"You go ahead and eat. I've already eaten. I'm going to take a shower first."
Huo Yigeng left after saying a few words. Gong Qiu looked at his back blankly. She felt a little lonely and sad no matter how she looked at it. She seemed to be able to see the responsibilities he was carrying, weighing him down as if he could hardly stand up straight.
The waist is the same.
It was not until bedtime that Huo Yigang watched Gong Qiu close his eyes, as if he had really fallen asleep, then slowly got up, got out of the bed, quietly closed the door, and then turned into the study.
Gong Qiu opened her eyes slowly at the sound of closing the door. She had not slept at all. She had always been in a light sleep. If she had too many things on her mind, she would not be able to sleep at all, let alone now.
She simply couldn't sleep peacefully, even if Huo Yigang held her, it was difficult. In the past, as long as she lay in his arms, she would sleep as well as if she had taken sleeping pills, but today it was less effective.
Looking out the window, it was pitch black. The side she was facing was the city center. There were still a few bright lights on the high-rise buildings outside, which came out through the glass, but in such a dark night, they seemed a bit small.
It was unable to warm people's hearts. Gong Qiu clutched the quilt tightly and refused to let go, just like she was holding a life preserver.
He didn't want to say it, and she didn't dare to ask, so she had no choice but to maintain a long distance, unable to touch her in any way. It had nothing to do with the relationship between them, but it still inevitably affected their relationship.
For three days in a row, Huo Yigeng didn't go home. It was said that he had been staying in the company. Gong Qiu always guarded the somewhat deserted home every day, and there were still bodyguards standing at the door.
When she was sleeping, they would guard the door and not disturb her life. Gong Qiu knew that she would report this to Huo Yicheng in the end, so she did not refuse.
There were no calls or text messages from Huo Yicheng, and it seemed as if there would never be any concern or contact again. She didn't dare to disturb him. He was so busy that he didn't even come home. How busy he was.
The bodyguard seems to be the communication tool between them. He can learn about her situation, but she knows nothing.
On the fifth day, Huo Yicheng took an early morning flight to Germany, and Gong Qiu was hesitating whether to return to the Gong family temporarily. Her father called her and asked her to come back and stay first, as he was worried that she would be alone at home.
After thinking for a while, Gong Qiuyi finally agreed. His father also knew that it was probably Huo Yigang who did it.
She only brought a few sets of clothes back with her. When she arrived at the parking lot and was getting ready to get in the car, she saw people already sitting in the car, smiling and waving to her, with a kind smile on her face.
She was a little surprised and froze outside the door. She was frightened and didn't know whether to get in the car or not.
"Why are you hanging around? Get in the car quickly. I have just finished breakfast and am preparing to go back to the mansion. I know you are going back to the Gong family, so I will give you a ride on the way." Yang Yijin waved his hand and asked Gong Qiuyi to come in quickly.
Gong Qiu turned around and got into the car. As soon as she got in, Yang Yijin held her hand.
"Yiheng called home several times and said that during the time he was gone, he would take good care of you, as if he was afraid that someone would bully you." Yang Yijin held Gong Qiuyi's hand tightly, and his face remained calm.
With a smile on his face, his tone was as relaxed as chatting about family matters.
"Is he really gone?"
"Well, it's just about eight o'clock, so it'll be fine. He always handles things very well, so don't worry."
"Grandma, did something happen to him?" Gong Qiu asked, her heart hanging in the air, and she knew what the answer was even before she spoke.
The people around her seemed to be threatened by Huo Yicheng and could not tell her a word, so that she still could not understand why Huo Yicheng was so anxious to go abroad, what had made her so troubled recently, and why she had been unable to sleep at night.
.
"I can't tell you for the time being, but you just need to believe that he will handle the matter well and come back to you."
"Grandma, you know how worried I am about him. I can't sleep almost every night. I don't even know a little bit of news about him. He hasn't looked for me." Gong Qiu almost collapsed and didn't want to complain.
Yang Yijin exploded and lowered his voice.
"What I know is that he has his own reasons for not letting you know."
"..."
Gong Qiuyi didn't say anything. She was holding a breath in her heart. She wanted to scold Huo Yiheng. Why did he leave so simply and leave her alone? He forced her to go back without even a reason.
