Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389: Don’t Be Naughty!

"Do you have something to tell me?" Gu Beicheng asked softly.

Xia Yinian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Mm, can you not go out?"

"I can stay, but I need to see what you’re willing to tell me." Gu Beicheng furrowed his brows.

Meeting his eyes, Xia Yinian momentarily didn’t know what to say.

Just now, she had tried her best to act normal, but he still noticed something was off, and even had Chi He look into her matters.

Maybe he hurried back because he saw her abnormal grades.

So, unless everything was fine with her, she really had no way to hide anything from him.

"Let’s go back to the room and talk; it’s not convenient here."

She took his hand, turned around, and headed back inside the villa.

Gu Beicheng didn’t refuse. If possible, he certainly wanted to hear her say it out loud.

His only worry was that this girl kept any grievances to herself, unwilling to fully trust him.

Xia Yinian’s pace was slow, truly uncertain about what she should tell him later.

He really cared for her deeply, so she didn’t want him to live unhappily even more.

Xia Yinian braced herself and pulled Gu Beicheng back into the room, closing the door behind them.

She always felt that if he went to find his real mom, the outcome would certainly be unpleasant.

Thinking about the lady, it hadn’t been easy for her either. Twenty-plus years, how many times does one get that long in life?

But she had indeed suffered for those twenty years.

Even though Qiu Yan’s words were cold and ruthless, Xia Yinian could still sense her love for her son.

Unknowingly, they had already reached the bed.

Xia Yinian bit her lip, pulling Gu Beicheng to sit down on the bed.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Is everything taken care of?" She looked up at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Not yet, just came back to see you." Gu Beicheng held her hand, pulling her into his embrace.

"Tell me, why did you go to find her?"

"Find... who?" Xia Yinian was slightly startled.

"You know, what did she actually say to you? If you don’t want to say, just stay here obediently, I’ll go find her." Gu Beicheng’s voice took on a slight chill.

"No." Xia Yinian immediately grabbed his arm.

"She’s pitiful enough on her own, why do you know she’s here but won’t look for her?"

"She doesn’t need me at all." Gu Beicheng said flatly.

If she wasn’t in his arms, Xia Yinian wouldn’t have sensed the unusual rhythm of his heartbeat at this moment.

She turned, wrapping her arms around his waist, lightly pursing her lips.

"That’s impossible, maybe she just doesn’t want to face you."

"What did she actually tell you?" Gu Beicheng lowered his head, lifting Xia Yinian’s chin, making her look at him.

"You really don’t know about her stuff?" Though she knew the answer, Xia Yinian still blurted out.

Since last time she had sought out the Black Shadow Killer, that meant Beicheng had already met his mom.

Did they really not say anything to each other?

"I don’t know." Gu Beicheng released her chin, pressing her head against his chest.

"Tell me what’s on your mind, let me share the burden."

"It’s really nothing." Xia Yinian replied softly.

"Do you think by not speaking, I have no way to deal with you?" Gu Beicheng said with a deeper tone.

"Alright, I do want to see how you still plan to bully me now?"

Xia Yinian stubbornly pursed her lips and deliberately traced circles on his chest with her index finger.

Gu Beicheng’s breath hitched, and he suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Don’t be naughty!"
