Chapter 4 Attend your own funeral
Ten minutes ago.
Gu Miao was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room.
How could Gu Xu accidentally discover that she was imprisoned by Jiang Qingshi?
She sat on the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and thought hard, not noticing the door lock behind her turning.
Someone came in.
When she came to her senses, Jiang Qingshi had already walked in front of her.
The tall figure fell down, like a dark cloud filled with heavy rain, and it was full of oppression.
Gu Miao was startled, her pupils tightened violently, "Brother Qingshi?"
The man lowered his eyes, his eyes dark.
Like a statue of a god enshrined in a temple, he lowered his eyebrows and stared deeply at the devout believers kneeling at his feet.
Gu Miao quickly explained: "Ah, I was about to fall asleep, but my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I got up..."
She stole a glance at the numerical value above the opponent's head.
Okay, okay, no fluctuations.
Jiang Qingshi calmly stretched out his hand to her, "Get up, the ground is cold."
Gu Miao quickly stretched out her hand and used her strength to stand up.
"Didn't you go to meet the guests? Why did you come back so soon? Has the guest left?"
"Yeah."
ah? Gu Miao was going crazy, wasn't it? Gu Xu, didn't even have any doubts and just left like that?
It is indeed a deep brotherhood.
My heart is so tired. Gu Miao tried hard to keep smiling, damn! You shouldn't count on these male protagonists.
Forget it, just go to sleep when something happens and think of a solution tomorrow.
She turned around without any hesitation, but was stopped by the voice behind her, "Aren't you curious who it is?"
Gu Miao turned back with an innocent look in her eyes.
"Is he from your company?"
"It's Gu Xu."
Gu Miao's heart was still, of course she knew! But he still had to show a surprised expression on his face, "Did my elder brother find me?"
"No."
Looking at a place downstairs, Jiang Qingshi stepped forward and asked her: "Do you want it?"
"What?"
"Go back with him."
"I..." She was slightly startled, realizing that this was a trap.
Before she could finish her words, the man opposite suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pressed her against the window.
The white nightgown was pressed into folds, and the messy skirt clung tightly to the man's trousers. Black and white intertwined wantonly in the sunlight.
Jiang Qingshi hugged her from behind, restrained her waist with one hand, and reached down to grasp her wrist with the other hand and rubbed it carefully, feeling the tender and smooth skin under his fingertips.
His chin rested on her thin shoulder, and his eyes traced her cheek inch by inch like a bone scraper.
Gu Miao was like a frightened deer, running away in panic and looking out the window inadvertently.
Jiang Qingshi's house was originally designed by a Feng Shui master. Looking out from the height of the backyard, you can have a panoramic view of the intricately arranged courtyard like a formation.
The million-dollar Podocarpus tree in the courtyard has a unique shape and is particularly eye-catching.
She still remembered that the last time she came here, she was so angry with Jiang Qingshi that she threatened to chop down his precious tree.
But at this time, Gu Miao didn't have time to appreciate it carefully. There were figures moving in the front yard. The distance was not so close that humans and animals could not be distinguished.
That is——
Gu Xu!
The other party was bending down to get into the car, then seemed to notice her presence, turned around and raised his head.
Even though she knew that the other party would not see her from a long distance away, Gu Miao's body still reacted subconsciously and froze in place.
She opened her lips as if she wanted to shout. Then he stopped abruptly after noticing the hot and heavy breathing next to his ears.
The two of them were so close, even a moment's reaction could not escape Jiang Qingshi's eyes.
Gu Miao pretended not to see anything and looked away indifferently.
But Jiang Qingshi didn't give her this chance. He clamped his jaw on her chin, forcing her to turn her head and look at Gu Xu again.
"Did you see him?"
"..." She didn't dare to say anything.
Jiang Qingshi showed no sign of anger, and was even afraid that she could not see clearly, so he helped her identify in a calm tone:
"Look, Miaomiao, he is looking at you too."
The ambiguous breath made her ears shrink back. This was completely a subconscious avoidance, a natural reaction of the body.
Jiang Qingshi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and before she could speak, he kissed her earlobe directly. Feeling her body trembling in his arms, "Do you want to call him back?"
"Or I open the window and let him see..."
"No, don't!" Gu Miao was full of desire for survival, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to go with my elder brother!"
"Brother Qingshi... I just want to be by your side."
——
The car drove away downstairs and Gu Miao was put back on the bed.
When she saw Jiang Qingshi getting on the bed and lying down next to her, Gu Miao thought that he would continue to "torture" her, and her body tensed instantly when he held her in his arms.
As if tired, Jiang Qingshi closed his eyes and narrated in a cold voice: "Gu Xu said that the Gu family will hold a funeral for you the day after tomorrow."
"Huh?"
If I remember correctly, she has been pregnant for two months, right?
The Gu family hasn't organized a funeral for her yet?
How much I hate her...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Gu Xu invited me to the scene."
"Huh??"
Why was he telling her this? He was probably testing her again.
"You come with me."
A tone that leaves no room for criticism.
"Ah???"
Gu Miao's pupils trembled.
No, buddy, are you okay? Listen, is this still human talk?
Attend your own funeral?
who?
She pointed at herself, "Me?"
"Yeah."
After receiving the response, Gu Miao fell silent.
She asked the system: "Is he sick?"
[I have reminded the host before that he is seriously ill. 】
"Isn't he really saying something sarcastic? Logically speaking, shouldn't he not let me go out?"
[He really wants to take you there. Probably because of my conscience, I want you to see me for the last time. 】
"I am a great kind man."
"But do you believe this?"
[What a reasonable explanation. 】
"..."
"Will he be angry if I don't go?"
【uncertain. Don't try to test a madman's mind. 】
[So the host should agree. After all, ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to experience life experiences such as attending one’s own funeral. 】
"..."
"Thank you. I didn't really want to experience it."
On Saturday morning, Gu Miao got up early and started dressing up.
She sat in front of the makeup mirror and fell asleep, letting the stylist ravage her.
"Mr. Jiang said he would put on heavy makeup for you. Do you have a style you like?"
Gu Miao: "Whatever, it's best to draw people and animals alike."
"..."
Gu Miao guessed what Jiang Qingshi was thinking. If she put on heavy eye makeup and put on a mask, no one would recognize her.
"Then what kind of activities are you going to attend with Mr. Jiang? A private party?"
"A party of the dead?" Gu Miao thought for a moment and agreed, "It's indeed quite a death party."
The stylist couldn't help but wonder where she was from and how she spoke with an accent. What a big girl?
"Do you like any of these dresses?"
"It's not easy to wear these, isn't it?" Gu Miao woke up from her drowsiness as she looked at those flashy haute couture sets.
The stylist asked what was wrong.
Gu Miao rubbed her chin, "Hiss, these outfits don't look like they are going to a funeral... but instead they look like they are going to a graveyard to dance."
The brackets are still her own grave.
