Chapter 1584: Chapter 1589: You’re Sleeping in the Study Room Tonight5
In this world, if anyone knows Beiming Han best, it would be Guan Yue. This man, once he decides on someone, would treat her exceptionally well without condition.
He once chose her, but now, he has chosen Gu Qingxin.
"Okay." Beiming Han nodded.
Guan Yue went to the third-floor study just as Gu Qingxin came out of the bedroom. They both stood at opposite ends of the room, their gaze met.
Guan Yue was the first to smile as she greeted, "Miss Gu, I am here to collect some things I left behind."
Guan Yue’s tone was calm, not at all confrontational. Yet, to Gu Qingxin, it was irksome to listen to.
"Oh, please take whatever you need, Miss Guan. It would even be better if you could take them all at once. I plan to get it cleaned. After all, there is no point keeping old stuff around." Gu Qingxin also had a faint smile. Guan Yue was indeed quite a character.
"If I were to take them all at once, I would need help. There’s so much!" Guan Yue’s wink was alluring, with her radiant red lips slightly parted.
Gu Qingxin felt a lump in her throat; she glared at her and decided to ignore her.
When Gu Qingxin passed the study, Guan Yue had gone in. After a moment’s consideration, she turned and followed her in.
"Miss Gu, are you here to watch me take my things?" Guan Yue headed straight for the bookshelf, starting to look for books.
"Yes, I’m afraid you might accidentally take my things." Gu Qingxin walked to the sofa and sat down.
"I haven’t seen any of your belongings here, Miss Gu. It’s exactly the same as when I was here!" Guan Yue spoke gently, almost in a tender manner. However, every word she said was a veiled attack.
"So what if the things remain the same?" Gu Qingxin wasn’t going to let herself be the losing side.
True enough, Guan Yue paused. Indeed, what good is it for the things to stay the same? The heart mattered the most.
"I’m missing two books. Have you seen them, Miss Gu?"
"Oh, I took them. I don’t know where Aunt Zhou put them, maybe she got rid of them." Gu Qingxin said in a nonchalant manner.
"You actually touched the books on the shelf?" Guan Yue muttered, unsure whether she was asking Gu Qingxin or speaking to herself.
"Does it surprise you?" Gu Qingxin blinked at her.
"..."
"Miss Gu, I didn’t mean to confront you, but... I won’t hide it, I came back for him!" Guan Yue finally declared after a deep breath.
Him? She was referring to Beiming Han!
"And then? He is now my husband, and my child’s father." Gu Qingxin’s voice was full of certainty.
"If I hadn’t had that incident five years ago, he should be my husband, my child’s father now." Guan Yue said.
"You have also admitted it’s an ’if.’ Does the world even work on ’ifs’? "
"Miss Gu, you won’t understand my feelings for Han. You won’t know how much I have suffered for him... And therefore, I am not going to give up on him."
"I don’t need to understand your feelings, and I don’t want to know about your past. All I need to know is that Beiming Han is my husband, and my child’s father, that’s enough." After Gu Qingxin finished speaking, she stood up and smiled, "Miss Guan, please take your time."
"If you knew the depth of our feelings, you wouldn’t say that." Guan Yue was exceptionally confident.
"You still have... traces of me from back then."
Gu Qingxin was silent, "..."
"I’ve asked Beiming Han, and he said we’re not alike at all." Gu Qingxin left the room with a sweet smile on her face.
Guan Yue paused for a moment, then continued to collect her books.
