Even Luo Qi himself had forgotten that Shi Xiaonian had never actually met him before. If she hadn't used this as an excuse to find Shi Xiaonian for a chat, Shi Xiaonian would not have entered the study room full of curiosity.
It was too late now.Substitute?
Was the person she saw yesterday a double?
"An entire year?"
Shi Xiaonian asked in shock and astonishment, what did this mean."Four years ago, according to the new year, it should have been five years ago, right?" Luo Qi said softly, her fingers caressing the transparent coffin lid, "At that time, during Gong Ou's birthday banquet, I would have a falling out with you guys, but he wouldn't be able to come back."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was shocked, "You're saying, Gong Jue has already been dead for four years?"
stupefiedIn other words, how long had Gong Ou disappeared before Gong Jue passed away?
"…"Luo Qi stood there quietly.
Shi Xiaonian stuck close to the wall as she walked out. Looking at Luo Qi, she said in disbelief, "You froze him for four years?"
It was too unbelievable.
Shi Xiaonian covered her mouth as she was unable to digest this fact. Gong Jue had died, Luo Qi had frozen her husband in the coffin for four whole years, and even trained a substitute to pretend to be her husband?What did she want to do?
Was there something wrong with her mind?"…"
Luo Qi did not answer her question, he only stood there staring at his husband inside the coffin, his beautiful face covered with tears.Shi Xiaonian could not take Luo Qi's actions any longer, she turned and ran out. Before she could even run far, she was stopped.
Charles stood at the bookshelf, wearing a normal butler uniform and white gloves. His face that had a pure western contours on was covered as if he did not know what was happening, standing right in front of her.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly, then retreated two steps, "You know about this? Or are you involved? "
"She can't do it by herself."So Charles really had a share of the whole thing?
"Are you crazy?" Shi Xiaonian looked at him in shock. "You guys hid the truth and frozen his father's body for four whole years, and even made a fake one. What do you guys want to do? Aren't you afraid that Gong Ou will figure it out? "
She stepped back as she spoke.Charles stared at her intently, and walked towards her step by step, "As long as Young Mistress does not say anything, it's fine."
"What do you want?"
Shi Xiaonian retreated back desperately, looking at him in fear, "Charles, don't do anything rash. Gong Ou will not let you go, you should understand this point."
Shi Xiaonian retreated back to the cabinet, and when Charles saw that she was about to grab her, she immediately dodged and ran. Then, Charles rushed forward and used his hand to grab her.
She was not a match for a housekeeper like him, so she could only surrender.
"Bam."
Charles grabbed Shi Xiaonian and pushed him to the side of the door. Shi Xiaonian crashed into the wall and looked at the two of them in fear.
Luo Qi stood there, looking at her with a sorrowful expression. Charles stood beside him, not giving her the chance to escape.
"Are you trying to trap me here?"Shi Xiaonian asked, her face pale.
Charles looked at Luo Qi, waiting for her orders.
The phone on Shi Xiaonian's body suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the strange room.
She took out her cell phone, and before she had the chance to see who the caller was, her phone was forcibly snatched away by Charles. Charles looked at her cell phone, and then asked Luo Qi, "Madam, it's Second Young Master who called."
"He's dead."Luo Qi said as she reached out to wipe the tears on her face. Just as Charles was about to hang up, Luo Qi said again, "Wait, get her to pick up the phone, otherwise Gong Ou will be back soon."
She knew very well the importance of Shi Xiaonian to her, she had to answer this call, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hide anything.
"Young Madam, here you are, please have a good talk."
Charles had just caught her here, but he respectfully asked her to speak properly.Shi Xiaonian took the phone, looked at the two of them, and the moment her fingers connected, Charles went forward and grabbed her neck. As long as she spoke the slightest bit wrongly, he would be able to end her life.
"…"Shi Xiaonian stood there, her eyebrows knitted tightly. Looking at the coffin, she picked up the phone and suppressed her fear.
"Shi Xiaonian, are you alright?"
When the call connected, Shi Xiaonian heard Gong Ou asking without hesitation."…"
Shi Xiaonian was dumbstruck. How did he know that something had happened to her? She was really going to be killed because of her curiosity.Charles's hand that was pressing down on her neck tightened.
"Shi Xiaonian, speak!"
Gong Ou roared from there, his voice carried a sense of urgency.
Shi Xiaonian really wanted to call him back quickly. Her father had already passed away, but he still did not know, while she was still being controlled by Charles.
Luo Qi and Charles looked at her."I'm fine, what else can I do?"
Shi Xiaonian spoke, trying her best to maintain her calm. She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Gong Ou, but he then asked in a domineering tone, "What are you doing?"
"Me?" Shi Xiaonian was startled, she looked at the coffin in front of him and said, "I hung a new painting in the study, you will be able to see it when you return."
