Chapter 459: Chapter 464: Deliberate 2
“Oh, how could we impose like that?”
Bai Jingqing finally understood Beiming Han’s intentions, he wanted to stick around for dinner!
“There’s no need to be shy, I’m just sorry that our fare isn’t more sumptuous. Don’t mind us, sir. How should we address you?” Lin Yin saw Beiming Han sitting silently and did not want to ignore him, so she took the initiative to ask.
Bai Jingqing seized the opportunity to take a sip of water, he was not used to talking this much, his mouth was dry.
“You can call me Xiao Bei, aunty.” Beiming Han took the initiative to speak, his tone was filled with humility.
“Pfft~~” Bai Jingqing had just recovered his breath, and spat out a mouthful of water due to his comment.
Xiao Bei?
This kawaii nickname totally doesn’t match ‘big brother’ at all!
“Take your time drinking, no one is rushing you. You’re like a child.” Beiming Han passed him a few tissues considerately.
Bai Jingqing coughed even more severely, he couldn’t handle ‘big brother’s’ gentleness!
“Alright then, you sit. I’ll go see if anything needs to be done.” Lin Yin stood up and went to the kitchen.
“Mom, are they leaving now?” Gu Qingxin asked with wide eyes, hoping that Beiming Han would leave her house soon to avoid her mother noticing anything amiss.
“I’ve invited them to stay for dinner, need to see what else we’ve got.”
“What? Having them stay for dinner? Why are you inviting them for dinner!” Gu Qingxin completely lost her cool. How was she supposed to face Beiming Han casually in front of her mother?
Their relationship was not one that could be revealed to the public!
“Doctor Bai specifically made a house call to check on me, how could I just let them leave? It’s dinner time anyway.” Lin Yin didn’t understand why her daughter was making such a fuss.
“But… they’re men, isn’t that inconvenient!”
“What’s inconvenient about it? When we were at the hospital, Doctor Bai was very caring towards us, it’s just a meal. How’s the meat in the pot?”
“…”
In the living room, Beiming Han gave Bai Jingqing a suggestive look.
Bai Jingqing, “…”
He had no choice but to bravely stand up and head to the kitchen, he said with a smile, “Aunty, you should rest for a bit, I’ll help Qingxin. Considering your current situation, it’s not advisable for you to work too hard, you need to rest more.”
“That’s alright, I can still handle the cooking.”
“Please leave this to us, I’ll keep an eye on it and help out, you should rest for now.” Bai Jingqing took the initiative and took the eggs from Lin Yin’s hands.
“Mom, let Doctor Bai help, we’ll call you when it’s ready.” Gu Qingxin turned her head and said something.
“I feel bad letting you help since you’re our guests today.” Lin Yin politely declined.
“It’s no problem, I often cook at home.”
Lin Yin, indeed feeling somewhat uncomfortable, returned to her room to rest.
“Doctor Bai, you can also go and rest, I’ll handle things here.” Gu Qingxin’s face was full of discomfort as she turned around to check on the stewing beef brisket. It should be ready in about five minutes.
All of a sudden, she felt arms wrapping around her body, Gu Qingxin stiffened for a moment, she knew without turning back who it was behind her.
“You’ve never made beef stew for me before.” Beiming Han’s voice sounded aggrieved.
“Let me go first, it’ll be troublesome if my mom comes out and sees us.” Gu Qingxin tried to break free from his hold.
Beiming Han held her even closer, bent down and kissed her neck, Gu Qingxin gave a hard shudder, calling out in a low voice, “Ah Han, stop fooling around.”
“I also want to try the beef stew you made.” Beiming Han stubbornly said.
