Chapter 961: Chapter 966: Engagement Banquet 11 Chapter 961: Chapter 966: Engagement Banquet 11 If it weren’t for her wellbeing, why would he demean himself like this?

…

Gu Qingxin leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat that was faster and stronger than usual. She lifted her head and looked at him earnestly, saying, “If you really get married to Long Xuxu, I will leave.”

Beiming Han looked at her serious expression, a promise evident in his dark eyes. He gently touched her cheek and said, “I won’t marry her.”

Beiming Han knew clearly that her being with him meant that she was constantly demeaning herself.

A knock sounded on the door, and the voice of Long Xuxu echoed from outside, “Han, are you in there? Most of the guests have arrived downstairs, we should go and toast them.”

Upon hearing Long Xuxu’s voice, Gu Qingxin’s heart tightened. Almost reflexively, she shrank into his arms, biting her lip. At this moment, she felt like an existence that couldn’t bear the light.

Beiming Han cast an displeased glance at the door, lightly patting her back, “Rest a little longer, no one will bother you. I have asked Ye Qi to prepare a new dress for you.”

“Oh.” Gu Qingxin’s voice was slightly dull.

Beiming Han knew that he had wronged her. He kissed her lips gently, got up, picked up his clothes, and started dressing.

“You can go first, I’ll be down soon,” he said indifferently, without a hint of emotion.

Long Xuxu wanted to barge in, but she couldn’t. Today was her engagement day with Beiming Han. As long as they get engaged, Gu Qingxin would officially be considered the third wheel.

“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” Long Xuxu had no intention of leaving; she stood still outside.

She had nearly lost control of herself. She knew, Gu Qingxin was in there and even on Beiming Han’s bed.

That despicable wench, dared to come and disgust her on her engagement party.

Beiming Han slowly finished dressing and gave her forehead another kiss before he turned to leave.

As he opened the door, he blocked Long Xuxu’s line of sight, then shut the door behind him as he stepped out.

Gu Qingxin sat up on the bed, hugging the quilt tightly, feeling a little bewildered. In her current state, how would Ye Qi send her a dress?

The door was knocked, Gu Qingxin instantly hid herself completely under the quilt.

“Miss, may I come in?” The voice of Ye Qi echoed.

“You can,” Gu Qingxin said, lying motionless under the quilt.

Ye Qi pushed the door open and walked in, his gaze landing on the bulging area of the bed. His heart pounded as he turned to place the new dress on the nearby table, before quickly leaving the room in a flustered manner.

Gu Qingxin didn’t move from under the quilt until she heard the door closing.

How embarrassing, once again, in front of Ye Qi.

Gu Qingxin put on the dress and opened it up. To her surprise, the dress resembled a wedding gown: it was white. Considering the situation, she didn’t have any other choice.

Thankfully, it was a modest design, not too revealing. The sleeves were made of thin layers of gauze, making her delicate arms faintly visible, fueling the imagination all the more.

Gu Qingxin redressed her hair carefully and made sure nothing was amiss before leaving the room.

Ye Qi was still waiting outside for her. Upon seeing her, he led her to Xiao Yi’s room.

Lieyan was playing with toys with Xiao Yi. He eyed the girl who had left and come back in a different dress, his gaze growing more peculiar.

Gu Qingxin noticed something off in his gaze and chose to act as if she didn’t notice.
