Xin Yi had come over to check on her mommy because she couldn't take a nap. For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions and started crying. However, she didn't expect her mommy to wake up and encounter such a difficult problem.
"Gu Xin Yi!" Wan Qianqian, who was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, opened her mouth again. Every word was filled with anger, and it was even clearer in the slightly quiet room.
Xin Yi, who had been standing by the bedside, was startled. Her small body trembled violently because of Wan Qianqian's anger, and the tears hanging on her eyelashes also fell because of her trembling.
This scene fell into Wan Qianqian's eyes, and her heart also ached. This was the first time she had spoken to a child in such an angry tone.
Xin Yi, who was frightened, hung her head down tightly. She bit her lower lip slightly, showing all sorts of grievances. She muffled out a sentence from her throat, "Daddy, he's gone."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but the room was very quiet, so those few words fell into Wan Qianqian's ears. At that moment, she finally put down the big stone in her heart. She should be glad that she didn't get the news of Gu Tanfeng's death from Xin Yi.
In the next second, she became nervous again. Why did a person disappear? She had just woken up, and her brain had to receive such a large amount of information. This made it hard for her to digest, and there was a slight pain in her temples.
The pain made Wan Qianqian reach out her hand and gently rub her temples. After the pain subsided, she asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"I don't know. Grandma said that Daddy is gone." Xin Yi carefully glanced at Wan Qianqian out of the corner of her eye. She quietly took a small step back, looking a little frightened.
Her small movements were so obvious that Wan Qianqian knew that she had scared the child this time. Her restless heart gradually grew a little guilty, and an apologetic expression gradually appeared on her pale face.
Just as Wan Qianqian was about to open her mouth to apologize to Xin Yi, Xin Yi's soft voice sounded again. "Mommy, you've been asleep for three months. At that time, you and Daddy were sent back by Brother Changjun's men, but Daddy disappeared the next day. I don't know where Daddy is now."
When she reached the latter part of her voice, she sounded like she was about to cry. Her clear eyes were once again covered with a thin layer of mist, and moisture accumulated in them little by little.
As Xin Yi's words rang out, the memories of falling into the cave that day began to surface. It seemed that Gu Tanfeng had sent a rescue signal to Xu Changjun and the others before he fainted. That was why they were not trapped there and died.
"Xin Yi, what are you doing here instead of taking an afternoon nap?" The room door had been left open all this time, and Lu Yunxue's figure had appeared out of nowhere. Her face was slightly downcast, and one could hear the reproach in her suppressed voice.
Like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, Xin Yi quickly hid beside her mommy. The pitiful expression on her face had long disappeared, and anger blossomed on her face. Xin Yi's delicate chin was slightly raised, and she used her nostrils to greet Lu Yunxue, expressing her dissatisfaction.
She even reached out and held Wan Qianqian's hand firmly, replying like a stubborn child, "Can't I chat with mommy?"
Wan Qianqian, who was lying on the bed, could clearly feel the tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two of them, and the smell of gunpowder gradually spread in the air. Based on the little information she had gleaned from Xin Yi's mouth, Wan Qianqian could roughly guess why Xin Yi had treated Lu Yunxue in such a manner.
"Xin Yi, go back to your room and rest first." Wan Qianqian, whose thoughts had been on Gu Tanfeng, pursed her lips into a gentle smile. She struggled slightly from Xin Yi's pink little hands, and patted the back of her hand as she spoke softly.
The quick-witted Xin Yi quickly understood the meaning behind Wan Qianqian's words. Her face, which was filled with anger, quickly collapsed. It was as if the word 'unwillingness' was engraved on her face. That expression made it hard for anyone to reject her.
However, Wan Qianqian still hardened her heart and ignored the little yearning on her face. Her determination did not show any signs of wavering, and it extinguished the flickering hope in Xin Yi's eyes little by little.
"Then, mommy, take good care of yourself." Xin Yi finally nodded helplessly, leaving behind these words reluctantly.
With that collapsed face, she left the room, looking back every few steps. After Xin Yi's figure disappeared at the door, Wan Qianqian's gaze accurately fell on Lu Yunxue's face. It just so happened that Lu Yunxue had been staring at her, and there was a hint of anger flashing in the depths of her eyes.
At the same time, when Wan Qianqian looked at Lu Yunxue, her expression was not much better. Her entire face was cold, and she bravely met Lu Yunxue's eyes, not losing in terms of momentum.
When the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, the air seemed to be breeding sparks, burning bit by bit, as if the bomb was about to explode.
