving, saying blandly, "There’s no need. Let’s talk right here... I heard from Xia Tian that Guan Yue is going to live in North Garden, so name your terms... This time, I must take Xia Tian away."

Beiming Han stared at her. How long had it been since he had looked at her from such a close distance? Her brows and eyes were as exquisitely beautiful as he remembered, her slightly trembling eyelashes made his heart itch with longing.

"She won’t live in North Garden! She doesn’t have the qualifications! The only woman qualified to live in North Garden... in this world, there’s only one! It’s you!" Beiming Han’s tone was extremely resolute.

"That’s your business! You’re Xia Tian’s biological father, I don’t deny that, but because of you, Xia Tian has been in danger twice! This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate any longer! Terms!" Gu Qingxin stared at him expressionlessly.

"Spend a day with me!" Beiming Han gazed at her for a long time before finally proposing this condition.

Gu Qingxin froze for a moment, her hand clenched into a tight fist. She let out a ’hmph~’ and smirked, "You’re still the same as before!"

Beiming Han could tell she was mocking him. He lowered his eyelashes to hide the hurt in his eyes, "This is my only condition. Spend a day here with me and don’t go anywhere, and I’ll let Xia Tian go back."

Gu Qingxin’s face looked very displeased. She took a few deep breaths and agreed, "Fine! Deal!"

Gu Qingxin stopped looking at him and walked straight in. Nothing here had changed; it looked exactly the same as before. However, because of this "transaction," Gu Qingxin felt her heart turn cold.

Beiming Han closed the door, admitting to himself he was being despicable again. After the day at the hospital when Xia Tian met Baobei, his determination to keep Xia Tian by his side forever had wavered.

Each time he thought about how Baobei was reluctant to part with Xia Tian, how tears dropped from her big dark eyes, it felt like a stab to his heart.

Using this opportunity, he could keep her by his side for a day—even though it might make her hate him even more, he was willing to accept that.

Because... he missed her too much!

When Beiming Han turned around, Gu Qingxin had already placed her bag on the sofa. She took off her coat and raised her hand to start unbuttoning her shirt—one button, two buttons, her fingertips trembling.

Beiming Han’s pupils shrank violently, his fingers clenched slightly, his steps staggered as he rushed to her side. As she was undoing the third button, he grabbed her hand.
