Chapter 78

I vomited all the contents of my stomach, and felt slightly better.

Gu Mingxi supported herself to stand up, rinsed her mouth, and patted cold water on her cheeks.Drops of water hung on his pale, paper-like face, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or tears. His lips were dry and cracked, and there were traces of blood dripping out. The bloody smell in his mouth was like the smell of rust.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Gu Mingxi took a deep breath and exhaled, as if he wanted to expel all the stale air in his chest, the left side was still heavy.Both legs were trembling, and he walked out of the bathroom slowly while leaning on the wall, and squinted at him from the corner of the door, his misty eyes couldn't tell whether it was love or only resentment.

Long Pei's cold and hard outline was as tight as a rubber band that would break at any moment, his black pupils avoided her eyes, and he picked her up and walked towards the bed.She is very thin, with protruding bones, and she weighs nothing in her arms, and there is still a faint smell of medicine on her body...

The movement of putting it down was involuntarily relaxed, and he handed the bowl to her without saying a word, and there was still half of the bowl left, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to eat it.

The wet eyelashes were as thick as a fan and cast a blue shadow. After taking the bowl of soup, it was no longer so soupy. After drinking it slowly, it seemed that it was no longer so uncomfortable in the empty stomach.

Long Pei looked at her without saying a word, waiting until she finished the rest of the soup.After giving her a complex and thoughtful look with his deep eyes, he left the room with the tray.

With the sound of closing the door softly, the tall and straight figure was blocked from sight and disappeared. Gu Mingxi's stiff body moved, embraced her slowly arched knees, lowered her head, her long hair was scattered randomly to cover her face, Cover up the deep sadness.

She couldn't see her expression, her trembling shoulders betrayed her disguise, tears soaked her clothes and burned her skin.
Long Pei went downstairs to hand over the plate to Ru Bing, Ru Bing saw the hot red skin on his hand with sharp eyes, "Your Excellency, your hand is burnt, I'll get you some ointment."

The lowered gaze swept over her wrist calmly, probably because of the hot soup accidentally splashed when she overturned the bowl.

"It's okay, I'm going back to the presidential palace. No matter what method I have to watch her eat at night." The deep voice ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Ru Bing nodded, watching his back leave.

Long Pei got into the car, Yu Si closed the door, got in the car and was about to start the engine, when a cold voice came from behind, "Smoke."

Yu Si was stunned for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately handed him the special cigarettes and lighter.

Long Pei took out one and lit it, and the white mist blurred the indifferent outline and sharp eyes.The scarlet between the fingers flickered, and the faint smell of tobacco diffused in the carriage, as if completely enveloping this person, no one could see through him.

Yu Si sat up straight and carefully glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye.Your Excellency has rarely touched cigarettes in recent years. He said that smoking, drinking, and sex are desires that corrode the mind.Unless you are really upset that he will come to one, you will never touch these.

A man who is so calm and possesses self-control that is different from ordinary people, today he has three in a row, one can imagine his emotions.

Just halfway through the last one, Long Pei stretched out his hand and crushed it into the ashtray, pursed his thin lips and said three words, "Go back to the presidential palace!"

*************
Bai Yan reported the afternoon schedule and tomorrow's schedule to Pei Ta.Seeing that there was no change in your expression after speaking, he hesitated and said: "He Lei just called to convey Madam Jin's intention to have dinner there in the evening."

Long Pei closed his eyes, hesitated for half a second and nodded, agreeing.

Bai Yan and Nan Si knew about your Excellency and Madam's affairs, and they could guess what Madam Jin had in mind, but they couldn't guess what your Excellency was thinking.

"Is there anything else?" Long Pei raised his head and looked at the two with cold eyes.

Nan Si came back to his senses, suppressed his smile, coughed lightly, and said, "The matter about the crown prince of country E has been dealt with, and several agents have also left the capital, and it is confirmed that they have all returned to country E."

"Do you know his motive for coming to country C?"

"I don't know. According to them, the crown prince quarreled with the old president and ran away from home to relax. The strange thing is that the crown prince did not enter the most prosperous capital in country C, but stayed in Wushui Town for a long time. I guess Maybe you're looking for someone."

Nan Si expressed his guess.If he wasn't looking for someone, what would a crown prince go all the way to a small town in another country for?

"Wushui..." Long Pei frowned. The name was very familiar, as if he had heard it mentioned before.Wushui is a small town close to the capital. The economy is not very good. Young people come to work in the capital. Only the elderly and children are left in the town to maintain the economy through tourism. Those who are capable have already migrated to the capital.

What is the purpose of the crown prince in Wushui?
"Go and find out what he did in Wushui, who is he looking for!"

"Yes." Nan Si bowed and left the office with Bai Yan.

Bai Yan walked very slowly, and suddenly stopped. Ever since Nan Si said Wushui, his expression became serious.Nan Si stopped beside him, and only two people could hear his lowered voice, "Do you want me to buy some medicine for you?"

