More than ten minutes later, Gong Hao heaved a sigh and pulled up his pants.
He glanced at Fu Xi, who was still rinsing her mouth and went forward to hold her hand, his eyes filled with satisfaction and affection.
“Madam, you’re amazing.”
Fu Xi’s face heated up. She pushed his hand away and rolled her eyes at him. “You’re not serious. Hurry up and sit back down. We should go home.”
If she had not been worried that there would be too many people in the hospital who might gossip about her, she wouldn’t have given him a bite.
Knowing that she was shy, Gong Hao smiled and stopped teasing her. He returned to his wheelchair.
Opening the consultation room door, Fu Xi looked at the doctor who was waiting not far away from the door before retracting her clear gaze. It seemed like he did not know anything about what happened with Xu Rou.
She and Gong Hao had to be even more careful from now on.
At Peninsular Coffee, Gong Ming regarded Xu Rou coldly and angrily slapped her.”You’ve failed?”
Xu Rou staggered backward and her back hit the corner of the cafe table. She gasped in pain again.Her face paled as she looked towards Gong Ming.
“Get lost and don’t let me see you again.” Gong Ming cursed, having his subordinates chase Xu Rou away while he sat down with a headache.
Could it be that Gong Hao didn’t like her anymore? He had to think of another way to separate them completely.
An idea came to him and Gong Ming’s eyes lit up. He beckoned Zhang Shan over and whispered a few words into his ear. Zhang Shan immediately nodded heavily.
“Second Master, don’t worry.”
He then turned around and quickly left. Gong Ming took a sip of coffee and smiled leisurely.
Gong Hao, just you wait.
Not long after, Zhang Shan brought a locked sandalwood box to Gong Ming.
“Second Master, we found this box behind Master Gong’s bookshelf according to your instructions.”
Gong Ming took it, looked at the lock that was securing it and dropped it onto the floor.
The lock was broken in an instant. He opened the box and took out a yellow letter.
This was a love letter personally written by Gong Hao.
Before Gong Hao got married, he and Gong Ming had both lived in the Gong Family’s old residence. There was one time when Gong Ming had accidentally barged into his room and happened to see him frantically hiding this letter.
Later on, Gong Ming became interested and stole the letter while he was away. It was a love letter. For some reason, Gong Hao never gave it to its intended recipient and even locked it in a sandalwood box.
The love letter was with him now.
“You can deny it to the person’s face but you can’t deny this letter, right?” Gong Ming laughed coldly as he folded the love letter.
“Second Master, look.” Zhang Shan opened the box and picked up the small items scattered on the floor.
There was a pink hair clip, a bow, a delicate lady’s wristwatch, and a brooch that could only be found on a dress.
“Tsk tsk, they’re all girls’ stuff.”
Gong Ming flipped through everything before returning them to the box. The designs of these things were all very old. He really didn’t expect Gong Hao to be such a sentimental person.
“Have Chen Liang give all of these to Fu Xi.” Gong Ming held his chin, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He was waiting to see them fall out over the evidence.
Chen Liang took the box and sent it to Fu Xi with a melancholic expression.
“Young Madam, Second Master found this in First Master’s room. He said it’s for you.”
Give it to her?
Fu Xi took the box in surprise. She opened it carefully and was stunned.
There was a hair clip, watch, and her once beloved brooch.
One familiar item after another stirred her memories of her youth.
