Destined with You

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1342: Help Me 8

Lately, Beiming Han has been coming home quite late. Gu Qingxin, tired from teaching all day, and now heavily pregnant and sleepy, is already in bed by the time he returns each night.

Gu Qingxin is not sure why he is coming home late. She doesn’t know if it’s because of work, or if he’s avoiding her.

Despite trying not to overthink things, his recent unusual behavior still made her uneasy.

Whenever Beiming Han comes home, Gu Qingxin is actually awake. Even if she has fallen asleep, her subconscious mind is always waiting for him.

Yet, even though she’s awake, she continues to pretend to be asleep. Eventually, she falls asleep for real.

By the time she gets up the next morning, Beiming Han has already risen. Nowadays, the only time they see each other is at the breakfast table.

Recently, Gu Qingxin’s morning sickness has worsened, but she tries to hide it from him. She asks Aunt Zhou to prepare light breakfast for her every day to help with this.

The breakfast table is quiet, with little exchange between them.noveldrama

Watching the two of them eating silently, Ye Yingsu couldn’t bear it anymore as even the normally talkative Gu Qingxin had fallen silent. She put down her knife and fork and asked, “What’s going on with you two?”

Beiming Han looked up at her, looking completely baffled, “What do you mean?”

“Gu Qingxin, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been so quiet lately.”

Yes, he hadn’t changed, he was still very reticent. But Gu Qingxin wasn’t as cheerful as she used to be.

“I’m not feeling very well,” Gu Qingxin said, looking up and smiling at her.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Yingsu frowned at her.

“What’s wrong? After breakfast, I’ll call Bai Jingqing to come and check. Is there something specific you are feeling?” Beiming Han asked, holding her hand with concern.

“It’s probably just normal pregnancy symptoms. I don’t need anyone to look at me, let’s eat. Ye Yingsu should eat more,” Gu Qingxin said with a smile, but it seemed forced.

“You!” Ye Yingsu looked at Beiming Han. “She’s pregnant now. What are you doing every day? Don’t you know that she needs your care right now?”

“Where exactly are you not feeling well?” Beiming Han rose to his feet and pulled her into his arms.

“I’ve told you, it’s just normal pregnancy symptoms. Stop freaking out. I’m full. You guys keep eating.” Gu Qingxin pushed away his arm and left the dining room.

Beiming Han watched her go, frowning. Just as Ye Yingsu was about to say something, he had already gone after Gu Qingxin.

“Are you angry?”

Beiming Han entered the room to find Gu Qingxin packing her bag. He noticed that her expression was not good.

“No…I’ve told you, it’s just normal pregnancy symptoms. I’m going to be late for school. I’m going first.” Gu Qingxin swung her bag onto her shoulder, sidestepped him, and attempted to leave.

Beiming Han caught her in his arms and explained, “I’ve been really busy lately. Huangfu Ye got injured and couldn’t work, so I’ve had to take over half of his work.”

“I know. I’m fine. I’m going home for dinner with my mom tonight and will be back late.” Gu Qingxin then realized this information wasn’t really relevant considering he was always home later than her.

“I’m going now.” Gu Qingxin firmly removed his hand, took a few steps, and then suddenly turned around, “Are you guys buying my dress or not?”

“…”

“Didn’t you agree to two million? Or were you just trying to trick Aunt Zhou…..”

“No, it’s true.” Beiming Han looked at her, his eyes deep and serious.

Gu Qingxin nodded, “When can we sign the contract?”

“Qingxin…”

“I want the money.” Gu Qingxin said straightforwardly.
