Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Squandering Heavenly Gifts

Ye Shushu kept struggling, but she had no ability to resist at all.

Ye Shushu was really a bit flustered, wasn’t everything fine just now? How did it suddenly turn out like this?

Why choose him? "He," who does it refer to? She really wanted to ask clearly.

However, now she didn’t even have a chance to speak, as if her lips had been bitten.

Why go to his house? Was he referring to Tianyi? That day she left with Tianyi, leaving him behind, did he really mind?

Besides, hasn’t it been a long time since? What’s with him now?

After a moment of stalemate, Gu Feimo finally stopped.

He released her lips, slid down her body, and lay flat on the bed.

Ye Shushu turned her head to look at him, now calm, taking deep breaths continuously.

His voice was a bit hoarse, filled with a deep loneliness.

Looking at his fading profile, Ye Shushu remembered the fact that his parents died when he was young.

She should have known earlier that behind Senior Mo’s strong exterior, there is a vulnerable side.

Right now, he must be very afraid of being abandoned.

Ye Shushu tugged at the shredded pieces of her clothing, turned to her side, and embraced his shoulder.

"I’m not leaving."

Though her lips were still in pain, eyes a bit chilly, and heart filled with lingering fear, she didn’t want to leave now.

She wanted to accompany him, at least not leave tonight.

The man beside her didn’t refuse, Ye Shushu rested her head on his shoulder.

Right now, doesn’t she also need a solid shoulder?

Let’s pretend tonight is a beautiful dream, and when the dream ends, I’ll make plans...

...

In the past two days, Xia Yinian mostly spent her free time at the small house behind Jing Garden.

When she wasn’t there, Shen Qing continued doing her own things.

But, whenever Xia Yinian was present, they mostly discussed matters related to alchemy and medicine.

There’s still a competition going on, which is of utmost importance; other matters can only be considered later.

Time arrived at the sixth afternoon, when the semi-final results came out.

Shen Qing wore a short white down jacket, paired with black long pants and long boots.

She looked extremely capable, reserved, a true success in the workplace.

A face not yet thirty, paired with a figure even a twenty-year-old girl would envy, truly appearing no older than twenty-five.

Xia Yinian still wore that long white down jacket, with a white hat, both cute and feminine.

The two women walked together, completely like sisters.

Their both pleasing and remarkably similar pointed faces attracted a lot of attention.

Xia Yinian and Shen Qing walked in front, followed by Ye Shushu and Yuan Yaying.

If it weren’t for Xia Yinian’s earnest request, Shen Qing wouldn’t attend such an occasion.

Because of Shen Qing’s age, and as she is Nian Nian’s mother in name, Ye Shushu and Yuan Yaying showed her great respect.

Returning to the Ye City headquarters, everyone who should come had already arrived.

Xia Yinian held Shen Qing’s hand and sat down, Yuan Yaying and Ye Shushu sat beside them like beans stuck with sugar.

"Sister Qing, staying at Jing Garden every day is truly a waste," Yuan Yaying said with a smile, looking at Shen Qing beside her.
