Gong Mochen, who was standing outside the bathroom, waited for Qin Sheng to finish her wash.
"Come and scrub my back!" Qin Sheng's hand patted the water in the bathtub as she shouted.
"Coming..." Gong Mochen had no choice but to walk into the bathroom and scrub Qin Sheng's back.
He walked into the bathroom and carried out the task of rubbing the little woman's back. "It's done."
Qin Sheng hated the speed of the man. Couldn't he have been slower?
"Uncle, I'll scrub your back too," she stood up and said.
Gong mochen quickly wrapped Qin Sheng in a towel and carried her out of the bathroom. "I don't need you to. I know how to do it myself."
He carried the little woman back to the bedroom and put her on the bed.
Gong Mochen's room would always contain Qin Sheng's clothes, and Qin Sheng's wardrobe would always have his clothes inside it. No matter if the two of them separated, they were still intertwined with each other.
He took a set of clothes and threw them to Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng put on her clothes and rolled out of the quilt. She lay on the bed and kicked her legs. She looked at Gong Mochen quietly.
"Uncle, did you and Li Ang know each other before all this happened?" she suddenly asked. She didn't think so at first, but the feeling she got today was very strong.
She been thinking about it and felt that they definitely knew each other!
"It's hard not to know the big nobles in Europe. I'm leaving now. I'll lock the door for you when I go out, and wake you up tomorrow." Gong Mochen put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
He didn't dare to trust Qin Sheng with locking the door. It was only after he locked the door that he felt at ease. No one would be able to enter her bedroom again.
Qin Sheng was speechless. She asked him if he knew them, not heard of them. Of course, everyone had heard of the big nobles in Europe, but knowing them was different. Knowing them wasn't like hearing about them. They really knew each other. They knew each other, had dealings, or were friends. She was certain.
Gong Mochen hadn't answered her question directly and was clearly deliberately hiding it from her.
But, she was too tired now and didn't have the energy to think about it. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Gong Mochen walked towards his room. His eyes were as cold as the sea. He knew that he couldn't touch her, but he still couldn't control his love for her. He kept shortening the distance between the two of them.
The thing that made his heart ache the most was that the more he made her love him, the more he would likely hurt her. His hands were clenched into fists.
"It took you so long to come out... You don't need to take so long to coax the child to sleep, do you?"
At the end of the corridor lurked an evildoer.
Gong Mochen walked over. "And you can only watch."
"Gong Mochen, let me remind you. Have you forgotten about your ailment?" Li Ang said faintly. He was the person who understood Gong Mochen's illness the most.
"Even if I face death, I will take away all the people who are dangerous to Qin Sheng," Gong Mochen snapped.
"Don't be so absolute. Not everything in this world can be controlled by you, even if you are Gong Mochen. The poison in your body is the perfect example of that. Let's make a deal. I will give you the antidote. You will do as I say and give Qin Sheng to me." Li Ang leaned against the wall. He looked at the man in front of him as if he were a scoundrel.
"No way! Don't even think about it!" Gong Mochen said without hesitation.
Li Ang spread his hands helplessly. "Even if I can't get what I want now, I have plenty of time to wait for you to die. Since the result is bleak, I advise you to think clearly. What do you want?"
The corner of his lips curled into a victorious smile. He knew that he could live longer than Gong Mochen. As long as he could endure until Gong Mochen died, what could Gong Mochen do to him?
