Chapter 2587 - 2062: Let’s Start Over 7

Beiming Han sat down, but he didn’t eat any breakfast; instead he just watched her wolfing it down.

They hadn’t seen each other for five years, and the little girl had indeed changed—she’d become even more beautiful. Her features were more exquisite and deep than before, as if every eyelash were God’s finest masterpiece, flawless to the point of perfection.

"Can you get full just by looking at me?" Gu Qingxin lifted her head and glared at him, anger flickering in those dark, bright eyes; yet in his gaze it turned into a silly, coquettish complaint.

So beautiful it was unreal!

"I can." The smile at Beiming Han’s lips deepened, and the way he looked at her grew even more scorching.

Gu Qingxin hated this mouth of hers; she might as well just sew it shut with a needle. What on earth was she saying? He’d definitely think she was worrying about him!

But if she tried to explain now, it would just look like she was covering it up...

She really couldn’t go on interacting with him like this. Fortunately, time was almost up. Gu Qingxin realized that in front of him, she really could hardly control her emotions.

A single gesture of his, or a smile, or a sentence, could make her lose control in an instant!

It shouldn’t be like this!

Under the assault of his gaze, Gu Qingxin finally finished the meal. She immediately got up and went to the living room, picked up her phone and checked it.

There was still half an hour to go.

"Go change your clothes, we’re going to pick up Xia Tian." Beiming Han had only drunk a bowl of millet congee before getting up from the table.

"No need... I’ll go pick him up myself." Gu Qingxin refused.

"It’s not time yet, you have to listen to me... Xin’er, Xia Tian is my son too. I want to say goodbye to him."

"..."

"Of course, if you want to stay and use this half hour to do something else, I don’t mind that either." Beiming Han thought for a moment and added.

Gu Qingxin immediately stood up to go change. She really hated this feeling of being led around by the nose by him, but right now she had no way out. For her son’s sake, she’d endure!

Gu Qingxin grabbed a jacket and came out. Beiming Han was already wearing his; seeing her, he said, "Let’s go, to the North Garden."

The two of them left the apartment one after the other.

In the car, Gu Qingxin sat as far away from him as possible, looking out at the scenery the whole way. Beiming Han didn’t try to force anything on her again; he held his laptop and worked, but he would still look at her from time to time.

...

Bai Jingqing was woken up by his phone ringing and regretted not turning the sound off last night.

He looked at the girl beside him, whose sleep had been disturbed, quickly hung up, then leaned over and kissed Bai Qianqian’s brow, murmuring softly, "Baobei, sleep a little longer."

Bai Qianqian gave a faint "mm," without opening her eyes.

Bai Jingqing got out of bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom. He picked up his phone; the caller ID still showed Bai Mother.

His brows furrowed. He glanced back at the bedroom door, then dialed the number back.

"Hello, what do you need?" Bai Jingqing’s tone was neither warm nor cold.

"So now you’re not even willing to call me Mom? I really don’t know what I’ve done to make you treat me like this!" Bai Mother’s voice was laced with accusation.

What had she done? A chill ran through Bai Jingqing’s heart. Had she done little? In her heart, he probably wasn’t worth even a single hair on Bai Ruiqing’s head.

But there was no point talking about that now. He kept his tone flat as he went on, "Mom, what do you need?"

"Your brother is back. He’s in a very bad state right now. Come home in a while." Bai Mother issued the command.
