Mu Qianchu turned his face slightly and used his keen hearing to capture her current state. Listening to her trembling laughter, he sighed softly, "If it were me, I might not have his courage and courage. and… "
Shi Xiaonian looked at him, "And what?"
"nothing."
Mu Qianchu didn't say any more. He thought again of Gong Ou's kneeling. It took a lot of deliberation and a lot of pain tolerance to achieve.
His heart is now calmer than before, but he finds that he underestimated Gong Ou in the past.
In fact, he was a blind man who couldn't even take care of himself like a normal person. How could he shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the mother and son? But Gong Ou dared to leave this matter to him.
He still remembered what Gong Ou said at that time: It's hard to find capable people, but I can only think of you as the one who can definitely work hard for my woman.
In the past, he had done some crazy things, and now he feels ashamed even thinking about it, but in Gong Ou's view, he was someone who would sacrifice his life for Shi Xiaonian.
Gong Ou must not know that this is a unique compliment for a blind man like him.
The air was extremely quiet, without any sound.
Shi Xiaonian held the paper with her fingertips and read the words on it over and over again, recalling all the things that had happened during this period, thinking of her own stupidity, and of becoming the common chess piece of Gong Ou and Lancaster.
If she could be smarter, Mong Ou wouldn't lie to her even when she couldn't lie.
What a pity, she is too stupid.
"When can I see him?" Shi Xiaonian asked. The handwriting on the paper was so clear, yet so blurry.
Hearing this, Mu Qianchu shook his head lightly and said, "You will never be found in this place by Lancaster in a short time. Gong Ou also needs to use this time to catch Lancaster off guard and make the other party unintentional." Let’s look for your whereabouts again. If you go back to Gong Ou now to give Lancaster a certain direction, you will still be in danger.”
One link after another.
Good strategy.
"Then I just can't see him?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"This... is only temporary." Mu Qianchu said lightly, hoping that these words could temporarily comfort her, "You can't contact or meet for the time being, and you can't create any opportunities for Lancaster."
If Lancaster still looks for her after suffering such a big blow, he must start with Gong Ou.
Therefore, they cannot meet.
"How long is it for now?" Shi Xiaonian was a stubborn person. She weakly leaned on the bedside and looked at Mu Qianchu, asking word by word, "Is it when everything settles?"
"yes."
"Is it after the child in my belly is born?"
"..." Mu Qianchu couldn't answer this question.
"Can't he spend the entire pregnancy with me?"
“…”
"I see."
Seeing Mu Qianchu like this, Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes and looked at the paper in his hand.
fraud.
He is indeed a big liar.
They had agreed to accompany her to see the baby born, they had agreed to accompany her to Beibu Gulf for their honeymoon, they had agreed to all these things.
Her marriage letter... was only half-done.
Only half.
What she wanted to finish, she really wanted to finish.
Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes and held the paper tightly with her fingertips. Her nails pierced the paper and dug a hole.
It turns out that she can't see Gong Ou anymore.
No wonder Gong Ou would hold her tightly when he knew she was going out that day. He knew that this farewell would not be short.
He left memories, but she didn't feel it at all at the time. It wasn't enough. This memory was completely not enough for her.
"Xiao Nian, you can't be too sad. It will affect the baby. There are also two children, Gong Yao and Gong Kui. They are waiting for you to take care of them." Mu Qianchu said.
The cellophane crane swayed gently, making a thin sound.
"This is also one of Gong Ou's plans." Shi Xiaonian said, "In fact, he could take the two children and me away in batches, but he was afraid that I would do something stupid when I was kidnapped, so he had no sustenance, so he forcibly took the two children away. The child stayed with me."
“…”
Mu Qianchu was silent. He could see Gong Ou's thoughts. If it weren't for Shi Xiaonian, no one would let the two young children take risks.
"I always thought that I knew Gong Ou well enough, but in fact, he is the one who really understands me." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, her voice trembling and hoarse due to laughter, "So, it was me who harmed the two children. "
The two young children followed her into the hail of bullets and witnessed the death process with their own eyes. Gong Yao even put the skills he learned from Gong Ou to real use, daring to shoot the enemy's eyes at a young age.
It turned out that it was all her fault.
Gong Outai knew her well, and his plan was entirely based on her character and safety, so she could lie here alive and rest.
But she harmed many, many, many people.
Mu Qianchu frowned, "Xiao Nian, why do you impose everything on yourself? This is not your fault. You will only make yourself more and more stressed. Do you know that the child in your belly was almost lost?" "
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
Shi Xiaonian's breathing was stagnant. At that moment, Mu Qianchu understood that Shi Xiaonian was beginning to blame herself again, blaming herself for almost harming the child in her belly.
