"Don't eat."
Gong Yao answered bluntly that he had never liked sweets.
"It's delicious!" Lan Xiaoqi forced the candy into his hand, then sat next to him holding the doll, and sat with him on the swing chair.
The sun shines on the two small faces, full of vitality.
Gong Yao sat next to her, spinning the lollipop around in his hand, but didn't have anything to eat. There was a noise outside, and he raised his eyes.
Lan Xiaoqi suddenly twisted her body hard, and the hanging swing chair began to shake. Gong Yao looked at her, and Lan Xiaoqi smiled very happily.
“…”
Gong Yao said nothing.
"Why don't you eat the lollipop? It's really delicious. Lychee is my favorite flavor." Lan Xiaoqi said, looking forward to him eating the lollipop.
he does not like.
But Lan Xiaoqi saved him and his father. Gong Yao sat there, staring down at the lollipop in his hand and said, "My sister likes to eat sweets. She is not allowed to eat them normally. Bring this to her."
Hearing this, Lan Xiaoqi looked envious and said, "It's great to be your sister. Can I be your sister too?"
She was extremely envious when she saw Gong Yao treating Gong Kui like that before.
"You're older than me."
Gong Yao said, how could she be his sister.
"Then I'll be your sister." Lan Xiaoqi said immediately, giggling, tilting her head and thinking, she felt that being a sister was not good, so she held the doll and thought, "It's better not to be a sister, I will be your bride Son."
She said in a brisk tone.
“…”
Gong Yao's long eyelashes trembled suddenly and he looked at her silently.
don't want.
He refused.
"Do you know what a bride is?" Lan Xiaoqi thought Gong Yao didn't understand, so she excitedly explained to him, "She is the father and mother of the child. I am the mother, and you are the father, okay?"
"not good."
Gong Yao answered bluntly, his voice was too cold to sound like a child.
Hearing this, Lan Xiaoqi burst into tears, "Why? Am I not good-looking?"
"Our family backgrounds are not matched. If the Gong family marries ordinary wives for several consecutive generations, it will not be good for the development of the Gong family." Gong Yao said.
This was something some of his teachers would teach, and although it wasn't stated so straightforwardly, he understood it.
But Lan Xiaoqi didn't understand. She looked at him stupidly, like an alien, "What are you talking about?"
What's ordinary? Does he dislike her
"No way."
Gong Yao said coldly.
Lan Xiaoqi lowered her eyes in disappointment. After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at him, "But, aunt also said that she would take me home and she would be my mother. Do you really not want to marry me?"
"She said that?"
Gong Yao was a little surprised.
"Yes, she asked me to go home with you." Lan Xiaoqi nodded vigorously. Gong Yao sat on the swing chair, holding the lollipop tightly in his little hands, and then compromised, "Okay, you will be my bride. ."
No matter who is the bride, it is the same.
"Really?" Lan Xiaoqi immediately lost all hope and looked at him overjoyed, "Don't worry, I will be the best mother, and you are the most handsome father!"
The least childish words, as if they have grown up.
"..." Gong Yao sat there and said nothing. Lan Xiaoqi was so excited that she freed up a small hand to hold him, "Let's play house, can I cook for you?"
“…”
Gong Yao stared at her, frowned, and was reluctantly pulled down by her. Lan Xiaoqi stuffed the doll into Gong Yao's arms, and then began to pick flowers, pretending to eat the food, "Holy, do you want to help me?" Cook together?"
"You can't eat this flower."
"Pretend." Lan Xiaoqi said.
"..." Gong Yao grabbed her doll and said, "I'll hold the doll for you."
"Okay, that's our baby, daddy is holding the baby!"
Lan Xiaoqi readily agreed and her imagination was wide open.
“…”
Gong Yao refused to speak.
Lan Xiaoqi kept talking like she was playing house, picking various flowers and asking Gong Yao to pretend to eat them, and then feeding the dolls. Her little hands were dirty, which Gong Yao didn't like very much, it was very annoying.
But she was a lifesaver, or so my mother said.
If it weren't for Lan Xiaoqi, they wouldn't be able to get out.
"Xiao Qi."
A soft voice came, and the two children turned their heads and looked over. They saw Shi Xiaonian standing not far away, looking at them, and waved to Lan Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, come here."
"Okay, here I come."
Lan Xiaoqi put the flower in her hand aside and ran towards Shi Xiaonian. Shi Xiaonian looked at the innocent child with a bitter smile and reached out to touch her head, "Do you want to see daddy? "
"think!"
Lan Xiaoqi nodded vigorously.
"Then will aunt take you to see dad? He is back from a business trip and is a little uncomfortable."
Shi Xiaonian asked.
Hearing this, Lan Xiaoqi blinked, the smile on her face was a little stiff, and she quickly said, "Auntie, can I say a word to Brother Holy again?"
"OK."
Shi Xiaonian naturally agreed, but it was rare that Gong Yao's personality could make friends with Lan Xiaoqi.
