Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Hearing his evaluation, Xia Qingqian became a bit nervous: ”Young Master Che, how can I be compared to Grandma? Although I’ve never met her, I believe she must be a beautiful socialite. I’m just an ordinary girl, unworthy of being compared to her. I can’t bear it...”

”Ah, it’s my mistake! Qing Qian, I’m sorry.” Beitang Yao immediately apologized upon realizing his slip of the tongue.

”Young Master Che, didn’t you say we were going for a walk?” Xia Qingqian smiled slightly, hurriedly changing the subject.

Beitang Yao lowered his head to look at the girl right in front of him. The moonlight fell on her delicate, flawless face, making her features appear even softer and more enchanting. At that moment, gazing at her gentle profile, with eyelashes long and thick like a fan, her petite and delicate nose, and soft pink lips, his heart sank instantly...

”Qing Qian, you are truly beautiful...” Beitang Yao gazed deeply at her, and those words slipped out involuntarily.

Xia Qingqian, who was walking leisurely, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this. She wasn’t foolish and understood what a man was thinking when he complimented a woman’s beauty. She tried hard to make her smile appear natural. She turned around slowly and said lightly, ”Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Che!”

Beitang Yao also noticed his faux pas, gave a few symbolic coughs, and explained, ”I mean, you are like the bright moon in the starry sky, inadvertently exuding a fragrant beauty. However, you are indeed a beautiful girl.”

”Young Master Che, excuse me, I need to take a call!” Xia Qingqian felt the phone vibrating in her bag. She quickly took it out, stepped aside a few steps away, and answered it: ”Yao! Have you arrived? Are you tired?”

”Are you still not asleep? If you can’t sleep alone, go to Huan’s room and have her sleep with you.” The man’s voice on the phone was slightly weary but filled with concern for Xia Qingqian.

”I just got back from Grandpa’s. I can sleep alone! Don’t worry about me, just focus on your work! And make sure to take care of yourself and stay safe. Don’t overwork yourself!” Xia Qingqian knew Beitang Yao must have squeezed in a moment to call her, so she spoke quickly, racing against time.

Beitang Yao also heard her panting, shook his head, and said, ”Qian Qian, you can speak slower. I have time to listen to you.”

Upon hearing this, even though he couldn’t see her, Xia Qingqian’s face blushed a faint red. She stuck her tongue out, ”Am I not taking up your time?”

”No, I called you just to hear your voice. Are you okay now?” Beitang Yao’s voice was extraordinarily gentle, transmitted through the fiber optics into Xia Qingqian’s ears.

As she listened, her heart felt warm, her lips curled slightly upwards, and her eyes were filled with tenderness, which Beitang Yao could see clearly from afar. His eyes turned dim.

”Mm, I’m okay!” Xia Qingqian almost squealed. Such a Beitang Yao was indeed a rare sight. Hearing his sincere concern, her heart seemed to beat only for Beitang Yao.

”Yao, you should rest early too. I won’t disturb you! Focus on your work. I will take good care of myself and won’t cause you any trouble!” Even though she was unwilling to hang up so soon, Xia Qingqian couldn’t occupy too much of Beitang Yao’s time. ”Make sure you stay safe! Eat on time!”
