Chapter 198 Heart flustered, it’s emotional injury (3)

Before he could stand up and take a step, his wrist was grabbed and pulled, and he fell into a strong embrace uncontrollably.

Sitting on Long Pei's body, his wrist was tightly held in his palm, his posture was very ambiguous.

Looking up to meet his dark and impenetrable eyes, "——what are you doing?"

Long Pei's thin lips hooked up with a half-smile, tightened his fingertips to hug her tightly, and said softly, "It's nothing, I just feel that I don't know you well enough!"

Ok?Gu Mingxi raised her eyebrows lightly, not understanding what he meant.

"Sorry!" Long Pei gently stroked her face with his fingers, nostalgic, gentle, shining under the thick eyelashes.

Gu Mingxi still didn't speak, did he figure it out?

"Actually, no matter what you have experienced, I don't care." I care more about your feelings.

"No." She said lightly, her eyes serious and serious, "I haven't always."

She was still the clean Gu Mingxi who only belonged to him.

Long Pei already knew it when he heard her say it just now, and saw through her thoughts sharply, and deliberately teased her just now.Seeing that her expression was not right, how could she be willing to go any further...

It's just that he's not good at explaining. Ming Xi is a smart woman, and she should understand some things to the point.

"I know." Long Pei nodded, the smile in his eyes was fleeting.

The atmosphere was weird and ambiguous, the teasing Gu Mingxi didn't know how to answer his words, struggling in his arms, "I'm going to rest."

Long Pei didn't let go, and kissed the corner of her lips with his lips, his voice was low and hoarse, "Ming Xi?"

She stopped, looked at him, and waited for him to speak.

"It wasn't very busy at first, but it's really busy now." There was a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and the names of the people she mentioned must be looked up now.

In fact, he did not tell Mingxi that when he found out that Mingxi was missing in country E, there were people from country A haunting nearby. It is easy to think that Mingxi's disappearance was a trick of country A.

Where Lian Mo miscalculated, he discovered this clue first and blocked it strictly. Otherwise, with Huo Linmo's impulsive temperament, he would definitely have a stiff fight with country A immediately after discovering this clue.

What Lian Mo didn't expect was that because he had some friendship with Jin Xishuo, he was sure that Jin Xishuo would definitely not attack Gu Mingxi!
Several people ruled it out, and the most suspicious one was Lian Mo. Although the motive had not been confirmed yet, when he was about to leave for country M, it was revealed that Gu Mingxi had lured him to see the fake Gu Mingxi in country E. I have already confirmed in my heart that this matter has something to do with country M!

First, he provoked the friendly relations between the three countries, and after the failure, he did not give up and tried to provoke the relationship between the two countries again; it is obvious who will benefit the most!
It's not that Long Pei didn't know about Lian Mo's ambition, but he didn't expect that Lian Mo's courage was greater than his ambition.

Gu Mingxi knew that Lian Mo's matter was a tricky one, and comforted him, "In this current situation, it's not just what Lian Mo thinks about."

Without a valid reason, it is easy to become a public enemy once you take the initiative to fight.

Long Pei clenched her cold fingers, and said in a low voice, "The incident in Iraq is a good example. It's just that some people have forgotten that he is not leading the United States."

Lian Mo doesn't dare to provoke directly now, and secretly plays these tricks, not because he is afraid that the strength of country M is not enough; once he provokes directly and the other three countries unite, he will become the eternal sinner of country M.

Gu Mingxi understood what he meant.

"I'll help you." Although she didn't know what she could do for him, as long as it was something she could do, she would definitely help him!

Long Pei pursed his lips, seeming to be smiling, and rubbed her long hair with his fingers.

In fact, her staying by his side is the greatest help to him.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The next day.

Long Pei went back to the office early in the morning to deal with affairs, and he didn't even have time to accompany them for breakfast.

Gu Mingxi felt that his health was almost in good shape, and he didn't want to delay Ah Li's studies and forced him to go to school to study normally.

Near noon, she received a call from Long Pei, and she couldn't come back to accompany her for lunch, so she let him take care of her own affairs, and ordered Ru Bing to prepare the car after lunch, and she wanted to go out.

