"Young Master Gong."
A voice came from outside.
At that moment, Gong Shilin stood at the door and didn't enter.
Instead, he asked in a gentle tone, "Miss Li, may I come in?"
Very polite.
The attitude of a gentleman.
Because Li Wenshu was in the inner room, she could only see a shadow standing at the door.
Just as she was about to invite him in —
Li Cheng suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.
An imposing manner.
"Ah Cheng …"
Li Wenshu couldn't stop him.
Li Cheng reached the door and stood in front of Gong Shilin. He raised his chin and pointed his nose at him.
"What are you doing here?" he questioned.
Gong Shilin frowned, "I'm here to see your sister."
"No need! Anyway, my sister doesn't need your concern. "
"Actually, you don't have to be so hostile towards me."
"I like to be hostile towards you, so what?" Li Cheng's lips curled into a sinister smile. He took two steps closer to him and said, "Why don't … we play around here? I guarantee that my father and your father won't come. "
Gong Shilin was speechless, "…"
"Why? Are you afraid? "
"I don't want to play with you here."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Cheng's face was full of arrogance and disdain.
He reached out and was about to grab Gong Shilin's clothes.
Suddenly, a voice came from inside the room —
"Ah Cheng, stop fooling around."
This made Li Cheng's hand stop.
His eyebrows were all furrowed.
He gritted his teeth.
He glared at Gong Shilin and warned him softly, "I'll let you off this time. Next time, I'll beat you to death."
He raised his eyebrows high.
Then, a voice came from inside, "Young Master Gong, come in."
Li Cheng clenched his fists and could only step aside.
Gong Shilin directly walked past him and entered.
Leaving a gust of cold wind.
The room was very warm and a gust of hot air rushed towards his face.
This made Gong Shilin, who had been standing outside for a long time, shiver.
Li Cheng followed him into the room.
But he had only taken a few steps when Li Wenshu's voice came again, "Ah Cheng, you go out first."
Li Cheng stopped in his tracks.
"Sister …"
"Listen to me and go out first."
Unwillingly, Li Cheng glared at him again.
Only then did he go out.
Gong Shilin did not enter the inner chamber, but stood in front of the curtain, bowed slightly, and asked, "Miss Li, are you feeling better?"
Li Wenshu said, "I'm much better. Many thanks for Young Master Gong's concern."
"If you catch a cold, you must not delay it."
"It's an old problem. I'll be fine after drinking some medicine. Why did you come to see me in person?"
If Gong Zuo Xiang did not ask him to come, he might not have come.
He said, "Since we are engaged, I should naturally care about you."
Hearing this, Li Wenshu smiled. Her hands gently pinched the sheets, and through the faintly shaking curtain, she asked, "Then what if … we don't have an engagement?"
Ugh!
Gong Shilin choked for a moment, but his expression remained calm.
It was as if Li Wenshu wasn't asking him.
He replied calmly, "Even if we weren't engaged, I would still care about you. After all, you and I … grew up together."
Hehe.
Li Wenshu smiled.
Then, he instructed the maidservant beside him, "You can leave first."
The maid bowed. "Yes."
She left silently.
Gong Shilin still stood behind the curtain obediently.
Until Li Wenshu called out to him, "Gong Shilin, come in."
She called his name directly!
It was slightly domineering.
Gong Shilin was not surprised, as if he was used to her calling him by his full name.
He pulled the curtain open and walked in.
Li Wenshu pointed at the medicine on the table with her eyes. "Help me bring the medicine over."
"Okay."
He did as he was told.
She brought it to the bedside.
Li Wenshu patted the bedside with her hand. "Sit."
Gong Shilin hesitated, his gaze never meeting Li Wenshu's.
Seeing that he did not sit down, Li Wenshu said, "How are you going to feed me medicine if you stand like this?"
Feed me medicine?
Gong Shilin's hand trembled.
So much so that the spoon in the bowl hit the edge of the bowl with a clang.
But in the end, he still sat down.
But he still looked away!
He did not look at the woman in front of him.
Li Wenshu said again, "Feed me medicine."
There was a commanding tone to everything.
Gong Shilin picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of hot medicine. He looked up, stared at Li Wenshu's lips, and brought the medicine to her mouth bit by bit.
However —
Li Wenshu did not open her mouth.
She looked at Gong Shilin with an unfathomable gaze.
Her good-looking brows furrowed because of this.
Seeing that she did not open her mouth to drink the medicine, Gong Shilin finally looked up half an inch.
Their gazes met.
The atmosphere suddenly became a lot more solemn at this moment.
Gong Shilin's hand froze in the air.
The medicine in the spoon seemed to have already turned cold.
Li Wenshu looked at him indifferently.
He also looked at her indifferently.
Finally —
Li Wenshu asked him very seriously, "Do you really want to marry me?"
This sentence was extremely rebellious.
Gong Shilin seemed to never lie in front of her.
He slowly put down his stiff hand and said, "We grew up together. Maybe others don't know what I'm thinking, but you should know."
"I want you to tell me yourself."
Say it yourself!
After a long time —
"I don't love you!" Gong Shilin said.
I don't love you!
These two words were solemn and forceful.
It also explained everything.
Li Wenshu was neither disappointed nor surprised, because she knew that just as Gong Shilin had said, they grew up together. Others might not know what Gong Shilin was thinking, but it was impossible for her not to know.
Gong Shilin asked her again, "What about you? Is Du Mubai still in your heart? "
She smiled and reached out to take the bowl of medicine.
She used the spoon to gently drip it in the bowl.
She said, "That person is already dead. What's the use of living in my heart?"
Her tone was very calm.
"Looks like we're the same kind of people," Gong Shilin said.
"No, I'm not the same kind of person as you." Li Wenshu's hand stopped. She looked up at him, and a trace of ridicule flashed across her face. She said, "You can love, but you don't choose to love. And I … can't love."
Gong Shilin seemed to be a little confused by these words.
He didn't know what to say either.
Li Wenshu continued, "No matter what, we're already tied together. This is our fate that was preordained a long time ago."
"I'm just afraid that you'll feel wronged."
"There's no such thing as feeling wronged. Perhaps in the future, our children will walk the same path as us."
Gong Shilin suddenly laughed.
It was full of helplessness.
At the doorway.
Li Cheng stood under the eaves with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His shoulder was leaning against the pillar, and he looked back into the room from time to time.
