Chapter 30: The Shadow is Suspicious

Lu Qingqing didn't show up this night, but the Cheng family's always powerful third aunt was too out of the limelight. Some days I don't see it, and the third aunt looks more handsome. Although Gong Mengshu was sneering at Gong Mengshu in the previous sentence, he said for a while, "Good horses don't eat back grass", and suddenly said that "wild pheasants are not as good as phoenixes", but after being poured a few glasses of water and wine, she was powdered with spring, like a butterfly shuttling among the guests, her complexion is quite good, as if she is the protagonist tonight.

Gong Mengshu always has a headache for these red tapes, she hasn't experienced such a lively scene for a long time, and she is still a little unaccustomed to it for a while. Cheng Ruikai dragged her to meet a few distinguished guests, and seeing that Gong Mengshu was always absent, he no longer forced her to socialize, and accepted the ridicule and ridicule of the guests alone.

The happiest person this night was Mrs. Cheng, who folded her hands from time to time, as if thanking God, after all, she returned Gong Mengshu to the Cheng family, and also gave a gift by the way.

In the dead of night, the guests are in high spirits. Gong Mengshu's weak heavy body couldn't withstand the toss, so he left the stage early to rest. She was supported by the maid and slowly walked back to the room where she was, and the maid wanted to stay and serve, but was sent away by Gong Mengshu.

She sat alone in the room, rubbing her aching waist with her hand, and let out a long breath. She lowered her head, not noticing that a slender figure suddenly appeared on the carved window lattice of the wing, peeking into the room secretly.

Gong Meng breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his lazy waist before standing up. As soon as she turned around, she spotted a shadow outside the window on the pink and white wall of the room. Her heart trembled, and she turned her head sharply, just in time to meet the eyes in the crack in the window!

Gong Mengshu couldn't help but scream in a low voice "Ah", and then scolded: "Who is hiding outside the window?!"

But there was a rustling sound outside the window, and the figure soon slipped away, and the outside was quiet again. Gong Mengshu bit her lower lip and barely calmed herself, then walked to the closed door and slammed the door open to see what was going on.

Outside the house, it was drizzling and pitch black, and there was no trace of anyone at all. Gong Mengshu was shocked by this, how dare she rest alone in the house, so she went out of the room, shouted the girl's name repeatedly, and wanted to return to the banquet with the maid. But after calling for a long time, he saw no one coming.

But at this moment, Gong Mengshu saw a person coming from the corner of the corridor from a distance, looking very similar to Cheng Ruikai in appearance and figure, she couldn't help shouting: "Ruikai......"

But the man shouldn't, until he got closer, he found that the person who came was not Cheng Ruikai, but the eldest young master Cheng Ruitai.

Cheng Ruitai approached Gong Mengshu, and there was a strong delight in his voice: "Mengshu...... You're back?"

"Yes, young master. Gong Mengshu felt that Cheng Ruitai's appearance was a little abrupt, but she politely replied to him: "Aren't you resting in the house?" She heard from the people in Cheng's Mansion that the eldest young master had been contaminated with wind and cold recently, so he had been resting in the house.

"I'm not sick, I'm just thinking about things in the house," Cheng Ruitai hurriedly explained, "My body is bones, I'm not sick at all!"

Gong Mengshu raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Ruitai, but found that he was getting thinner and thinner, so he smiled briefly and said, "Anyway, the eldest young master pays more attention to his body, you better go back to the room to rest early, lest the eldest young grandmother be anxious——"

But the more Gong Mengshu persuaded him, the more stubborn Cheng Ruitai became, he pulled Gong Mengshu's sleeve and refused to let go. Gong Mengshu was a little surprised by the courteous young master's almost scoundrel behavior, and while laughing and laughing, he temporarily diluted the fear and worry of seeing the dark shadow.

At this moment, another person hurriedly came from the other end of the corridor, and when he saw Gong Mengshu and Cheng Ruitai entangled together, his handsome face suddenly turned cold in the dim light, and he coughed lightly. Hearing this, Gong Mengshu hurriedly pulled back his sleeve from Cheng Ruitai's hand, turned around, and saw Cheng Ruikai looking at them with a gloomy face.

Seeing Cheng Ruikai's cold eyes, Gong Mengshu sighed in his heart, and wanted to explain something, but Cheng Ruikai had already strode forward, grabbed her shoulder, but looked at Cheng Ruitai, and said: "Big brother, I didn't see your figure at the dinner, I thought you were unwell and resting in the house, but I saw you here - what's the matter, are you still sick?"

"Oh, it's fine. It's just boring, so just go out for a walk. Cheng Ruitai hurriedly replied. I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but I could feel that Cheng Ruitai was still a little cramped.

"It's late at night, big brother, please go back to the room to rest," Cheng Ruikai said, "Do you want me to let someone help you go back?"

"No need, I can go by myself!" Cheng Ruitai declined Cheng Ruikai's arrangement, and glanced at Gong Mengshu fixedly, then turned around and walked slowly.

Cheng Ruikai looked at Cheng Ruitai's figure, turned his head and pulled Gong Mengshu, who wanted to go back to the room, and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable? Why did you run outside? How long have you been chatting with your eldest brother?"

Gong Mengshu heard the meaning of unkindness from Cheng Ruikai's words, she didn't say anything, shook off Cheng Ruikai's hand, turned around and left. Cheng Ruikai followed, and perseveringly followed Gong Mengshu's footsteps in the direction of the room.

Gong Mengshu entered the house and wanted to close the door with his backhand, but Cheng Ruikai hurriedly squeezed in and said, "Why do you want to shut me out?"

"I want to rest," Gong Mengshu raised his eyes to look at Cheng Ruikai.

"Then I'll accompany you," Cheng Ruikai hurriedly said.

"I'm not used to sleeping with others," Gong Mengshu blurted out, and only then did he feel indecent when he said it, and his pink face suddenly turned red.

"I'm no one else, I'm your rightful husband!" Cheng Ruikai didn't listen to Gong Mengshu's excuses, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

He didn't let go of the empty cup, under the light, there was a strange light in his handsome eyes, he stared at her and said slowly: "Tonight you are already my rightful wife, so you can't escape anymore, Mengshu, I want to be with you for the rest of my life, so naturally I have to sleep together every night." ”

Gong Mengshu listened to Cheng Ruikai's words calmly, and turned her head to fiddle with the tea sets on a few cases, but the delicate red earlobes revealed her anxiety and struggle.

"Mengshu," Cheng Ruikai stood up and walked behind Gong Mengshu, trapping her firmly in the crook of his arm, and whispered beside her sideburns: "Mengshu, we will be together for the rest of our lives, with our children, will you say okay?"

Gong Mengshu bowed his head and was silent.

In the haze of light and shadow, the shadows of the two people who quietly embraced each other seemed to be stacked into a shadow, which seemed extremely intimate.