In fact, as soon as the car left the presidential palace, Nan Si reported Gu Mingxi's whereabouts to Long Pei.

Long Pei probably guessed where she wanted to go, so he didn't stop her. He just told Nan Si to have someone follow him secretly, and don't disturb her if there is nothing to do.

*
The car was parked at the gate of Qin's house. It was mid-afternoon and the sun was scorching hot. As soon as I got out of the car, I felt a wave of heat blowing towards my face.

Gu Mingxi reported his name, and was welcomed in by the housekeeper. As soon as he served tea and left, he heard a respectful voice: "Master."

She looked back and saw Xiao Han coming downstairs in casual clothes and slippers, thin and haggard, and when his eyes met her, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah...Mr. Xiao..." Instinctively wanted to call Ah Yuan, but realized that the occasion was wrong, and immediately changed his words.

Xiao Han looked cold, went to sit opposite her and sat down, "I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

Gu Mingxi's expression froze.

Xiao Han didn't explain.Although Long Pei announced that Gu Mingxi was in poor health and needed to rest, he knew something must have happened, just like the two years when he claimed that Gu Mingxi went abroad to relax, it was just an excuse.

"I'm fine." Gu Mingxi pursed her lips, and asked after hesitation, "How are you?"

Xiao Han didn't speak, and looked at the butler with disdain. The butler led the servants back out knowingly, leaving only Gu Mingxi and him in the whole hall.

"It's not very good." He said, his voice paused, "Mother is in jail, father left the house, Nini also left, and I'm the only one who stays here."

The prosperity of the Qin family in the past can be regarded as a complete decline, the family is in a slump, and those who still have some power in the political arena avoid them, and Qin Zhan doesn't care about their affairs.

Gu Mingxi felt a little sad when he heard that, pinched the cup with his fingers, and murmured, "—Actually, you can also leave here."

Get out of here and start a new life.

Xiao Han leaned back, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, "I can't leave my mother alone!" Even though Ye Qing is in prison, he has to stay to try his best to keep Ye Qing alive in prison .

Gu Mingxi lowered her head and sipped her tea lightly. Actually, she came today to say something to A Yuan.It's just that seeing him guarding the Qin family like this makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for my change of words in court, everything would be different now.

"Ayuan..."

"Xi Xi..."

Each of them was silent for a while and then spoke at the same time, looking at each other, embarrassed and helpless, or happy that there is still such a tacit understanding now?
"You talk first." Gu Mingxi put down the glass.

"Xixi, I just want to ask you one thing—" Xiao Han didn't give in, and stared at Gu Mingxi with firm and sharp eyes, and a chilling voice sounded, "Is he Qin Zheng?"

Gu Mingxi's expression changed calmly, and his fingers were crossed and tightened, "What you said is very strange. Qin Zheng died in that fire back then, so who is he?"

I'm sorry, even if I know you are A Yuan, I can't help but lie to you.

"You know who I'm referring to!" Xiao Han's voice was a bit heavy. Seeing Gu Mingxi's expression was calm, he was sure he would not let go, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He leaned back and asked himself, " I used to not understand why my father kept persuading me not to be his enemy, why my father divorced my mother in the end, regardless of the Qin family's life or death; I didn't understand why you liked him so much, now... I understand. "

All understood.

Because the real Long Pei died a long time ago, the current Long Pei is Qin Zheng, Qin Zhan's son, and his half-brother.

Gu Mingxi didn't speak, or she didn't know what to say, and she made many mistakes. Even though they knew each other well, it's better to rot some words in their stomachs forever.

Xiao Han didn't speak any more, just looked at her like this, looking straight at her, the girl he liked finally married his brother, and his brother sent him to prison with his own hands, so cruel that he wanted to kill him.

"——A Yuan." After a long silence, Gu Mingxi spoke abruptly, looking at him with clear eyes, "This is the last time I call you that, I'm sorry about your mother, but I won't regret myself choice. Sorry!"

Guilt is one thing, choice is another.

