Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 856: I’ll Teach You to Swim From Now On

Gu Beicheng looked tenderly at the girl in his arms, then lowered his head to kiss her at the corner of her eye once more.

Xia Yinian bit her lip, meeting the man’s gaze. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Uncle, I want to go see Grandpa."

She knew the situation wasn’t optimistic, but there was still a chance.

"Alright, I’ll take you there."

Gu Beicheng put the girl at the edge of the bed, letting her legs naturally dangle down.

He crouched beside her, gently taking her shoes and slipping them on her feet.

Watching his actions, Xia Yinian instinctively pulled her feet back slightly.

"Uncle," the girl softly called out, her brows slightly furrowed.

Gu Beicheng held her foot, carefully putting on both shoes before looking up to meet her eyes.

"How’s that? Does anything feel uncomfortable?"

The man’s soft gaze, combined with his tender actions, left Xia Yinian momentarily speechless.

Reflecting on the time she fainted by the pond, when Uncle appeared just in time and offered her a warm embrace, Xia Yinian felt deeply moved.

"It’s nothing." She pressed her lips together and shook her head, "Let’s go."

As Xia Yinian withdrew her gaze, a large hand approached to gently support her, helping her to stand.

"In the future, I’ll teach you how to swim." The man carefully helped the girl up, and they slowly walked away from the hospital bed.

Upon hearing Gu Beicheng’s words, Xia Yinian’s eyes nearly filled with tears again.

Yes, she must learn to swim, she absolutely must learn.

Chi He turned around and opened the hospital room door for the two men in front of him.

Perhaps Miss Niannian wanted to learn swimming to save Old Master Feng, but the Seventh Young Master certainly wasn’t thinking the same.

Upon hearing the news that Miss Niannian had fallen into the water, the Seventh Young Master rushed back at breakneck speed like a madman.

That’s why the Seventh Young Master thought to teach Miss Niannian how to swim later.

At the very least, she’ll have the ability to protect herself in similar situations.

With not enough physical strength, most of Xia Yinian’s weight was supported by Gu Beicheng’s large hand.

"Uncle, am I too heavy? Perhaps you should ask Chi He to get a wheelchair."

"Not heavy." Gu Beicheng turned his head to look at her, "Promise me, don’t just jump into the water to save someone."

If the bodyguard hadn’t arrived in time, would the little girl still be lying in bed now?

"That’s Grandpa, even if it risks my life, I must..."

"I said, no!" Gu Beicheng withdrew his gaze, interrupting Xia Yinian’s words.

Sensing the coldness emanating from him, she bit her lip and stopped speaking.

But she really couldn’t agree with him. If Grandpa was in trouble, she couldn’t just stand by; as long as she had breath, she couldn’t ignore it.

The two left the hospital room together, walking along the corridor.

"Uncle, I promise I’ll definitely learn to swim."

He was so good to her; Xia Yinian didn’t want to see him unhappy. But some things she just couldn’t promise lightly.

"Alright." Gu Beicheng nodded slightly, still not looking at her.

Xia Yinian pressed her lips together lightly, unsure of what else she could say.

Her mind was in turmoil, as long as Grandpa was okay, everything else could be sorted out.

Looking at the path ahead, all she could envision was Old Master Feng’s image.

Such a good elder, even the heavens must surely be kind to him.

Xia Yinian closed her eyes, letting Uncle lead her forward.

She sincerely prayed that if Grandpa could overcome this hurdle, she’d be willing to shave off a few years from her life.

Opening her eyes again, she turned her head to gaze up at the sky.

She wondered if God had heard her prayers?
