Gong Mochen ran outside the hot spring room, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire courtyard. In the shadows, a shadow flashed past, and he chased after the figure who ran through the small courtyard of the villa.
A soft sigh rang out among the flowers, and Qin Sheng stood up straight from behind them.
Her heart was thumping wildly, her hand covering the spot where her it was in her chest. Her gaze fell on the direction where Gong Mochen had disappeared. Who was that shadow?
She was glad that a shadow had suddenly appeared. Otherwise, she would have been caught by Gong Mochen.
She immediately turned around and returned to the villa. It was best for her to return to her room as soon as possible.
In the corridor, she saw Ye Wei raising her hand to open her bedroom door.
"Ye Wei, you're looking for me? It's impolite to enter without knocking, isn't it? Are we that close?" she asked coldly.
Ye Wei turned to look at Qin Sheng, and sized her up. "You weren't in your room. Where did you go just now?"
Gong Mochen chased after Qin Sheng, and she came out of the greenhouse. Ye Wei thought that if someone was eavesdropping on their conversation, it was very likely that the person was Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng pursed her lips and said, "I went to my uncle's room just now. However, he wasn't in the room."
She knew that Gong Mochen wasn't in the room... She'd just seen him chasing after someone.
Ye Wei lowered her gaze. She really couldn't find any loopholes in Qin Sheng's answer. Gong Mochen wasn't in the room.
"Why did you go to President Gong?" she questioned.
Qin Sheng's lips curled up slyly. "Ye Wei, don't you think your question is very strange? I'm at my house, looking for my man. What do you think I'm doing? What right do you have to ask me?"
Ye Wei's heart was stifled by the question. Her hands clenched into fists. Qin Sheng was correct... What right did she have asking her that?
"I... I'm just asking to make conversation."
Qin Sheng walked towards Ye Wei. "I've already told you what you asked me. Now, tell me, what are you doing in my room?"
She crossed her arms over her chest, her tone brash and abrupt.
Ye Wei lips formed into a straight line. "I'm just here to see you. Well, I haven't found President Gong either, so I came to ask you. Have you seen him?" she stammered, finally finding a reasonable explanation for herself.
"Looking for my uncle? Why are you looking for my uncle?" Qin Sheng continued to ask.
Ye Wei couldn't catch her breath. Qin Sheng asked the exact same question. How was she going to answer that?
"Yes, I'm looking for CEO Gong. Yes," Ye Wei replied
She was trying to find a reason, but she couldn't find one.
"Ye Wei, have you told Mochen about my physical condition?" Han Qing walked over from behind Qin Sheng.
"I'm looking for CEO Gong, but I can't find him. And no, I haven't told him yet." Ye Wei's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Han Qing gratefully and finally found a reason why she was looking for Gong Mochen.
Qin Sheng turned to Han Qing. "Well, he's not in my room. I'm going back to my room."
She strode into her room. Of course, she knew that Ye Wei had come to look for her because she suspected that she was eavesdropping.
She didn't need to listen to those fabricated reasons anymore.
She closed the door, took out her phone, and searched for news about Yun Yang on the internet.
Yun Yang was her uncle, and her mother was Yun Xi.
However, she couldn't find many news articles about him. There were only a few bits and pieces. Some of the news articles were about the Yun family's overseas companies, and some of them mentioned how her uncle had died from ineffective treatment.
Of course, he didn't die of an illness. The cause of Yun Yang's death was murder.
Such a reason was given in order to stabilize the company. After all, the murder of the boss would cause panic in the entire company.
No matter how much she investigated, she found her uncle to be a legitimate businessman. There was absolutely no bad news about him...
She frowned deeply. Then, why did Ye Wei say that her uncle deserved to die?
When her grandfather had handed the company over to her, he had explained everything to her. The company's management was very formal.
Was there something that her grandfather did not know?
She wish that Li Ang was here. It would certainly make this much easier. She could let him investigate.
On the avenue outside the villa, Gong Mochen chased after the figure.
"Stop! Who allowed you to come to my villa?" Gong Mochen shouted.
The black figure turned around. He was not wearing a black robe, but a suit like Gong Mochen's. From the body shape, the two people were exactly the same, but one person wore a silver mask on his face.
"I came to take a look. By the way, I want to ask you, how are things going?" Ta Luosi said.
"Ask me? I don't need to answer to you. Remember, you're not allowed to enter this place! Go back to the mountain!" Gong Mochen reprimanded.
The two of them had the same figure and wore the same clothes. His bodyguard would mistake Ta Luosi for him, so it was easy for Ta Luosi to enter the villa.
Ta luosi sneered and said, "Don't be angry. Even if I went in, I wouldn't touch your woman. After all, you're still here! I visited your mother. I heard that she likes Ye Wei very much and wants to make her her daughter-in-law!"
Gong Mochen pursed his lips tightly and his words came out stiffly from the corner of his lips, "I won't marry Ye Wei! I'll explain it to my mother! You can go!"
He turned around and returned to the villa.
Ta Luosi didn't dare to take another step forward. He stood where he was and looked at Gong Mochen with a smile. No one knew what he was smiling about...
***
The next morning, Qin Sheng went downstairs to eat breakfast. When she saw Gong Mochen and Han Qing sitting in the dining room, she politely greeted Han Qing and ignored Gong Mochen.
Gong Mochen slipped his hand under the tablecloth and pinched the little woman's leg as punishment. "Did you sleep well?"
Qin Sheng ate the porridge in her bowl. "Very well. Is there only porridge?"
She was a little underwhelmed. There was only porridge and a few dishes on the table. The problem was that she was a meat eater!
Ye Wei walked out of the kitchen with a large plate of fried beef triangles in her hand.
"The beef triangles are ready. Fortunately, I'm not too late!"
Qin Sheng picked one up without hesitation. The fried golden skin was crisp, and the filling of the beef curry was inside. The fragrance of onions and curry instantly spread out from her small bite.
Qin Sheng had to admit that Ye Wei was really good at cooking!
Gong Mochen looked at the little woman who was eating happily and picked another small plate. "Eat slowly. Be careful, it's hot!"
Qin Sheng couldn't help but want to eat big mouthfuls. Her appetite was sometimes good and sometimes bad. She actually didn't like to eat curry very much. She didn't know why her tastes had changed, but now she liked it very much.
Ye Wei looked at the man who served Qin Sheng the vegetables and frowned slightly. "CEO Gong, why aren't you eating? Didn't you say you wanted to eat this? I made it for you on purpose."
Gong Mochen frowned. "When did I tell you I wanted to eat this? I've always liked to eat light food. I don't eat this kind of fried food."
Ye Wei looked at the man in surprise. "Didn't you say that when you came to my room two nights ago? You said you wanted to eat this and asked me to make it for you. But yesterday morning, I had a slight fever because of the burn, so I couldn't make it."
She clearly remembered that Gong Mochen had come to her room on the night she was burned...
