Chapter 218: The Calm Before the Storm
Ye Ningbai slept in the house for most of the day, but in fact, she was awake most of the time, she just didn't want to do anything, just looked at the ceiling with her eyes open.
"Miss Ye, I boiled some porridge, can you drink some?" The babysitter knocked on the door, but didn't come in.
Ye Ningbai turned over and said to the door: "Thank you, I don't want to drink." ”
"Miss Ye, your body is ......" The nanny was a little unbearable, and didn't want to give up just like that.
Ye Ningbai interrupted her neatly and said, "Thank you, I want to rest." ”
Although the content of the words was extremely polite, the rejection in the tone was also obvious, so the nanny shook her head and sighed and went downstairs.
"How? Is she still refusing to eat? As soon as the nanny got downstairs, she heard Gong Ruixuan ask anxiously.
She shook her head: "I still won't eat it." ”
"Tsk! These adults are the trouble! Gong Ruixuan grabbed a handful of hair irritably, and said, "Forget it, we can't help it if she doesn't want to eat it, wait for Daddy to come back." ”
"Yes, young master." The nanny nodded in agreement, brought the porridge to the kitchen, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and heated it up if she wanted to eat it later.
"Little master, you also go to rest, I'll wait here for the young master to come back." At this time, the housekeeper said to Gong Ruixuan.
Gong Ruixuan is still a child after all, it is late at night, he can't stay up anymore, yawns, and says, "That's okay, I'll go upstairs first, and when Daddy comes back, Uncle Housekeeper, you remember to tell him about it." ”
"Yes, young master." The butler nodded in agreement.
Gong Ruixuan was relieved, so he went upstairs, and muttered in his mouth as he walked: "Adults just think too much, so there will be so many troubles, it's better to be a child." ”
The housekeeper heard his words vaguely, couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he sighed for a moment, and then looked at the nanny, and said, "You can also go and rest, I'll just wait here." ”
The housekeeper still has a lot of weight in the Red Leaf Pavilion, and the nanny obeyed his orders without saying a word, and obediently went back to her room, so the entire living room was instantaneous, and only the housekeeper was left.
He sat alone on the sofa, pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, while unconsciously thinking about the matter between Gong Qiyu and Ye Ningbai, thinking about it, he suddenly thought of the young lady of the Song family, that is, Gong Ruixuan's biological mother.
Speaking of which, that young lady is really the daughter of a wealthy family, dignified and dignified, her temperament and appearance are superior, and she is infatuated with her own young master, if she is still alive, the two should also achieve good stories, but it's a pity that she lost her fragrance at a young age.
Thinking about it like this, the housekeeper thought of Gong Rui again, and felt that this child was really a little pitiful, as the future heir of the Gong family, on the surface, he looked at the infinite scenery and was loved by thousands of people, but in fact he was extremely curved, although he had the love of Gong Qixi, a father, but in the end he couldn't make up for the lack of maternal love.
The housekeeper didn't think about this, sighed softly in his heart, and then thought about it, fortunately there is Ye Ningbai now, it seems that Gong Ruixuan still likes her very much, and Ye Ningbai's treatment of Gong Ruixuan, he also looked at it in his eyes, and understood in his heart that Ye Ningbai really treated Gong Ruixuan as his own child.
Although he didn't know how Miss Song's biological mother would get along with Gong Ruixuan if she was still there, but thinking about it, it was nothing more than that, and it might not be worse than her biological mother.
No worse than what a biological mother did!
The butler's eyes opened suddenly, and he jumped up from the sofa suddenly, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, but he couldn't say what he had found.
He only knew that recalling the bits and pieces of the past when Ye Ningbai and Gong Ruixuan got along, sometimes he really had an illusion, as if these two were biological mother and son...... Moreover, after thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that Ye Ningbai and Gong Ruixuan looked a little similar, especially the eyes......
The housekeeper's pupils constricted, and a strange thought came out of his heart, but it seemed to be looking at the flowers through the gauze, and he couldn't see it really, and only by lifting the gauze could he see the final truth. He hesitated to deal with this strange feeling.
"Smack!" At this moment, the light in the living room was suddenly turned on.
The housekeeper was stunned, turned his head to look at the door, and found that Shigong Qiyu had returned, he quickly came back to his senses, put those nonsensical thoughts behind, got up and said, "Young master, you are back." ”
Gong Qiyu snorted and asked him, "What about her?" Still haven't eaten? ”
The housekeeper said: "Miss Ye is resting upstairs and has not eaten, the nanny has boiled porridge, why don't I go and heat it up, can you serve it?" ”
"Hmm." Gong Qiyu nodded.
The housekeeper went to the kitchen to get busy, and the microwave heated the porridge quickly, and after a while, he came out and handed the porridge to Gong Qixi.
Gong Qihui took the bowl of porridge to the second floor and knocked on Ye Ningbai's door, Ye Ningbai did not respond, Gong Qihui waited patiently for a while, and knocked again, Ye Ningbai still did not respond, but this time Gong Qihui heard a slight movement from inside, which seemed to be the sound of her turning over.
