In the morning, Long Pei focused on the matter of 'wanting her'. As a result, he rushed to the office for a meeting before even having breakfast. When he left, Gu Mingxi was still sleeping.
At noon, Rubing woke her up and told her that Miss Yi was coming to visit her and that she needed to invite Miss Yiruo to have lunch with her.
Gu Mingxi propped up her sore body to take a shower and change her clothes. When she walked slowly to the living room, she saw Yi Ruo's elegant tea.
"Madam." Yi Ruo stood up and bowed, "I should have come to visit you a long time ago. It's just that when I had dinner with you earlier, he asked me to visit the orphans. I was away for a few days and didn't come to see you in time. I'm sorry."
Did they have dinner together? When?
Gu Mingxi asked her to sit down, "It's just a minor injury and nothing serious. Don't worry too much."
Yi Ruo smiled brightly and said, "Madam, you have done so much for the people, and your injury really worries the people."
"Sorry." Gu Mingxi smiled lightly and changed the subject, "Let's have lunch together, Ru Bing has already prepared lunch."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
When the two stood up, Yi Ruo's eyes inadvertently swept across her collar, revealing the looming kiss mark in the gap, which was so sultry that her delicate facial features instantly became gloomy, and her steps stopped.
Gu Mingxi turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Yi Ruo smiled and shook her head, keeping up with her. All that flashed in her mind were the kiss marks on Gu Mingxi's body...
A stabbing pain in the bottom of my heart.
Your Mightiness......
The lunch was very quiet, not even the sound of the clinking of knives and forks. Yiruo finished her lunch, exchanged some polite greetings, stood up and prepared to leave.
When Gu Mingxi was about to take a lunch break, Yi Ruo left and came back again, with a solemn expression and tears in her eyes...
"What's wrong?"
"I lost an earring." Yiruo's anxious eyes kept searching in the living room, her eyes getting redder and redder.
"Earrings?" If it were an ordinary earring, would she be so anxious?
Gu Mingxi asked Ru Bing to search with the servants, and she also helped search in the restaurant. She found a purple diamond earring under Yi Ruo's seat.
"Miss Yi, is this earring?"
Yi Ruo turned around and saw the earrings, her brows filled with joy. She hurried over and snatched the earrings back. She moved so quickly that she didn't notice that the hook of the earrings cut Gu Mingxi's finger. Her focus was entirely on the earrings.
"That's it, luckily I found it." Yi Ruo took the earring and put it to her lips and kissed it, her face full of joy and excitement.
Such a nervous earring... Gu Mingxi lowered his hand and put it behind his back. The other hand tightly squeezed the wound that was bleeding. There was something invisible like a shallow wound on the skin of his hand. .
"Now that I found the earrings, I won't disturb Madam. Goodbye." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he turned around and left with satisfaction.
"Madam..." Ru Bing stood aside and saw that Gu Mingxi looked not right, so she called softly.
Gu Mingxi came back to his senses and chuckled: "It's okay."
*******
Long Pei didn't have time to come back for dinner in the evening. After she and Yan'er had dinner, the little girl was a little unhappy because she hadn't been with Yan'er for too long, so she stayed in her room at night until the little guy was coaxed to sleep happily. She didn't know it I felt like I was falling asleep next to her.
While half asleep and half awake, she felt someone picking her up. She struggled to open her eyes. The soft outline of the warm light made her startled.
"You're back."
Long Pei put her on the bed in the bedroom, brushed the hair covering her eyes with his fingers, and said in a low and hoarse voice with a trace of displeasure: "Why are you sleeping in Yan'er's room?" #&b$
