Chapter 1240: You Like Me
Grandma smiled. “Young Master Gong, you’re thoughtful. As the saying goes, if you take advantage of someone’s weakness, people are willing to things you wanted them to do. You’re using money to bribe me.”
Gong Yi curled his lips. “Grandma, I don’t dare, but I’ll still say it. Beibei doesn’t belong here. She’ll have a bigger stage. Let me take her away.”
Take her away?
Grandma was worried.
But she saw Gong Yi’s intentions. She saw the love in her granddaughter’s eyes. That silly girl had fallen in love with this man.
She had once made a wrong decision. Would she be wrong this time?
Grandma held Gong Yi’s hand tightly. “The love feeling can not be controlled. I don’t have the right to ask for your promise. It doesn’t matter if you like her or not. Just don’t bully her and don’t make her sad, okay?”
Gong Yi nodded. “Okay.”
That little girl looked so pitiful. Why would he bully her and make her sad?
He wouldn’t.
The Grandma nodded, “Let her continue her studies. This child is smart. She can learn everything at once. I remember when she was in kindergarten, I locked her up at home. I was afraid that she would be bored. When I went to the county, I bought a digital map and a small calculator for her. She liked it very much and would play with it whenever she was free. Hence, when the other children started learning numbers in the first grade, my Beibei already knows how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. She can calculate faster than anyone else in her heart.”
Was that what had happened?
Gong Yi’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he agreed. “Okay.”
“Beibei, come here for a while,” Granny called out to Bai Beibei.
“Grandma, I’m here.”
Bai Beibei ran over from the kitchen. Gong Yi lowered his gaze and saw the white skirt fluttering about her fair calves. It was so delicate and pleasing to the eye.
“Beibei, you should go back to the capital with Young Master Gong and continue with your studies.”
Bai Beibei was stunned. “Grandma, didn’t you wish for me not to go back?”
“I was just saying that in a moment of anger. Grandma is old and can’t help you anymore. The future depends on you. Girls should learn more and get the ability to find a good job in the future without being bullied. Beibei, you should go. When you have a holiday, remember to come back and visit Grandma. This is your home forever.”
Bai Beibei’s eyes immediately became moist. She was very reluctant to part. “Grandma…”
“Alright, let’s go. Grandma has someone to take care of me. You take care of yourself too.”
Gong Yi stepped forward. He extended his large palm and held the girl’s soft and boneless little hand. In a gentle voice, he said, “Beibei, let’s go. The capital isn’t far from here. When you miss Grandma, I’ll drive you back.”
He suddenly grabbed her little hand. Bai Beibei froze for a moment. His palm was so big that it could wrap around her two little hands. He held her very tightly. His knuckles were strong and powerful, and his dry and warm body temperature continuously seeped into her skin.
Bai Beibei felt as if her little hand had been scalded. She quickly pulled her hand back.
“Grandma, I’ll be going then. I’ll come back to see you on Sunday.”
“Okay.”
Bai Beibei got into the passenger seat and said goodbye to her Grandma with teary eyes.
When the car had gone far away, her Grandma’s figure gradually disappeared. She still used her two little hands to lean against the car window, looking at it with reluctance.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded beside her ear, “You can’t see her, stopped looking.”
Bai Beibei looked back. She twitched her red nose and said softly, “Young Master Gong, thank you.”
Gong Yi looked at her pink and white face. Her eyelashes were long and curly, and there were sparkling tears on them. They would not fall off, and it was very endearing.
He slowly reached out and used his finger to hook her tears.
Bai Beibei was stunned and looked at him.
One of his hands was on her face and the other was on the steering wheel. The bangs on his forehead were soft and he was dressed in white. He was as handsome as a male model on the Paris runway.
Bai Beibei’s little face immediately turned red.
What was he doing?
Gong Yi looked at her big watery eyes and opened his thin lips, “Are you blushing?”
His deep voice entered her eardrums and gave off an ambiguous magnetic field. Bai Beibei felt that her ears were about to get pregnant.
She looked at him in a daze.
She was about to be absorbed in by his peach blossom eyes.
“Why are you blushing? I heard that a girl blushing in front of a man is because that girl likes that man. Bai Beibei, do you like me?”
Bai Beibei’s eyelids twitched, and her heart began to race.
Bang, Bang, Bang. It was so intense that her heartbeat was about to go out of control.
“No.” She quickly waved her hand, firmly waved her hand and frantically explaining, “I don’t, I don’t like you…”
She knew her status. He was so high and mighty, she wasn’t worthy.
She was just… a nanny.
She didn’t dare covet him.
Gong Yi retracted his hand. “You don’t want to cry anymore, right?”
Bai Beibei, …
“I’m just teasing you. Look at how nervous you are.”
He was teasing her?
Bai Beibei used her small hand to touch her frantic heartbeat. Then, she took a deep breath. She was frightened by him.
“Young Master Gong, don’t make jokes like this again.”
She could not afford to take the joke.
Gong Yi looked at her relieved expression. Initially, he just wanted to divert her attention so that she would not cry again. However, when she denied it so firmly and said that she did not like him, for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It was as if he was disappointed.
……
It was night when they returned to the apartment. Bai Beibei ordered two bowls of noodles. After eating, both of them returned to their rooms.
When Bai Beibei woke up the next day, Gong Yi had gone out.
After she tidied up, she went to school too.
In the afternoon, when school was over, Bai Beibei walked on the cobblestones of the school.
At this moment, “Beibei”, a graceful figure walked over.
It was Bai Qi.
Bai Beibei stopped in her tracks and looked at Bai Qi. She called out obediently, “Bai Qi.”
Bai Qi was smiling as she grabbed Bai Beibei’s little hand, “Beibei, I’ve been busy at the company these past few days. I only found out yesterday that my parents kicked you out. I apologize on their behalf. Come, come home with me. I guarantee that my parents won’t make things difficult for you anymore.”
Her parents…
She knew in her heart that they were her parents, not hers.
Bai Beibei shook her head. “I’m not going back.”
“Beibei, if you’re not going back, then where are you going? You don’t have any money on you, and you don’t have any relatives here. Do you want to wander around the streets?”
Bai Beibei didn’t know if Bai Qi had asked this on purpose. Her mother had caused such a ruckus in the hospital, so how could she not know that she was staying at Gong Yi’s place?
She had probably come today to interrogate her.
“I’m staying at Young Master Gong’s place now.” Bai Beibei made it clear that she didn’t like to act with others.
In fact, Bai Qi had gotten to know the situation at Qian Lan’s place. After returning from the hospital, Qian Lan had scolded Bai Beibei at home for an entire day. She had said all sorts of nasty things, and Bai Qi happened to hear it when she returned home.
She was shocked that Bai Beibei hooked up with Young Master Gong right in front of her.
This high and mighty man was indifferent to her, but Bai Beibei was living in his house.
This was simply a bolt from the blue for her.
