Chapter 11 Will You Agree to My Request

Back then, Xing Beiyan believed that the young girl was amazing because his wounds actually stopped hurting right after she blew on them. He wanted to be with her. That way, he would never have to be afraid of pain again. Xing Beiyan held firmly onto this belief, even though the young girl had already forgotten him. “It’s not your fault. I shouldn’t have forced you like that.” He let out a sigh. “Well then, let’s live a good life together from now on, shall we? I won’t act willfully anymore,” Gu Xi said while she thought, ‘I want to love you properly.’ Her eyes grew slightly red, but she still could not bring herself to say that last sentence. “Okay, Xixi. You said it yourself, so don’t regret it.” Xing Beiyan’s heart thudded. Was his Xixi truly willing? In any case, he did not want to let go of her again. “Xixi will never regret it,” she promised solemnly. Xing Beiyan felt his heart tremble. “Will you agree to my request?” Gu Xi lifted her face and looked at him. “Yes, you can do whatever you want.” He reached out and pulled her into his embrace before resting his chin on her soft, silky hair. While he was saying these words, a sudden thought occurred to him and caused him to narrow his eyes warily. “You have to behave properly on campus. If I happen to find out that you’re spending time with anyone you shouldn’t be hanging out with…” “There’s no such person, and there won’t be anyone like that. Such a thing will never happen.” As she relaxed and rested her head against his chest, Gu Xi felt that nothing could make her feel more at ease than being with him like this. She knew who Xing Beiyan was talking about. However, she was not going to give that scumbag a chance in this life. “Alright, alright, I haven’t even eaten. I’m starving.” When her gaze fell upon the small bowl on the table, she sat up in her seat at once. She picked up a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs with her chopsticks, closed her eyes in enjoyment as she munched on it, and said, “Delicious.” When he saw the girl whom he loved looking so happy and adorable, Xing Beiyan felt peace in his heart that he had never, in all his life, experienced before. Then, as he stared at the sauce on her pink lips, his eyes darkened slightly. “Let me have a taste.” Before Gu Xi could say “okay”, a dark silhouette had leaned in close to her. By the time she realized what had happened, the guy had already raised his head and was mimicking the way she was munching on her food while speaking in a mischievous manner, “Indeed, it’s delicious.” Gu Xi’s face flushed red instantly. ‘This guy is way too naughty!’ “I’ll feed you.” When Xing Beiyan saw that she could not even hold her bowl properly after being kissed by him, an amused look flickered in his eyes, and he took the bowl from her hands before he started his feeding mission. “I can eat on my own. Um-mm… Delicious.” Gu Xi tried to refuse, but before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was stuffed with food. “Does it really taste that good?” Xing Beiyan was astonished to see her enjoying her food. Normally, she always looked disgusted by whatever food that was served at home. What was happening right now? ‘She must’ve had her thoughts straightened out after the suicide attempt!’ Never mind. In any case, this change was good. He liked this Xixi very much. After finishing her meal, Gu Xi went out of the study. In the past, Xing Beiyan usually worked at this time and hated being bothered by others. She returned to her room, turned on the computer and started checking the Gu Family Group’s stock price and current state of affairs. By relying on the Xing family, the company’s share price had risen sharply more than a few times over the years. In other words, the Gu Family Group had been using the Xing family’s fame to prosper and thrive in the business world. As the mouse cursor hovered over a certain photo, Gu Xi smiled coldly. In this photo, Gu Xue’er and Madam Gu were standing on either side of her father, Gu Tianxiang. The caption read, “President of the Gu Family Group brings his wife and daughter along to attend a big evening party as a family. What an enviable sight.” Indeed, what an enviable sight. Gu Xi clicked her tongue twice and then moved on to check the company’s stock prices. Based on what she knew, Gu Tianxiang held only thirty percent of the Gu Family Group’s stock.
