Chapter 134: Love and Hate Sleep (7) Gifts to the Dead
Long Pei didn't come back until the evening. The sun was setting in the west, and half of the sky seemed to be burned red by fire. The dizzy beam enveloped the entire palace garden, but it couldn't warm it up. There was a deserted and sad atmosphere everywhere.
Gu Mingxi sat next to the coffin, motionless, like a sculpture. Her tears seemed to have been shed in the past few days, and her dry eyes were hollow and numb, leaving only darkness and endless coldness.
This sentence "You will always be my Long Pei's wife." is as ridiculous as you think about it. What he means is that if there is no child, he will not divorce her, and even if she dies, she will be his Long Pei's wife.
Seeing his wife like this all day long, Bai Yan felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but step forward and fill a few pieces of paper for Long Ziqi into the brazier. The firelight shone brightly, and it felt a little warm on his cheeks.
The tip is completely cold.
"Nan Si, does he love you?" She lowered her head, lowered her eyelids, and stared at the flames intently, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
She didn't speak for a long time. Long Pei glanced at her and her daughter thoughtfully, turned and walked towards the stairs. He had to go to the study to deal with many things. After walking a few steps, Gu Mingxi's cold voice came from behind, "——Your Excellency
.”
****************Looking for the dividing line of monthly tickets****************
But that night when he found out that Yi Ruo was pregnant, he didn't even have time to take a bite. The cake was still there, but Yan'er was gone.
Long Pei, do you think I will still believe you now that things have happened?
The night was replaced by day, the morning wind was filled with clarity and coolness, the lights in the hall were turned off, and the sunlight spread through the glass and spread warmth all over the floor.
Ru Bing came over and said earnestly: "Madam, you haven't had a good rest in the past few days. Please take care of yourself even for the sake of my lady. She will be sad to see you like this in the sky."
Long Pei seemed to have been struggling for a long time, his fingers turning pale as he held the spoon. His eyes fell on the cake again, and his mind was filled with images of Yan'er and himself making cakes.
Gu Mingxi placed Yan'er in the coffin again, and his fingers lingered on her cheek. Tears were shining in his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was strange and unpredictable.
Bai Yan's only weakness is his feelings for Nan Si, which is also his biggest fatal point in his life.
Her hair was as dry as a pile of grass and not smooth at all. Gu Mingxi's gentle fingers carefully braided her daughter's hair into beautiful braids.
Her short, thick eyelashes drooped down to cover the pain that flashed across her eyes. She subconsciously avoided looking at her. She held the milk glass with her fingers and took a sip. She clenched her fingers tightly and did not dare to touch the piece of cake.
Long Pei walked to the other side of the coffin and looked at his lifeless daughter. One more glance was a punishment. He clenched his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Mingxi, "Send Yan'er away tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Mingxi still stayed by Yan'er's side, never leaving.
"Madam, the best gift for the dead is to forget, not to remember." He turned his head to look at Gu Mingxi and sighed, "If you act like this, I'm afraid the young lady won't be able to leave without peace of mind."
Is this the punishment and revenge you want to give me?
After putting Yan'er into a beautiful white dress, Gu Mingxi held her in his arms and combed her hair with his own hands, not minding her cold and stiff body at all. Although there was a special device to preserve the body, after such a long time, it was still difficult to
There is a faint smell of decay.
Because I had been kneeling for too long, my blood was not circulating, and my legs were so numb that they were frozen. Every step I took felt like I was walking barefoot on glass shards, and my feet were in pain from the cuts.
That was the happiest afternoon that their father and daughter spent together, a little secret that only belonged to them!
The word "wishes" is like a knife cutting into Long Pei. He promised Yan'er many things, but he seems to have failed to fulfill any of them. There is a cake made by Yan'er in front of him, but he has not eaten it because of other reasons.
Take a sip, Yan'er must have been very sad that night.
Long Pei thought that she just wanted to leave him because of Yan'er's death, so he used this excuse to file for divorce. Without thinking much, he turned and went upstairs.
Although the body can be kept longer, they still have to send Yan'er away, and it is impossible to keep her like this for the rest of her life.
Be his Long Pei's wife forever and watch him and Yi Ruo give birth to an heir. How will the family be reunited happily?
