Gu Qingxin was lying in bed, not wanting to move at all. The only thing she wanted to do was sleep until the world turned dark.

Beiming Han emerged from the washroom and began to study the small apartment closely. Towards the south were two bedrooms, probably belonging individually to the little girl and her mother.

A wooden sofa sat in the living room, adorned with a fruit green cushion. Several simple sketches hung on the wall. Although everything was modest, the ambiance was quite warming.

Approaching the door, he saw the girl laying on the bed. The little one continued to close her eyes in sleep, showing how worn out she was the previous night.

It was already noon. Beiming Han, remembering the noodles Gu Qingxin had cooked for him, turned to enter the kitchen.

Since Lin Yin was admitted to the hospital, nobody stayed in the apartment. Gu Qingxin cleaned the refrigerator the last time she came back, throwing away almost everything. Only a handful of dried noodles remained.

Beiming Han took out the noodles, found a pot, and planned to cook a couple of bowls of noodles, just like the little girl had.

Gu Qingxin, in her drowsy state, caught a strong whiff of something burning. She abruptly opened up her eyes to see Beiming Ilan entering hurriedly with his face blackened with soot. He lifted her from the bed and out the room.

“What happened? Is anything wrong?” A confused Gu Qingxin asked.

“It’s on fire!” Beiming Han quickly responded, already exiting the bedroom and heading for the apartment exit.

Gu Qingxin, seeing the flames spark in the kitchen, gasped, “Did you call 119?”

“No need, the bodyguards will come to put out the fire!” Beiming Han carried her out their building.

Gu Qingxin,”…”

Once they were downstairs, Beiming Han put Gu Qingxin in his car. She looked at the thick smoke billowing from her kitchen window and asked, “How did it catch fire?”

“Back to the office.”

Beiming Han directed the driver with a straight face. He didn’t want her to know that he had accidentally caused the fire when he tried to cook.

This was in no way his fault; it was their faulty gas stove!

“If we go now, what about my kitchen?”

“I’ll arrange someone to repair it!”

Gu Qingxin initially intended to go to school, but Beiming Han insisted on taking her back to the office.

When Lian Qingruo brought the delivery inside, Beiming Ilan just came out of the shower, damp and looking less severe than usual, appearing more gentlemanly.

Lian Qingruo couldn’t help but steal extra glances. Beiming Han shot her a sharp look, sending a chill down her spine.

Beiming Han glanced at the little girl slumping on the couch but didn’t say a word.

Lian Qingruo rushed to say, “Miss Gu, I got you a chocolate mousse cake when I was out. I hope you like it.”

“I love it, thank you.” Although Gu Qingxin was uncomfortable, she managed a polite smile.

“I’m glad. I’ll leave now and come back to pick it up later.” Lian Qingruo could clearly feel the tension in the CEO’s aura lessen after her words.

Beiming Han naturally seated himself beside the little girl. Gu Qingxin, who was already starving, was focused entirely on the food in front of her. Beiming Ilan turned his head, watching her without her noticing, his eyes softening at her chubby little face…

When Lian Qingruo was closing the door, she accidentally caught sight of this scene. Her heart skipped a beat, the image of his tender gaze lingering in her mind even after closing the door.

She couldn’t believe it. The ruthless CEO actually had such a gentle side..
