When Shi Xiaonian and Mu Qianchu arrived at the restaurant, the two children were already sitting at the dining table waiting to eat. When they saw them coming, they jumped off their chairs to say hello to them.
"Have you finished your homework?"
Mu Qianchu reached out and touched, pulled out a chair, and asked Gong Kui to sit down. Gong Kui looked into his eyes and said sweetly, "Uncle Mu, sit down, I have a gift for you."
Shi Xiaonian was a little surprised and pulled Gong Yao to sit aside.
"oh?"
Mu Qianchu was also a little surprised.
"Holy said that everyone here will listen to you. You are the one who protects us. You must be working hard, so I made this for you." Gong Kui's voice was extremely sweet.
After finishing her words, Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but look at Gong Yao. Gong Yao was sitting next to her, with a face with clear and beautiful features and no expression. His eyes were very dark and deep, much like Gong Ou.
He observed the situation here very smartly. He even knew who was in charge, and he didn't know whether this thought was good or bad for him.
Gong Kui handed out a yellow pillowcase with both hands, a little shy, "Uncle Mu, I drew a little F, and the teacher made my drawing into a pillowcase for you, but my drawing is a bit ugly."
There was really a white puppy painted on the pillowcase, sticking out its tongue. The brushwork was childish but very cute.
Mu Qianchu took it and touched it carefully, smiling gently, "Xiao Kui must be very good at painting. Your mother also liked painting when she was a child."
"Uncle Mu, as long as you like it."
Seeing that Mu Qianchu accepted it happily, Gong Kui happily ran towards Shi Xiaonian and sat down next to her, smiling broadly.
"How did you know that my mom liked to draw when she was a child?" Gong Yao suddenly said, paying attention to something different from others.
Hearing this, Mu Qianchu was stunned for a moment and did not speak for a while. Shi Xiaonian then said, "Uncle Mu and I are good friends who grew up together."
"So you have been good friends since childhood, like when we were so young?" Gong Kui asked innocently.
The chef brought the fruit soup one by one. Shi Xiaonian smiled and said nothing. He distributed the fruit soup to the two children, then handed another cup and pushed it away in front of Mu Qianchu.
Without needing any more words, Mu Qianchu leaned forward and touched the table with his slightly scarred hands. He touched the cup, picked up the spoon, took a mouthful and put it into his mouth. He smiled and said, "Very good." drink."
"As long as it's sweet, it will taste good to you." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile. Mu Qianchu has been like this since he was a child, especially afraid of bitterness and fond of sweetness.
"It sounds like I have no taste at all." Mu Qianchu retorted, but he didn't look angry at all.
"I didn't say that."
Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and ate the fruit soup in the cup. The chef did a good job. The fruit was cool. It is the most comfortable to eat in the stomach during this season. Even the baby in the stomach moved several times. I don't know if it was... Like it very much.
Gong Yao ate his portion, looked at Shi Xiaonian, then at Mu Qianchu, his black eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "When will Dad come to pick us up?"
These words made Shi Xiaonian choke and suddenly lost the mood to eat.
They are facing danger but they can only stand still. Gong Ou doesn't know what he will encounter in the UK. He will come to pick them up... he doesn't know when.
Can Gong Ou come back to pick them up? And can they really wait until the day when Gong Ou comes to pick them up? She really didn't dare to think about it, so she could only take one step at a time.
When Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes and hesitated, Gong Yao looked at her, suddenly stood up, put the unfinished fruit soup on the table, and said, "You told me that Dad will definitely come to pick us up. I miss you so much. I’m going to study first and say goodbye.”
He bowed his head to them like a little gentleman and turned to leave.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes widened in shock. Before she could call him, Gong Kui hurriedly followed Gong Yao and ran away, like a little follower.
Shi Xiaonian sat there for a long time without reacting. She looked at Mu Qianchu with some surprise, "He never told me that he missed Gong Ou."
She always thought that Gong Yao was very sensitive to Gong Ou's feelings. She wanted to get close but also questioned her. She didn't expect that she could make him change after being here for a long time.
Is this an unexpected good thing
"Idiot." Mu Qianchu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard what she said, "Why don't you understand that he is watching me for his father."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of Mu Qianchu's words. She couldn't help but laugh and hold her forehead, a little embarrassed, "Holy is really..."
Does he think there is something between her and Mu Qianchu
"This little guy thinks a lot, but it's obvious that he has feelings for Gong Ou." Mu Qianchu said without caring at all.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "I'm quite surprised by this. If Gong Ou knew that Holy was protecting him like this behind his back, he would be crazy happy."
When she thought of Gong Ou's proud look, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Mu Qianchu sat there, listening to her even breathing, and reached out to put the fruit soup on the table, "Look, you will laugh now."
Shi Xiaonian touched the corners of her raised lips and said from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you very much."
She must admit that she had closed herself off for so long, and Mu Qianchu's words inspired her a lot.
