Chapter 1318: She Hugged Him, Crying in Fear
The fis.h.i.+ng village was not big and there was a big mountain behind it. If anything happened in the village, everyone would know it.
It was a very strange thing for everyone when four luxurious limousines suddenly came into the village.
Many people came out to take a look.
After changing her clothes, Gu Meng came out of her house and many villagers stood outside the yard.
“Little Meng, you have guests?”
“How can the Gu family have any distinguished guests? They’re one of the poorest families in our village.”
“Could it be that the head has sent someone to catch the Gu family because their son has contracted a strange disease?”
When Gu Meng heard that the villagers were getting more and more ridiculous, she quickly explained, “It’s a leader, but he’s not here to arrest our family. He came to help treat my brother and visit our village.”
Gu Meng wanted to ask the villagers to go home, but the car door was pushed open and the tall Ye Qing with long legs got out from the car.
At this time, there was still abundant sunlight and when he came out of the car, the golden rays of light gave a golden tinge to his well-defined and handsome face, making him seem like a G.o.d from the heavens.
The villagers were dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a handsome and elegant man before! They had never thought that he was the silent Ah Dai who they had all looked down upon before!
Ye Qing nodded at the villagers and he motioned for the butler and bodyguard to wait here. He and Gu Meng went out.
The villagers cleared a path for them.
When the two of them had walked a distance away, the villagers were still cautiously following behind.
Ye Qing did not look back and glanced at Gu Meng who was beside him. “I’ll ask the butler to find the village head later. The roads here need to be repaired.”
“No.” Gu Meng puffed up her cheeks. “The head has allocated the money already but the village has not gotten it repaired yet. Besides, they didn’t treat you well before.”
Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng’s angry expression and a trace of a smile appeared on his lips. “How did they not treat me well?”
“They said that you’re ugly, the children threw stones at you and the adults created trouble for you from time to time. Anyway, they excluded you and I don’t like them.”
The sunlight cast mottled shadows through the branches and leaves of trees on both sides of the secluded forest path. Ye Qing looked at the girl who was expressing discontent for him and a trace of a strange feeling surged out from his heart suddenly.
Raising his slender and fair hand, he was about to pat her head but she suddenly ran forward and turned around, a bright and charming smile on her face. “But it’s all in the past. You are better than them now and you’re way beyond their reach. If they know that you’re Ah Dai, their jaws would probably drop in shock. Haha!”
When she was running, her high ponytail drew a beautiful arc in the air and when she smiled, showing her white and neat teeth, and her eyes curved into crescents, it made people feel that she was so pure and beautiful.
Gu Meng saw that Ye Qing was staring at her and she turned her head away hurriedly, raising her hand to brush off the strands of hair on her cheek because she knew that she had lost a lot of weight recently and she was worried that she did not look good.
After finis.h.i.+ng this series of actions, she felt that she was thinking too much. He did not like her at all, so why would he care whether she was looking good or not?
Laughing at her silly thoughts inside, Gu Meng collected herself again. Gu Meng continued to walk to the front, keeping a few steps away from Ye Qing.
After walking for a while, Gu Meng saw that there was no one following behind. She looked back and saw Ye Qing stopping in front of a big tree.
Seeming to have thought of something, a trace of a panicked expression appeared on Gu Meng’s face. She ran towards Ye Qing in a hurry and used her body to block the tree.
The light that was s.h.i.+ning through the branches and leaves fell on Ye Qing, making his eyes look more deep. He was taller than her and he looked down at her.
Neither of them spoke and there was a subtle change in the atmosphere around them. There was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of Gu Meng’s nose.
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, his voice deep. “I already saw it.”
Gu Meng’s slender shoulders sagged down in an instant.
The word ‘KISS’ was carved on the tree, followed by the words ‘Dai’ and ‘Meng’.
“Did I kiss you here?” he asked.
Gu Meng could not help thinking about that night. She was forced by her mother to go for a blind date with a young man in the village. The young man was from a well-to-do family and was willing to give the Gu family a generous betrothal gift. She remembered her mother was satisfied with this young man.
At that time, she had a big fight with her mother and ran out to find Brother Ah Dai.
She told Brother Ah Dai about her blind date and even confessed her feelings for him. But Brother Ah Dai was indifferent and she cried in anger because of him.
She ran out crying from where he lived and when she went past this road, she was pulled by a long and strong arm.
Before she could react, she was pressed against the tree by his tall and firm body.
She was surprised and her mouth hung open slightly. He held her tightly and their bodies were pressed together closely. They could hear each other’s heartbeat through their clothes.
“You’re not allowed to get married.”
He said these few words then lowered his head, pressing his lips against her slightly opened ones.
Without giving her anytime to think, he pried open her teeth domineeringly and his tongue entered her mouth, entangling her tongue.
That was her first time kissing and she did not even know how to breathe the whole time. She was like a wooden carving, her tongue turning numb by his kiss, unable to breathe properly and her legs turning so weak she almost melted.
…
Seeing Gu Meng’s face turning red, Ye Qing gave a small cough.
Gu Meng broke out of her daze and she was awkward and embarra.s.sed. “I’m sorry… I was just thinking about Brother Ah Dai.” She clearly understood that he was Ye Qing, the Third Prince, and not her Brother Ah Dai.
Perhaps, Brother Ah Dai would never come back in this life.
“Mr Ye, let’s go on!”
Without waiting for Ye Qing to say anything, Gu Meng went forward first. Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng’s slender back and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
…
Although there was no one living in Brother Ah Dai’s house after he left, Gu Meng had tidied it for him from time to time.
The other time she came back from the Capital, she removed all the gra.s.s in the yard. It was the season where flowers would bloom and there were many flowers planted in the yard. When the breeze blew, there was a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance.
Gu Meng took out the key and opened the door.
The furnis.h.i.+ngs of the room were almost the same as when Ye Qing had left. It was very clean and tidy. All the bed sheets and blanket had been washed by Gu Meng and the clothes that were hanging in the wardrobe were often taken out by her to bask in the sun.
It seemed out of place for Ye Qing to enter here with his status now, but he did not seem to care.
Although he had no memories of this place, looking at the furnis.h.i.+ng of the house, he had a sense of inexplicable familiarity.
Looking at the simple wooden bed, an image flashed past his mind. A slender girl being pinned under him, their bodies naked as their legs entwined in heat. She held his broad and firm shoulders, saying softly, “Brother Ah Dai, I’m scared…”