As smart as Wan Qianqian was, in the next second, she had already guessed that Lu Yunxue's attitude had a great deal to do with Gu Tanfeng. Moreover, according to Xin Yi, Gu Tanfeng was hidden by Lu Yunxue the next day.
The more she explored, the more bold speculations gradually emerged, causing a faint layer of cold sweat to appear all over her body. She desperately suppressed her active thoughts and focused all her attention on Lu Yunxue. "Mom, what do you mean?"
"Qianqian, it seems that your wedding with Tan Feng has not been completed." As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Yunxue's words were all kinds of sarcasm, and the anger between her eyebrows was even more obvious, as if it had evoked some unpleasant memories.
The sarcastic words also brought back the memory of that time to Wan Qianqian, and the depression in her heart became a little stronger. Lu Yunxue was really angry. She did not hesitate to tear open the scar on her heart, causing her to sink into deep guilt and pain, and at the same time, clearly reminding her of the relationship between her and Gu Tanfeng.
As if there was a fish bone stuck in her throat, all the words Wan Qianqian wanted to say got stuck, and there was a kind of stinging feeling. Unconsciously, the topic was led by Lu Yunxue, and she was suppressed under her feet.
"I put you here just because you are the mother of two children." Lu Yunxue seemed to feel that the words just now had not hit her hard enough, so she added another sentence, clearly drawing a dividing line between Wan Qianqian and the Gu family.
"Where is Tan Feng?" Wan Qianqian endured the bone-biting pain, and moved her two arms that were gradually regaining strength to support the bed. Her whole body leaned against the headboard with difficulty, and her voice trembled a little as she asked.
Even if Lu Yunxue's words made her extremely embarrassed, she still wanted to know where Gu Tanfeng was! The pair of dark and bright eyes were filled with stubbornness, and her gaze was firmly locked in the direction where Lu Yunxue was, and her attitude was unusually firm.
When she heard the name Tan Feng from Wan Qianqian's mouth, the anger on Lu Yunxue's face was even more obvious. Her steady footsteps also moved in the direction of Wan Qianqian, taking two steps at a time to the bed. The distance between the two suddenly closed to about two meters, allowing Wan Qianqian to see the anger on Lu Yunxue's face even more clearly.
The slightly turbid eyes were a little bloodshot, and under her anger and agitation, her face muscles could be vaguely seen a little trembling. She pointed a finger at Wan Qianqian's face, and the other hand covered her heart, and said bitterly, "You still have the nerve to mention Tan Feng!"
"You almost killed my son! You still have the nerve to mention him! "After taking a deep breath, Lu Yunxue continued to roar in a trembling and angry tone.
The quiet room constantly echoed with Lu Yunxue's voice, and the resentful accusation almost sent Wan Qianqian to the eighteenth level of hell. Ever since she woke up, her heart hadn't been at ease. She was anxious to know about Gu Tanfeng, but also very afraid to find out.
In particular, Lu Yunxue's words kept repeating in Wan Qianqian's mind. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. Her eyes gradually lost focus as she looked forward, and her entire person was in a state of mental trance.
When she gradually came back to her senses, Lu Yunxue's figure was no longer in the room, and the sun was gradually setting. Her gaze shifted to the window, and her thoughts unknowingly drifted far away.
A week later.
"Bang!" The heavy sound of the door slamming almost shook the entire Gu residence. A figure stood dejectedly in front of the heavy, tightly shut door, and her bright eyes were filled with sadness.
The housekeeper standing at the side looked at Wan Qianqian with a hesitant expression, and took a small step forward with a deep sigh. Then, he took a deep step forward, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Young Madam, don't blame Madam. She was just too worried about Young Master, so she …"
"It's okay, I know." And Wan Qianqian's lowered head slowly raised again. The little bit of disappointment had long been wiped away, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
After responding to the housekeeper, Wan Qianqian walked in the opposite direction with her head down. This wasn't the first time Lu Yunxue had given her the cold shoulder. But this week, she had asked everyone in the Gu residence, and no one knew where Gu Tanfeng was.
Helpless, Wan Qianqian could only look for Lu Yunxue again and again, but Lu Yunxue's mouth was airtight! She didn't reveal a single word to her, and gradually, a sense of defeat grew in her heart.
"Young Madam, a guest is looking for you." Wan Qianqian walked towards her room in a daze. However, just as she reached the door of her room, a servant was waiting there. When she saw her, she hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Miss Wan Qianqian.
