Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1139 - 1143: Sis, When I Grow Up

Xia Qingqian found herself speechless, turning her gentle gaze towards Beitang Yao before pursing her lips and taking a sip of her milk.

"Ye Feng is already making the arrangements. Uncle Quan will be returning to the country with us," Beitang Yao said, unable to help himself when he noticed her crestfallen expression.

Xia Qingqian's eyes instantly brightened, and she looked up at him in disbelief, questioning, "Really?"

"Mhm," he responded with a soft nod.

Only after receiving his confirmation did she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

At that very moment, the doorbell chimed. Xia Qingqian exchanged a glance with Beitang Yao before stating, "I'll get it." Seeing his nod of agreement, she rose from her seat and walked towards the intercom. Cheerful voices, a woman's and a child's, immediately filled the air.

Without much thought, she pressed the unlock button, and the door swung open automatically. As a woman and a child appeared before her, Beitang Yao, having finished his breakfast, walked over. Upon seeing the unexpected visitors, he furrowed his brows and asked Xia Qingqian, "Are they here for you again?"

Xia Qingqian's face flushed with awkwardness. She genuinely couldn't fathom why the typically dignified Young Master seemed so agitated whenever Mario appeared. Was he displeased that Mario had come to see her?

The lady, noticing Beitang Yao's seemingly displeased demeanor, nodded and offered him a smile. She then presented a gift box to Xia Qingqian, softly remarking, "Qing Qian, thank you for looking after Mario. I heard you were returning to the country today, so Mario and I chose these gifts for you as a memento."

"Sister, when will you come back to see Mario?" Mario detached himself from the lady's side and dashed towards Xia Qingqian, grasping her leg and choking up. "Sister, wait until I grow up; I will definitely marry you!"

Beitang Yao's expression darkened considerably upon hearing this. He strode forward and pulled Mario away from Xia Qingqian. "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? By the time you're grown, she'll be an old lady with gray hair. Would you still want to marry her then?"

An inexplicable anger ignited within him, refusing to subside. This little brat was incessantly pursuing his woman, truly playing with fire!

Standing to the side, Xia Qingqian's expression soured as Beitang Yao's words registered. The Young Master had just implied she would be an old, gray-haired lady, which left her feeling a bit dazed.

"Oh dear, Mr. Beitang, please be gentle; don't hurt my darling!" The lady waved her hands in the air frantically. She was too apprehensive to step forward and shield her own son, resorting instead to pleading nonstop.

"Then don't let him spout nonsense in front of my woman! What kind of upbringing is this? Utterly devoid of manners!" Beitang Yao shot a cold glance at the lady before releasing Mario into her arms. "Take these gifts back with you as well. I will not permit her to accept them."

Beitang Yao returned to Xia Qingqian's side, his gaze fixed on her sternly. He snatched the gift box from her hands and tossed it aside. He absolutely refused to allow Xia Qingqian to accept these items of unknown origin!

There was no need for politeness with them; to dare speak such words openly to his woman clearly indicated they had no desire to live!

"Young Master! Children speak without thinking!" Xia Qingqian took a deep breath, saying hastily and in a flustered manner.

As soon as the words left her lips, she instinctively took several steps back, realizing with a sinking heart that she had made yet another mistake! She had addressed him as "Young Master" again and had no idea what repercussions awaited her this time.
