Right then, Gu Nianshen was done packing up and had returned.
“Let’s go.”
Gu Nianshen looked at Xi Xia while he spoke. Then, he walked over to Lin Yiqian and very naturally reached for her hand.
At that moment, Lin Yiqian’s negative emotions faded away completely.
She allowed Gu Nianshen to hold her hand while she followed after his footsteps. Meanwhile, Xi Xia walked behind them.
When Lin Yiqian turned her head around, she noticed Xi Xia was looking at them with a bitter smile on her face.
It reminded Lin Yiqian of exactly how she appeared once upon a time.
Back then, Gu Nianshen and Xi Xia only walked next to each other. Although Lin Yiqian never saw them holding hands, her heart clenched in pain every time and she would feel the urge to stand in between them.
“Do you want us to send you home?” Upon arriving at the lift, Gu Nianshen pressed on a b.u.t.ton before turning around to ask Xi Xia.
“I’ve already told Auntie that I’m going to have dinner at our grandmother’s place. You can send me to our grandmother’s,” Xi Xia said softly.
“Alright.” Gu Nianshen nodded.
As it was the CEO’s personal lift, they were able to arrive in the bas.e.m.e.nt in the blink of an eye. They were able to see Gu Nianshen’s car as soon as they stepped out of the lift.
Since Xi Xia was still sick, Lin Yiqian slowed down and walked behind her.
Regardless of what happened, Lin Yiqian still needed to put up an act. She could not make it too obvious that she disliked Xi Xia in front of Gu Nianshen.
However, to her surprise, Gu Nianshen slowed down and walked next to her.
While Gu Nianshen held the car keys in his hand, he got closer to the car until the car automatically unlocked.
Xi Xia was the first to reach the car. She stood in front of the door to the pa.s.senger’s side. As soon as the headlights were turned on, she reached for the handle to open the door to the pa.s.senger’s side.
As Lin Yiqian stopped walking, her facial expression changed.
When Gu Nianshen saw that Xi Xia had opened the door to the pa.s.senger’s seat, he frowned as well.
Then, he noticed that Lin Yiqian had stopped walking. When he turned his head around, Lin Yiqian began walking over to him with her head down. He could not see her face and therefore was unable to tell how she was feeling from her facial expression.
Once Lin Yiqian arrived next to Gu Nianshen, she looked up at him blankly. “Why don’t you send Xi Xia back? I have to take my car with me anyway.”
It was a perfect reason.
As she spoke, Lin Yiqian started walking toward her car. However, Gu Nianshen reached out with his hand to stop her. “Lin Yiqian, I’m very tired. You’ll drive instead.” Without asking if she would agree, Gu Nianshen dragged her over to the driver’s side of the car before opening the door and shoving her inside.
He immediately opened the door to the backseat and got in.
Lin Yiqian remained speechless.
When she turned to look at Xi Xia, Xi Xia was also looking at her. Lin Yiqian chuckled. “I don’t think he’s tired. He’s just making up an excuse. Things will be fine after I give him a beating tonight.”
‘I’m going to burn this car when I get home.’ Lin Yiqian thought.
Gu Nianshen was in shock.
Was the idiot talking about him?
With a frown, Gu Nianshen looked at Lin Yiqian with uncertainty.
Coincidentally, Lin Yiqian had also turned to look at him and was now sticking her tongue out at him.
It was an extremely annoying expression.
Gu Nianshen reached out to the front with his hand close to the door and poked Lin Yiqian on her back.
Feeling both pain and tickly, Lin Yiqian turned her head around to glare at him momentarily before she looked at Xi Xia.
Xi Xia’s smile had become rather unnatural. “Nianshen seems to be much more lively than before.”
“He’s very naughty.” Lin Yiqian shook her head while she turned on the engine.
“It must be because there’s a child at home.” Xi Xia chuckled.
“Ehh…” Lin Yiqian was stunned for a while before she looked over at Xi Xia.
“I was told that a child now lives in the house with you guys,” Xi Xia said confusedly. “That child that you brought along with you to the basketball compet.i.tion the last time.”