Go to your own home.
When the car stopped at the door of Gong's house, Yang Yijin only said to take good care of herself, then watched Gong Qiuyi enter the house, and then the car slowly left.
As soon as Gong Qiu entered the door, the servant came up to take her luggage. She put on her slippers. Looking at the pair of Huo Yicheng's house slippers next to her slippers, her heart sank. The other person was gone, but there was always something related to him.
something appears.
The unexpected appearance caused her heart, which had finally calmed down, to stir up trouble again.
"Are you back? Have you had breakfast?" Gong Deyi was reading the newspaper. When he saw that she was back, he stood up and asked with concern.
"I've eaten." Gong Qiu smiled reluctantly. Gong Deyi saw how reluctant she was, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. He knew how sad she was.
"Chunxiao said she would come tonight so that you four sisters can have a good time together."
"Third sister is back!"
As soon as Gong Deyi finished speaking, a cheerful female voice came out, with a hint of excitement. Gong Qiu knew it was Gong Dongli as soon as he heard it, and came down from the stairs excitedly, followed by Gong Xiazhi.
"Ah, why have you lost weight in the past few days? No matter how much you eat, you don't gain weight. It makes me very jealous!" Gong Dongli held Gong Qiuyi's arm and said with a smile.
The atmosphere became better because of Gong Dongli's appearance. Gong Deyi smiled happily. Fortunately, Gong Dongli came in time.
"Then you should eat less..."
"..." Of course I knew this. Gong Dongli rolled his eyes in disgrace.
Gong Deyi went upstairs, leaving the three of them in the living room. When Gong Chunxiao comes later, the house will definitely be so noisy that the roof will be lifted.
Gong Qiu had been sitting on the sofa all day, watching Gong Dongli and Gong Xiazhi shopping, but she was not in the mood at all. Her mobile phone had been lying quietly on the coffee table for a long time.
I thought it was shut down.
The person she was thinking about seemed to have suddenly cut off all contact with her and would not give her any news.
Gong Dongli and Gong Xiazhi glanced at each other, and they could only shake their heads helplessly at Gong Qiu's situation.
Until Gong Chunxiao came in the evening, Gong Qiuyi said she was tired and wanted to sleep, so she went back to her room early. She was lying on the bed alone, holding her computer and checking the news, trying hard to find news related to Huo Yicheng.
.
However, apart from the news about him at the airport this morning, there was nothing else, and if he really blocked the news, no one would be able to get it.
Today he was reported like this. Gong Qiu understood that he knew that he would investigate, so he took advantage of the opportunity.
His recent appearance rate is extremely high, and there is news almost every three days. He is not as mysterious as before. No matter how others take pictures, there is no way that he will be released in the end.
The three people standing at the top of the stairs sighed helplessly and looked at the closed door, especially Gong Xiazhi. She was the second sister, but she couldn't do anything now.
"Has Huo Yiheng looked for you?" Gong Xiazhi asked Gong Chunxiao. Gong Chunxiao nodded. It seemed that he had really looked for everyone in the Gong family.
"He is a little anxious to go abroad." Gong Dongli interjected.
"Jiang Yanyu said that this matter is a bit difficult to solve." Gong Chunxiao leaned against the wall. She was not much better and had a temper with Jiang Yanyu.
She asked Jiang Yanyu about something. It was estimated that Jiang Yanyu was still busy with many things, so he didn't have time to talk to her. His reply was a bit slow, and she became impatient, and finally lost her temper at Jiang Yanyu.
Unfortunately, no matter how nice Jiang Yanyu said and how many times she apologized, she just couldn't calm down.
"I have sent Gong Qiu Yidu back temporarily. Do you think the matter will be solved easily?" Gong Dongli took Gong Xiazhi's arm with a heavy expression on his face.
"Qiu Yi has been very unhappy recently, and I don't know how to comfort her." Gong Chunxiao was the only one who was most worried about this.
"Let's lay the floor tonight to promote our relationship..." Gong Dongli suggested excitedly.
"OK!"
With such a decision, the three of them opened the door and rushed in regardless of what Gong Qiu said. They were holding pillows in their hands, and the servants took quilts and cushions behind their backs.
