“Miss, just call me Aunt Zhou. Young Master said that you can leave as soon as you finish dinner.” Aunt Zhou’s face displayed a comforting smile.
“I don’t want to eat. I’ve been out of touch for so long, my mother must be worried sick. I need to go home right away.”
Having gone through such an ordeal, how could she possibly eat anything?
“Miss, this is Young Master’s order. I’m afraid if you don’t follow it…” Aunt Zhou showed a troubled look on her face.
“Alright, I’ll eat!” With resignation, Gu Qingxin closed her eyes and followed Aunt Zhou to the dining room.
Despite a table full of delicate dishes, Gu Qingxin quickly ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.
“Miss, please drink this bowl of medicine.” Aunt Zhou personally handed a small bowl of medicinal soup to her.
“What’s this?” Gu Qingxin asked, puzzled.
“It’s a contraceptive soup. It’s made from traditional Chinese medicine and has no side effects.” Aunt Zhou explained.
Upon hearing it was contraceptive soup, Gu Qingxin immediately picked it up and drank it without hesitation.
This saves her the trouble of going to the pharmacy for medicine.
Aunt Zhou,
By the time Gu Qingxin got home, it was already afternoon.
Upon entering the house, her mother wasn’t there. Gu Qingxin immediately called her mother. The call was quickly picked up, and her mother’s gentle voice came through, with not a hint of urgency.
“Hello? Qingxin, are you back?”
Gu Qingxin paused, what was going on? She had disappeared since yesterday, and her mother wasn’t worried at all?
“Qingxin?”
“Oh, yes… I’m here.” Gu Qingxin quickly responded.
“Did you have fun with Qianqian?” Lin Yin asked with a smile.
“Fun… yes!” Gu Qingxin was still confused, but she felt relieved that her mother wasn’t worried about her disappearance.
“That’s good.” Lin Yin laughed.
“Mom, please continue with whatever you were doing. I just got back and am a little tired.” The tension inside Gu Qingxin finally relaxed a bit.
“Okay, get some rest then. I’ll cook you something good tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingxin immediately called Bai Qianqian. “Qingxin? Where are you now? Wuuwuu, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for not protecting you. You were kidnapped, and I was forced to lie to Auntie, saying you went out with me.” Bai Qianqian spilled everything before Gu Qingxin could get a word in.
It turns out that after Gu Qingxin was kidnapped yesterday, Bai Qianqian was also made to get in the car by those people. They did not harm her but made her call Lin Yin.
Those people used both hard and soft means, repeatedly assuring that Gu Qingxin would be safe since she knew the man.
Knowing that Lin Yin was not in good health and fearing she would fall ill from worry, Bai Qianqian had to compromise and make the call.
“Qianqian, I’m fine, thank you!”
Fortunately, Mom didn’t know. Fortunately, Mom’s okay.
“Thank me? Don’t you dare thank me. I was scared to death, Gu Qingxin. Who the hell is that man? Do you really know him?” Bai Qianqian was still frightened when she thought about it.
“I don’t know him. I’ll explain if 1 get a chance.” Gu Qingxin chatted a bit more with her, then she ended the call.
The next moment, a week passed by.
Beiming Han did not reappear for that week, and Gu Qingxin’s previously anxious heart finally began to settle down.
After what happened… they should be through with each other, right?
Ming City is so big, they probably won’t run into each other again.
Gu Qingxin comforted herself and continued to live her life.
However, she would often wake up from terrifying nightmares at night….
