When GongYimo received Xu Yuan's reply, she was put in a difficult position. In the letter, Gong Che wanted to meet her to show that he valued her!
GongYimo touched her face. She was quite confident in her disguise. Forget it. It was a blessing, not a curse. If he recognized her, so be it!
So, she agreed to meet him.
It was the same private room in Wan Hong Restaurant. The same scene made her slightly nervous.
The moment she opened the door, GongYimo felt a strong gaze on her. That gaze was prying, expectant, and many other complicated emotions. She paused and looked over.
Gong Che was the only one sitting at the tea table in the room. Xu Yuan wasn't here, and this made her even more cautious. She hurriedly bowed.
"You must be the Crown Prince of Dai Yu State. You are indeed extraordinary! I am Shi Yue. Greetings, Your Highness. "
Gong Che's gaze was locked on her. He did not look away even after hearing her speak. He only pointed at the table in front of him.
"Please sit."
When he said this, there was an unnoticeable tremor in his voice.
GongYimo felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, but she still sat down. Her posture was very casual. There was a simple aura of someone who had traveled extensively. It made people feel close to her. However, there was no trace of GongYimo in her. She was clearly a man.
Gong Che was disappointed, but he was also filled with a strong sense of indignation as he looked at her again and again.
GongYimo touched her face subconsciously and asked in a very masculine voice, "Why is Your Highness looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Gong Che only looked away when she said this. His eyes dimmed slightly.
GongYimo sighed in her heart. Although more than a year had passed, her Brother Crown Prince had not changed much. He was handsome and gentle.
The only difference was that there was a faint sadness between his brows. It made people want to drive away the sadness in his heart and smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.
"I'm sorry."
Gong Che said in a low voice. There was an imperceptible pain in his voice.
Regardless of whether the person in front of him was GongYimo or not, her refusal to see him, or her refusal to see him with her real face, made his chest hurt and he felt a little breathless.
Why … did he miss her so much?!
"It's alright."
GongYimo grinned and quickly got down to business.
"I heard that Your Highness still has some matters to discuss with this humble one. May I know what they are?"
Gong Che glanced at her and sighed inwardly as he spoke.
"It's about logistics … Sir, once the two countries start trading privately, I wonder if your logistics department is trustworthy?"
GongYimo's heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, "Of course. Do you have any suggestions, Your Highness?"
Gong Che suddenly looked at her and said, "I would like to merge the logistics of the two countries and put one person in charge. This way, we can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. Do you think it's feasible?"
GongYimo was stunned and said hesitantly, "After all, it's two countries. If one fleet is in charge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. After all, is it better to be someone from Dai Yu State or someone from Yuheng State?"
Gong Che heard her and said indifferently, "My subordinates are full of praise for Sir. I'm sure Sir must be very wealthy. Sir can tell us about this. If we want to do this, what should we do?"
Was he throwing the difficult problem to her again?
GongYimo smiled and said, "The people and ships can be split in half by each country. It's just that the person in charge …"
Gong Che suddenly looked at her expectantly.
"What about the person in charge?"
GongYimo blinked and said with a smile, "Since Your Highness has this suggestion, can this humble one recommend the person in charge?"
"You?"
Gong Che's eyes flashed. "You are Yuheng's trusted aide, but not my trusted aide. How can I trust you?"
GongYimo smiled.
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Listen to me."
She personally poured a cup of tea for Gong Che.
"In terms of benefits, Dai Yu State has a large territory and abundant resources. The trade with Dai Yu State has more advantages than disadvantages for Yuheng. Therefore, we will not do anything to break the treaty."
Gong Che just drank his tea and did not say anything.
"Secondly, although this humble one is highly regarded by the Second Prince, I have traveled extensively for many years and consider myself a fair and peaceful person. I have a broad vision and will definitely not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head with a smile and slyly glanced at the unmoved Gong Che as she spoke.
"Of course, the most important thing is that someone told this humble one that she can improve ships and expand the fleet. She also handed this item to me and said that if necessary, I can show it to Your Highness."
As she said this, GongYimo took out an item from her sleeve.
Gong Che took a look and saw that it was a dagger studded with gems!
This is!
He grabbed the dagger excitedly.
This dagger … was originally a gift he wanted to give to Gong Dai when he went to the West Continent. However, he and Mo 'er went on a boat to the lake and … so many things happened. He left in a hurry and the box containing the dagger was left on the boat. He did not expect it to be here.
In other words, this was Mo 'er's idea?
He carefully sized up the smiling and mature man in front of him. Who was he to Mo 'er? Was he her subordinate?
Gong Che held the dagger and said in a slightly anxious tone.
"You said that there is no problem with being the manager, but where is the owner of this dagger? I want to see her! "
GongYimo smiled. "She is not in Dai Yu State. Sorry to disappoint you."
As expected, Gong Che looked disappointed. He muttered to himself for a long time and suddenly asked, "Did she have anything else to say? Other than this! "
Looking at his eager eyes, GongYimo suddenly felt uncomfortable. She sighed.
"She said … if you meet again, will you agree to be brother and sister again?"
She should not have said this, but when she saw his face turn pale, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"Brother and sister?" Gong Che looked at her and then at the dagger. After a long time, he smiled bitterly.
"I will agree to be the manager. However, I also hope that you can pass on a message for me."
GongYimo gestured for him to go ahead. Her movements were flawless.
Gong Che looked at her as if he was looking at someone else through her.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
"Please tell her that it doesn't matter what relationship she wants, as long as … she comes back."
GongYimo was stunned again. She could not tell what she was feeling. After a long time, she came back to her senses and said in a muffled voice.
"I will definitely pass on the message."
After saying this, GongYimo tried to change the topic and talked to him about something else.
During this time, Gong Che kept looking at her with a deep and probing gaze. It made her feel uncomfortable. Soon, she got up to leave.
"Will Sir be leaving tonight?"
Before leaving, Gong Che raised his teacup and asked.
GongYimo nodded. "This matter cannot be delayed. I will leave tonight."
Gong Che did not say anything. He just stood up and smiled.
"In that case, I will send you off. Please."