Even if everything starts all over again, she will still make the same choice, because she can't let Ah Zheng have anything to do.

Xiao Han's spine stiffened silently, he knew how important that man was in her heart, surpassing everything.

"Do you remember when we first met?" He said suddenly, and the topic changed so quickly that Gu Mingxi was taken aback.

"It was around the end of my eighth year. It snowed heavily the day Uncle Qin brought me back."

Gu Mingxi will always remember that day, how disgusted Ye Qing's eyes were, how much Ye Ni hated her look, only Qin Yuan was as warm as water, stretched out his warm hand to hold her cold hand, and welcomed her to Qin's house.

"No." Qin Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile, "I've seen you before that."

Gu Mingxi was stunned, she couldn't remember when she met Qin Yuan before.

"Probably not long after you arrived at Longlin when you were seven years old. Once Qin Zhan took me outside Longlin. Through the iron fence, I saw you wearing a pink princess dress sitting on the grass and counting petals. Seriously, I don’t know why I just want to laugh when I read it.”

Probably because he still remembered Gu Mingxi at that time, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but look up.

If she and Qin Zheng were childhood sweethearts, then what is he?
No one knew how happy he was when he saw his father bring Minxi home, he could finally play with this cute little sister and protect her.

She grew up by his side, and he participated in all her first love, her first kiss, and her menarche; her most innocent and beautiful years were when he was by her side, caring for her carefully in the palm of his hand, and trying his best to protect her comprehensively.

Why did he lose her in the end, even lost her heart together.

Gu Mingxi never thought that there would be such a paragraph, but she had no idea that Qin Yuan was standing outside looking at her at that time.

No wonder it was the first time he came to Qin's house, A Yuan was no stranger to her, and he still had a sense of intimacy.

"I'm sorry!" Gu Mingxi pursed her lips, and bit her lower lip involuntarily with her white teeth, "I really don't know, you have known me so early."

"It has nothing to do with you, I just don't know who I lost to." Fate, or that person?
Xiao Han's drooping eyelids couldn't hide the loss of soul in his eyes, "I really thought about it, no matter what method I use, I must take you back!"

So when Long Pei tried to test him and Gu Mingxi, he also took advantage of the situation and let Long Pei figure it out, got drunk at the bar, and deliberately yelled "Xi Xi" into the phone.

Deliberately appearing beside her, time and time again, he wanted to tell her how dangerous Long Pei was, to tell her that he was A Yuan, and he came back for her.

Subconsciously, he hoped that Mingxi would find out his identity, and then return to him desperately.

Unexpectedly, he still failed in the end, losing to that person, losing to Ming Xi and also losing to fate.

"I'm sorry." Gu Mingxi said this word for the third time today, because besides sorry, she didn't know what else to say to Qin Yuan.The deal is done, no matter whether there is Ah Zheng or not, there is no possibility for her and Qin Yuan.

She stood up and looked at the tip of his nose, "From now on, take care of yourself."

Regardless of her identity or Ah Zheng, she will not be allowed to meet Qin Yuan in private again in the future.

Turning around to leave, Xiao Han suddenly raised his head and looked directly at her thin back, and asked her seriously, "Do you like me because I am the only one who treats you well in this family, or because I look like him? "

Qin Zheng and Qin Yuan are similar in facial features and temperament, gentle and refined, just like little princes.

Gu Mingxi's steps stopped, her spine became obviously stiff, she didn't look back, her eyes stared at the bright floor, her lips whispered, "I don't know."

After that, he walked out of the hall without hesitation.

Outside the window of the room she used to live in, there was an old big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. Every summer, she could hear the cicadas and cicadas, so loud that she couldn't sleep.

Qin Yuan would secretly climb up the tree in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, and chat with her lying on the window to relieve boredom, sometimes until she fell asleep, sometimes until dawn...

There were heartaches and tears in the days of the Qin family, but because of Qin Yuan's company, those things seemed insignificant.

Sometimes when she looked at Qin Yuan, she would occasionally be dazed, as if she was talking to Qin Zheng.

The first time, it was Qin Yuan who sneaked out to buy sanitary napkins for her in the middle of the night. Although it was dark outside, she still saw A Yuan's flushed face.

