Chapter 987 - Heart in Candles
"What do you want to say to me?" Gong Ou coldly asked as his black eyes swept over her. He then glanced at the driver in front of him and said, "I have a lot of things to say to you. Let's talk about them when we get back."
"If I don't want to hear it, there's no need to say it!" Gong Ou said coldly, he could not listen to anything that had to do with Mu Qianchu."…"
It was something he didn't want to hear, but something she had to say.
Shi Xiaonian watched him massage her leg and noticed that his fingers were much thinner than before. She retracted her leg and said, "No need to rub anymore."She saw his emaciation in his eyes, and it was not that he was unmoved.
"What does it have to do with you!"
Gong Ou unhappily glanced at her, then forcefully brought her leg up. Shi Xiaonian struggled a little, then lowered his body to press down on her legs. A small bag fell out of his pocket.
Shi Xiaonian was startled, she lowered her eyes and saw that it was a fireproof bag, and it was the fireproof bag that all of them had wrapped up their last wishes.
Of course, Gong Ou would not have the heart to see the last wishes of others. This fireproof bag was hers.She wrote it, and she knew what it was.
"So that's why you didn't go to England." Otherwise, with his fiery temper, he would have exploded the hospital or flown to England long ago.
"…" Gong Ou lowered his head and picked up the fireproof bag, wiping away the dust that did not exist at the beginning, and then put it back in his pocket and snorted, "At least you're sensible."Be sensible? It meant that her last wish was to love him, but not to write about Mu Qianchu. That was why he could feel better.
Shi Xiaonian did not want to lie to him, so she said, "The reason why my last wish was not written in words, is because I told it to him in person."
"What did he say?"Gong Ou's eyes suddenly became extremely sinister, and his hand grabbed her calf.
She frowned, and Gong Ou immediately let go of her hold. He stared at her with shining eyes, and when he saw the nervousness in her eyes, he said helplessly, "I say, if we can survive this, then I will let go of everything that happened in the past. He is very happy to hear it."
If Mu Qianchu had been shot and turned into a vegetable, there was one other thing that she did not regret, and that was when she honestly told him his feelings and did not let him fall asleep with a guilty conscience.
"You're really generous."
The enmity between parents can just be let down as soon as it's over. Is it that amazing to experience life and death together?
Gong Ou pursed his lips, his expression cold.
"Actually, after what happened at the beginning of time, I realized something. Maybe I really should be more honest, so that I won't regret it." Shi Xiaonian said while looking at his cold face.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Gong Ou coldly snorted and once again rubbed her leg. After rubbing it a few times, he raised his eyes and looked at her, and said coldly, "Then, what exactly do you feel for Mu Qianchu now?"
"It's definitely not love."Shi Xiaonian said this because she knew very well what kind of answer Gong Ou wanted to hear, so she gave him a definite answer.
"Nonsense!" Gong Ou raised his eyebrows."What do you mean nonsense? You speak as if you already knew." He already knew that he was going to be so jealous of her.
"Of course I knew!""Is that so?"
"Of course! I'm your man, what don't I know? " Gong Ou said haughtily.
"Oh."
Shi Xiaonian looked at him quietly. Then wouldn't the matter that he was about to talk about affect him a little less?The two of them returned to the Imperial Castle peacefully. Although Gong Ou said that he didn't want to hear those words that might come too late, he would ask her repeatedly the moment they arrived home.
Shi Xiaonian was completely confused by the question.
She pushed Gong Ou away and said softly, "Alright, before we talk about this, go take a bath first, and add on to the five thousand. Come look for me after your mood has become especially calm."
"Counting again?" Gong Ou glared at her. Let him count if he's free, is he a primary school student?"Yes." Shi Xiaonian nodded seriously.
"What exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Gong Ou frowned, realizing how nervous Shi Xiaonian was. This made him feel very bad.
"Don't you know everything?" Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
"…"
Gong Ou frowned even more.
"Alright, go ahead. After the early discussion, go to bed early. Remember to come back to find me after you take a bath and count to five thousand." Shi Xiaonian pushed him away.
"So many demands! "How annoying!"
Seeing that she had insisted on leaving impatiently, Shi Xiaonian looked at his back and bit her lips. She knew that she was very annoyed, but since she had decided to be honest, she wanted to tell Gong Ou in a relaxed and calm environment that she could minimize the harm he received.
After watching Gong Ou walk into the distance, Shi Xiaonian walked into the kitchen and chatted with the servants for a while before he brought out some ingredients. She picked them up while instructing the servants to help his with the handling of the ingredients, and then got busy himself.
The equipment in the kitchen was very good, but despite that, Shi Xiaonian was still working very hard.A set of exquisite snacks and dishes appeared on the long table. Shi Xiaonian was so tired that her entire face was flushed red. A servant at the side could not help but advise, "Why not let the chef come over?"
