Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1097 - 1101: Everything Will Be All Right

"Oh, Miss Xia, I don’t know if I should say this, but on the day you arrived, Uncle Quan and I both thought you were the Young Master’s girlfriend. Who would have thought that a fiancée would suddenly appear by the Young Master’s side? Uncle Quan blames himself for meddling and causing you pain," Maria approached Xia Qingqian like a mother, reaching out to stroke her hair, her eyes filled with gentle compassion. "But Miss Xia is a good girl, and God will surely look after you."

Xia Qingqian lifted her eyes, brimming with tears, and looked at Maria. Unable to resist, she leaned in and embraced Maria around the waist, whispering, "Maria, I’m fine, thank you." As a child who had never known a mother’s love, Maria’s embrace felt so warm, compelling her to hold on tightly, never wanting to let go.

"Silly child, everything will improve. If you have the time in the future, be sure to visit me and Uncle Quan, alright? We truly don’t want to see you go. During your stay, it was evident that you are a very good child," Maria said, a smile gracing her lips. She then released Xia Qingqian and began serving the meal. "Miss Xia, please eat first."

Xia Qingqian ate her meal with a heavy heart. The sweet and sour pork that Maria prepared wasn’t perfectly authentic, yet it had been made under the Young Master’s specific instructions. She found the taste bitter and difficult to swallow.

Beitang Yao was engrossed in his work at the study desk, appearing as though he wouldn’t be able to stop for twenty-four hours, dedicating himself to his tasks day and night. Observing him ignited a sense of pity and an urge to offer a massage to help him unwind.

The study door creaked open slightly, and Gu Ziqian stood outside, peering through the gap at the man diligently working at his desk. A smile bloomed unconsciously on her lips.

A tall, god-like man such as this was capable of making anyone’s heart flutter upon first sight. How wonderful that he belonged to her, and would be her man in the future. A few days prior, she had received astonishing news that her fiancé would soon be returning to the country. Initially, she hadn't desired this, but after seeing him in person, she found herself more than willing, eager to give herself to him immediately.

His charm was so potent that anyone who beheld him would desperately desire to possess him, forbidding any other woman from getting close. But how could her Brother Yao be involved with another woman? The sounds of that woman’s shameless moans outside Brother Yao’s room made her feel completely unsettled! She felt an overwhelming desire to destroy that woman!

"Who’s there?" A sudden cold voice emanated from the study, startling Gu Ziqian so much that she lost her footing. She pushed the door open and walked in.

"Brother Yao, I apologize; I didn’t mean to interrupt your work," Gu Ziqian said, a bright smile on her face as she approached Beitang Yao directly.

"Why is it you?" Beitang Yao raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling upon Gu Ziqian. His heart felt as though a heavy stone had been dropped into the sea; he was utterly unenthused.

"Who else would it be if not me? Or perhaps Brother Yao wishes it were someone else?" Gu Ziqian teased playfully. She circled the desk and leaned towards Beitang Yao, attempting to steal a kiss.

However, Beitang Yao perceived her intention and moved away, causing her to stumble forward. Her expression soured as she regained her balance, pouting. "Brother Yao, don’t you desire it? What’s wrong with me kissing you? You can sleep with Sister Xia, yet you shun me, your rightful fiancée, from kissing you?"

Beitang Yao stood up, turned around, and coldly gazed at her. He then pinched Gu Ziqian’s chin, his voice laced with ice as he inquired, "Was it you who struck her?"