"It's not your fault, really."
Mu Qianchu emphasized again.
"Are the two children okay?" Shi Xiaonian suddenly asked.
"They are all safe. The doctors are taking care of them. You don't have to worry." Mu Qianchu tried his best to bring her some good news. In fact, Gong Kui and Gong Yao were quite shocked this time.
"I'm tired."
Shi Xiaonian slowly slid off the quilt and rested her head on the pillow, holding the piece of paper with her fingertips.
"The doctor said that your first priority now is to protect your pregnancy. It's best to lie down on the bed. Then you can rest and I won't disturb you anymore." Mu Qianchu said calmly, touching the back of the chair with his hand. Stand up slowly and walk out step by step.
After taking a few steps, he heard the sound of paper rustling, as if someone was rubbing it tightly.
That kind of sound makes people feel uncomfortable, as if their heart is being twisted into a ball.
Mu Qianchu stood there, stretched out his hand to press his eyebrows, wanted to say something but finally said nothing, and walked out step by step.
Shi Xiaonian was lying on the bed, her eyes open, and she just kept staring at the writing on the paper.
…
City S, deep in the forest, the imperial castle is vast and there are thousands of bodyguards.
Feng De was sitting at the long table in the restaurant. He had short silver hair and held a light gray scarf in his old hands. His fingertips were rubbing the end of the scarf, with the word "德" stitched on it with black thread.
During the four years when the young master was away, he and Xiao Nian depended on each other. Xiao Nian bought it for him and specially sewed it on as a gift to him.
What a warm child.
He wandered alone all his life, and Xiao Nian meant much more to him.
"Seal the housekeeper."
A maid came in carrying a dinner plate and bowed her head respectfully.
Feng De turned around and looked over, only to see that the food on the plate had not moved at all. He frowned, "Young Master didn't eat it? Didn't you ask the chef to do something different?"
"The young master won't even open the door to the room, so he won't even look at what the chef is cooking." The maid said, holding the dinner plate, "It's been a few days, how can the young master not eat? How can anyone bear it?"
The young master doesn't even come out of the room, so what's the point of the chef making delicious dishes
Those of them who are servants just get rejected time and time again.
Just as he was talking, another servant hurried in from outside, walked to Feng De, bowed his head, and reported eagerly, "Butler Feng, the young master just ordered another box of red wine to be brought up, and asked if there was any other wine. Let people buy it.”
It's been a long time since the Gong family had such a thing as alcohol in large quantities, and Young Master Weiwei didn't want to see it.
But now, the young master wants box after box.
In the past few days, the young master has not exhausted all his water and rice, and has only been drinking.
Feng De put away his scarf and put it aside. He stood up from the chair and looked at the food on the plate. He frowned and said, "It won't work like this. You all go check it out and see if there are any small things in the refrigerator and cabinets." Leave the cooked dishes, desserts, etc., and find them as long as they are still edible."
"Yes, seal the housekeeper."
Soon, a group of servants were rummaging around in the kitchen and dining room, and all the refrigerators were turned upside down.
In this way, everyone finally found a few small desserts in the refrigerator and had nothing else to eat.
"give it to me."
Feng De sighed, took the dessert and walked upstairs. He walked to the bedroom door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, "Master, it's me. I'll bring you food."
“…”
There was no sound at all, as if no one was there.
Feng De knocked on the door again and shouted, "Master, this is the dessert Xiao Nian made before. Do you want to eat it?"
When he finished speaking, he put his ear to the door. This time he heard the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground, but there were still no steps, and Gong Ou did not come to open the door.
"Master, I know that Xiaonian is gone and you are in a bad mood, but in this situation there are many things waiting for you to do. You must cheer up." Feng De said, then picked up the key from his pocket and took a deep breath. He said in a tone, "Master, then I'm coming in."
Feng De held the dessert in one hand and opened the door with the other.
As soon as the door was pushed open, an overwhelming smell of alcohol hit him.
This is how much you drank.
Feng De's brows suddenly knitted tightly. He stretched out his hand to fan the smell, and walked in. The smell of wine grew stronger and more incense as he went inside.
Walking to the piano, Feng De looked in and saw that the ground was full of fallen wine bottles and glasses, all of which were empty. Looking forward along the wine bottles, Gong Ou was sitting huddled on the bedside table. In the corner next to him, he just lowered his head, wishing he could retract himself into the wall.
He was still wearing the clothes from the day when Shi Xiaonian was kidnapped, his hair was extremely messy, his handsome face had no color, only his eyes were as red as if they had been soaked in red wine.
As if he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room, Gong Ou just sat in the corner, holding up another glass of red wine with his slender fingers and putting it to his lips, drinking it down in one gulp. (To be continued)
