exclusive ex-wife

Chapter 196 Heart flustered, it’s emotional injury (1)

When Long Pei came out of the bathroom, Gu Mingxi had already changed his clothes, stood in front of the dressing table, and stroked the mahogany comb with his fingers, it was a very delicate comb.

He walked over and took the comb in her hand, "I saw this by accident when I was going to the temple, and I think it matches you very well."

There is a saying in the ancients - long hair and the king's heart, luckily don't forget each other!

At the first sight of this mahogany comb, he thought of her and bought it, and kept it on the dressing table. He always believed that she would come back.

The corner of Gu Mingxi's mouth twitched slightly, sitting in front of the mirror, watching him comb his hair seriously through the mirror.

Long Pei gently held her long hair with one hand, and slowly combed the ends of her hair, with a serious and focused expression, more serious than dealing with his state affairs.

She took out a red hairpin from the storage box on the side and combed her hair up, so that her two exquisite ears were exposed, which was very beautiful.

Seeing the watch on his wrist, Gu Mingxi suddenly remembered that his own watch was missing.There was a trace of sadness in the bright eyes, which was very regrettable.

That watch, the first gift he gave himself; especially a couple watch.

Before she jumped into the sea last time, she stayed in Haoting Garden. After returning, Long Pei put the watch on her wrist again, and she was never willing to leave.

This time, the watch seemed to be really lost.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The atmosphere of the breakfast was not good, Long Lifei's face was stinky because of what happened last night, Gu Mingxi was depressed because of the watch, and he was not in the mood.

The atmosphere was cold and low pressure, the servants and Ru Bing didn't know what happened.

Long Pei was also very thoughtful, he didn't say anything, and went to the office after breakfast.

Gu Mingxi didn't ask for KissGoodbye like yesterday, and said calmly that he was busy at noon and couldn't come back to accompany them for dinner.

Gu Mingxi was still thinking about the watch in her mind, but she didn't notice the complicated and obscure look in Long Pei's eyes when he looked at her.

During the day, Gu Mingxi rested at home and took various medicines prescribed by Qianshang, such as various tonics stewed in ice.Long Lifei said that he would stay at home with her, but he was cold-tempered and didn't like to talk. He would just sit beside her with a book and read without saying a word.

In the evening, Long Pei came back early and saw Gu Mingxi taking care of the flowers he planted in the glass greenhouse. He took off his coat and walked over.

When Gu Mingxi saw him coming back, his eyes lit up.

Long Pei reached out to take the kettle in her hand, and sprinkled water skillfully. Although there was no emotion on the stern outline, there was always something meaningful in the corner of his eyes.

"—Minxi!"

When he opened his mouth, Gu Mingxi's eyes naturally fell on his perfect side face.As the sun was setting, the warm orange light shone through the glass on his side face, which was coated with a thin halo, which was really beautiful.

Gu Mingxi never knew that his appearance was so stern and beautiful.

"There are many things in life that we cannot control. I always think that I can arrange the fate of everyone, but you. Your fate has never been in my hands."

The voice paused, and the dark eyes looked at her affectionately, "No matter whose hands your fate is in, you will be my only wife."

The sound fell, the kettle in his hand was put down, and his long arms stretched out to hug her, gently, mixed with distress.

No matter how much she has experienced, he will not give up on her.

will never.

Gu Mingxi's calm expression flashed a hint of doubt, and he didn't understand what he meant by these words he suddenly said.Just hearing the words "you will be my only wife", Dai Mei frowned slightly, and a trace of ambiguity was fleeting.

The light of the setting sun elongated the figures of the two people and overlapped each other, making it impossible to distinguish between you and me.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Time goes fast and slow, and the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Mingxi's body is gradually recovering, her steps are steady, there is no problem, and she is gradually able to make a sound, but because she has not been able to say a complete sentence, she has not spoken in front of anyone.

When I am alone, I will practice my vocalizations. After all, I have not spoken for half a year. At this stage, it seems that a child has just learned to speak.

No matter how busy Long Pei is, he must have dinner with them, even if he runs out, he will go back to work overtime.He hugged her to sleep every night, except for hugs and irrepressible kisses, he didn't do anything excessive to her.

When I can't help it, I would rather take a cold shower or go to the gym to exercise than touch him.

Gu Mingxi was really puzzled, his body gradually improved, why did he abuse himself so much?I also wanted to ask him several times, is it because he is thin-skinned, and there is really no way to take the initiative to bring up such a thing.

It's been stuck like this...

In the evening, after dinner, Gu Mingxi went back to the room to take a bath, while Long Pei went to the study to deal with urgent matters. When she returned to the room, she just came out of the bathroom.

The long hair was wet and docile on the neck, and the water droplets on the tip of the hair dripped on the bathrobe.

Long Pei naturally went to get a towel, and sat by the bed to wipe the water drops from her hair.