"It doesn't matter."
Shi Xiaonian smiled as she shook her head and continued working.
Two hours later, Shi Xiaonian finally made a table full of dishes in a hurry. She was tired enough to put the dishes into the dining room one by one.She set colored candles around the table, one by one, leaving only two opposite places without candles.
He turned off the lights, and the lights in the restaurant dimmed. It was full of romantic elegance.
"Whew."
After doing all this, Shi Xiaonian heaved a sigh of relief. The atmosphere and environment had all been set up, she took out her phone and took a look.
It has already been more than two hours, why hasn't Gong Ou come down yet?
Is five thousand so hard to count?She turned her head, only to see that Gong Ou had already walked to the entrance of the dining hall. He was still wearing his shirt and pants, and there were still two buttons missing on his collar.
"You didn't take a bath?"
Shi Xiaonian asked in shock."Yes." Gong Ou replied in a low voice. He raised his head and looked at the circle of candlelight on the dining table.
Even though the candlelight was dim, Shi Xiaonian was still able to see the trace of scarlet red in his eyes, which was clearly not like two hours ago.
"Why are your eyes so red?" Shi Xiaonian asked worriedly.
Gong Ou closed his eyes and looked at her, "When you were bathing, you made your eyes wide open.""Didn't you say you didn't take a bath?" Shi Xiaonian looked at his clothes. It was really strange that his words would be muddled.
Gong Ou looked at the clothes on his body that followed her line of sight, "There's no bathrobe in the bathroom, so I didn't change my clothes. I'll take a shower later."
"…"
This Reason...Shi Xiaonian didn't know whether she should believe it or not, but she looked into his eyes, "Are your eyes alright? Or the doctor at home. "
"I'm fine." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, he looked at the candle on the table, "Aren't we going to talk? Talk here? "
It was unknown if it was because of the dim candlelight, but Shi Xiaonian felt that his face was extremely gloomy, an unspeakable gloominess.
But he was clearly just a grumpy kid before, and everything was fine.
Was it her imagination?"Here, sit down." Shi Xiaonian did not want to drag it out anymore, so she pulled Gong Ou and sat down at the dining table, then walked to the opposite side, reached out to open the silver lids, and revealed many delicious snacks and dishes under their gazes.
The candlelight was like a perfect filter, adorning all the dishes on the table with exquisite care.
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at Gong Ou. Gong Ou sat there, his red eyes staring at the dishes in front of him in shock.
"Do you like it?" Shi Xiaonian smiled and asked, as she handed over a plate and knife and fork to him, "Here you go, you can begin to eat.""…"
Gong Ou sat there without moving.
"Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian called out again, somewhat puzzled. What's wrong with him?
Shi Xiaonian seemed to have finally reacted to it, her gaze fixed on the plate in her hands. Only after a long time did she raise his hand and receive it, Shi Xiaonian pointed to the nearest dessert at his side and said, "You can start from here. It's very sweet, and will make you feel a little better."This was all she had left.
"What are you trying to say?"
Gong Ou scooped up a spoonful of dessert and placed it in his mouth. He had always felt that Shi Xiaonian's dishes were very nice to eat, and felt that it was the most suitable food for his taste.
This was the first time, he felt that Shi Xiaonian's dessert was so sweet that it was greasy.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian sat across him with her hands on her knees. She raised her eyes to look at Gong Ou's gloomy face, pursed her lips, and then began to speak in a low voice, "Gong Ou, I hope you know that even if I don't say such words to you, it's not because you're bad. It's not because you're bad, it's all my fault.""You haven't said it yet and you're already deciding who's wrong and who's right?"
Gong Ou said in a deep voice as he placed a spoonful of the greasy dessert onto his lips. A pair of eyes stared deeply at her through the candlelight.
Shi Xiaonian bit her lips, intertwined her hands, and said, "Gong Ou, in truth, there is one thing I lied to you about. Ever since you set up a trap to protect me during the Hill incident, I haven't been doing well for the past few days, and yet I am telling you that there is nothing wrong with me.""…"
Gong Ou bit the spoon.
"I... I was on the verge of collapse. " Shi Xiaonian said hesitantly, but suddenly felt that his words were too harsh, and quickly changed his words, "Actually it's not that serious, it's just that there's something emotional going on, you know, I've had it before, and you helped me walk out.""…"
Gong Ou sat there silently, and without a word, he took the spoon and ate the dessert.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him. Since he did not say anything, she could only continue, "The reason is that I cannot bear to have so many people sacrifice themselves for me, so the two children were also scared witless by me. I feel that I am very useless, and I feel sorry for them."
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.Gong Ou looked at her silently and soon, he saw the bottom of the dessert.
