"I … I don't know … Madam didn't mention it." Mother Liu could feel her teeth chattering as she answered.
Fortunately, Gu Hecheng didn't intend to probe further. He sneered and said, "It seems that she has done too many bad things. That's why she did such a boring thing."
Mother Liu wanted to say something, but Gu Hecheng had already turned and went upstairs.
Mother Liu finally let out a long sigh of relief. She almost thought that she couldn't hide what had happened to Little Master today.
The hands of the clock showed 180 degrees. It was six o 'clock in the evening. Gu Hecheng glanced at the time. His heart felt empty as he sized up the room that Shen Qianqian had lived in for five years.
In the past, Shen Qianqian had waited bitterly for him in this room. This was the first time he had waited for Shen Qianqian.
Gu Hecheng slowly got up. His gaze swept across the wardrobe and cupboards. Finally, he walked to the front of the dressing table.
The decorations and items in the room had traces of Shen Qianqian's life.
Gu Hecheng picked up a box in front of the dressing table and opened it. There were a few pieces of jewelry inside. He gently pinched the box and lifted it up. Suddenly, he saw a few exquisitely wrapped envelopes underneath.
These were …
Gu Hecheng was stunned. He picked up the envelopes. The seals were intact. They hadn't been touched at all.
How could this be? Did this woman not touch the cards that he had given her for five years?
Gu Hecheng quickly tore open the envelopes as though he couldn't believe it.
Gu Hecheng's hands fell down. His gaze landed on the divorce agreement that he had just brought back. An inexplicable sense of melancholy lingered in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't see Shen Qianqian clearly anymore.
The ancient temple was faintly discernible under the shadow of a few strong ginkgo trees.
Shen Qianqian played with Xiao Kong for the whole day. They had dinner early in the temple. When Shen Qianqian picked up the bowl and chopsticks, she suddenly thought of Gu Hecheng.
Shen Qianqian's heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen from the clouds into the ground. She put down her chopsticks with a sad look in her eyes.
Last time, Gu Hecheng had cut off the electricity and water in his parents' villa when they returned home late from the temple. If it weren't for that, his parents wouldn't have died in an accident while out shopping.
In order not to let Xiao Kong find out that her eyes were red, Shen Qianqian lowered her head and tried her best to hold back her tears.
"Xiao Kong, it's time for me to leave." Seeing that Xiao Kong had finished his meal, Shen Qianqian hugged Xiao Kong reluctantly and said, "Mom will definitely come to see you again."
Shen Qianqian hugged Xiao Kong and shook him gently. She kissed his little head heavily.
"Mom will take Xiao Kong away soon. Wait for Mom, okay?"
"Okay." Xiao Kong's childish voice pierced Shen Qianqian's heart. "Xiao Kong will always be obedient and wait for Mom here. If Mom doesn't come on time, it must be because of something. Xiao Kong won't be angry. Xiao Kong will always wait for you."
Shen Qianqian looked at Xiao Kong, who obviously didn't feel safe but still pretended to be strong and sensible. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. They poured out like a flood from a broken dam.
"Mom, don't cry. Did Xiao Kong say something wrong? Xiao Kong won't say anything. Xiao Kong …" Xiao Kong said while wiping Shen Qianqian's tears with his chubby little hands.
"No, Xiao Kong didn't say anything wrong. Mom loves you." Shen Qianqian pulled Xiao Kong into her arms. She closed her eyes with heartache. Her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Xiao Kong, three months. Mom will come and take you away in three months at most.
The night wind blew into the car. Shen Qianqian sat in the back seat of the taxi and looked out of the window. She slowly gathered strength in her heart and her gaze became more and more determined.
Her heart, which had been shattered because of Gu Hecheng, seemed to be glued together again because of Xiao Kong. It was more tenacious and stronger than before.
Shen Qianqian got out of the car in front of the villa. She looked up and saw that the villa was brightly lit. It was as bright as day.
Shen Qianqian took a look at the time. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Since she had given up on Gu Hecheng and had no more desires, she decided to try her best not to provoke him during this period of time in order to leave him as soon as possible.
In the living room, Mother Liu was pacing back and forth uneasily. When she saw that Shen Qianqian had returned, she immediately grabbed her hand and secretly pulled her to a corner.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qianqian lowered her voice and looked at Mother Liu in confusion.
Mother Liu gestured for her to keep quiet. Then she glanced at the room upstairs and told her that Gu Hecheng had asked her about her whereabouts last night.
Shen Qianqian understood. She thanked Mother Liu and hurried upstairs.
She put her fair fingers on the door handle and opened the door with a little force.
Gu Hecheng raised his head. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the divorce agreement and found a random place to hide it.
Shen Qianqian looked up and saw Gu Hecheng sitting upright in the chair. She pursed her lips and walked over to him.
"I'm back." Shen Qianqian's cherry lips moved slightly. She did not say anything and looked at Gu Hecheng calmly. Gu Hecheng continued to sit sideways. Shen Qianqian found it strange that he did not want to leave.
Could it be that since Lin Jinya was not here, Gu Hecheng was not going to leave?
After a moment of silence, Shen Qianqian felt a little uneasy. "Erm... I would like to rest. If there's nothing else..."
"I'm hungry. Cook for me!" Gu Hecheng suddenly stood up and interrupted Shen Qianqian.
Gu Hecheng looked at Shen Qianqian with his deep, unfathomable eyes. After he finished speaking, he walked out with a cold expression.
Cook? Shen Qianqian was a little confused.
Was he asking her to cook? Wasn't there Mother Liu at home?
However, before Shen Qianqian could turn around, she heard Gu Hecheng's stern voice. "Don't you understand? Did I ask you to cook? Isn't it your duty as a wife if you can't even do this well? "
Duty? Shen Qianqian turned around, but Gu Hecheng had already disappeared.
Shen Qianqian sneered mockingly. What did he mean by duty as a wife?
Without love, who would be willing to cook for another person unconditionally? Gu Hecheng thought too highly of himself.
Forget it.
Since she was going to leave this place soon, Shen Qianqian felt that there was no need to be stubborn and get into an unnecessary conflict with Gu Hecheng.
"Sir... Madam?" Mother Liu, who had packed up and was about to go to bed, looked at them in confusion when she saw Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian coming down one after another.
"Mother Liu, make something to eat." Shen Qianqian gave Mother Liu a look. Mother Liu immediately understood and hurried to the kitchen.
"Stop right there." Gu Hecheng's cold voice almost froze Mother Liu. "Mother Liu, go and rest."
"Shen Qianqian, I asked you to cook. Do you not understand or are you deliberately playing dumb?"
Gu Hecheng's sharp gaze made Shen Qianqian uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and nodded at Mother Liu. The two of them went in and out. Shen Qianqian entered the kitchen.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