If Charles and Luo Qi really wanted to do something to her, since she had said so, Gong Ou at least knew where he should go when he returned.
He was so smart that he must have understood.
After hearing her words, Gong Ou did not doubt her words at all and hung up the phone.
"He died." Shi Xiaonian put down the phone in her hand and looked at them with her clear black and white eyes, "What else do you want?""Young madam, you really shouldn't have entered this study, and you shouldn't have broken this secret that has been hidden for four years."
Charles said.
So?
Do you want to kill her and silence her?
Shi Xiaonian's heart went cold, her body went cold, her heart was filled with fear.
As the night fell, Gong Ou accompanied Gong Yu to eat in the dining hall.
For the entire day, without Shi Xiaonian by her side, Gong Ou didn't even have time to think while cutting the steak. Her eyes wandered and the food in her mouth had no taste, it was so boring that he wanted to vomit.
If Gong Yu had not left tomorrow, Gong Ou would not have allowed him to leave Shi Xiaonian for an entire day.Gong Ou bit into the steak. After biting it for a long time, he finally puked it out in disgust.
"Is it that boring to eat with me?"Gong Yu sat opposite of him and asked, his eyebrows knitted slightly, this chef was a top-notch expert, but Gong Ou was actually able to eat and spit it out?
"This steak is so bad to eat!"
Gong Ou said in disgust, throwing the knife and fork in his hand onto the table, which made a clanging sound as it was thrown.Gong Yu shook his head, passing a glass of lemonade to him and said, "Alright, you can rinse your mouth and leave. I see that your heart has already flown to minuscule thought's side, you don't care about being together with me."
He could already tell that Gong Ou's heart wasn't here."I should have brought her here today!"
Gong Ou did not try to conceal his longing for Shi Xiaonian. Today, when she was not by his side, he was restless.
"Alright, let's go back."
Gong Yu let him go."Yes."
Gong Ou stood up from the dining table and turned around to leave without the slightest hesitation. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Gong Yu, his black eyes profound, alluring voice saying, "I'll send you off tomorrow.
"Alright."
Gong Yu laughed, with a bit of elegance.Gong Ou left, without waiting for anyone to open the door for him, he immediately got on his Driver's seat and drove off, with one foot on the accelerator, the car sped up, causing Feng De and his men to immediately chase after him.
Gong Ou drove the fast car all the way into Gong Jia, stopped the car in front of the ancient fortress and ran inside.
"Bam!"
Gong Ou forcefully pushed open the bedroom door, "Shi Xiaonian, I'm back!"
The bedroom was empty.Gong Ou ran into the bathroom and searched for a while, but did not find anything. An unexplainable fear immediately filled his heart, he quickly ran out and shouted at the servant: "Where is Shi Xiaonian?"
"Young Madam?" "I don't know. I've never seen her before."
"Damn it!" Get lost! "
Gong Ou pushed her away and ran outside. He used his phone to call the twins and ran to where they were studying. The home tutor was teaching them.
"Where's Shi Xiaonian?"Gong Ou frowned and asked.
Gong Yao and Gong Kui looked at him at the same time, bewildered. Gong Kui shook her head like a rattle drum, "I don't know, Mom doesn't have much time to accompany us today."
So few?
In his absence, she would have preferred to be with the children.Shit!
Gong Ou muttered an incantation as he walked out. He took a large step forward and held onto the phone, listening to the ringtone, "Shi Xiaonian, pick up the phone for me! Get me the phone right now! "
Where did he go?
As the bell continued to ring, Gong Ou's heart grew more and more anxious, as he ran around the huge ancient fortress.
"I have a new painting in my study. You will see it when you come back."A voice crashed into his memory.
His study?
Gong Ou continued to call and run upstairs. He hurriedly and angrily kicked open the door of the study room. The study room was brightly lit.Hearing the kick on the door, Shi Xiaonian looked at him in shock. "Gong Ou, you're back?"
"…"
Seeing that she was completely fine and sitting there, Gong Ou's heart instantly sunk. When he found the place it should be, his tense body also relaxed.
But soon, anger rose in his body."Bam!"
Gong Ou slammed his phone onto the ground, he angrily walked in front of her and bellowed, "Shi Xiaonian, what are you doing, why aren't you answering my call?"
Ever since the afternoon, he had been in an inexplicable panic, wishing that he could immediately fly back to her side.
She actually refused to answer his phone.
"Huh?" Shi Xiaonian was startled, she stood up and took out his own phone, and said apologetically: I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery, I didn't notice it.
"No electricity? You don't know how to charge without electricity? " Gong Ou shouted angrily, "How much time do you have to charge your electric energy? "You don't know if I'll look for you, or if I'll be worried about you?"
Seeing his angry look, Shi Xiaonian knew that he had done wrong, "Sorry, Gong Ou, I won't do it again … "Hm."
Gong Ou pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. He then lowered his head and kissed her lips firmly.