Lan Xiaoqi turned back and ran to Gong Yao, reached out and stroked the doll in his arms, and said, "Holy, this doll is for you. You are the father, so you must take good care of our baby."
“…”
Gong Yao was completely indifferent to such words and responded perfunctorily.
"You must take good care of the baby."
Lan Xiaoqi warned again worriedly.
"knew."
Gong Yao said without expression.
"Then I'm going to see my dad." Lan Xiaoqi waved her hand at him, turned towards Shi Xiaonian, and followed her away.
Shi Xiaonian took Lan Xiaoqi's hand, which was unusually cold. She stared down and said softly, "Xiaoqi, aunt and uncle are ready to leave. I'll have someone pack your clothes. Come home with us.”
"What about dad?"
Lan Xiaoqi asked ignorantly.
Lanting, he can no longer withstand the bumps and it is impossible to follow them away. It will only kill him faster.
"Let's go see dad first."
Shi Xiaonian didn't answer, smiled very reluctantly, and took Lan Xiaoqi's cold hand to the door of a room. The door was open, and Feng De's voice came from inside.
"As soon as our people went to check for bombs, those few people couldn't restrain themselves and wanted to detonate them in advance. They caught them all and missed nothing."
"I know." This was Gong Ou's voice, "Tie all those people in and hand them over to Lanting."
"Yes, Master."
Feng De walked out, looked at Shi Xiaonian, then lowered his eyes at Lan Xiaoqi's innocent face, and couldn't help but sigh.
This child will be fatherless and motherless from now on.
Lan Xiaoqi blinked her eyes, and Shi Xiaonian pulled her into the room. In the freshly decorated and warm bedroom, Lan Ting lay dying on the bed, covered with a quilt, all the blood on her face had been washed away, but the paleness It can't be covered up no matter what, it's still hanging on.
"Mr. Gong, thank you."
Lanting used his last energy to speak and apologized to Gong Ou.
Gong Ou should have hated him to the core, but now he was willing to leave the murderer to his own devices. This was extremely tolerant and fulfilled his dream of the past few years.
Gong Ou was sitting on a white chair in front of the window, leaning back, with his slender legs crossed and his fingers crossed under his chin. A pair of black eyes stared at him coldly, his voice was emotionless, "My woman is soft-hearted, and you will die soon..."
Halfway through the words, Gong Ou noticed that Shi Xiaonian came in holding Lan Xiaoqi's hand, so he stopped talking, let go of his hand and stood up from the chair, pulled Shi Xiaonian and walked out.
"Xiaoqi, you stay here with daddy."
Shi Xiaonian let go of Lan Xiaoqi's hand and followed Gong Ou out. The moment she closed the door, she saw Lan Xiaoqi walking towards Lan Ting and asked with concern, "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
No matter how many times Lan Ting beat Lan Xiaoqi, Lan Xiaoqi still regarded him as her closest father and still wanted to get closer to him.
The Gong family's bodyguards were cleaning up the mess and preparing to leave Langhua Island.
Gong Ou stretched out his hand and pressed his chest. Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly, "How is it? Is the wound painful? You need to have a good rest."
"Go back and rest." Gong Ou said, his black eyes staring deeply at her. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed on her fair face, making it easy to see her thoughts clearly.
She felt bad.
Gong Ou stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "I'm leaving soon. There are still a few places I haven't taken you to. You should visit the Cross Flower Field and Wanshui Statue on Langhua Island."
Shi Xiaonian looked at him and did not hide her thoughts, "Mong Ou, I'm not in the mood, let's just sit here for a while."
Her injury, his injury, the entanglement between the Lan family and Lancaster, she couldn't bring up the interest in going out.
"Um."
Gong Ou responded, hugged her and sat down on the sofa nearby. As soon as he sat down, Gong Ou frowned. His injury was very serious, and he was completely struggling today.
"I'll call my adoptive father." When Shi Xiaonian saw this, he stood up.
Gong Ou stretched out his hand and pulled her down, stared at her and said, "You are better than any medicine by my side!"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian had no choice but to sit down obediently, help him lean on the back of the sofa, and let him rest for a while. Gong Ou was really tired. He tilted his head back, slowly closed his eyes, and held her hand in his big hand. Wrap tightly.
She sat quietly.
After a long time, she heard Gong Ou say, "Shi Xiaonian, does the honeymoon conflict with us? Why can't I take you to have a good time?"
If he could get away with it for once, he would rather give up Lancaster's economic secrets.
"Because we always inevitably step into other people's stories." Shi Xiaonian smiled bitterly. Since their honeymoon, they have stepped into other people's stories every time. Stories, sharing all kinds of ups and downs.
"Then next time, let's go to a deserted place, just the two of us."
Gong Ou decided domineeringly.
"You should recover from your injuries first."
Shi Xiaonian said, raising his hand, his fingertips traced the deep outline of Gong Ou, his eyes were as gentle as water. (To be continued)
