Qin Sheng flipped through the window with ease, not daring to alert the bodyguards.
Where was Uncle? She could not find Gong Mochen in the upper rooms, so she ran downstairs to look in the hot spring room.
Hot air swirled around the entire room. The room was very large, with a hot spring pool in the middle. There were artificial hills planted with green bamboo and plantains. The glass roof allowed sunlight to pass through. The cobblestone path was inlaid in the middle of the marble floor.
In the hot spring pool, Qin Sheng found her man.
Her eyes lit up as she walked in, wanting to give the man a surprise.
The man sitting in the hot spring pool had perfect muscle curves on his chest and arms.
The man frowned slightly. His well-defined face made it hard for people to take their eyes off him. He was like a drug that made Qin Sheng addicted, making her want to have him even if she couldn't quit!
"UNCLE!" She jumped into the hot spring pool and hugged the man.
Gong Mochen opened his eyes and forcefully threw Qin Sheng into the water.
The stiff marble hurt Qin Sheng. "Ah! Uncle, it hurts!"
Gong Mochen walked out of the hot spring and grabbed Qin Sheng. "Who told you to come back here? Does it really hurt?"
He put Qin Sheng on the recliner next to him, afraid that she would be injured.
He had been so mad that he hadn't come back for a few days. Qin Sheng had clearly been hungry to see him during those few days.
"My whole body hurts! Uncle, it hurts!" Qin Sheng cried from the pain.
The man sighed. This little girl was always causing him trouble, and now she was injured. He was injured too, he realised...
"Uncle, your leg is bleeding!" Qin Sheng saw that there was blood on her uncle's leg. The blood trailed from the hot spring pool all the way to the recliner.
She looked at the blood and suddenly screamed, "AAAHH!"
Gong Mochen grabbed the girl's head with his big hand, pressed her head into his arms, and carried her away.
He carried the girl back to his bedroom and put her on the bed. He wanted to scold her for causing yet more trouble, but when he saw that she was trembling in fear, he decided not to.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle is here," he murmured and hugged Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng nestled in the man's arms and hugged his neck tightly. "Monster, I saw a monster!"
She didn't know what it was, but she was sure she'd seen a black thing lying on the side of the hot spring pool, sucking up the blood on the ground.
Gong Mochen frowned. "There's no monster. The pool hasn't been cleaned yet. There's water grass growing in it. You're mistaken."
Water Grass... Huh? Qin Sheng looked up at the man. Was there black water grass?
"Uncle, why is your leg bleeding?"
"I was cut by the marble when I went ashore just now," Gong Mochen explained, "I'm going to take a shower, but don't let your imagination run wild with water grass."
He carried Qin Sheng into the bathroom, put her in the bathtub, and went back to the bedroom to treat his wound.
After a while, Qin Sheng finally calmed down. Was It really just water grass?
She stood up and patted herself down. "Uncle, I really don't think it was water grass! My leg hurts, put some red flower oil on it for me."
She smirked at the man.
Gong Mochen's temples were covered in sweat.
He took a deep breath. The girl's leg was covered in bruises.
He used safflower oil to rub into the bruises.
"Ah, it hurts! Uncle, be gentle..."
"Bear with it. If you don't rub the bruises, it will hurt even more tomorrow!" Gong Mochen said.
"It hurts too much! I don't want you to treat the bruises anymore!" Qin Sheng said.
"Be good! When you get into university, we will get married, okay?" Gong Mochen said, and his heart suddenly ached.
Hopefully he would still be alive by then... Regardless of whether he was still alive or not, he thought that he had already arranged Qin Sheng's life for her. Perhaps she had already forgotten what he had said?
"Really?" Qin Sheng looked at the man in surprise. "Uncle, you're not allowed to lie to me! When I get into university, we will really get married?"
Gong Mochen smoothed the girl's messy hair with his big hands. "When has uncle ever lied to you? But you have to get into the top university in the world! Do you understand?"
If she got into the top university in the world, he could send her abroad and leave everything here.
"I understand! I will definitely get in! Uncle, I love you!" Qin Sheng felt like she was going to heaven. The man had finally agreed to marry her!
Gong Mochen's heart was a mess. Would she still love him at that time? Perhaps she would hate him?
Whether it was love or hate, he thought that as long as she was happy, everything else wasn't important to him.