Bai Yan came back to his senses and gave him a vicious look, "Get out! I just remembered that I read the information about my wife before. She lived in Wushui."

"Madam?" Nan Si raised his eyebrows, and said disapprovingly: "You don't think the crown prince is looking for his wife? Judging by the time, it is impossible for the crown prince and his wife to know each other, so how could he come to her!"

Bai Yan thought about it for a while, the wife was born in country C, and it was the first time for the crown prince to come to country C, so they couldn't get hooked in eight lifetimes. "It's because I think too much. You'd better check the crown prince carefully."

"I know it in my heart." Nan Si pulled his lips, thinking of something, couldn't help but said: "Do you think your Excellency wants to be like the ancient Chinese, wanting E Huang Nv Ying?"

"Shut up! Your Excellency's business is something you and I can discuss?" Bai Yan's face was serious, and he scolded in a cold voice, ignoring his nonsense and leaving quickly.

Nan Si touched the tip of his nose wearily, if it wasn't for the lingering passion last night, he would really think that Bai Yan really likes Your Excellency!Every time you talk about your Excellency, you are so serious, what kind of solemnity is it!

It wasn't unreasonable for him to suspect that Bai Yan liked you at the beginning. You felt a little uncomfortable in your heart, and you seemed to have a very important position in Bai Yan's heart.

In the evening, Long Pei returned to the Haoting Garden very late, knowing that Ru Bing had watched her finish eating and frowning for a whole day, and when she returned to the room, Gu Mingxi had already fallen asleep.

Changing clothes and taking a bath were involuntarily relaxed, and when he lifted the quilt and lay beside her and was about to reach out to hug her, Gu Mingxi suddenly woke up, staring straight at him, and his body stiffened instinctively.

It seemed to be an instinct, as soon as he approached her, she would wake up, cold and stiff.

The black eyes sank calmly, and the big palm that was about to touch her was withdrawn abruptly.Suppressing his anger, he pursed his lips and said, "Sleep."

He closed his eyes first, didn't touch her again, and turned his back to her sideways, so she probably wouldn't be so tense and stiff.

Gu Mingxi turned back to back, leaving a distance between them, her body was still stiff and she couldn't sleep.Looking at the yellow light with open eyes, like a tireless robot, those emotions are suppressed and hidden, and the cold and tense atmosphere is more like the calm before the storm.

*********
At three o'clock in the morning, Long Pei suddenly turned over and pressed her under him for a moment, his sharp eyes were as sharp and cold as knives, and there was danger.

Gu Mingxi was startled, her whole body became more stiff.His breathing seemed to be still, and his eyes stared straight at him, seeming to complain silently.

She doesn't sleep so damn well, as long as she's by her side, she stays up all night.Anger rushed into her heart, her blood was boiling with anger, and the hand that clasped her chin suddenly went straight up...

Gu Mingxi resisted and wanted to push him away, the hot tears in the corners of his eyes flowed down, and he cried even more fiercely when he couldn't struggle, tasted the salty taste, Long Pei paused, opened his black eyes and looked sad Staring at her sadly...

His hands were stiff, and his foggy eyes looked at him, empty and numb, leaving only the emotion of disgust.

Both of them were breathing rapidly, but they were no longer as warm and harmonious as before.

The big palm holding her wrist loosened, slowly got up from her body, got out of bed and went to the wardrobe to change clothes slowly.She didn't look at Gu Mingxi in the middle, and she didn't want to look at him, she arched her back sideways like a curled shrimp, pulled her clothes up with her fingers, and tightly grasped the corner of the pillow, her white teeth Biting her lip, trying to hold back something.

Long Pei changed his clothes, left the room with strides, and slammed the door with a little force. The sound of "bang" echoed in the empty room, and it hit her heart with a sound, which was very painful.

Only anger and resentment remained between them.

In the long night without him by his side, Gu Mingxi's tense nerves slowly relaxed, he closed his eyes and fell into sleep without knowing when, his body gradually became less stiff, and he was naturally comfortable.

**************
Gu Mingxi woke up in the morning, not in a good mood, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs.After what happened yesterday, she finally figured it out, at least she still has her daughter, she shouldn't be immersed in her own sorrow and ignore Yan'er.

"Mummy..." Long Ziqi's eyes lit up immediately when he saw her, and he ran to her and hugged her arm, "Mummy, you are finally willing to go downstairs."

There was apology in her indifferent eyes, she touched her little head, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Mummy has neglected you recently. I promise I won't do it in the future, please don't be angry with Mummy!"

Long Ziqi shook his head, and said softly, "I love Mommy the most. As long as Mommy is happy, I will be happy..."

Gu Mingxi smiled gratifiedly because of her daughter's sensible and well-behaved, but it still seemed a bit far-fetched.

Seeing this, Ru Bing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Ma'am, it's best if you look away. You don't know, it's really distressing to see the young lady looking so unhappy these days. Anyway, you still have the young lady."

"Thank you, I understand." Gu Mingxi knelt down and hugged Long Ziqi's milky body, "Mommy won't make you worry anymore."