Gu Mingxi sat quietly, and was used to him doing daily trivial things like squeezing toothpaste, putting on shoes, wiping and combing hair and so on.It seems to be a trivial thing, but it takes a lot of love to persist every day and take the trouble.

Besides, he is still such a busy person.

Out of the corner of his eye, he secretly looked at him, the light just hit one side of his face, half of his face was bathed in light, and the other half was immersed in darkness, it was like a perfect combination of angel and devil.

Long Pei knew that she was peeking at him, so he wiped her hair calmly, pretending not to notice, but the corners of his eyebrows raised involuntarily.

The water on the hair was almost wiped off. He threw the towel aside and rubbed her hair with his palm. "Rest early, I still have some documents to deal with."

Again.A hint of doubt flashed across his cold eyes, what happened to him?
In the past two days, he let Gu Mingxi go to bed first, and he went back to his room in the middle of the night, and fell asleep with her in his arms.

Long Pei stood up, turned around and wanted to leave, took a step and realized that he was being held back by something.Turning around, she saw slender white fingers tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, and looked along the slender arms...

The black and white pupils reflected the light, looking at him brightly, confused and puzzled, the red lips were slightly pursed, and he uttered two simple words——

"A Zheng!"

Something resembling joy seemed to flash across Long Pei's eyes, and it was fleeting. He immediately held her hand, "You can talk now."

Gu Mingxi nodded.

In the past two days, she has been secretly practicing pronunciation, from Ah to Zheng, two very simple sounds, she practiced repeatedly, never thought these two words sounded so good.

But at this moment, when she read the word A Zheng from her mouth, there was a lingering softness in Long Pei's ears.

Great, she can talk again.Although Long Pei was calm on the surface, he couldn't stop his joy in his heart. He stroked her cheek with his fingers and couldn't help kissing her cheek.

There was a rippling smile on the corner of Gu Mingxi's mouth, his fingers were intertwined with his, and his eyes were shining brightly.

It's good that she can talk, but——

Thinking of something, Long Pei's heart was blocked again, and his fingers brushed her bangs covering her eyes, "have a good rest."

I'm about to leave...

"Are you angry?" Gu Mingxi couldn't help but opened his mouth.

Otherwise, she really doesn't understand why he keeps avoiding her all the time, especially at night.

"No." Long Pei said in a low voice, his big palm landed on her head, his voice was the same as usual, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, you should rest early."

Let go of her hand, turn around and leave.

Gu Mingxi watched his back leave the room with dazed eyes, the sound of closing the door was soft, but it was like a stone hitting his heart hard, causing waves of vortexes.

The room is deserted, and the hands are full of cold...

I don't know what it feels like, I just feel a little uncomfortable.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
In the study, Long Pei has no work, because he is not in the mood and can't concentrate. Besides, those things are not in a hurry, so they don't need to be dealt with immediately.

Sitting on the leather chair, lighting a cigarette, white mist swirls around him, blurring his whole body, making him even more impenetrable.

He is not a pedantic man, he will feel a little uncomfortable, but he won't take it too seriously.What he was worried about was Ming Xi, whether she could let it go, too many things happened in these years, leaving too much shadow on her mind.

At the beginning, she was afraid of water, so he could use his life to help her, but this time, he didn't know how to help her due to the psychological shadow.

If the means are too tough, I'm afraid it will backfire, and if the means are too soft, I'm worried that she will think wildly.

For the first time, Long Pei felt that there were still things that he could not handle perfectly.

The spark at the fingertips flickered, silver ash fell on the hand, the room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, the tranquil space invaded the skin coldly, penetrated into the internal organs, powerless.

- Knock knock.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Come in." He squeezed out a word.

The door was pushed open, but no sound was heard, he looked up and saw Gu Mingxi standing at the door, his eyes raised, "Why didn't you rest?"

Gu Mingxi walked in and put the cup in front of him, "Don't drink coffee at night, it hurts your stomach." His voice was unnatural and rustling.

Seeing the milk, Long Pei's eyes lit up, "Okay."

Gu Mingxi stood in place for a while, neither moving nor speaking.

The atmosphere is kind of weird.

"Do you have something to say?" After a long time, he spoke first.

Gu Mingxi nodded, bit her lips with her white teeth, and said softly, "I said before, if I can come back alive, I am willing to hand over my fate to you and control it freely."

He was angry because he left without saying goodbye, she understood.She would rather he mocked herself and vented her displeasure, but such an attitude of being far and near was too tortured for her.

Long Pei's expression sank calmly, and he remembered what she said in his mind, that she would come back alive to atone for her sins.

So, now she still feels that she should atone for her sins!

"I know." He said three words in a low voice, and refused to say one more word because of his miserliness.

Hearing his indifferent answer, Gu Mingxi's heart sank, but the surface was still calm, the stuffiness in his chest was so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to suffocate.
