Chapter 3195: Chapter 3193: Farewell
"Oh? That’s a shame. I thought you two were a couple. Sorry, I misunderstood." Qin Xue couldn’t see them as mere strangers no matter how she looked at them.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference, so claiming there was no relationship was simply impossible.
"Let’s go inside, Xue’er just had a baby. Don’t stand outside for too long." Gu Beihan didn’t say much else, but he glanced at Ying a couple of times. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
"Okay, I’ll go get you some water." Ying stepped aside.
Earlier, she hadn’t seen Qin Xue and the others, which was why she thought only Gu Beihan would be so delighted. Now, seeing the situation unfold, she kept quiet.
"Qin Xue, do you want me to hold the baby for a while?" Ying asked Qin Xue after speaking.
"No need to get the water for me, I’m not thirsty. I’ll just hold him myself, thank you." Qin Xue declined, having no intention of handing her son to Ying. Without knowing what Ying had in mind, she felt it was better to hold him herself.
It’s not that Qin Xue feared Ying would harm the child; she just didn’t want to do anything unnecessary.
Regardless of the situation, Qin Xue wished for things to be good between them. The current situation made her feel truly awkward; it was too uncomfortable.
She glanced at Gu Beihan, wondering whether all this really was okay, given his lack of reaction.
Moreover, Gu Beihan’s reaction to the entire situation was far from what Qin Xue had expected.
Qin Xue didn’t say much else; instead, she looked at Ying, unsure of what she was thinking.
She even wondered if Ying felt exhausted keeping up this kind of relationship. Didn’t she find it difficult to maintain?
"Never mind, you just returned home. You must be tired. Sit down for a bit, I’ll get you some water to relieve the fatigue." Ying was accustomed to things here, so her words didn’t feel inappropriate.
Gu Beihan only glanced at her, wanting to say something, but he chose to keep quiet.
He previously told Qin Xue that Ying was his sister. If he mentioned she shouldn’t worry so much or said something else now, wouldn’t that be contradicting himself?
So, Gu Beihan didn’t undermine Ying.
"You’re injured, you should sit down properly. I’ll get the water." Gu Beihan didn’t let Ying go; instead, he took the items and went to get the water himself.
"No need, you should stay with Qin Xue and the others. They need you more." Ying felt bitter, but she didn’t insist further.
If feelings can be reciprocated, that’s great; if not, she wouldn’t force it.
Maybe she would have acted differently in the past, but not anymore. It’s not that she didn’t want to say or do anything; quite the opposite, she had gained a lot of clarity. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she wouldn’t act out negatively.
"I’ll go." Gu Beihan couldn’t stand seeing her obscure and somber expression; it felt unsettling.
"Alright then, you guys talk. I’ll head off." Ying froze and bid her goodbye.
"Don’t you have a room here? Why not rest at home? You’re injured; don’t tire yourself out." Gu Beihan couldn’t understand what was wrong with Ying. Previously, when she visited, she would intuitively retreat to her own room. She never displayed this kind of behavior before, right?
"No, I have some matters to tend to. I’ll still go home. You should get something to eat and rest. Qin Xue shouldn’t be sitting for too long now." Ying refused.
Previously, she knew that Gu Beihan didn’t have feelings for other women, so staying here didn’t feel inappropriate. However, the current situation was clearly different from before, so what reason did she have to stay?