"I know you haven't really come out yet, and I also know that you prefer that Gong Ou discovers your strangeness and enlightens you." Mu Qianchu said with a faint smile.
"He is already very busy and in danger." Shi Xiaonian said.
"So I believe that when this disaster is over, you will be able to truly come out of it, and you will definitely face life positively." Mu Qianchu said.
During this tribulation, we talked about this matter again.
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip, looked into Mu Qianchu's eyes and said seriously, "Qianchu, don't you think it's strange? Who on earth discovered that Gong Ou disappeared?"
"Isn't this normal? If someone stares deliberately, they will find that Gong Ou is not here." Mu Qianchu didn't understand why Shi Xiaonian wanted to care about this. Could he still catch the traitor
"Gong Ou always appears at night, so he must have come out after returning to his bedroom. And with Mr. Gong's identity, it is impossible for a robot to come out and walk out of the bedroom to attract so much attention." Shi Xiaonian said, "And even if Someone noticed the robot, but there is Gong Ou inside the robot, so there is no reason for him not to notice."
Gong Ou is such a vigilant person. If someone follows him, he will definitely find out.
"It can't be discovered by Gong Ou, otherwise the traitor will find the secret door and won't test us with the sound of cannons." Mu Qianchu said, "Maybe someone knocked on the bedroom door deliberately and found that Gong Ou was not there, so That’s when I became suspicious.”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian became more determined. She looked at Mu Qianchu, "You don't know, no one is allowed to enter Gong Ou's bedroom, not even knocking on the door. This is the rule of the Gong family. ,Apart from… "
"Except what?"
Mu Qianchu asked.
"Except for me and my adoptive father, it's Gong Ou's housekeeper Feng De." Shi Xiaonian said. No one in the Gong family dared to break this point. Even Feng De didn't dare to knock on the bedroom door without anything, not to mention other people. People passing by were ordered to go farther away and were not allowed to make any noise.
After saying that, her heart skipped a beat.
Hearing this, Mu Qianchu's expression changed, "Could it be..."
"It's impossible." Shi Xiaonian suddenly stood up from the dining table, "It's impossible for my foster father to betray Gong Ou, absolutely impossible!"
"But you have eliminated all possibilities, and the remaining possibilities will be... reasonable." Mu Qianchu really didn't want to throw cold water on Shi Xiaonian, but this was what she had figured out on her own.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale, "Besides, the adoptive father must have followed Gong Ou to England..."
"That's not necessarily the case. If Gong Ou doesn't trust you, he will definitely let his confidants stay here." Mu Qianchu interrupted her, "If Butler Feng is a traitor, then things will be complicated. He will find this place sooner or later."
The identity of the butler is too convenient for him. If he can't find it here today, he can find it here tomorrow.
"My foster father will not betray us. If one day I encounter danger, he will risk his life to protect me." Shi Xiaonian said with some excitement. She would never doubt Feng De's loyalty.
"Xiao Nian, don't get excited."
"Besides, if my adoptive father wanted to betray Gong Ou, he could have done so a long time ago. There was no need to wait until now." Shi Xiaonian refused to believe it. She was serious. The more she analyzed, the more wrong she became.
"Sometimes betrayal may not be voluntary, but may be forced." Mu Qianchu said, he had seen this trick many times.
Forced
Shi Xiaonian was stunned. Could it be that her adoptive father's daughter... was arrested and threatened by Lancaster, forcing him to submit
No way.
Definitely not.
"Xiao Nian, what you discovered is very important. If housekeeper Feng is a traitor, we can't sit back and wait for death. We have to find a way to survive." Mu Qianchu stood up and said, turned around and left to find a way.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian sat there, staring blankly at the dining table in front of him. It was impossible, no way, his adoptive father could not be a traitor. His adoptive father was loyal to Gong Ou and treated her better than his biological daughter. He didn't It will harm them.
But how to explain everything in front of me
Who else but his adoptive father can stare at Gong Ou all day long without arousing any suspicion
Could it be that the adoptive father was secretly cornered by Lancaster? But she can't contact Gong Ou now, otherwise everything will be simple.
Shi Xiaonian was completely confused. She walked to the end of the corridor alone and stood in front of the door of the utility room, looking at the door with mixed emotions.
She pushed open the door and walked in, standing in front of the secret door, biting her lips tightly with her white teeth.
The adoptive father will not be confused. Even if his daughter is caught, he can ask Gong Ou for help, and Gong Ou will not fail to help...
Foster father, he can't be yours, right
When Shi Xiaonian walked towards the secret door, she stretched out her hand to push it. She wanted to go over and ask Feng De for a clear explanation, but as soon as her hand touched it, she stepped back consciously.
No, if she appears in the Imperial Castle at this time, she will only fall into a trap, and Gong Ou will not be here. (To be continued)