It is impossible for her to have any more children in the future, Yan'er is her life.No matter how much she resents and hates Long Pei, he is Yan'er's father after all. Yan'er likes this father, even if it is just whitewashing the peace, she will continue to support it.

For her daughter, she also has to be strong.

Long Ziqi hugged her neck, patted her shoulder with his fingers, and said in the tone of a little adult: "Mum, don't be sad. Without a younger brother, you still have Yan'er. Yan'er will stay with you for the rest of your life, protect you, and won't let you down." Anyone bully you!"

Gu Mingxi's nose turned sour when she heard her daughter's words. Subconsciously, she hugged her even tighter without a single gap.

*************
Long Pei, who left in the middle of the night, never came back. Gu Mingxi forced himself to eat the nutritious soup that Ru Bing made for himself every day to recuperate his body.Pick Yan'er to and from school personally, accompany her to do her homework, tell her stories, sleep with her at night, and put all her energy and attention on her daughter.

In order to make Mommy happy, Long Ziqi told her the funny things that happened at school every day, and told Gu Mingxi the jokes the teacher told.Every time Gu Mingxi just smiled faintly, there was no smile in his eyes...

She has worked very hard to make Mommy happy, but Mommy has never really smiled. Although she is small, she can tell clearly whether Mommy is really smiling or pretending to comfort herself.

Daddy hasn't come back for a long time, and I really want Long Ziqi not to tell Gu Mingxi, nor her classmates at school, what Daddy said. She can only tell Dabai, the only one who accompanies her and can't speak to comfort her.

"Dabai, tell me, will it be like what Lianlian said, Daddy and Mommy will get divorced and not live together?" Long Ziqi sat on the grass, rubbing Dabai's head with his fingers, looking listless .

What should I do if my father and mother are not together?Should I live in the old place with Mommy like before?

Dabai wagged his tail, looked at her with black eyes, unable to speak, put his front paw on her knee as if to comfort her.

"Dabai, I'm not afraid of living in a dilapidated house, I'm just afraid that I won't see Daddy, I'm afraid I'll miss him very much." I haven't seen Daddy these days, I already miss him very much, and I won't be able to see him again. What to do there.

Dabai's head was also placed on her lap, rubbing his head against her stomach in a joyous way, and Long Ziqi giggled, "Okay, Dabai, don't make trouble! Be good. If it's true, I probably can't put you Take it away, you follow Daddy, I follow Mommy, and I will miss you very much."

Gu Mingxi saw that it was getting dark, and Long Ziqi was still playing outside, so he wanted to ask her to come in, but before he got to her side, he heard her sullen voice confiding to Dabai.

My heart suddenly tightened, what the hell are I doing?
My daughter is troubled and unhappy, but I don't know it at all.To make her daughter feel lonely, she can only talk to Dabai...

Gu Mingxi, you are such a failure
"Dabai, I don't want Daddy and Mommy to be separated." The low voice seemed to be about to cry out of sadness.

Gu Mingxi was so distressed that she couldn't stop, she squatted down and hugged her in her arms, choked up, "Yan'er. I'm sorry. It's all Mommy's fault. Mommy doesn't even know you're unhappy."

Long Ziqi looked up at her with tears in his eyes, and begged in a cautious voice, "Mummy, don't quarrel with Daddy, okay? Lianlian said that her uncle and aunt just quarreled like this, ignoring each other, and they couldn't stay together until the end. , no one wants her younger brother.”

Gu Mingxi herself grew up in an environment without father's love. She understands the feeling of not having her father's care and protection, and she also knows that Yan'er has admiration and dependence on Long Pei.

"Yan'er will not become a child that no one wants. Mommy guarantees that Yan'er, you are Mommy's biggest treasure. How can Mommy not want you?"

The choked voice was full of self-blame, how could she make such a mistake, how could she make her daughter worry about herself!
Long Ziqi's big tears rolled down from his eyes, and he asked uncertainly, "Really? Is it true that Mommy doesn't want Daddy anymore?"

Gu Mingxi was stunned, wiping her tears with her fingers but didn't know how to answer her daughter's question.

There are many problems between himself and Long Pei, the biggest problem is Yi Ruo. Thinking of him losing his child because of Yi Ruo, his heart is pierced, and he really hates and resents him.

Long Ziqi tugged at the corner of her clothes with his small hands, and begged, "Mum, don't be angry with Daddy again, let Daddy go home, okay?"

"Yan'er." Gu Mingxi hesitated to speak, his water eyes flickered with uncertain light and dark, he was in a dilemma.

She couldn't tell Yan'er that Long Pei's behavior had ruined his god-like image in Yan'er's heart, but if she was to forgive Long Pei and take the initiative to find him, it would be even more impossible!
"Mommy. In fact, Daddy wants me to try to make you happy these days. He said that you will be happy when you see me. But no matter how hard I try, you are not happy. Is Daddy lying to me?"

Long Ziqi's frustrated voice made Gu Mingxi's expression stiff, "What did you say?"