"What do you mean, madam...?" Bai Yan hesitated and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
Everyone thinks that Nan Si is not worthy of them. There may be many people in this world who are worthy of them, but there is no other person besides Nan Si who can make him love so wholeheartedly for ten years.
The bloodless oval face could not hide the tiredness and lack of rest. There were obvious dark circles under the eyes. The whole person looked haggard, as if he would fall down at any time.
Gu Mingxi turned her head without saying a word and never looked at him again. Her eyes facing away from him were full of sarcasm and coldness. The white fingers placed on the coffin tightened more and more, and the joints turned pale.
After cutting the phone, he looked back at Gu Mingxi. Her black and white eyes were filled with cold sarcasm, and the smile on her lips was full of mockery...
Long Pei pushed open the study door and walked to the guardrail of the stairs when he saw this scene. Neither of the two people spoke, and they threw paper into the brazier one after another. The hall was quiet and peaceful, as if all the storms had disappeared.
It's over.
He stopped walking downstairs and turned back to the study.
Long Pei's expression was slightly startled, and he understood the meaning of her words, and stared at her with his gloomy eyes, "Even if Yan'er dies, that day will not appear. You will always be my wife, Long Pei."
According to tradition, Yan'er should be buried in the Long family cemetery, but I thought that if Yan'er could stay with her mother, it might make her feel better. She was coldly red.
She said that for every pain Yan'er suffered she felt those others' pain.
"He is not worthy of you." Gu Mingxi raised his head and looked at him. Bai Yan was handsome, his skin was fair, and his breath was clean. It made people not feel that he was in the big dye vat of politics.
You can see in his eyes that he is sad for Yan'er's death.
Gu Mingxi stared at him intently, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly. Gu Mingxi stared closely at the scars on Yan'er's face, stubborn tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and her bare fingers scratched a layer of skin on the coffin.
Long Pei stopped, turned around and looked at her with dark eyes, loosened his tightly pursed lips, and waited quietly for her words.
He also promised Yan'er that the family would never be separated.
Long Pei walked over without hesitation and sat on a chair. There was a glass of milk and a piece of cake in front of him. He knew this cake. It was the birthday cake he made with Yan'er to celebrate her birthday.
"like."
Divorce, this word will never appear between him and her.
Gu Mingxi acted as if he didn't hear anything and looked back at the cake. Long Pei frowned and squeezed out two words, "Wait for me."
Bai Yan's expression was a little unnatural. He didn't expect that even his wife could see what happened between him and Nan Si! Your Excellency would not take the initiative to tell his wife these things.
Gu Mingxi lowered his eyes again, pursed his dry lips slightly, "Bai Yan, there are some things that you can't stick to. The more you stick to it, the less you can get it. In the end, you may lose everything. You are a man born for love!
"She lives for love and dies for love. She doesn't want Bai Yan to make the same mistakes as herself, becoming blind and blind for such an impossible love.
"Thank you, I will." Gu Mingxi answered him calmly.
Emotions are only clear to onlookers and confused to those in authority; I hope he can wake up soon. The most unbelievable thing in this world is love.
The Mingzhi was almost burned, and Bai Yan was about to get up and leave when Gu Mingxi's sudden voice sounded, "Do you love Nan Si?"
When Long Pei came out of the study room, he saw her hugging Yan'er and kissing Yan'er's forehead. The scene was beautiful and sad, especially her calm expression and the tuft of white hair.
Heart-wrenching.
Bai Yan stood up, bowed, turned and left.
Maybe letting Bai Yan talk to her would make her feel better.
"Madam..." Seeing her like this, Ru Bing called out softly. Seeing her firm look, she sighed helplessly and turned to go upstairs to get her the dress the lady liked.
Just when a small piece of cake was about to reach his lips, his cell phone rang suddenly, as if he suddenly found an excuse to escape. He didn't even look at Gu Mingxi, and quickly stood up to answer the phone, his face instantly gloomy, "What? I'll come right away.
!”
Gu Mingxi pulled up the chair and sat down, looking at him with numb and empty eyes, "Yan'er's biggest wish is to let you take a bite of the cake she made. The cake has been left for a long time and the taste has gone bad, but for Yan'er
You will take a bite and fulfill her wish, right?"
