Chapter 71: Chapter 76: You Are Mine Now (4)

Translator: 549690339

People generally think Huang Lian (Coptis) is the bitterest herb in Chinese medicine, leading to the popular saying, “A mute tasting Huang

Lian—bitterness that cannot be voiced!”

Actually, the bitterest herb in Chinese medicine is Bitter Sophora Root!

Although Aunt Zhou usually can't decipher Beiming Han's thoughts, this time, she clearly knew that the young master was acting out of spite towards Miss Gu.

Gu Qingxin couldn't help but glance at Beiming Han sitting next to her. He simply raised his chin towards her, signaling her to continue drinking.

Gu Qingxin had no choice but to pick up the bowl under Beiming Han's glare, and downed the entire bowl of medicine. The bitter taste filled her entire mouth, eventually reaching her stomach.

By the time she drank all the medicine, tears were streaming down her face. Aunt Zhou quickly handed her a glass of orange juice. Gu Qingxin gulped it down in one go, barely suppressing the bitterness in her mouth.

“Give you ten minutes, if you can change into something I like when you come back down, I'll let you go to the hospital to accompany your mother during her surgery,” Beiming Han commented casually.

Gu Qingxin was still thinking about how to broach this subject when, to her surprise, he offered to let her go. She was overjoyed, it felt as though the bitter medicine she had just drunk wasn't bitter at all.

“Can I have a bit longer?” Gu Qingxin negotiated with a glimmer of hope.

From the dining room to the bedroom by elevator would take at least three minutes. Round trip would be six minutes, meaning she only had four minutes to change her clothes. The time was too tight!

“Eight minutes!”

Gu Qingxin, “…”

“Just ten minutes!”

She ran out while shouting and rushed into the elevator with the speed of a sprinter…

Upon arriving at the cloakroom, she quickly picked out a pink dress to put on. Without time to comb her messy hair, she grabbed the pink Patek Philippe watch that had been delivered yesterday, wearing it as she headed out.

Inside the elevator, she smoothed her hair down with her hands while looking at the mirror. Her outfit was a pink dress similar to her previous one, just shorter.

The elevator door opened, and Gu Qingxin dashed out. Beiming Han was still waiting at the entrance. She pointed at her wristwatch and said while panting, “I… I did not exceed the time limit.”

Beiming Han stared at her face. Her cheeks were a light pink due to the intense exercise, her lips slightly parted, reminding him of a juicy peach.

This girl was so tender, she was irresistible…

His gaze fell on the watch he had had custom-made for her. Pink really suited her, and the pink dress made her look like a budding rose…

Seeing that he was continuously eyeing her, Gu Qingxin looked down at her clothes, and asked somewhat tentatively, “Are you satisfied with this dress?”

Beiming Han's throat tightened; he moved toward her, scooped her up into his arms, and strode towards the car.

As he settled down on the comfortable couch, he turned to her, whispering in her ear, “Do you now know how to dress?” Hm?”

God seemed to favor this man. Not only was Beiming Han handsome, but he had a particularly pleasant voice. Especially at the moment, his intentionally raised tone was deep and alluring, carrying an undertone of huskiness, making Gu Qingxin's ears turn red…

“Yes, I know now.”

Gu Qingxin blinked vigorously, while grumbling inwardly. He meant she should wear dresses from now on…

This girl was like a poppy flower, becoming more and more addictive to him…

Gu Qingxin took the chance when his grip slackened and dodged his kiss.

In contrast, the man sitting there looked prim and proper. Apart from his slightly heavier breathing, there was practically no change about him.

“Phone when you're done, and have the chauffeur come to pick you up,” Beiming Han handed her a new mobile phone.

“My mother's just had surgery today, can I stay with her overnight?” Gu Qingxin took the phone and asked.

“What do you think?” Beiming Han's eyes suddenly filled with displeasure, the atmosphere in the car dropped several degrees.

“… Alright, I understand. I'm leaving now.” Although Gu Qingxin was upset, she did not want to provoke his anger further. After all, her mother was about to undergo surgery.

As Gu Qingxin was about to push the car door open, her arm was suddenly grabbed by him. She turned back in surprise and met Beiming Han's displeased eyes, “Did you forget something?”

“Thank you for your phone.”

“Besides that!” Beiming Han's brows furrowed even tighter, and his grip on her strengthened.

Gu Qingxin looked at him in puzzlement. Besides that… what else could there be?

“Get out!” Beiming Han, annoyed, pushed her away. He turned his head away and didn't spare her another glance.

Gu Qingxin was startled and did not dare to delay another moment. She promptly opened the car door and got out, running through the hospital doors as if she were fleeing.

This man was way too capricious. She absolutely needed to find a way to earn enough money to pay him back for her mother's surgery as soon as possible!

Beiming Han, slightly irked, rubbed his forehead. He felt bedeviled by this girl. He could not believe that just a while ago, he had actually been expecting a farewell kiss from her…

“Drive!”

By the time Gu Qingxin reached her mother's ward, she learned that her mother's surgery had started in the morning. She blamed herself for being so confused and not checking her mother's surgery schedule.

After asking the nurse for the surgery room's location, she immediately rushed over.

When she arrived, there were already two people outside the operating room.

Why were Gu Huai'an and Gu Yunci here?

Before Gu Qingxin could approach, Gu Yunci, casually seated, began to taunt her, “Aunt Lin's surgery started an hour ago, and you, her daughter, just arrived. You always display such deep mother-daughter affection; it turns out it's all for show.”

“Why are you here?” Gu Qingxin ignored her taunts and asked directly.

“Is this your attitude? You have no manners at all. I am your father, yet you can't even greet me properly. Is this how your mother has taught you?”

Gu Huai'an was already carrying a lot of anger. The explosion at home, although there were no casualties, was still an ominous event.

His business negotiations recently had repeatedly ended in failure, the company's stock price was continuously falling, and bad luck seemed to be coming one after another!

“You have the audacity to mention my mother? Who left her to die! If you really were my father, would you have pushed me towards disaster!”

Gu Qingxin didn't believe for a moment that the proposal from Tang Rongling urging her to agree to marry Meng Zhenglin had been solely his idea..
