Chapter 409: Arrested And Beaten

Gu Qingyao turned pale. She knew without asking what had happened.

She turned and ran to look for Mo Beihan.

That day, Mo Beihan was still at work. It happened to be lunchtime when Gu Qingyao came looking for him. Mo Beihan immediately frowned when he saw that she was covered with snow and her little face was blue with cold. “What are you doing out here on such a cold day? What has happened?”

Gu Qingyao knew they would certainly want food when they came back, so she prepared some dishes and waited for them.