***************
Bai Yan came to see you about matters related to the Presidential Palace and talked at length in the study for two hours. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when he walked out of the study. Everyone had taken a rest, and the crystal chandeliers in the hall were a little deserted and cool.
Gu Mingxi heard the footsteps getting farther and farther, looked up and saw Bai Yan's back disappearing at the door. A trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. Bai Yan was a clean person. Even though he had done many shady things for Long Pei, he
Her heart is still clean, and she has a tenderness that no one else has.
Gu Mingxi's eyes moved from her daughter's body to his body one by one, mechanically. There were no waves in her black and white pupils, no grief, and she spoke very calmly, "You said that day would never happen.
But now Yan'er is dead!"
"Madam, be careful." Bai Yan stood up and helped her walk to the brazier, kneeling on the mat.
Even if Yan'er dies, even if she hates him, he can't let her go.
Bai Yan's expression turned pale under the firelight, and his heart was pounding, or he felt guilty; because Nan Si had never admitted his feelings for him directly, was it because of love, or was he just forced to...
For this reason alone, the word "match" seems extremely thin and insignificant.
Bai Yan didn't say much, he just tacitly threw paper into the brazier opposite her.
She glanced at him and walked directly to the dining table.
Gu Mingxi's calm expression showed no reaction. His black and white pupils swept over him and stayed for a few seconds. Without saying anything, he turned and walked towards the study.
"I have something to take care of. I will definitely come back in the afternoon to send cigarettes with you." Long Pei deliberately avoided looking at the piece of cake and said to her in a solemn voice.
Gu Mingxi and Bai Xi touched Yan'er's cold cheek with her fingers, and said softly, "Yan'er, it's dawn."
"I, I don't know."
Long Pei's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and he swallowed the words when they reached his lips. She couldn't stay immersed in Yan'er's death like this, but she also knew in her heart that Yan'er was too important to her.
Gu Mingxi was not as emotional as before. He looked at Yan'er calmly, without saying a word, as if he had not heard anything. His thin oval face was as pale as white paper. His fingers were always placed next to the cold coffin, and his hair was hanging down.
The long silver hair was exposed, adding a bit of desolation.
Long Pei frowned. He didn't know why he felt that Gu Mingxi was a little weird. There was no disgust or hatred in his eyes. Even when he asked Yan'er to be cremated, she didn't react at all. His probing eyes followed her.
Her back was all the way to the kitchen door, and not long after, she walked out holding a dinner plate.
Long Pei walked up to her, stared at his daughter closely, and said in a low voice, "We will send Yan'er off in the afternoon. The cemetery has been selected, and it will be next to your mother's tombstone."
***************Looking for the dividing line of monthly tickets******************
Bai Yan's body stiffened, as if someone had discovered the deepest secret in his heart, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He suddenly realized that perhaps neither you nor Nan Si understood him as well as Madam.
"Madam, there is no question of whether you are worthy or not, only whether you are willing or not." Bai Yan raised a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.zvxc.
Gu Mingxi's calm expression did not change much. He turned his head to look at Bai Yan, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and without any color, like a person with no desires and no soul.
"Ru Bing, can you help me take down Yan'er's favorite white dress?" Gu Mingxi didn't look at her, but seemed to be saying to her, more like saying to herself, "Yan'er doesn't like yellow ones.
skirt, and I also want to give her a beautiful braid."
Frowning his brows, he whispered softly, "Bai Yan knows what path he is going to take. Thank you, madam, for your concern. Although the lady is gone, there are still many days to come. Madam cannot keep immersed in the sorrow of the past. She should come out of it as soon as possible.
Life will always take a turn for the better.”
"That's not what I'm talking about." Gu Mingxi pursed his lips, and his voice was as calm as a straight line, without any change in amplitude.
It was the first time that I admitted that I loved a man in front of people other than Nan Si and Your Excellency, and I didn't feel ashamed. I looked at Madam with uneasy eyes, and I was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to accept it.
Gu Mingxi and Bai Xi slowly threw the paper into the brazier with their fingers. The firelight dimmed her eyes and could not warm her dead heart.
When he turned around and was about to leave, a cool voice came from behind him, "Is it that difficult for you to take a bite of the cake made by Yan'er?"
