Even Luo Qi herself had forgotten that Shi Xiaonian had not actually met Gong Jue in person. If she had not bothered to talk to Shi Xiaonian today, Shi Xiaonian would not have walked into the study out of curiosity again.
Now, it's too late.
substitute
The person she saw yesterday was a stand-in
"A whole year?"
Shi Xiaonian asked in shock and surprise, what did this mean.
"Four years ago, in terms of Chinese New Year, it has to be five years ago, right?" Luo Qi whispered, stroking the transparent coffin lid with his fingers, "At that time, I had a bad time with you at Gong Ou's birthday party. But if he comes back, he won't be able to do it."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was shocked, "You mean, it's been four years since Gong Jue died?"
in astonishment
In other words, Gong Jue has been dead for as long as Gong Ou has been missing.
“…”
Luo Qi stood there quietly.
Shi Xiaonian walked out against the wall and looked at Luo Qi as she said in disbelief, "You froze him for four years?"
It's so incredible.
Shi Xiaonian covered her lips, unable to digest the fact that Gong Jue was dead. Luo Qi put her husband in a coffin and froze for four full years, and also trained a substitute to pretend to be her husband
What on earth does she want to do
Is there something wrong with her mentally
“…”
Luo Qi did not answer her question, but just stood there staring at her husband in the coffin, tears falling down her beautiful face, which was both sad and made people want to run away.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't stand Luo Qi's behavior, so she turned around and ran out. Before she could run far, she was stopped by someone.
Charles stood at the bookshelf, wearing a regular butler's uniform and white gloves, with a reserved expression on his face with a pure Western outline, standing in front of her.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly and took two steps back, "Do you know about this? Or were you also involved?"
"My wife can't do it alone."
So Charles really had a hand in this whole thing
"Are you crazy?" Shi Xiaonian looked at him in shock, "You froze his father's body without telling Gong Ou for four years, and you also made a fake one. What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that Gong Ou will find out? "
She said as she stepped back step by step.
Charles stared at her with a pair of eyes, and moved closer to her step by step, "As long as the young lady doesn't tell anyone, it will be fine."
"What do you want to do?"
Shi Xiaonian stepped back desperately and looked at him in fear, "Charles, don't mess around. Gong Ou will not let you go. You should understand this."
Shi Xiaonian retreated to the cabinet. Charles saw the opportunity and stepped forward to catch her. Shi Xiaonian quickly dodged and tried to run. Charles rushed up and used a grappling move on her.
She was no match for a housekeeper like them, so she had no choice but to catch him.
"boom."
Charles grabbed Shi Xiaonian and pushed him to the other side of the partition door. Shi Xiaonian hit the wall and looked at the two of them in fear, with many thoughts flying through his mind.
Luo Qi stood there, looking at her sadly with a pair of eyes. Charles stood beside Shi Xiaonian, not giving her a chance to escape.
"Are you going to trap me here?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, his face pale.
Charles looked at Luo Qi, waiting for her instructions.
The ringtone of Shi Xiaonian's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the strange room.
She took out her cell phone, but before she could see who was calling, the cell phone was taken away by Charles. Charles glanced at the cell phone, and then asked Luo Qi, "Madam, it's the second young master calling."
"Hang up."
Luo Qi said, reaching out to wipe away the tears on his face. Charles was about to hang up the phone when Luo Qi said again, "Wait, let her pick up, otherwise Gong Ou will be back soon."
She knew very well the importance of Shi Xiaonian to Gong Ou, and she had to answer this call, otherwise she would not be able to hide anything.
"Young madam, here you go, please speak nicely."
Charles had just caught her here and asked her respectfully to speak properly.
Shi Xiaonian took the phone and looked at the two of them. As soon as she clicked on the call, Charles stepped forward and grabbed her neck. As long as she said something wrong, he could end her life.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there, frowning tightly, looking at the coffin, then answered the phone and suppressed her fear.
"Shi Xiaonian, are you okay?"
As soon as the call was connected, Shi Xiaonian heard Gong Ou ask with a face full of anger.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned. How did he know that something was wrong with her now? She was really going to be killed by her curiosity.
Charles' hand tightened on her neck.
"Shi Xiaonian, speak!"
Gong Ou shouted over there, his voice filled with urgency.
Shi Xiaonian wanted to tell him to come back soon, but he didn't know that his father had passed away, and she was still controlled by Charles.
Rocky and Charles looked at her.
"I'm fine, what can happen to me?"
Shi Xiaonian spoke out, trying to maintain her calmness. She heard Gong Ou sigh in relief after hearing these words. He then asked in a domineering tone, "What are you doing?"
"Me?" Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, looked at the coffin in front of him, and then said, "I hung a new painting in the study room. You can see it when you come back."
If Charles and Luo Qi really want to do something to her, she said so, Gong Ou at least knows where to go when he comes back.
He is so smart, he must understand.