Gong Qiyu thought for a while, simply went back to his room, took the spare key and opened the door, put the porridge on the bedside table after entering, and then looked at Ye Ningbai.
Ye Ningbai's eyes were tightly closed, he shrunk into a ball and fell asleep, Gong Qiyu looked at her in silence for a long time, and saw her slightly trembling eyelashes, so he reached out to cover her eyes, felt the trembling of the skin under the palm, and said in a low voice: "I'll put the porridge on the bedside table for you, and I'll get up and drink it later, my body is important." ”
Ye Ningbai's body trembled unconsciously, but she still didn't open her eyes, and Gong Qiyu also forced her, and after sitting for a while, she went out.
As soon as he left, Ye Ningbai sat up from the bed, looked at the door that had been reclosed, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he turned his attention to the bowl of porridge on the bedside table, and was silent for a while, but finally took it and ate it in one bite.
In the silent night, she ate and ate, tears came down without warning, and flowed into her mouth, salty, with a bitter taste, but she didn't plan to wipe it, just mechanically scooped the porridge with a spoon and sent it to her mouth. When the bowl of porridge was finished, she put the bowl on the bedside table and went back to sleep.
In the next room, Gong Qiyu leaned against the wall and listened for a while, and after hearing no movement, he turned around and went to the balcony, looked at the bright lights outside and smoked a cigarette all night, the lights went on and off, casting a shadow on his face, but he could still see that the contours of his face were perfect like gods.
He stood motionless on the balcony all night, and it was not until the morning that he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then drove out.
When Ye Ningbai woke up, the housekeeper told her the news tremblingly, but this time, Ye Ningbai seemed to be used to it, and she didn't react much, and even in the surprised eyes of the housekeeper Gong Ruixuan, she ate two pieces of toast, a sandwich, two fried eggs, and drank a glass of milk.
The housekeeper's brows couldn't help but tremble, for fear that she would turn her grief and anger into appetite, so she kept eating, but simply, Ye Ningbai stopped eating after drinking the milk, said goodbye to everyone, and then changed her clothes and went to the office.
In the living room, the housekeeper and Gong Ruixuan stared wide-eyed, obviously Ye Ningbai had finally returned to normal, but why did they always feel that something was wrong? It's like ...... Calm before the storm......
"Alas!" The two men, one big and one small, looked at each other and sighed in unison, and then the housekeeper said, "Forget it, let's take a step at a time, individuals have personal blessings." ”
Gong Ruixuan nodded, and agreed, and then the two of them sat down and started to eat breakfast, and after eating, they went their separate ways.
At this time, Ye Ningbai had also arrived at the office, but for a whole day, she couldn't keep her spirits, anyone could see that she had something in her heart, and a few colleagues also went over to inquire about it, but Ye Ningbai said that she was fine, and her colleagues couldn't, so she could only say a few words of concern, and then returned to her seat.
Ye Ningbai just breathed a sigh of relief and took a cup to drink, but suddenly heard Shao Mosu's assistant come out and speak, saying that Shao Mosu asked her to go to his office.
Ye Ningbai rubbed her face in the mirror to make her look better, and then knocked on the door and entered, "Senior brother, are you looking for me?" ”
Shao Mosu stared at her for half a salary, but he didn't speak, which made Ye Ningbai's eyes look a little weak.
At this time, Shao Mosu laughed suddenly, and looked at her playfully: "Ye Ningbai, Ye Ningbai, do you still know that your face is not good-looking, you have to rub your face before coming in?" ”
Ye Ningbai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his small movements to be seen by him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and muttered: "Senior brother......"
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you." Shao Mosu sneered and said, "Say, what happened to you and that one in your family?" ”
"Actually, it's nothing......" Ye Ningbai was a little unaccustomed to putting his private affairs out and talking about it.
However, Shao Mosu didn't give her a chance to find a reason, and directly interrupted her, saying, "Are you still sloppy with me?" If it weren't for the young master of the palace family, how could you become such a lost soul? Don't tell me it's because of anything else, I'm telling you, I don't believe it at all! ”
"Senior brother, you are still as smart as ever." Ye Ningbai smiled helplessly, and knew that Shao Mosu cared about her, so she put down her face and told him everything she had done during this period of time.
After hearing this, Shao Mosu groaned and said, "You two are seriously lacking in communication, it's not okay to hide everything in your hearts and not say anything, so you get off work early and go back to have a good chat with the young master of the palace family." ”
Ye Ning was embarrassed: "No need, it's just a private matter......"
Shao Mosu simply interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly: "Private matters determine work efficiency, I don't want to see you like this during work hours." ”
He said so, Ye Ningbai could only agree, packed up her things and left, she didn't know where to go at this time, so she simply went back to the Red Leaf Pavilion.
Of course, Ye Ningbai didn't think that Gong Qihui would be there at this time, in the past, he was still outside, and today should be no exception.
Ye Ningbai thought so, returned to the Red Leaf Pavilion, and when she just walked to the door of the living room, she heard the coquettish laughter of a young woman from inside. Ye Ningbai was stunned, and couldn't help but pause, and then she heard Gong Qixi's gentle voice coming: "Okay, what you said is right, okay?" ”
