“…”
Shi Xiaonian was held in Gong Ou's arms domineeringly, unable to break away and could only bear his strong kiss.
After a long time, Gong Ou let her go, stared deeply at her with his lower eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that you worry me to death?"
He lowered his head, resting his forehead on hers, breathing heavily, and hugging her tightly with both hands as if he was afraid of losing something. Shi Xiaonian stared into his eyes, and there were so many words in his heart that he couldn't say, so he just whispered. Authentic, "I'm sorry, I will remember to check the battery level of my phone next time."
"There will be no next time! You must be by my side every day, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Gong Ou pressed her into his arms and enjoyed the feeling of regaining this moment.
"Yeah." Shi Xiaonian nodded, leaning on his chest, and slowly raised her hands to grab the clothes on his back.
It wasn't until a long time passed that Gong Ou's breathing slowly calmed down. Shi Xiaonian stood back and asked, "Did you have fun today?"
The brothers are reunited and reconciled, and the time spent together should be wonderful.
"Not happy!" Gong Ou said coldly, holding her in his arms again, rubbing his thin lips on her hair, "I've been thinking about you, always feeling that something will happen to you, and I don't want to hunt at all."
This intuition is really weirdly accurate.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and said, "What can happen if you stay here? Have you had dinner? I just made some dinner and left it there. If you have eaten it, I will let others share it."
She thought he must have eaten it.
"Have you cooked?" Hearing this, Gong Ou's black eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled her out and said, "I haven't eaten before, and I haven't even drank a sip of water!"
"Ah? I thought you were going to have dinner together." Shi Xiaonian was a little surprised. Gong Ou glanced back at her, "Can the food outside be eaten? Even the dogs won't eat it, okay?"
“…”
Shi Xiao thought silently and followed him away.
Without going to the restaurant, Shi Xiaonian took out a few plates of food. Gong Ou sat directly at the kitchen table and started eating. Shi Xiaonian sat aside and served him dishes, "You eat slowly, every dish here is only I can eat a third of it.”
"Why?"
Gong Ou asked displeasedly.
"You'll be full after eating one-third of it. Don't eat more." Shi Xiaonian said seriously.
"I've exhausted my energy today, so I can eat more!" Gong Ou said as he put all the dishes in front of him, staying far away from her. The meaning of protecting food was very obvious, and he even glared at her with hostility.
Shi Xiaonian laughed, "Okay, okay, you can eat."
Fortunately, she cooked less food and ate it all without overeating.
"That's pretty much it."
Gong Ou nodded with satisfaction and started eating very quickly, as if someone was trying to compete with him.
Shi Xiaonian sat aside, holding her face in her hands and staring at him, with a smile in her black and white eyes. Gradually, the smile faded, and the events of the afternoon slowly emerged in front of her eyes.
In that cold study room, she was pushed by Charles to the relief of the cross. She seemed to be branded on it, and Charles' hands held her neck tightly.
As long as she moved, her life would be dead.
After hanging up Gong Ou's call, Charles said, "Young Madam, you really shouldn't have entered this study, and you shouldn't have broken into this secret that has been hidden for four years."
A secret that had been hidden for four years.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, taking a breath of air-conditioning, looking at the coffin with a cold light in front of her, then at Charles, and finally her eyes fell on Luo Qi.
"So you want to kill people and silence them?" Shi Xiaonian thought that he could not escape this disaster, so he simply asked bluntly, "Do you two have any ulterior secrets? Or did you kill Gong Jue? What are you doing? What’s the conspiracy?”
Otherwise, how could a substitute be created
She just froze Gong Jue for four years, which she didn't understand.
She looked at Charles and Luo Qi, and she realized that they were similar in age and had a close relationship between the master and the housekeeper. They probably spent more time together than Luo Qi and the palace lord.
It wouldn't be surprising if there was any personal affair.
Her questioning tone and probing eyes made Luo Qi angry, "What are you talking about?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at the two of them coldly. Charles stood there and looked at Shi Xiaonian with a puzzled expression. He suddenly put down the hand holding her neck, looking a little dumbfounded, "Young Madam, the cartoonist's Do you have as rich an imagination as you?"
Rich
Shi Xiaonian looked at the two of them in confusion. Luo Qi couldn't listen anymore and said to her, "Come with me and don't talk nonsense in front of my husband."
If Shi Xiaonian continues talking, one can guess that she and Charles are having some kind of affair.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there motionless, Charles motioned for her to follow, so she had no choice but to follow Luo Qi and leave.
Luo Qi took her out of the castle and walked to the garden at the back. The weather began to warm up and the flowers began to light up with bright colors.
Luo Qi walked forward, pulled her coat with both hands and sat down on the bench. Her long hair was slightly blowing in the breeze. She looked at Shi Xiaonian and said, "Okay, you can sit down too."
