869 A Million Times for You 231 (2/2)
”I just took a few casual glances.”
Fan Shixin burst into laughter and said, ”Sure, if you say so. I knew this would happen. I've already arranged them beforehand. Young Sir, just stay out of this.”
”Alright, I'll leave it to you, then.”
He ended the call and let out a long sigh.
I wonder how my dainty Xiaoning is doing.
She should be fine.
She'll probably come home within three days, won't she?
”Wake up, Piggy, stop sleeping. It's getting late…” He took a look at the caller display, only to discover that it was Gu Beicheng.
”Hello.”
”I saw the news about you adopting that child. Thank you, Qingyan,” Gu Beicheng said feebly.
Jin Qingyan was pleased to hear his words of gratitude and said proudly, ”Although you ought to thank me, I'm not going to accept it. I didn't do it for you anyway.”
”I know you didn't do it for me. I was thinking to myself that you probably wouldn't accept it and I've also prepared to adopt him and treat him like my own. Jin Qingyan, you're very deserving of Xiaoning's love. It's no wonder she loves you so deeply.”
Jin Qingyan was surprised to hear such kind remarks from Gu Beicheng, especially since the latter was his rival in love. Jin Qingyan grinned and said, ”Well, when you were unconscious, Xiaoning had to deal with your relatives and the shareholders of your company. She even had to clear up the mess you left behind. Gu Beicheng, my Xiaoning treats the Gu family like her own kin. You and Lin Mingxi mustn't let her down in the future. Don't behave like the Jin and Lin families.”
”I definitely won't. My wife, my child, and Xiaoning are the only kin I have left now.”
”Don't think I have no idea that you still love my Xiaoning even until now. You can be her brother, but you'd better stop harboring any feelings for her,” Jin Qingyan scorned with a humph.
Gu Beicheng chuckled and said, ”Hey, Jin Qingyan, aren't you being a little too petty? Can't you see that I'm already married and that my wife is pregnant right now? Xiaoning will forever be my family and nothing more. Do you think you'll get to reconcile with Xiaoning if she really had feelings for me? Jin Qingyan, do you really have that little confidence in yourself?”
”Of course I have confidence in myself.” Jin Qingyan changed the subject and said, ”You seem to be getting farther and farther away from death. Rest well and get better soon. Only then can Xiaoning finally relax.”
”By the way, Xiaoning was taken away by Pei Yi…”
”Don't worry about that, Xiaoning will come home within three days.”
”How did you know?”
”I would've gone there to rescue her if I didn't have that confidence in her.” After some consideration, Jin Qingyan said, ”There are a bunch of netizens shaming Xiaoning online, spreading false news about the kid being her illegitimate son. Since you've got so much free time on your hands now, accept an interview and clarify the matter.”
”Alright.”
After ending the call, Jin Qingyan picked up the photo frame on the table which held a photo of the two of them. He kissed the photo and said, ”Good girl, hurry and come home.”
