Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: It’s Enough That He Misses Her

Gu Beicheng collected his thoughts, his movements became even more tender.

He gently helped her to push her hair aside, placing a large hand on her back and softly caressing it...

When Xia Yinian awoke, two hours had already passed.

To be precise, she was woken up by hunger.

It was all because she hadn’t slept well these past two nights; in her dreams, he had returned, and suddenly she slept very soundly.

As her stomach growled loudly, Xia Yinian slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was a firm chest, and she was startled, pushing him away immediately.

"You..."

She met a pair of somewhat drowsy eyes and instantly became fully awake.

"Beicheng, how is it you? Have you really come back?"

She held his handsome face, her long fingers gently tracing over his cheek.

Just after holding her for a while, Gu Beicheng had also fallen asleep.

So, he was awakened by her push.

The man slightly curled his lips, now fully awake.

"Awake?" His gentle voice sounded.

"Mm, is it really you?" Xia Yinian nodded.

She extended her tender jade-like fingers, caressing his eyes, cheeks, the tip of his nose, and even his thin lips.

Finally, she let out a long breath, as if confirming that he was truly back.

Seeing those eyes brimming with longing, Gu Beicheng felt a twinge of heartache.

If he could always stay by her side, would she not be so full of doubts, always worried she was dreaming?

Having a little girl at home eagerly waiting for his return felt genuinely nice.

But, at this moment, Gu Beicheng seemed to wish she didn’t miss him so much, hoping she could enjoy every day with her friends.

It was enough that he missed her, she didn’t need to think about him every day.

Because he understood deeply, the taste of missing someone wasn’t always so pleasant, especially in the still of the night.

He just didn’t expect that after only three days apart, the little girl would miss him this much.

"Honey."

Gu Beicheng slightly curled his lips, holding her jade-like fingers resting by his mouth, and kissed them softly.

"Beicheng, is it really you?"

Xia Yinian’s raspy voice sounded, her gaze locked onto his exposed chest.

"Do you always like sleeping this way?" Her small hand fell on his chest, carefully helping him button up his open shirt.

It seemed like her own handiwork, yet she couldn’t quite admit it.

"Just now, I thought it was a bad guy, so... did I hurt you by pushing?" Her palm, through the newly arranged clothes, softly soothed his chest.

"Comfortable." Gu Beicheng grabbed her hand, pressing it over his heart.

Meeting his gaze, Xia Yinian pursed her lips and withdrew her hand.

"Have you been back long? Why didn’t you wake me?"

She had thought of many reasons for their temporary separation, yet upon seeing him in her half-awake state, she forgot all about them.

"I wanted to hold you and have a good sleep." Gu Beicheng pinned the reason on himself.

Xia Yinian’s stomach growled again, and Gu Beicheng’s large hand moved down, gently soothing her small, rumbling belly.

"Let’s get something to eat first, okay?"

"Mm." Xia Yinian nodded.

It seemed like, for now, she just wanted to keep a little distance from him.

As the two of them dressed neatly and went downstairs, Yuan Yaying was not there, only two servants were around.

Gu Beicheng held Xia Yinian closely, acting as if he were in his own home, completely at ease.

Xia Yinian didn’t refuse either; some things, she didn’t even know from when, or how it started to feel more appropriate?