The first kiss was also at the window. She lay on the window and he sat on the tree branch. The kiss was so natural, as gentle as water, and made her feel her heart beating faster, her face flushed, and her dizzy...

If what happened later, she would definitely marry Qin Yuan, but after what happened later, she knew that a person's heart is very small, and once a small person pretends to be a person's name, she can no longer pretend to be someone else.

During the two years in country E, she occasionally recalled these past events, and she couldn't help thinking, if she fell in love with Long Pei so easily, was it because she didn't love Qin Yuan enough...

Later, when she found out that Long Pei was Ah Zheng, she seemed to suddenly understand.

Many things have already been predestined.

Falling in love with Long Pei is not because she doesn't love Qin Yuan enough, but because she has been looking for the shadow of Qin Zheng in Qin Yuan; falling in love with Long Pei is because he is Qin Zheng from the beginning to the end...

It is the most special person she has hidden in her heart since she was a child.

Some words are hurtful to speak out, it is better to keep silent.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
When Gu Mingxi returned to the presidential palace, Long Pei had already returned and was talking on the phone, when she caught her voice from the corner of her eye, she said something concisely before closing the line.

"I'm back," he said.

"En." She nodded.

After changing her shoes, Gu Mingxi walked up to him and sat down, but she didn't hide it, "I'm going to see Xiao Han."

I know.Long Pei looked at her and didn't speak for a while.

Gu Mingxi also knew that he knew, but he still felt that it would be better to speak out proactively, but with his attitude, he didn't know how to continue talking for a while.

It was too straightforward, if he didn't care, it would appear that he was being sentimental; but if he didn't explain, he was afraid that he would misunderstand.

"I'm going to change clothes first."

Long Pei simply said "En", but still didn't say much.

Gu Mingxi didn't hesitate any longer, stood up and walked towards the stairs.With his hands on the railing, he walked very slowly, his peripheral vision glanced at his figure from time to time, and his eyes flashed obscurity and entanglement.

The two of them seemed to feel that something was wrong.

Either she is overwhelmed, or she is too sensitive.

*
Long Pei knew that if she was not allowed to go to Qin's house, she would not listen.

After all, he came from the Qin family, and Qin Yuan was someone she once liked.

She still cares about the Qin family and Qin Yuan, he knows.

It is impossible to say that there is no grudge in his heart; just because of his relationship with Qin Yuan, he already cares a lot.

If she hadn't pleaded for Qin Yuan in the letter before leaving, Ye Qing might not be the only one in prison now.

He has already restrained his emotions and tried his best to take care of her emotions and feelings, but how much did she understand about these things?
He hoped this was the last time they would see each other.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
After Bai Yan finished dealing with the matter left by Long Pei, he saw that it was getting dark outside the window, so it was time to go back.

The car stopped at the door, just locked the car, turned around and saw a tall and straight black figure standing under the street lamp, and wisps of white smoke floating up.

"What are you standing here for?" Bai Yan walked over and asked curiously.

With a tired and helpless expression on his face, Nan Si took a deep puff of his cigarette, puffing out white smoke, as if flying through the clouds.

"Can you let me sit in for a while?"

There is also a slight sense of fatigue in the voice.

Bai Yan knew it wasn't suitable, and it was obvious that he looked tired, so he nodded with distress, turned and walked towards the door.

Nan Si followed behind him without saying a word.

Bai Yan opened the door for him to come in and sit, then closed the door and went to the kitchen to pour him a glass of water and put it in front of him.

Sit down opposite him, silent for a long time, seeing that he has been silent, just smoking non-stop, couldn't help asking: "Did you quarrel with Rongrong?"

Nan Si raised his eyes and glanced at him, but still didn't speak.

Bai Yan didn't know what to say, if he was someone else, he could still say a few words of comfort, but to Nan Si, he didn't know what to say at all.

His usual wisdom and eloquence were completely lost at this moment.

"I'm wondering...was the original decision wrong?"

After a long time, he murmured out such a sentence, which tore a big hole in Bai Yan's heart.
