Chapter 413: Chapter 418: Beg me 7

“Take this as your reward for now! When you become a star of commercials, you can introduce me to it then!” Bai Qianqian, giggling, coiled her arm around hers.

“Alright then, since we share both joys and troubles!” Gu Qingxin tilted her head onto her shoulder.

“Oh no, I have to get going!” Gu Qingxin suddenly remembered – she was supposed to be going to Sheng Ming Corporation.

“What’s up? What’s so urgent?” Bai Qianqian looked at her, frowning.

“I’ll explain when I get back.” Gu Qingxin promptly exited.

Bai Qianqian shrugged helplessly, then turned and left as well.

…

Inside the Sheng Ming Corporation, Beiming Han went back to his office after a meeting, picking up his phone to call North Garden.

“You said she came to the company?” Beiming Han frowned.

“Yeah, she originally planned to go to school but ended up at the company.” Aunt Zhou explained.

Beiming Han, “…”

After all this time, it was logical to assume Gu Qingxin should have arrived by now, yet she was nowhere to be seen. She must have gone somewhere else!

After hanging up the phone, Beiming Han coldly shouted, “Ye Qi!”

“Young master.” Ye Qi came in and respectfully bowed to him.

“Explain this to me! What’s going on?” Beiming Han looked at him, displeased.

“This morning, a bodyguard called indeed, Miss wanted to come to the company, I gave the order to let her through.” Ye Qi lowered his head as he responded.

“You dare to defy my orders!” Beiming Han’s voice turned colder.

Ye Qi immediately kneeled down. “Young master, it was my mistake. If you want to punish anyone, punish me.”

The office door was suddenly pushed open, Gu Qingxin rushed in. She had hurried over so her chest was still heaving. She glanced at Ye Qi who was kneeling on the floor and said, “Don’t punish Ye Qi, and don’t punish anyone else. It’s my fault. If you want to punish someone, punish me.”

“Young master, the decision was made by me alone and involves no one else!” Ye Qi repeated.

“Leave and receive your punishment!” Beiming Han’s face was inscrutable as he gave the order.

“Thank you, young master.” Ye Qi stood up and left.

Gu Qingxin anxiously glanced back at Ye Qi, ran over to Beiming Han and said, “You can’t punish Ye Qi! I went to the school on my own, no one else knew, this is my fault alone, you can’t remedy the situation like this!”

“Gu Qingxin, have I been spoiling you too much! When is it your turn to reproach me!” Beiming Han slammed his hand on the desk and stood up. Because he was so much taller than her, he had to look down to see her face.

“I have no right! All I am is a pet that you keep by your side! When you’re in a good mood you dote on me, when you’re not you treat me cruelly!” Gu Qingxin raised her head to look at him, red-eyed. Her heart ached.

“This is how you perceive me?” There was a flash of disappointment in Beiming Han’s eyes.

“Then how should I see you, tell me how I should… if you want to punish, punish me too, I’ll go receive the punishment too!”

The emotions of the past two days erupted. Gu Qingxin turned to leave, but her arm was grabbed and she was dragged back by Beiming Han. His large hand tightly gripped her arm, and he said, word by word, “If you dare to go, I will double Ye Qi’s punishment!”

Gu Qingxin’s eyes widened abruptly. His grip on her was intense, as if he intended to crush her, and his gaze was even more ominously threatening.