Gong Qiu looked at the three of them with strange eyes. She was not in the mood at all and looked at them intently.
"Don't look at us like that. Don't you remember a few years ago, we stayed together like this every night?" Gong Chunxiao sat on the bed, hugging her neck, acting like I was the boss.
"Remember..." Gong Qiu was very moved in her heart. She saw the three of them anxious about herself and worried about herself.
"Qiu Yi, you have changed. You would never do this for someone before. It seems that Huo Yicheng's position in your mind is getting higher and higher." Gong Xiazhi said with a sigh.
As if she had been reminded, Gong Qiu slowly brought her thoughts back. If Gong Xiazhi hadn't said this, she had almost forgotten that she had been calm and composed in those days when Huo Yixing was on a business trip.
Now like a frantic kitten, she is even scared and extremely worried. It turns out that all this has changed quietly, and it is a change that can never go back.
It is often said that Huo Yigang cut off his own escape route. Rather, it is because he cares too much about him. The more he goes deeper into his heart, that's why he becomes so worried.
Worrying that he will leave her, worrying that she will lose him, worrying about everything he has, these should have been the manifestations of Huo Yigang alone in the past, but now they seem to have changed.
She has become the person she was before, and he has become the person she was before. She used to walk simply, and now he walks coolly.
Finally, she could understand how suffocating he felt. She felt so sad all the time now, and couldn't do anything to be happy. Everyone around her was so happy, but she was hurt alone.
Others can't understand her. She just wants to be alone and solve the problem alone. However, the road ahead is long. Can she really solve it alone?
"She's right. You've changed a lot now. This is the first time I've seen you like this." Gong Chunxiao touched Gong Qiuyi's arm, but she couldn't understand.
"You have always been the most comfortable among us and the least affected by the outside world. How much do you like him?" Gong Xiazhi couldn't help but ask. After finishing speaking, it seemed that he had been holding back for a long time and finally
Release it.
"Like it?" Gong Qiu murmured to himself.
Isn't the word "like" not suitable for the two of them, or the word seems very clean between the two of them. She doesn't think she likes him, so there is only...
"No." Gong Qiuyi panicked, thinking of the worst outcome for her, and she couldn't admit it.
"How about you go over and look for him? I know which hotel he is staying in."
"No, he doesn't like it." Gong Qiu shook her head in disappointment, lowered her head and played with the quilt, feeling depressed.
"That's better than waiting endlessly, right?"
"I'm fine. He will probably be back soon."
No matter how many things happened, if he didn't show up for a day, she would know that she had an internal injury that could not be cured. Waiting endlessly was the only thing she could do at the moment, and it was also her only life-saving straw.
If she cares about someone, that person is no longer by her side, and the oxygen becomes a little less, so she admits it.
Three days later, Gong Qiu tried to go to work. This time, no one stopped her, except that bodyguards were constantly lining up beside her, and the driver was waiting downstairs in her company every day.
It seems that she is a little freer, but to her, this is also one of Huo Yicheng's methods. What exactly is he doing? Gong Qiuyi has never been able to figure out this question.
He didn't even call. Gong Qiuyi gradually wanted to know the news as soon as possible from the beginning, but now she is very calm. The phone often runs out of battery, and she is no longer in an emergency state.
The Gong family would not tell her about the news about Huo Yicheng. Gong Qiu gradually understood that this was not a business matter but Huo Yicheng's private matter.
On the weekend night, Gong Qiu Yi was lying on the chaise longue with a book in her arms and reading. After she finished reading the last bit, she planned to go to bed. She had been reading this book since the first day she came here, waiting for her to finish it.
It was over, and there was still no news at all about Huo Yiqing.
"Dong dong..." The knock on the door broke the silence in the room, and Gong Qiu looked up at the door.
Seeing her father Gong Deyi walking in from the door, holding a bowl of something unknown in his hand with a smile on his face, which looked very heart-warming, Gong Qiuyi smiled and closed his hands.
book.
"Why did you come up? Just ask me to come down..."
"This is the red bean soup just made in the kitchen. It's good for girls to drink more." Gong Deyi sat on the wooden chair next to him and put the red bean soup on the table.
