Chapter 230 The rose he raised with his own hands
Gu Xu got up and turned on the bedside lamp.
Gu Miao sat on the bedside.
Despite the dim light, he could still see her flushed cheeks.
His eyes wandered over her face, but he did not give up the idea of giving her medicine.
He unscrewed the ointment with one hand and took out a cotton swab. "When I left in the morning, I applied the ointment to you once. If you apply it again, it won't hurt so much tomorrow."
He didn't seem to think there was anything unspeakable about it.
We have done so many intimate things, there is no need to be so external.
But Gu Miao felt that this was different.
"I... don't feel much pain either."
"Even if it doesn't hurt, you still have to rub it, otherwise the marks will stay for a long time. Or do you think Miaomiao likes this pattern?"
The man stretched out his hand to hold the frame and smiled harmlessly: "If that's the case, I don't mind if it stays on you for a few more days."
"..."
Gu Miao hugged the quilt and stopped talking.
Beside the bed, the man waved to her. He patted his legs gently and said, "Come here and lie down."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Miao said: "That can only be applied as medicine."
"Otherwise?" Her words were met with a chuckle.
Fortunately, it's not ridicule, but more like pampering.
Gu Miao curled her lips and stepped forward on her knees. When she was still one step away from him, she was wrapped in his long arms and hugged her.
The man held her on his lap and thoughtfully took a pillow for her to hug.
Gu Miao lay down and couldn't see his face from this angle.
Just right, to avoid some uncontrollable impulses when looking at each other.
"Have you gone out with Yuesong today?"
"Ang."
The ointment is cool and has a minty fragrance.
The moment they touched her, Gu Miao froze, looking slightly uncomfortable.
I don't know if Gu Xu meant it or not, but speaking at this time just diverted her attention.
"I met the daughter of one of the directors of the old gentleman's medical team. I plan to make some subtle inquiries to see if there is anything wrong with the old gentleman's health."
"I haven't seen the old gentleman all day today. I heard that he has been resting upstairs. And Yue Song told me that this is probably why the old gentleman is so eager to force you to get married."
"But our guess has never been able to be verified."
"When Ah Huai came the day before yesterday, why didn't you ask him to help?"
"..." Gu Miao didn't expect him to ask this.
"I didn't expect that."
Behind him, there was silence. If it weren't for the cool touch on his skin, Gu Miao would have thought he was distracted.
Silence brings unease.
Gu Miao clenched her pillow tightly, turned her head carefully, and looked at his face with the help of weak light.
The man lowered his eyes, half of his face hidden in the dark, and his emotions were unclear, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Brother...are you angry?"
She gently tugged on his sleeve.
Just as the medicine was applied, the man threw away the cotton swab.
He glanced down at the hands on the sleeves, and then shifted his gaze to her face.
The girl's eyes were wet, and as expected, she was acting coquettishly again.
Her usual trick.
It just so happened that after so long, he just kept doing this.
"No." He heard his own voice that went against his heart.
How could you not be angry?
He learned from Yuesong that she and Yuesong had recently been trying to find the reason for her grandfather's abnormality.
So long, no results.
And He Zhihuai is undoubtedly a shortcut.
She is so smart, she should have realized it a long time ago.
But in the end, He Zhihuai still stayed out of the matter and had no idea what was going on between them.
It's always an exception, just walking cleanly outside the edge.
It’s hard not to care.
More than once, he investigated the time when Gu Miao and He Zhihuai came into contact.
There is nothing special about the number or location.
But she paid special attention to He Zhihuai. It seemed that no one could shake He Zhihuai's position in her heart.
His thoughts were pulled away, and when he came back, the person on his knees had already stood up, kneeling and sitting opposite him, looking up at him helplessly.
Gu Xu chuckled and raised his hand to touch her cheek.
"Not angry."
"Miaomiao can be understood as... it's your brother's love for you that is screaming."
His eyes passed over her brows, he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her brows.
There is no desire, only valuing.
Gu Miao was in a trance for a moment.
There was even an urge to appease him. But I heard him say——
"Miaomiao, stay in the port city, stay with your brother."
"Soon, it will be over."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"No one will bother us anymore."
We are not afraid of the ferocity of wild beasts, but we are afraid of their ability to confuse people.
Gu Miao blinked, "Okay."
The fingers on his cheek stopped, and Gu Xu lowered his head to meet her eyes.
After a brief look at each other, the man's chest trembled and he laughed softly, "Miaomiao is really bad at it and is lying to my brother again."
The roses he raised with his own hands will certainly have his shadow on them.
Gu Miao shook her head slightly, "No."
"It's really possible."
"However, I have two conditions."
"First, I need my brother to exchange your things."
"I want everything from you. Reputation, identity, status, and the entire He family."
"Second, I want... revenge."
"My brother's grandfather, my brother's parents, and my sister."
"I want you to trade with their lives."
The girl tilted her head and smiled, innocently and brilliantly. But what he said was horrifying.
Gu Xu looked at her without making any move.
His eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Soon, Gu Miao smiled again, "You're just kidding, brother, I won't let you do this."
"I know what you care about most, so I won't ruin it."
"This is just a joke, don't take it seriously..."
"Okay."
The happy voice was suddenly interrupted, and Gu Miao was slightly startled. Seeing a smile in the man's eyes, his tone was relaxed: "I said yes."
He even asked her: "Are these two conditions the only ones?"
"..."
Suddenly there was a feeling of being turned against the general.
Gu Miao's lips trembled slightly as she secretly looked at his expression, trying to find any flaw.
He must have said that on purpose.
He can't do such a thing.
For Gu Xu, he never does multiple choice questions.
If he could choose between inheritance and her, he would definitely abandon her first.
So far, he has not given up on her, just because he is not mortally threatened, so he wants both.
"Why did you hesitate?"
He saw her panic.
"If these things can make you feel a little more secure when you stay with me, that's okay."
"They are all external things."
"As for your second condition, I need time. Maybe I can't do what you say right away, but I can take away their most important thing first."
"..." He seemed to be really planning this matter seriously.
Gu Miao waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, brother, I... am really joking."
"Don't be like this, I'm scared."
"The next time you bluff someone, remember to think about your retreat first."
She was nervous and didn't know where to put her hands. Gu Xu smiled and held her hand, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her:
"This will never happen again."