Regarding her words, Gong Ou said a few words without any doubt and hung up the phone.
"Hang up." Shi Xiaonian put down the phone in his hand and said, looking at them with black and white eyes, "What else do you want to do?"
"Young Madam, you really shouldn't have entered this study, and you shouldn't have revealed this secret that has been hidden for four years."
Charles said.
so what
Do you want to kill her and silence her
Shi Xiaonian's heart dropped, her body became cold, and her heart was full of fear.
…
As the night gradually fell, Gong Ou accompanied Gong Yu to dine in the restaurant.
Without Shi Xiaonian by his side for a whole day, Gong Ou even cut the steak with absent-mindedness, his eyes wandered, and the food he ate in his mouth had no taste at all, and it was so boring that he wanted to vomit.
If Gong Yu hadn't left tomorrow, Gong Ou really wouldn't have let him miss her all day long when he left.
Gong Ou bit into the steak. After biting for a long time, he finally spat it out in disgust.
"Is it so boring to eat with me?"
Gong Yu sat across from him and asked, frowning slightly. This chef was a top-notch chef, and Gong Ou could actually eat until he vomited it out.
"This steak is too fried!"
Gong Ou was disgusted and threw the knife and fork in his hand on the table, making a clanging sound, showing no etiquette that a descendant of a noble family should have.
Gong Yu shook his head, handed him a glass of lemonade, and said, "Okay, rinse your mouth and go. I see that your heart has already flown to Xiao Nian, why do you care about getting together with me."
He had already seen that Gong Ou's heart was no longer here.
"I should bring her here today!"
Gong Ou made no secret of his longing for Shi Xiaonian. On this day when she was not with him, he became restless and wanted to fly away immediately.
"Okay, let's go back."
Gong Yu let him go.
"Um."
Gong Ou stood up from the dining table and turned around to leave without any hesitation. Suddenly, he turned back to look at Gong Yu, with deep black eyes and a magnetic voice, "I'll see you off tomorrow, wait!"
"good."
Gong Yu smiled elegantly.
Gong Ou left and didn't wait for anyone to open the door for him. He got into the driver's seat and drove away. He kicked the accelerator and the car sped off. Feng De and his men quickly caught up with him.
Gong Ou drove the express car all the way into Gong's house, braked suddenly and stopped in front of the castle, opened the door and ran inside.
"boom!"
Gong Ou pushed open the bedroom door forcefully, "Shi Xiaonian, I'm back!"
The bedroom was empty.
Gong Ou ran into the bathroom and searched but couldn't find it. An unreasonable fear instantly occupied his heart. He quickly ran out and shouted to the servant, "Where is Shi Xiaonian?"
"Young Madam?" the maid was stunned, "I don't know, I've never seen her."
"Damn it! Get away!"
Gong Ou pushed her away and ran outside. While making calls on his mobile phone, he ran towards the place where the twins were studying. The two children were still studying and the tutor was giving them lessons.
"Where is Shi Xiaonian?"
Gong Ou asked with a frown.
Gong Yao and Gong Kui looked at him at the same time, with blank expressions on their faces. Gong Kui shook her little head like a rattle, "I don't know, Mom spent so little time with us today."
How little
While he was away, she should prefer to be with the children.
Shit!
Gong Ou cursed lowly and walked out, taking longer steps with his long legs. He held the phone in his hand and listened to the ringtone inside, "Shi Xiaonian, answer the phone for me! Answer the phone for me immediately!"
Where have you gone!
As the bell kept ringing, Gong Ou became more and more panicked and ran around in the huge castle.
"I hung a new painting in the study, you can see it when you come back."
A voice rushed into his memory.
His study
Gong Ou continued to dial the phone and ran upstairs. He kicked open the door of the study room anxiously and angrily. The light in the study room was bright. Shi Xiaonian was sitting in front of the desk, holding his face with his hands and thinking thoughtfully. What.
Hearing the sound of the door being kicked, Shi Xiaonian looked at him in surprise, "Gong Ou, are you back?"
“…”
Seeing her sitting there intact, Gong Ou's heart instantly sank, finding its rightful place, and her tense body relaxed.
But anger soon rose up in his body.
"boom!"
Gong Ou slammed the phone to the ground, walked up to her angrily, and shouted angrily, "Shi Xiaonian, what are you doing, why don't you answer my call?"
Ever since his eyelids started to twitch in the afternoon, he had been in an inexplicable panic and wanted to fly back to her immediately.
She actually refused to answer his phone.
"Ah?" Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, stood up and took out his mobile phone, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, the phone is out of battery, I didn't even care."
"No battery? You don't know how to charge when there is no battery?" Gong Ou yelled angrily, "How much time will it take you to charge? Don't you know that I will look for you, or don't you know that I will worry about you?"
Seeing his angry look, Shi Xiaonian understood that what he did was wrong, "I'm sorry, Gong Ou, I won't... um next time."
Gong Ou pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, kissing her hard. (To be continued)
