Destined with You

Even after she experienced such terrifying events, she preferred to seek Huangfu Ye instead of him.

His eyelashes drooped, concealing the loneliness in his eyes…

…

By the time Beiming Han returned to the North Garden, it was already late. Aunt Zhou saw him enter and immediately came to greet him, wanting to ask if he had eaten. Beiming Han ignored her and went straight into the elevator.

Aunt Zhou, “…”

What’s going on with the young master and the young lady today? They’re both acting strangely…

Looks like the soup she prepared for tonight would go to waste…

Gu Qingxin could only lie on her side now, so that the back of her head wouldn’t hurt as much.

The sound of a knock echoed. Gu Qingxin sat up. Zhou Na pushed the door open and said, “Miss, I’ve made some soup. Would you and the young master like some?”

“I’m not really in the mood for soup… Has the young master… Has he returned?” Gu Qingxin inquired.

“Yes, he has been home for a while and went straight upstairs.”

“Oh,” replied Gu Qingxin, and then asked worriedly, “Has he eaten?”

“I’m not sure. The young master doesn’t look well. Could he be sick again? He had a fever a while ago, and it would be better not to have another one soon. He also has a weak stomach. Could it be his stomach ailment acting up again?”

“What did you say? Beiming Han has a fragile stomach?”

“Yes, it has gotten much better over the last two years, but he used to suffer terribly from stomachaches a few years ago. Doctor Bai treated him for a long time before it got better,” explained Aunt Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingxin felt a sharp pang in her heart. She was not familiar with many diseases, but she knew about stomach ailments all too well because Tang Rongling also had one.

When he had his stomach attacks, she would stay by his side day and night. When he couldn’t keep down food, she made him porridge.

“Aunt Zhou, could you prepare two bowls of porridge? I’ll bring them up.”

“Alright, I’ll prepare them right away.”

“Do we have any leftover porridge from tonight? Please heat up a bowl too.”

“Alright, I’ll heat it up. It will be ready shortly.”

Gu Qingxin got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. After making sure that she looked alright, she left the bedroom.

By the time she reached the kitchen, Aunt Zhou had already prepared both the soup and the porridge. Gu Qingxin carried them into the elevator.

When Gu Qingxin walked out of the elevator, she bumped into Ye Qi who had just left Beiming Han’s study.

Upon seeing her, Ye Qi’s brows furrowed slightly. His eyes fell on her face while his hand, which was behind his back, clenched into a fist…

“Ye Qi, did the young master have dinner tonight?” Gu Qingxin asked.

“No,” Ye Qi responded tersely.

“Then I’ll go bring him some food.”

… Ye Qi didn’t speak, he just entered the elevator and went downstairs.

Gu Qingxin couldn’t help looking back at him, feeling that Ye Qi was acting odd today.

She arrived outside the study carrying the tray, knocked lightly on the door, and then entered.

Once inside, she realized that Beiming Han was not in the study. Gu Qingxin paused; If he was not in the study, could he be in the bedroom?

Gu Qingxin then went to check the bedroom. But when she went in, the bedroom was empty as well. The sound of running water could be heard from the adjacent bathroom…

Gu Qingxin gently knocked on the door, “Young master, I’ve brought you some food.”

Upon hearing her voice, Beiming Han turned off the shower. The sound of the water ceased. He looked toward the door, a ripping pain throbbing in his chest…

“Take it away!” Beiming Han said coldly.

Gu Qingxin, “…”