"Just say whatever you want."
Shi Xiaonian stood and said that if things were as despicable as she thought, she would leave some message to Gong Ou even if she died.
"Madam, why don't you tell me?" Charles asked respectfully.
"It doesn't matter. The so-called secrets in this world are just waiting for someone to expose them." Luo Qi raised her hand and pressed her painful head. Her movements were noble and elegant, as beautiful as a picture scroll. She looked at Shi Xiaonian, and for a long time, She said slowly, "My husband's health has been in bad condition a few years ago. No one except me, Charles, and the personal doctor knew about it, not even Gong Ou."
"You mean he's sick?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Yes, from that time on he tried to go out as little as possible." Luo Qi mentioned Gong Jue, with sadness in her beautiful eyes. "Back then, Gong Ou suddenly announced to the whole world that he was in love with you. This matter was very serious. Originally, It was my husband who should have gone to City S to inquire in person, but he was seriously ill at that time, so I had to go."
Shi Xiaonian looked at her in shock, "So what you said at that time, that you specifically appease Gong Jue and asked you to mediate first, was a lie?"
At that time, Gong Jue was seriously ill
"It's false. His condition keeps coming back and forth, stable and then bad. At that time, his illness was so serious that he couldn't go as far as S city." Luo Qi said bitterly, "So, everything can only be done. It’s me who stepped forward, but I’m not as tough as him, otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed you and Gong Ou to get to where they are today.”
Shi Xiaonian stood there in a daze, and suddenly remembered that four years ago, she heard Gong Jue's words and he was cruel and cruel to her secretly. However, since Gong Ou disappeared, her relationship with the Gong family began to deteriorate. After repairing it, she originally thought that Gong Jue had softened his heart after losing two sons in a row.
"That year at Baisha Islands, the bodyguard put the muzzle of his gun on my head. Xiaokui cried, and then you said that Gong Jue ordered me to be released." Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi and finally understood, "It's not Gong Jue. You are soft-hearted, you are the one who is soft-hearted.”
She said that in the legend, a father who only valued fame and was so cruel that he forced his son to go to China under pressure could suddenly relent.
Luo Qi's methods are indeed not the most cruel every time. She has her own bottom line.
Luo Qi once sent someone to rape her, but he didn't let anyone really touch her; Luo Qi once trapped her in a high tower for half a year, giving birth to a child and abandoning her mother, but he never thought of killing her; when Gong Ou returned, she misunderstood and made trouble Emo broke up with Gong Ou, and after a big fight, he came back and talked about getting married. The Gong family had no objection.
Although I have never met Gong Jue, everything is indeed Luo Qi's behavior. Because she is not ruthless enough, Luo Qi can only be half cruel in everything.
"Yeah, sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to kill you at that time? There wouldn't be so many things happening now."
Luo Qi smiled bitterly.
If Gong Jue had always been in good health, Shi Xiaonian would have died many times.
"Do you think this is all my fault?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, it was not her who made Gong Jue sick.
Hearing this, Luo Qi's eyes filled with tears, "When my husband was ill, I didn't want to disclose it because I didn't want to affect the Gong family's reputation outside. We always thought he could be cured, but since you made your relationship public, , he was deeply stimulated and his condition worsened."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips.
"What my husband is most worried about in his life is the future of the Gong family. Gong Ou is the son he is most proud of. Gong Ou was also willing to inherit the Gong family in the past, but later, he became like that after being with you." Luo Qi said, his face getting paler.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there not knowing what to say. She knew nothing about these things.
"Later, Gong Ou finally agreed to marry the Lancaster lady. My husband's illness got better and he was able to walk around. Even Gong Ou didn't notice anything unusual about him." Luo Qi said, curling her fingers. She wiped away the tears on her face, "I thought everything would get better slowly, but an engagement ceremony with a bride-changing ceremony in public ruined everything."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi in astonishment. Luo Qi was sitting on the bench with red eyes, "Since that engagement ceremony, my husband's health has completely failed. Do you remember that one time you came to negotiate a deal with us?" , said to put Holy next to us and not to disturb Gong Ou."
“…”
"We have to compromise with you, because my husband really can't hold it anymore. In the final analysis, it was your stimulation that accelerated his death." Luo Qi said, "It was only at that moment that he understood that there was no way he could let Gong Ou Hui changed his mind."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and his fingers involuntarily grasped the clothes on his body.
Did she and Gong Ou stimulate Gong Jue's death
"I've told him too many times that we can't have such a big say in our children's affairs. I want him to stop being so persistent. I want him to travel with me and see the scenery in this world." Luo Qi said, Tears rolled down his eyes, "But he always refused. I couldn't persuade him. Until the day he died, he still thought about the Gong family." (To be continued)
